tonight will be day 352 of no self harm. TW for mentions of vomit
so about 2 weeks ago I was extremely sick and was told I had norovirus. I threw up a lot(12 times in one day to be exact) and I think I got puke in my sinuses and gave myself a sinus infection. itās been annoying to say the least but Iāve been working through it and figured my immune system will kick it soon. I have not gotten any better and today I woke up with pink eye. I canāt go back to work until Iāve been on my antibiotic for 24 hours so I wonāt be back till Monday since I donāt work weekends.
I missed a couple days when I had norovirus and that was only 2 weeks ago, Iām missing two days this week, and then next week I have an exam for a teaching certificate that I already took the day off for.
nobody has said anything to me about all my time off but Iām getting really anxious about it. this job has just saved me in so many ways and Iām so worried that Iām going to mess it up. I know Iām being irrational Iām just trying to keep busy. also the side effects of my antibiotic can increase your heart rate which I think is part of the anxiety Iām feeling.
I feel mostly okay aside from my eye feeling weird and being tired. Iām going to hang out with a friend to take my mind off things soon
something positive: this time off gives me a chance to catch up on my lesson plans I am pretty behind

Oh dear. I was going to mention last night that most of those symptoms are usually norovirus and easy to transmit. Clean hands, utensils, towels, etc. I know you know this. Hugs for quick healing and that your son does not get it. I am sorry and will say prayers.

Noroviruses go around and so does pink eye. Everyone is susceptible to getting it and they all know that. Rest and take care of yourself. Study for your exam too and good luck on that!
Editing to add BIG HUGE CONGRATS on your 352 days!! Be so proud of that and please come in on your one year! We want to celebrate YOU!

45.6 days AF thanks to all you wonderful people, and what the heck, I thought, let me also quit the Diet Coke now. Iāve been a 6 pack a day Diet Coke drinker for most of my adult life. Iām doing perfectly well on my alcohol quitting, Diet Coke should be easy peasy!!!
Nope. Ouch. Bahahahah The headaches. The thoughts. Good lord Iād rather kickbox a three legged man. Iād rather crawl across a mile of crushed coral, and then take a warm salt water bath. Iād sooner kiss my best friends mom then go through this. Why Iād rather my dentist perform open heart surgery on me than to suffer these āwantsā.
But wait. It seems like addiction is addiction. Lots of it (not all, and not for everyone) is in the mind.
And in my mind, I got this one too. So good bye Diet Coke and all your caffeine. 
I donāt need you anymore.
(PS- if anyone has stock in Coca-Cola, Iād advise you to dump it today, cuz once this hits the public, their stock will drop!!)

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Numbers do have significance for me. Hereās two that Iāve been thinking about for quite some time to see together. Todayās the day. Iām proud of myself. Just like you all should be, whether youāre on day one or day 10,000. Just keep going one day at a time. My lifeās still not easy but it is infinitely better now. No more hiding. Iām here. X

Checking in on day 52, yesterday was just too busy and the night was horrible due to my girlfriend walking up from cramps in her legs. Completed my small Lego project yesterday, which was at least a little bit of relaxation.
@SoberWalker thanks once again for the beautiful photo, such lovely places you have the chance to see 
.
Have a good and sober weekend, and endurance and strength especially to the ones currently struggling. It will get better, just please donāt give up!

Day 34.
Today I finally finished the Annie Grace book, gonna buy another piece of literature later this evening, after Iām done with work. Things are settling in well for me. The PAWS are slowly receding, my energy levels seem to slowly increase, and Iām starting to wake up earlier in the morning. My goal is to start being up around 7, now itās between 9 am and 10 am. Itāsā¦ a process. I also wanna restart my workouts, but for now Iām focusing on getting a few daily walks in. Itās better than nothing!

Day 262, itās funny around here. Sometimes all we do is bitch about who has what chore bc half the time guys donāt do them. We have like six bathrooms and usually they are disgusting, two guys havenāt cleaned the bathroom that I usually use since they have had the chore. But today said, the courage to change the things I can, without holding a resentment just got the stuff together and cleaned the bathrooms this morning. Sobriety is about changing my ways and becoming a better person and doing the next right thing. Not bitch and moan about what somebody else isnāt doing, their recovery isnāt my recovery. Feeling proud today, starting to save some money so I can buy myself another mountain bike. Much love everyone
