Evening Check In
Day 538
Day went okay overall. My husband bought me a self help book for my eating disorder and it will arrive wed! I cant wait. I was going to get it myself on Thursday (payday) but he bought it today for me 
Hope it helps! It follows the DBT program, which i have taken before many years ago. So i hope this will also be a good refresher in that sense too. Work went well. But i was given a ton of paperwork to manage. Not that i mind. Makes the time go by quicker.
Recovery wise - I am feeling good and strong in my recovery. Todays morning prayer and reflection was incredible and it really helped to push any negativity aside.
Health wise - I did well with my eating for the first half of the day. But then ate some high calorie snacks from Tim Hortons that i picked up on the way home. Will be having a light supper tonight anyway so hopefully that makes up for it. I was feeling emotional when i overate on those high calorie items which isnt the right reason for me to eat. I dont like to use food to cope with my emotions. I am a work in progress tho. I am trying ODAAT
Hope everyone is managing okay today. Love to all

Glad you all had a great trip Dilia and made it home safely. Sorry about the flooding – hopefully maintenance can take care of the issue early on Monday.
Grateful that your sobriety is safe. Sorry you are going through these feelings. Are you able to discuss with your psychiatrist and or your doctor on Monday to see if they can help in some way? Sending you comfort my friend – I do hope you find ease of mind and body soon.
@kipper This community is great for communicating with others that are in the same boat or have gone through a similar situation. I do know that those around me do not understand the extent of my struggle (no one can understand a situation or feeling that they have not been in themselves). Glad that you are here with us and we can travel this journey together. Hope you did have a fun creative evening.
@juli1 I do hope that you are doing much better and starting off your Sunday positively. You deserve better my friend! Grateful that you are doing so well on your 1 week milestone!
@catmancam Glad that you made it to your drumming session – I do hope that they will have a winter session for you. Well done on the progress you’ve made – 40 mins of coloring is amazing my friend.
@bomdhil WOW Thomas – starting a pilgrimage! That is so cool my friend. I know you can stay addiction free. If you are worried – can you take pics of messages that have helped you stay the course and print out so you have with you if urges arise (I’m assuming you will not be able to have electronics with you during your pilgrimage).
@mali Oh Amalia I am so very sorry for all that you are going through – sorry for the loss of your dear friend. Grateful that you have found your way back to sobriety and are working hard to protect it. Luckily being in the detox clinic for another week will help you through the initial bit and then maybe picking up hobbies or going to meetings will be helpful. By staying vigilant you will be able to get to and surpass the 9 months. Glad you are here – hope to see you around. This is a nasty disease that we are not able to cure alone.
@hisharleyquinn1318 Hugs my friend for making it through and becoming stronger. Glad to hear that you are feeling better.
Checking in on Saturday evening
227 days free of weed and alcohol
642 days free of cigarette
I succeeded in keeping busy and keeping a positive attitude today. Was able to get my 10 k steps in - no seated yoga but did a few self-care things. Did have a lot of fun working with Eric on our meme wars - beating our record (14 days to get 2500 memes). Hoping everyone has a wonderful addiction free day / night - sending much love

It’s raining cats and dogs but I got to go out there and work. At least there’s 60% extra pay for working Sundays. And I’m sober and clean. As I hope you all are. Good to see you @mali/ Have as good a days as you can all. Love.
Pic is not mine, Canal Pride yesterday. I was working so I missed it. Next year

Just doing a night check in. I had a really good day, went hit the gym kept it light. Then went to Walmart and bought a wireless mouse for my iPad and keyboard, it’s pretty cool. Then stopped to twin oaks and hung out and had dinner with the guys, no keyboard showed up but thats ok bc I got see my friends. One of the guys really shocked me, he walked up to me and said here take this and dont worry about it. Well he ended up giving me 100 dollars, which I’m so grateful for but I didn’t want to take. I told him I couldn’t accept it but he wouldn’t take it back. I told him will plan a tattoo then and he said deal. All together I biked about 20 miles today which felt nice. Definitely exhausting lol. I do gotta figure out how to cancel a credit card I accidentally got, I was just seeing if they would approve me and it went past that and said your approved here’s a 300 dollar limited and I couldn’t take it back. I’m not going to use it bc I don’t have money to pay the fee. So idk canceling it will probably affect me in a negative way too. But anyways I’m home relaxing much love everyone.

Day 8
I made it to a new sober morning.
I made it through such a disappointing situation… Still feeling mad about it.
Have to get this situation clear.
No, I have to stop contact as this is everything that helps if it’s toxic. I won’t get answers.
Wonderful sober Sunday everyone

Checking in as I’m headed to bed. Spent the day at a friend’s house enjoying the pool. She is someone that I typically drink with. I’ve seen her several times since I stopped drinking but today was the first day that I told her I’m not drinking at all ever again. She was open and supportive. It was much easier than I thought it would be.
Tomorrow, more purging and organizing.

Thank you so much ladies 
@Alisa @Juli1 @JazzyS
I wouldn’t be here without y’all! I am so grateful and thankful for this place because I’ve met some really great friends here.
Day 300 (in 40 minutes it’s official)
I slept last night! I woke up a few times, but went back to bed each time until I had 6+ hours! And then my little one cuddled up with me and brought a blanket to the couch and we laid together for another hour 
I went to work and had a nice calm shift.
I’ve been trying to stay awake to see the day turn to 300 officially, but I am tired 
so I may have to just wait until tomorrow.
Love y’all my sober fam good night

Day 43 !!!
Wow, feel ok. Quite happy with alcohol free beers, and water.
Had a quiet day yesterday , aiming for something similar today. Planning our holiday in September and will work on a robust plan for there, but no plan or a good plan, no excuses, no alcohol. I know all the excuses I have come up with before. May make a tuna potato salad for lunch. Not feeling v hungry at the moment

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober day 25.
So glad to be back home.
And I feel so comfortable knowing what I really want to do. And how I want my life to be.
It’s raining, I’m going to keep on renovating the bedroom. Baking allergy friendly,sugar free chocolate brownies or Maybe vanilla cake with my 10 y/o
I’m feeling a little sad that summer is over. But I guess there’s still maybe 2-2,5 months with what they are claiming to be amazing sunny weather to come.
And I’m planning a beach weekend at my aunt’s within two weeks.
Looking forward to that.
Otherwise, nothing to report 
Wishing y’all a great Sunday.

I glad to share with you that I am next to one year sober. You are part of this.
I am happy, mainly, because I have been 24 hours sober. That is the most important point
Kind regards.

Morning,
Checking in on day 504. The weather is absolutely awful here in England, been raining for days and days and days, maybe weeks!
Feeling strong in my sobriety at the moment, I feel relieved that I don’t drink not upset that I can’t. Been busy with work and stuff and we’re having some work done on the house which is causing mess everywhere but it’s nearly finished and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
My plan today is to do my self assessment tax return. Need a quiet space to do it and a couple of hours and bags of enthusiasm.
Had a little lie in today, til 9am, doesn’t happen very ofter was nice.
Have a great day x
