Especially you are the question monster and you should note “sometimes not everything is as you expect it” 
No gear! It’s the lifesaver training.
We don’t have gear in emergency case.
I made the final exam and am certified now.
But I will go on with weekly training and am part of the team now.
Diving is for example:
- 4,7 m deep and bringing 10 pound ring up,
some head forward, some feet forward, in specified time but with control and technique - 25 m length, same
Next level is:
- 4,7 m deep with clothes and bringing up 2 10 pound rings
- 30 m length and bringing up 8 toys on the way
So on

Checkin in sober
No urge to booze!
Lot of work, lot of training, full freeways this week… Will rest this evening and do some selfcare. That’s the effort.
Love

Wow, that’s impressive!
I think I’ve to further evolve my reading and questioning skills.
Sorry for the 2 same questions. The forum is really laggy today and didn’t show my edit. So I thought it was lost.

I will when we actually have keys in hand! I’m a bit superstitious and don’t want to count on anything before it is finalized.

I’m so relieved that the tests aren’t showing up with anything and that the elevated kidney / liver numbers are not of concern - you can work on getting those down 
My dads kidney’s were failing about 4 years back and now are in great shape but it did take a strict diet and a lot of work. I do know that sometimes good test results aren’t always welcome as it seems that they can’t figure out what the issue is – I do hope that you will get help for the underlying issue.
Fingers crossed that the stress test also comes back with a green light as exercise is great for releasing tension, curing boredom and increasing endorphins. Thanks for the update my friend - hope you have a wonderful day!!! We will definitely get through this ODAAT

I can relate to this a lot. I’d even say I have had some level of agoraphobia in the past where I couldn’t leave the house by myself. But that has gone away a long time ago with some effort. I have taken day trips by myself and that has been so good for me! I think it’s important to be comfortable doing things like this alone, and as women it can be extra challenging. Maybe not for all women obviously but it is a factor for me I think. I can’t wait to hear about your trip to the museum!

Sending hugs these funks can be tough, come out of nowhere, no end date in sight, but reaching out is a great tool. I’m glad you came here to post. Maybe participating more could help you feel connected during this difficult time.

Thank you EVERYONE who reached out after my 2am ramble. I’ve gained hope and insight from all of you 
Sorry I can’t name everyone, that’s what overwhelmed me from this thread before.
I think at day 79 I’m not ready to give up sugar, I need to make sure it’s not the only thing I eat. When I drank, it was 12 to 16 oz of vodka a night, more on weekends, and during my drinking, I rarely ate. So eating sugar and trying new things even if not that healthy, was keeping me calm.
I have wondered if I need to tweak my meds, my Dr. Is on maternity leave, so for now I will wait.
And I WANT to get out of my comfort zone, I don’t want to just accept my depression or just accept my chronic illness that hurts my mobility, I want to live! I quit decades of heavy drinking, time I will never get back, so I want to move forward.
I did take a personal day today, and probably will tomorrow, TG I have the days and my boss is cool. Not so long ago, I took days off to buy a 1.75 as early as 8am and drank til I blacked out.
Because of all of you, I’m here, still sober, and refuse to beat myself up that I ate a glazed croissant donut before I came here. I’m not banning sugar, do need to curb the shopping tho. I have enough, and I’m grateful.
