Checking in day 179! Been dealing with some stressors related to my ex who is deep in his addiction, but I’ve been doing decent (and getting better) at upholding my boundaries which is so, so helpful- but it’s still not easy. It hasn’t been a trigger to drink- if anything it’s a reinforcement of why I don’t want to.

I’ve gone out on two casual dates just to meet new people (no desire for a relationship right now, and have been up front about that) and it’s been really nice getting to know people while I’m sober. I’m also trying to get back in touch with hobbies (picked up knitting again and signed up for a kickball league). It’s all a process but life is so much better than it was 179 days ago.

Today I work 12 hours and run a pretty big process group which I’m nervous about, but I’ll do my best! Hope you all have a great sober Thursday!

Good morning everyone day 275 and I believe today is 9 months. All I can say is wow, it’s been a ride. A amazing ride at that, idk where I would be without rehab and this half way house. To say I’m grateful is a understatement, I remember saying I didn’t need rehab, I didn’t need a half way house. But guess what, I did need it. It’s helped build me into a strong person, I’m so excited for school and so excited for my recovery coach classes. Thanks as always for your support and honest feedback that you always provide. I’m loving life and finally feel like I’m on the right path. Much love everyone ttyl

I love the area. My sister had lived in San Rafael for a year or so and now in Fairfax. I feel at home driving over the golden gate, through the rainbow tunnel (I am from Amsterdam Netherlands).

@Bones_80 congrats on triple digits :100: :tada:

934 days no alcohol.
399 days no cocaine.
21 days no vape.
2 days no binge-eating.

Did my walks and meditations. My feet are starting to hurt pretty bad but I don’t want to stop as I’ve been consistent for 7 weeks now. Will see how they go.

Feeling a bit like the weather here, gloomy and cold. I’ve seen some wild Snow Drops growing whilst I’ve been out today though, and I saw 2 white Doves, not a common sight here so I loved seeing them and regret not taking a photo.

I just had my boss pull me aside at work. had this paper I had to sign and everything. parents are telling management that I said their kids were bad and that I was gonna call DHS. I never once said anything remotely close to that. so I humiliated myself at work and cried for a while and now I’m going home because this panic attack won’t stop

I’m waiting for my ride but none of my 2 friends can answer their phones right now so I’m sitting outside work sobbing and I’ve gotten looks from coworkers but no one has spoke to me

update: I’m home now. I think the worst part is there’s two teachers in prek who I’ve told management at least 6 times have physically hurt kids. dragging them by their arms usually. and no one has done anything. and then they said I need time to ā€œlearn and growā€ so I was going to be removed from my class for the day and shadow those Pre-K teachers.

Day 382
Today has been abit better. I already have received 1 email back from what i sent off last night regarding my sons sleep study. I was told that i made valid points and that she would be talking to the coordinator of homecare to see what can be done about my sons nurse joining us that night. I was also given the number to speak to the coordinator myself and will do that this afternoon. I feel like im making progress.

This morning after getting my son on the bus to school, i exercised for about 1.5 hours. Mainly cardio but did some abs also. Ate a good breakfast. Did up a grocery list for tomorrow. And now idk what im doing. Most likely a meditation and some prayer. The usual cleaning. May work on my self-love work book. Just going to enjoy the day and the beautiful weather out there.

Hope everyone has an addiction free day
