Checking-in for yesterday.
After my check-in on Monday, I didnāt make it through the rest of the evening. I binged and vaped, and again yesterday. Must stop going to the shops, no matter what my AV tells me I want/need, as I simply cannot trust myself not to arrive home with crisps (chips 
) and vapes.
Therapy was heavy, but good. I also managed to attend the support group for the first time, I left during the break, but Iām proud of myself for managing 1.5hrs, I donāt know if itās a good fit for me, but will go again next month and try to have my camera on.
Today is pleasant so far, Iāll check in for Today later on.

Donāt be hard on yourself that it didnāt work for you yet. It takes time and practice, like learning a language or working out, but it will work out in the end if you keep on trying! Try to distract yourself or change the environment (go for a walk or a swim) if the craving hits, that helped a lot in my case. Better days are just around the corner

Checking in on day 284.
Generally things are going well day to day. I have both kids off school sick today, and I was unable to go to my yoga class this morning as I was expecting a bulky delivery this morning. I have my parents coming to visit for a couple of nights as it is my birthday on Friday, so I have a bit of cleaning to do before they arrive. I have mixed feelings about them visiting. I think the last time they visited was back in October. They donāt feel comfortable drinking alcohol in front of me so they usually go through to bed pretty early and have some drinks secretly through in the bedroom. It makes for a pretty weird atmosphere to be honest. I think Iāll reinstall the serenity prayer as my screensaver in preparation. Iāve always found that a valuable tool even long before Iād heard of itās use within recovery circles.
Wishing everyone a fulfilling day in recovery! Much love

Day 911
Have been feeling a little negative lately. Nearly two and a half years sober, but still struggling with binge eating, procrastination, resentments, self-pity, people-pleasing, and feeling annoyed about that. Did some reading with my sponsor today, and there was a sentence about how you canāt make a flower bloom with a sledgehammer. It struck me hard. I canāt bully myself into change. I have to just keep applying myself, and be accepting of myself and whatever changes that come to me, little by little.
Also bought tickets for a trip back to the UK this summer with the kiddos for the first time in three years. I have some anxiety about it, will we get Corona while we are on the trip, how much will the trip cost, how will using public transport be, should we just hang around with relatives, or try to take a trip? I feel like I lost confidence to travel from staying put so long because of Corona. But what will be, will be, I guess. Should be positive and just look forward to it!

@Joan1 welcome to TLC!
@Hollieberry I have to say I think you handled your day perfectly! Unfortunately your phone fell in the bath, maybe next time completely silence your phone and put it in another room during your bath. But otherwise, sounds like you handled the rough day perfectly in sobriety. Tomorrow is here and hopefully will be better.

Hi all!
Had to go out yesterday and do the sign thing again to pay for my meds. Embarrassing, but I did get them. Gonna have to do it again today. My Internet payment got rejected, because I put money in my account and Disney+ got it before my Cox payment went through. I unsubscribed to Disney a month ago. 
So, anyway. I saw my case manager yesterday who had more not good news. I might have to get āevictedā for a month to keep my housing assistance. I donāt mind chilling at the mission for a few weeks, but I donāt want to have to empty out my house into storage, just to move it all back in.
Trying real hard not to drink today. Have to work on employment. Fingers crossed!
