I’ll probably just leave it. I’m too tired to waste energy on arguing.

I agree with @Billy85
Especially if the page lists air conditioning under amenities. That’s total crap.

One side effect of insomnia - I managed to catch this pretty number 
It looks like a lot of days - truth is it’s always a day at a time in my mind. I still have ups and downs dealing with my mental and physical health that can be really challenging. But I know that not drinking at things affords me a higher baseline to start from even when I am feeling really low. It’s that whole thing about feeling the full range of human emotion and not numbing out, but instead finding healthy ways to cope, self-soothe and thrive. Every day I am surviving, but more and more I feel like I am thriving. I am so grateful to this community for helping me through some big challenges and am glad to be able to give back.
If you’re struggling, please remember no matter how alone you feel you are not alone. You always have us. The more active you are here, the more chances you give yourself to find connection with others going through similar struggles.
Sending love

Crossing your fingers for extra luck helped
I called the store back to see if there is any way passed the failed assessment test
They said to call back at 2in the afternoon to talk with the highering manager and while I’m talking to her I’m going to say I’m willing to start out at the very bottom
Wish me luck
I’ll need it

Hope that walk helped! Occupy your hands and mind with a chore, game or activity- the urge wont stay for long. Scroll here if you cant find anything else to do…its a great distraction.
Find your strength to fight it.

I didn’t even start baking yet haha, I came home and immediately went to my couch to have a nap. I just woke up and it’s past 7pm 
I’m not hungry at all and won’t force myself to eat…but now I must get up.
I hope the meditation did help?

Oh you really needed that rest. Hopefully you will be able to sleep tonight.
Yeah- dont force it— i know when im cramping i cant think about food sometimes and then others im devouring everything in sight
Meditation did wonders - i then came to my parents and did some more with my mom- so healing. Feeling better but still caught in the middle of a feud between parents and brother 
…im trying to stay out of it.

Morning check in
Day 464
Ive actually had a good day so far. Woke up at 6am to get my son ready for school. Once he got on the bus i did my morning recovery routine (had forgotten to do it for the past 2 days). Really needed that connection time with my HP. I had a great workout, got ready for the day, did my nails, and now just waiting until 1pm when i can finish my errands. Thankful to my HP today for getting me up and energized and excited about life. The only thing that isnt that great today is the smoothie i made lol so i really cant complain Grateful for you all! Grateful for the warm weather. Grateful for my recovery. I think i need to head over to the gratitude thread haha Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

Checking in on day 227.
Been a long while since my last check in. I know. Hope the community hasn’t banned me yet.
Things have been under control and life’s been looking pretty bright for me.
But next weekend my first summer music festival is coming up. A trigger. But one I’d want to master most. Because I love live music and the vibe of that festival. Yes I used to drink pretty heavily every time I attended. This year is the first time I’m going with the desire to stay sober.
The thing is… my alcoholic monkey has been banging on the bars of it’s cage like crazy convincing me that I won’t be strong enough to say no to that first sip… It’s scaring me. Really scaring me.
I’m only attending the saturday of the festival so it won’t be a full weekend experience. But stil. I don’t want to lose my sobriety.
