I donā€™t think the price of eggs has gone up that much here in the UK, but itā€™s the availability thatā€™s dropped. I had to go to three different supermarkets before I could get the eggs to make my daughterā€™s birthday cake yesterday.
I hope everything works out for you.

Good morning! I made it through step 5! I feel relieved and aware on a new levelā€¦aware of fears and patternsā€¦ relieved that my sponsor is a safe place and that I didnā€™t feel judged one timeā€¦recovery is beautiful even in the heaviest momentsā€¦Iā€™m so grateful for life todayā€¦I remember 261 days ago I wore darkness like a cloak around my shoulders and wanted life to be overā€¦today I have a solution and a tribe of women who hold me up on days I canā€™t stand on my ownā€¦thank God for connection! Have a beautiful day! Choose life!!!

Day 267. It really is wild how much you really need to challenge your thinking, if you donā€™t youā€™ll fall into old patterns. Iā€™m up and at it early this morning been doing good at staying up when I wake up in the morning. Trying to keep that routine for future goals. Iā€™ve been thinking about my recovery coach classes alot and I like that im nervous to start, it shows me that Iā€™m excited and will strive to be the best I can. I guess I donā€™t have to much more to say. Grateful to make choices for myself, grateful to be clear headed to make the right choices, grateful for another beautiful day sober and grateful for my beautiful girls much love

Checking in on day 510 :gem:

Been out to the shops already, got ingredients going to spend today cooking but first I will hoover, and do any little things that need doing and then get my chef hat on.
Not exactly made my mind up what I will cook but Iā€™m looking forward to it.

Have a great day everyone :slightly_smiling_face:

Day 298 here.
It was my daughterā€™s 11th birthday yesterday so I had a full on day having everything really nice for her. She loved opening her Hogwarts trunk with various Harry Potter gifts in the morning, and I made pancakes for breakfast before school. It was also my best friendā€™s 50th yesterday so we chatted for a bit and then I got down to making the birthday cake.
It was a really lovely and fun day but as it came close to the kids bedtime I realised I was totally knackered! Iā€™d normally stay up a little later to decompress but I just decided to get an early night. I realised that I was feeling quite sad and a bit alone but I was able to process that it was just because I was so tired. I would normally have had a nap at some point of the day but never had the chance yesterday. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep.
My sonā€™s home economics class is doing a master chef competition in a few weeks and he wants to make Korean fried chicken for that. Heā€™s to practice at home so tonight weā€™ll do that together as my daughter is out with young carers ā€œbowling with foodā€ :joy:
Have a good addiction free day everyone!

Day 144
Back from the Dr. My throat is still a little red and some lymph nodes are swollen but Iā€™m getting better every day. What a ride. I got a sick note for this week too so the boss wonā€™t bother me.
Now I need some fresh fruits, tea and I crave pizza! I shall get one. And maybe some other yummies :relaxed:
No cravings, no bad mood swings, Iā€™m finally sleeping good without waking up. Sobriety is awesome :+1: I donā€™t wanna know what alcohol wouldā€™ve done to me while having a cold.
I hope youā€™re having a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:

Edit: what didnā€™t I buy? Exactly. Pizza. :+1::sob:
