I hope you start to feel better soon. Being sick is no fun, my daughter has just recovered from a yucky stomach bug, I’m waiting to see if I catch it.
Take care

336 days sober 
I’ve been listening to some really helpful podcasts this last week. It’s been really great, I can feel my perspective starting to change a bit after all the psychology chats I’ve been listening too. I’m slightly obsessed with Where Should We Begin by Esther Perel. Anyone listen to that? Super interesting listens.

Day 380
Today has been really good. And honestly not much even happened. I think its bcuz i chose to connect by meditating and praying, that really made the difference. The state of my mind really impacts the day im going to have. So i think moving forward, I am going to make sure that i set aside time for myself in the mornings (no matter whats going on) to do my fav 3 min morning meditation off the Insight Timer app and also to pray. I need that guidance from my HP otherwise things go to sh!t lol.
I switched up my workouts to incorporate more cardio and im loving that im getting my extra steps in for one of my virtual challenges that Im doing. I set my 2023 goal as 2023km for the year. Im behind bcuz of being sick last week so im playing catch up.
My son had a great day at school today also. No behavioural concerns today so thats a huge plus! Grateful for that 
I also got my medal 
in the mail today for my first virutal challenge that was completed in Feb (the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia). Im waiting for hubby to get home so that we can open it together. Ill take a pic tmrw with it and post it in the selfies. Its incredible bcuz i would never be doing these if i was high, so this medal is very much a representation of recovery for me.
I finally have some time to sit and read on TS. So will do that now. Hope everyone is doing okay and staying focused on recovery!

Day 45 (or 46 as it’s waaay past midnight)
Stayed up most of the night working. It’s been a stressful few days, but I just about managed to pull through and do all my tasks. I’ve found it easy to jump back into negative self-talk and beating myself up for leaving things to the very last minute. But… then I realised how hard February has been. Early sobriety, PAWS, dealing with emotions (and I got LOADS of them-- thanks BPD), implementing new routines… That shit isn’t easy. But I made it. I’m sober. And still in one piece. So… yeah. I’m just gonna pat myself on the back here for not falling apart this time.

Day 7 today. Yep, 1 week and feeling pretty good. Not going to lie, do crave a drink now and then and a smoke too but no to them both. Im doing ok except for eating too much sugar but i will give myself some time to get that under control. A quiet evening with a cup of tea tonight.

Today marks #26 for me and it was a bumpy one but stayed on course. Had some cravings kick in and took me a little bit to push through it and get my mind off of it. But did some four square breathing and visualization techniques to help cope. Also, want to thank everyone for the welcome to the group and look forward to sharing what I can to help us all succeed!

It’s very contageous from what I’ve heard.
