Superwoman!
You are doing great!
Communicating with the management is a real strong move, if it helps or not - you raised your voice! For you AND your colleagues. 
Watch out on the market… There is a big change for employees these days, as people are soo rar. But you already know that… It is only important that everyone makes demands now. Revolution. 
And in the meantime - BREATHE 
I can so much realte as I just agreed a quitting contract in my toxic job!

Evening checkin 
Back sober at clean home!
Reflection about possible lasting health issues still very present and doing it’s work.
Research about future possibilities, further education and so on is lifting me up. Feeling some shift in mindset.
Much love

Hello everyone. I’m currently celebrating day 297!
This morning I replaced another tire on my wife’s car. Shame on me for not keeping up with this. And waiting until a disaster strikes before I take care of a problem. These tires should have been replaced months ago.
My wife was so impressed on how easily I did it yesterday, that she recommended me recording it. So I did this time. I posted a YouTube video teaching others how I do it.
I mowed some of my backyard today which was 2 feet high. And now I’m taking a lunch break at Burger King before I work Doordash. Have a wonderful sober Monday everyone!

Checking in sober. Day 15
Just trying to get through the day. Exhausted. Anxiety is somewhat bad. At least finished with work for the day. Need to find something for dinner.

Good morning friends 
489 days sober, working at home today. I’m going to try take some breaks to walk today as the sun is finally shining!
I started taking a medication for depression about 2 months ago. And my depression has packed up and left which is amazing, but it took a bit of my motivation with it. I was one of those people that needed to exercise to stay sane, I was an absolute mess if I didn’t go to the gym. I relied on it to give me the tiny mood boost. Now my brain is much more relaxed and I’m feeling a lot happier, I’m struggling with that drive to get my exercise routine back. It’s like the medication has given me a little bit of a case of the fuck it’s haha. Not in a bad way, like fuck it let’s drink. Just like, fuck it, take a stroll instead. Fuck it, enjoy some time reading, sleep in. So I’m struggling to get myself back into my routine again. Other than that, all is well. Have a great day guys x

I had a relapse dream today, disturbing.
Some misunderstandings lead me to feel miserable but I know is a trap. I am tempted to play the victim and not to solve the problems

they didn’t even do the pap smear. I went to this doc 3 months expecting an exam, they told me I don’t need it, but said to come back when I turned 21. I’m back and the said I don’t need one til 24. glad I don’t have to do it but I’ve been anxious about it for a week for no reason

@chosen2001 Well done on your 60 days of sobriety! Grateful for all your support and motivation in your life – keep stacking on the days.
@sadmemequeen So glad you had a great time at the concert. I do hope everything went well with your appointment. I do hope that you are able to get your psychiatrists situation sorted out. Having such anxiety ridden issues can’t be healthy. Hoping that you are able to get your meds changed soon so that you can feel relief with your stomach pains. Just saw your update – I’m sorry that your doctor did not do a pap today. Most start at 21 – not sure why yours is waiting till 24? I know it can be nerve wrecking but the exam is really not so bad. Are you able to find out why your doc is waiting so long to do the exam?
@hisharleyquinn1318 I’m sorry I misunderstood – sending much love and comfort for Wednesday. Do know we will be right here for you. Bleaching your hair – love new looks – hope it had a positive uplifting effect.
So happy for you Rosa – glad your heavy feelings have lifted. The landscape / garden journal sounds very therapeutic – looking forward to seeing the plans come to fruition.
Love this Julia – keep up the amazing work!
@brokenwolf Ooh that is so lovely and exciting! Thanks for sharing the joy!
@alycia YEAH that the depression went packing! That is awesome…sending you energy to get your routine back on track
@Bomdhil Those are awesome hobbies to keep you distracted. I do hope that you are able to work on these to help you stay motivated. I am sorry about your dream – I know how disturbing those can be. Glad that you can see this for the trap that it is. Keep doing all your recovery routines and stay strong my friend – you can stay on the sobriety track
@scorpn Hey Renee – thank you for checking in. How are you doing with your homework – we are here if you need to talk. Much love my friend.
@starlight14 How did the weekend go? Hope you are recovered from your head cold and the overnight stay went well with your daughter.

Been a very unactive day today - not doing well. I am trying to stay positive and doing my breathing exercises. I am hoping for an early night and a brighter day tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a wonderful addiction free day - sending much love

my doc said as long as I’m not sexually active it can wait until 24

that’s weird reasoning - Pap smears are performed to screen for abnormal cells, cervical cancer and any abnormalities in the cervix. Pap smears are a necessary screening for patients whether they are sexually active or not.
However, getting a Pap smear at 21 is still important because it can detect abnormal cells on the cervix before they turn into cancer. Cervical cancer is highly preventable and treatable if caught early, and Pap smears are the best way to detect early signs of cervical cancer.
I’m not trying to push you into getting it but just wanted to give you the information - maybe talk to your doctor about it further.
