961- Feeling safe and grateful today. Did my 3 night party and there really is life after addiction. I have a strength Iā€™ve never had and just enough fear of knowing what life used to be like to keep me sober. Anything else I need is in the friends I have at the fellowship. We donā€™t have to do this alone no matter where we are. UB40 tribute and room booked for Friday, Pink and hotel booked for June.
I was promised a life beyond my wildest dreams when I got sober and itā€™s finally payoff.
Stick with it sober friends, it gets easier and better.
Oh and put a bit of effort in bc life ainā€™t gonna just knock on your door youā€™ve got to go out and grab it while you can.

Nice story about your father. Great that he quit drinking and got his life back! What a pic of him when he competed! I can see why he was number one! Youā€™ve done so much to help both of them. Thanks for sharing your story. @zzz

1002 days no alcohol.
467 days no cocaine.
89 days no vape.

Checking in for yesterday, fell asleep before hitting replyā€¦

I invested in a long handled brush and dustpan, it arrived today, and itā€™s been a long time coming, for so long now Iā€™ve had to accept that any non-carpet floors will be a mess, but not anymore, it didnā€™t take long before the kitchen and bathroom were both swept, and the difference is amazing, and I can do this regularly now, so it will be a gift that keeps on giving. I also invested in a speed mod recently, that I havenā€™t taken out of the box yet. I will be setting it up tomorrow and mopping the kitchen and bathroom floors. Other than that, all thatā€™s left to do is cleaning the kitchen sink and worktops, and doing the washing up, and hoovering the rest of the floors, then, weā€™ll be inspection ready! Iā€™m so glad Iā€™ve been able to break the tasks up over a few days, so Iā€™m not up all night doing them for the inspection the next morning like usual. :raised_hands:t2:

I am really really struggling with my eating disorder at the moment. Itā€™s got to the point of suicidal ideation. I have to keep thinking of my cats, thatā€™s what usually stops me. Maybe Iā€™ll have a breakthrough soon. :crossed_fingers:t2:

TW SH and sence of life

Day 3

No cravings.

But my physical and mental status is just meh
Had tears in my eyes already in office, escaped to the bathroom and calmed down a bit.
This job is just destroying me.
Having a job interview tomorrow, I will manage it professionally, but I am so insecure and full of self-doubt in the inside. This morning I just had no hope and asked me deep questions why I am here in this world. Ahhh I know, itā€™s not focused on the positive. But I need to spit it out. Even had reflex of SH yesterday. My head is overfilled with solutions and ways, thatā€™s not the pointā€¦ Itā€™s even overwhelming sometimes. Tons of to-dos and self management.

Will get better soon, I am sure.

Love :panda_face:

Hold in there Juli, :people_hugging:
Things will make more sense and become clearer for you.
Yesterday I spent all day on my bed anxious so bad I couldnā€™t move. Makes me think as well as staying sober I need to do more for my anxiety as that was a big reason I drank.

Iā€™m thinking of you and stay strong I believe in you :gem:
