Wow it’s 8am I had as lie in. Was up at 5am to feed the cats breakfast at there usual time and I fell back asleep.
I’m so happy my new routine works, I have to be very strict myself as it’s so easy to just fall back.
I do love Saturdays. Today I am going to do some planting seeds in my mini green house :grinning: really excited for this today.
Cook something lovely, I haven’t decided yet.
And enjoy the day to my best ability.
Have as blessed day :purple_heart:

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

Going to follow @Twizzlers’s lead, cook a good meal and do something else enjoyable and homely today. Can’t work on my balcony garden yet as there’s still renovation work going on but I’ll think of something. X

Hi Karen I also have this issue.
I started taking magnesium with the go ahead from my Dr and it really helps. But before this I ended up finding a way that would help ease it a bit.

My trick was to use a travel pillow around my neck when watching TV or laying in bed and this really reduced these symptoms.
This is the one I use :hugs:

Checking in for yesterday, I fell asleep waiting for the day count to tick over again. :man_facepalming:t2:

I slept better. Did all of my usual routine, meditations, both walks in the rain. Depression is back with the gloomy weather returning. It’s okay, I’m okay. Glimmers of Spring are beginning to appear, and they give me hope.

Today, I think I’m going to take myself out to the cinema to see Creed 3 and John Wick 4, there will be popcorn :popcorn:

Checking in.

Jesus Christ. I just got home with the rental car. I made it. I was such a nervous mess. Came there and she said: you have been upgraded to a bigger car :roll_eyes::scream: and the car is on the 7th floor in a parking house. :confounded: I arrived there: automatic. :scream: Called my brother panicking. He explained it to me. I sold my car (Opel Adam, size of a smart) almost 3 years ago. there was a man watching me and he came over and asked if he could help me. So he explained it to me and drove two rounds in the parking house.

And now, here I am, calming down a bit. Made the first 4 km of my trip :crazy_face::partying_face:

Nice car. Love automatic ever since I went on road trips in the USA. Automatic and cruise control and a bigger car, ideal for a long ride. You’re all set!

Congratulations @KellyKelly you did it! Turning your life around in the process! Big congrats! Enjoy what you’re doing now and celebrate your achievement! :hugs:

I hope it has the old fashioned bar you grab to move it from park to drive but if not then I know you’ll still ace it. I rented a car not too long ago and it just had buttons to push on the dash! Park, Drive, Reverse.
Yikes! Yes to automatic! Page 1 of your journey.

Oh good! And yes the long spaces between comments is hard to keep track. Im new amd this app limits my posts. Which is a very good feature! I habe a tendency to over-share and the admins of this app are saying, “whoa! Reel it in girl!” I love this app! Over 2 days sober. Feeling great. Finally got a good night’s sleep last night.

Day 963

Had a day when I felt we were hardly in the house. Costco and then walk around a park, quick lunch at home then regular appointment with my son, walk along the river and around a shopping mall and called into udon shop for dinner. Feeling pretty tired. Just played Taboo with my daughter, she can only read about half the words so there were some interesting turns.
