Go go! 
I found glutenfree pizza, I pimped it with bacon and onions.
But the best I found was glutenfree fresh pasta

Really bad day. My ego is in the toilet. I got a rejection email from my dream job application, another in a long line of rejection emails. I can’t even get a first round interview anywhere. I’m stuck in a horrible toxic job and I don’t have the savings to quit or to take time to “find myself”. Sure, I stopped drinking but now I’m just stuck with the life I was drinking to escape from. Feeling hopelessly stuck.

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that you got knocked back, that really is too bad and upsetting I can imagine.
Quick though… really concentrate and remember what the hangovers were like, the anxiety, the guilt. Even at this low point your life must be SO much better than life with a hangover. You’re not stuck with a life you were drinking to escape, you’ve had a setback and getting on that upward track will take a little longer but it WILL happen if you keep trying. There is just no way drinking makes any of this better, you know that. Stay strong!

Thank you, I will! It feels hopeless right now but I will hang on. It helps to share here.

Hey guys checking in. About 4 pm here. Cravings are off the fuckin charts today. I sat in on a smart recovery meeting earlier ( couldn’t join in cause I was in a work truck with other people, so just used headphones). I listened to an hour and a half podcast on the drive home. Im gonna fight through but nothing really seems to be helping today. Plus I’m stuck in the house now, waiting on the cable company to come out and fix the Wi-Fi, with their bullshit 5- 9:30 window. Everything just seems to be pissing me off today. Will get better soon I guess.

I hear you on the urges being strong some days; I had a stressful day and it popped in my head briefly. I know me though and it would be off to the races, by myself no less, lol
I would drink alone. It’s not worth it, remember one of your worst times with it.

Day 74. Starting to feel a tad better, but not great. It’s just cold and rainy. But it was a fairly productive day at work and I had a good chat with a couple coworkers.

Thanks, I’m feeling a little bit better. I did one of those worksheets in my recovery book. Than kinda just tried to zone out by myself for a couple minutes. Lol
You and me both.

Awe my friend. This made me smile and oddly enough tear up lol Im doing ok recovery wise but just have been going thru alot of emotions lately. Been doing some comparing lately and feeling sort of less than. But other than that im okay! Grateful for my recovery Im glad what i said helped. And what u posted to me just now also helped me. It reminded me that what i do post on here can actually be helpful to others. I have been feeling distant a little bit lately and not helping the next recovering addict/alcoholic nearly as much as I should. And u just changed my thinking on this 
thank you friend

I noticed you were a bit quite, with short check ins and had me thinking of you you are always supportive too so many here.
If you need time for yourself then take that time, but don’t stay away too long we want and need you here 
Your a huge part of this community and cared about so much. 
Sending you healing love and hugs

Thank u for noticing friend. That truly means alot. Theres a few reasons why i have not gone into detail every day about my day. But i am doing a weekly check in on sundays (basically a general overview of my week and what my goals are for the following week). This change is nothing bad just a personal prefrence if i was having a hard day or something id definitly check in for sure for support. But i do need to remember that I can only keep what i have (in the sense of my recovery) , by also giving it away and helping others. There is sonething magical that happens when we addicts and alcoholics help each other

@Eileen82 Welcome! And congrats!
@Catmama23 Job hunting really can be soul-sucking. Don’t take it personally. Is there anything you can do to make the current job more bearable? Or could you do something to feel like you are working towards something in the future?

Day 67, technically 68 as it’s past midnight.
Today was a good day, I went to the dentist and finally got my little root canal problem sorted. It’s been a long long day and I’m ready to go to sleep. Will probably have more meaningful things to say tomorrow. Right now, I just wanted to check-in. Sober. And really happy to be sober. And without toothaches.

Thank you… I’m trying to put up better boundaries, but I’ve also realized since I got sober that I’m more of a people pleaser than I realized… so I’m trying to let go of feeling like I have to answer every email right away, keep everybody happy, etc…. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something but I haven’t figured it out yet!

Getting sober will certainly make you realise lots about yourself! And putting up boundaries is definitely a skill that takes time to learn.
