Checking in Wednesday evening
175 days weed and alcohol free
590 days cigarette free
Been a decent day. I was productive! Iā€™ve been feeling a bit off since I came home a few hours ago (in my body but not all here)-- super cold and my head / eyes are hurting. Iā€™m tired but not able to sleep - i feel like iā€™m spinning (not the drunk spin but close). It could be that iā€™m getting sick with all the damn weather changes and working with lack of sleep. :woman_shrugging: oh well - tomorrow is busy day.
have a lovely rest of your Wednesday - sending much love :heart:

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

My employer (4000 employees) throws a party tonight. I will be attending, hoping to meet some of my colleagues from 20 years ago. Last time I attended such an event i was doing my utmost to ingest as much free booze as I could, like many did. That was about 15 years ago. Times have changed for the better. Never again. Hoping they have some good ginger drinks available.
But work first X. For me that is, Luna will have a nap.


@KevinesKay Nice one friend. Congrats.
@Amy30 5 months already! Going places!

Day 257

The headache didnā€™t go away, I woke up several times this night from it. Took meds and now itā€™s almost gone. But I feel like I ran a marathon.
I hope the pain stays this little for some hours so that I can work. I canā€™t go home early again today.

Going to get me something nice and sweet from the bakery on my way and then rock the day as good as I can :+1:

Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong :kissing_heart::muscle:

Congrats! Wow what a twist!

Stopped in the middle of the action. That sounds like a lot of determination! :100:

What I can add is that is still shows that You still have a lot of ( - ) negative pole informational weight

:heavy_minus_sign: :balance_scale:

ā€¦ and it brings us down. It is so easy and conformable when you just have no need and no of those irritating toughts or that never ending inner battle that is named ā€œTo Use Or Not to Useā€ :repeat: ā€¦ That all nonsense in the head is already worth quitting.

I feel calm lately and have no toughts about using / only toughts about alcohol is on how bad it is and how unnatural it is for us to use it. All those videos and podcast all that information is spinning in my head, while I feel lifted, bright and clear.

Althoughā€¦

Although, yesterday had made a joke about beer (foolish joke) and thats already a red flag. This is how it works

  • indeed - [ behind the scenes ].

:rotating_light:

I know I got to work more on that oposite pole now ( + )

Morning all, checking in on Day 31. Woke up about 40 minutes ago and only just managed to sit up in bed :rofl: Hopefully the shower wakes me up a bit. Busy day at work. Feel like I spend my mornings stressing about what to wear in this heat (my office is always 30Ā°c plus in this heat). I donā€™t remember it being consistently hot for long periods like this years agoā€¦

I hope you all have a good day. I promised myself I would prioritise check in but that means my morning ramblings, sorry :grin:

17 days being clean from self-harm.

Morning check in.

I had very strange dream, but in a good way. There were interesting places, for example swimming gym or candy store full of fine candies. It was fun and cool.
Today I have dentist. Iā€™m pretty much worried ans anxious, because that dentist is always commenting my teeth. ā€œAre you even trying to get better with these ugly teeth?ā€ ā€œWhat the hell is this? Do you think someone can love you with these teeth?ā€ā€¦ :frowning: I hate it. Especially where I just canā€™t explain why I have them like that, because I know they will not care (for sure: I have a bit yellowish teeth with some part of destroyed due to my bulimia. I a lot purged some time, which affected my teeth. Iā€™m taking care of my teeth a lot.)
But with me will be my dad, so I hope itā€™s gonna be fine (I asked him if he can be with me when I will have dentist).
Otherwise, this day Iā€™m as well not in school, so I have time to make another fine breakfast. I started a lot like making breakfasts! Tho I will do little breakfast due to my little problem to eat full meal.

I hope everyone are okay. :pray:t2::sparkling_heart:

Thanks for this perspectiveā€¦
This might be a thingā€¦
I have some quit lit at home and also some podcasts I like. But I like more silent podcasts. Something scientifical might be good.

Thanks for watching out for me on my way!

Just found this one:

#Day 1730 :walking_woman:
Busy and tired, and upcoming weekend will be filled too. Filled with good stuff but filled anyway.
Saturday my mother in law has her 80 year birthday party. A bit double feelings because a few days ago was my momā€™s birthday as well but she died 18 years ago.
Sunday we are going to a concert of BeyoncĆ©. Iā€™m not a big fan, but could easily get those tickets and decided: why not? :sunglasses:
But first things first: work!


And look how my Mango seed is sprouting, so cool! :green_heart:
Have a good day all! :raising_hand_woman:

That is absolutely not OK for the dentist to talk to you like that. They sound completely incompetent at their job. Glad you will have your Dad with you, hopefully that stops the usual comments. Have a good day.

Second check in, making up for the past week! I am having a bonus moment. You know, one of those little gifts life gives you every now and then. I am offsite with work today but it is a later start so have gained some time between school drop off and work. I am sitting in a coffee shop enjoying the peace of the morning :blush: I even got to havr a wander around the shops.

Love the mango seed updates @SoberWalker
