I do believe the universe responds to what your inner self truly needs and desires, and it knows what that is better than we do at times. Next right thing and stay on the path.

Yeah, jippiiii. Well, the normal for me. I still sometimes think how amazing it is to be here at 1600 days when 1601 days ago I couldnā€™t manage 3 days in a row. I had tried so many things like probably most of us to moderate, I had a ā€˜Sparschweinā€™ where I would put the money I saved from one day without alcohol. Now I never understand this strategy. Must be something symbolic. Didnā€™t work.

So here I am after I thought Iā€™d be relieved to finally have some things sorted like where I will be sleeping from April to June, I still have no contract for this ā€˜beautifulā€™ trip. I cannot concentrate at all. Like not at all. Packing again. Then traveling again tomorrow. Not forgetting anything as I cannot easily go back. But one thing after the other. Focus. Donā€™t spiral down. Slept like crap until 0230 am. Watched a bit of carnival row but I think I can restart as I mostly ā€˜sawā€™ it as a podcast. :see_no_evil:

I hope everyone has a good day! I just wanted to say what I have learnt: Trockenheit ist nicht alles aber ohne Trockenheit ist alles nichts.

Day 173
The dream I had last night couldā€™ve been a great script for a new horror zombie movie :flushed:
I woke up and just thought ā€œwtf brain!?ā€.
Went to bed earlier yesterday, had solid 6,5 hours of sleep. Not enough but better than 4 hours. My body loves to remind me that Iā€™m over 40, thanks but please be quiet now :joy:
On my way to work, only a 7 hour shift today and 6 tomorrow :partying_face:
See you later everyone, and stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:

Day 19. Loving the feeling of being excited about life again knowing that if I stay on this path then I will remember everything, not embarrass myself and stay safe (relative to being less safe when drunk). Just going to keep on keeping on.

I always think how you are :kissing_closed_eyes:
We are apart of eachother journeys. Watched eachother grow.

You do what is right for you.
Il look forward to reading your weekly check in :slightly_smiling_face:

Woooooo! Congrats to you on another round number, 1600 days is a beauty. Thank you for your connection here, friend. Youā€™ve been a great support. I enjoy hearing your reflections and seeing how far youā€™ve come.

Iā€™m so sorry youā€™re stuck. I got stuck in the worst job for 3 years and it ruined my already problematic self-esteem. I now have an OK job (not a dream job but acceptable) and I canā€™t get myself to be good at it bc of what that other job did to me. Iā€™m praying Lady Luck will soon pay you a visit and donā€™t lose hope, keep pushing and applying.

Just a quick check-in. Rain forecast again for today - prescription for depression! But the sky is clear right now so hopefully weā€™ll get at least a nice morning walk with a bit of sunshine. Have a good one everyone.
