@Mno Congrats on the contact work. 
@Becsta doing awesome! I do hope you figure out a way to nap during the day ā donāt want you to burn out at this pace. I never could nap and still not the best at it but I do try and force myself to laydown and close my eyes ā at least the body gets some rest (if I fall asleep then bonus)
@Lea08 so glad that you are reconnected as well. So happy to hear the positivity in your life from being sober. I am thrilled that you are getting this time to spend and enjoy with your kids and make some amazing memories
@HappyDays Congrats on your 20 days!!!
@Alycia I hear you that it totally sucks when you are doing everything right and you still donāt feel ārightā. Donāt look at going back on the anti-depressants as a bad thing ā its just an aid at this moment to get you through. You have been off of them for 2 years and will be again soon. I can understand wanting to drink cause why not ā nothing seems to be working ā this is so wrong (you may not see all the changes but you are healing in your 419 days of sobriety) Keep checking in, and I do hope the meds help you get out of your funk. We are here for you.
@CATMANCAM Thank you! My goodness my friend ā that addict demon is really digging in deep. Its awful that you are dealing with all that noise when you are trying to find peace. I do know that my brothers next door neighbors live on the stairs (constantly running up and down) It doesnāt seem to bother anyone but me ā go figure. I couldnāt even imagine being around the noise you are describing. Good on you for talking yourself out of the urges. It really is a matter of consciously talking to ourselves and sometimes making deals with ourselves. You are doing great with the bingeing too. Canāt go from 0 to 60 too quickly so baby steps my friend ā you are really putting in the work and it shows.
@Sabrina80 Love the number! You are cracking me up and I know you are feeling like shit ā hope it gets better very soon. Let me know if you get a hold of the manager. Enjoy the bread ā your body needs it. Hmmm? A man huh? Be cautious but donāt be closed off ā its always the inside that counts most. Have a fabulous day.
@ArtMama Well done on the 90 days!!!
@Noshame It was a nice feeling knowing that I did have a community in my old neighborhood (lived in there for 18ish years) I am hoping that something does come along for you too ā I see all the effort you are putting in ā keeping fingers crossed that something pans out.
Checking in on Tuesday morning
I am frustrated today ā started off well ā woke up at 5:30, got my first saliva vial completed. Tidied up and got my coffee ready. Stopped by my parents on my way for morning walk. Got into a fight with mom (turned the morning to shit). Luckily didnāt have money on me so couldnāt buy cigs to calm down. Did go for my walk but then Ā½ way realized I had a delivery to make that Iād apparently forgotten about ā rushed home to get that done. Late on eating breakfast which I need to eat in time to give myself 2 hours of no eating / drinking before filling next vial. Have 4 total today so itās gonna be fun ā Iām on my way to get some baking done and hopefully the mediations Iāve been doing all day will help raise my mood. Already feeling more at peace. Have a blessed sober day everyone.

Day 129
Today Iāve been having a relatively lazy one butā¦ yeah. It is what it is. Iām really struggling to function and the heat isnāt helping. And my AirBnB host didnāt leave the air-con remote. I understand him wanting to save money. I completely understand how energy prices have gone through the roof. But FFS, Iām not his cousin Carol heās allowing to stay in the apartment as a favour. Surely the cost of renting should include the use of amenities???
Rant over.

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

One side effect of insomnia - I managed to catch this pretty number 
It looks like a lot of days - truth is itās 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. Itās 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 youāre 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 Iām talking to her Iām going to say Iām willing to start out at the very bottom
Wish me luck
Iāll need it
