Have as good a day as you can friends. Sober and clean. Love.

Day off. Coffee time. Me time. Not sure what Iā€™ll do yet. Thatā€™s fine. It wonā€™t involve drugging or boozing thatā€™s for sure. x
@Butterflymoonwoman My own pictures yes. Thanks. I really like to do it. This oneā€™s from 6 years ago today, Texas Hill Country. I can feel the warmth now.
@SoberWalker Thatā€™s a great image friend.
@Minatasha Youā€™re here. Thanks for that. Iā€™m with LeeHawk in saying you might need more help too. Hugs.

So it seems I still have a job, but got new truck to drive today and it is nightmare atm. It has semi automatic clutch that I have only driven once in the past and it looks like that one is even more complicated. I struggling so hard to get it going in the city, cars beeping around and I am like ##*@#! ##@##!!! :see_no_evil::angry::sob::sob::sob:

looking for answers everywhere, calling other drivers hope I will work it outā€¦

Hey there everyone! Just wanted to check in a bit :heavy_check_mark: :white_check_mark: hope everyoneā€™s doing well out there on their journey to Soberity. I found this great meem and just wanted to share it with everyone. Today I went to my momā€™s still looking for a car :red_car: :rotating_light: and also helped my mom clean her house :house::house_with_garden: bc my family case manager for DCS is coming to do a home check so I can start my unsupervised visits at my momā€™s with my son and I am just so freaking excited I cannot wait to see my baby I miss him bunches!

Sorry to hear what youre going through but making yourself vulnerable to us all. Ive been through something similar, oh man the despair was intense. Not sure what you believe in but dropping to my knees and calling out to God saved me.
Please dont give up. Listen to those voices that speak love and life into your spirit and ignore the rest. :blue_heart:šŸ©µ:blue_heart:

Hey Dana Iā€™m hoping to be writing more music, painting/drawing and doing a lot of reading! I find that I have not done those things in so long it is a little difficult getting back into it but I know the rewards will be worth it! Have a great day! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Day 1,018 clean and sober, day 2 no social media. Itā€™s crazy how many times I want to look at my phone throughout the day and crazy how Iā€™ve conditioned my brain to do that. It canā€™t be good to be so hooked on something especially something that consistently floods my mind with so many things at a time. Iā€™m excited to see how things progress for sure. I hope everyone has a great day today, love you guys! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Checking in for yesterday, typed all of this last night but fell asleep before posting. Will check in later on for todayā€¦

Woke up nice and early, did my morning routine, played PokƩmon for an hour, then did my morning walk.

Then I walked to the shopping centre as I was on my last glass of squash, stocked up on that, plus I found a waterproof jacket, the last one of itā€™s type, and it fitted me, and the bonus was, the tag said Ā£35, but when I scanned it it was Ā£20! :partying_face:

I walked home, then did 2 loads of washing, one is drying on the airer, the other was stuff I tumble dry so thatā€™s dry now.

I was suffering with dark depression all afternoon, it took all of my strength to get myself out for a walk. All I could think about all afternoon was crisps (chips), Iā€™m still thinking about them now, but I havenā€™t given in, and the shops are closed now, so Iā€™m safe for tonight.

In the second half of my walk, about 10mins from home, I felt like I was going to pass out, so I had to sit on a bench for 10mins, I still struggled the rest of the way home. I get these funny turns sometimes, and I used to eat a load of something sugary, thinking my blood glucose must be low or something, but I didnā€™t use that as a reason to eat anything today.

This evening Iā€™ve been freezing cold, even with the window closed and heater on. Iā€™ve had to resort to wearing thermal top and bottoms, thermal socks on top of regular socks, then my Batman onesie on top! :sweat_smile:

I hope youā€™ve all had wonderful sober weekends. :blush:

You are dealing with a couple of addictions, whatā€™s your status with all of them? Feeling like nothing can ever get better is a trick of your addictive mind. Many of us here have experienced life getting better once we are free of addiction, you can too. :purple_heart:

I am sorry you are in this bad head space right now. I have no real advice for you. You were writing a lot about your cleaning strategy. I was often thinking, why is this so hard for you. Then, in the last weeks where I faced a lot of changes in my life that shake me I discovered that bit by bit my apartment looks like a disaster. It take a lot of energy to say: comon, put the things where they belong instead of dropping them somewhere. Itā€™s a structure I need and one is impacting the other in a positive or negative way. I have to force myself to tidy up. Also, I had to let go of the expectation that my life would change for the better just by not drinking. This somehow didnā€™t happen. I have to be active to make changes and only not being hungover every morning enables me to do some steps. Itā€™s not easy at times. I am glad you are with us here. Donā€™t give up in you.
