Day 227
Feeling like Iā€™ve accomplished a lot in this time period! Got over an itch that I had to act out but did outreach to people new to recovery! All is now well.
Thank you to @mewmcmew !

323 days AF
201 days nicotine free

Today I have good news as all my liver markers are back to normal, also everything else has improved greatly since I last did my check up on may 2022 (I was one month sober then).

I hope that somebody reads this and gets encouraged to push it to not drinking, at least not today or not tomorrow.
Doctor said also not smoking helps.

I al in calm, at peace now, and even if the day was stressful I get to end it with a smile.

Read you all tomorrow as I love spending my time here everyday before bed.

Hugs and love

Day 51. Just finished work for the day. It wasnā€™t too bad. Donā€™t feel anywhere close to fully productive, but making a little progress with it. Iā€™m still just overwhelmed by the number of things going wrong in life right now. To top it off Iā€™ve been sick to my stomach all day. Probably stress related. In the past I would just drink to forget all my problems, but we all know that drinking just causes more problems. Iā€™m grateful that I donā€™t want to drink. I really wish I could get a decent nights sleep. That would really help my mood. Insomnia has been awful lately.

Day 9 no weed day 114 no alcohol

Good morning, afternoon or evening

Itā€™s the evening here
I got out of work at 3pm or 15:00

Today was rushed all day
I woke up at 8:30am, rushed to get rent money, thenade it to work at 10am

Rushed all day at work. My boss told me to slow down and focus. I need to put 30 boxes of items away a hour and I was way behind. In 5 hours I put out only about 50 or 60boxes. Iā€™m not too down about it because Iā€™m just learning and Iā€™m paying close attention and learning the tricks of the trade
Day off tomorrow but we are getting a snow storm tonight and I literally live a 2min walk around the corner away from my job so if I get called in, I wonā€™t be surprised
A piece of me wants to be called in to make money

I made some calls after work and got my wifey a phyc appointment. With the insurance, itā€™s 20$ per session but if that fails, itā€™s 100$ per session. Iā€™m not even worried about paying because Iā€™ll have the money but spending only 20$ sounds very nice.

It just works out I guess. I got lucky mostly. Now I canā€™t let my guard down and I must keep this job. Itā€™s very important to me

So thatā€™s my day and my head space

Stay strong

Hope everyone is having a good day!

I am in SAA and SLAA. i become emotionally attached easily, but sex is the addiction. But when I donā€™t get attached, ill find a new partner within a month or less.

Iā€™m on day 15 of abstinence, but still letting go of love. Iā€™m feeling a lot of different emotions and i feel like if i find someone else to focus on, ill forget the last one. But then the pattern still continues and more often, unless somebody sticks around.

Iā€™m avoiding dating apps, they are poison for me. Iā€™ve deleted phone numbers of past flings and even changed my phone numberā€¦ Iā€™ve been focusing on redirecting my thoughts and deep breathing. I just needed to vent thanks.

Oh theyā€™re blooming already? Beautiful! Here nothing has started to bloom except some flowers that donā€™t mind the cold.
Looking forward to see our cherry trees bloom too. It always looks so beautiful, we have many here and itā€™s always pretty much packed. Everyone wants a picture with themselves and the trees :heart_eyes:
