Checking in Day 79
Back home from my weekend away. I’m tired and didn’t sleep well while away. Not sure why. I usually sleep well at my friends house.
I had a strange experience once home. A former friend who lives in the same complex as me didn’t realize I was home. She has a key to my house and while I was sitting on my couch she attempted to let herself in. Fortunately, my door was double locked from the inside. The entire experience was weird and strange. She had a large garbage bag with her so I don’t know if she was planning on stealing something or not. The whole thing. I feel unsafe and don’t trust that she hasn’t made a copy of my key. First stop in the morning is to the leasing office to ask to have my locks changed.

Grateful you had the door double locked as well. That is a bit weird.
Yes - definitely get the locks changed out tomorrow. Fingers crossed that they can do so first thing for your ease of mind.
Hopefully you will get a good nights sleep tonight!

Day 339
That was a rough and short night again. Yesterday evening my belly started to hurt and I was bound to my toilet 
I read that some people have problems with that after Covid. Yeah hey body, enough now! Calm down and let me live please, yes?
Cake and date sweets are with me, I’m currently waiting for my train at the main station and watch some people 
@Mindofsobermike did you try reading while you walk? For some people it’s helpful to do that because they can process information better when they’re moving. Give it a try 
Ok, time to get a good place in front of the train now.
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

I’m fine Camden. I was a bit shaky the day I witnessed it, but that was it.
Just read your compassionate letter, it was a good read. I think you have to put it somewhere to read it more often. Give it a nice frame and put it on your wall.
So sweet and incouraging.

I’m sitting here, after midnight, misting water on my skin to cool off bc it is so humid rn there’s no way I could get in bed 
Hoping it will drop a degree or two in the next half hour 
Today was a good day off. A little lazy in the am, but after lunch we made it to the pool. It was packed. A day off work for most as well as the day before school starts. My friend, and old boss, was there with her kids. They were in swim lessons with my daughter so it was nice she had swim mates. I floated around catching up with my friend. We used to party together years ago, but she’s quit drinking now as well. It’s nice to see so many people in my life choosing this path.
After hours of swimming we went to my parents for dinner. It was just us, and pretty quick, but nice. Something upset my stomach though. I haven’t had heartburn in months. Idk. Probably the raw onions.
We went thru our school supplies and we’re only missing one thing I’ll have to grab in the am. I’d better start winding down so I can get some sleep. It’s gotten cooler already 
Goodnight

Can I offer a small little something. Fingers crossed is leaving it to chance. If your hoping this is your time and not committing to your time you will get caught out eventually. Thinking that cold beer would go down nice will break through at some stage. Thinking that ice cold beer will steal your weekend is the approach I take.
People in glass houses and all that. I’ve ignored many phone calls from family when I was in one so I’m not speaking as an expert, just offering a little tip that I use when temptation creeps in.

That was a short one. I’m on my way to the Dr and then back home, I’m feeling so sick 
The assistant on the phone said that its possibly such a post Covid thing. Awesome. What a birthday is this 
And the worst: I couldn’t even have one bite of my sweets or the cake Sigh…

Happy birthday!! Although it sounds like a less than happy one so far. Really hope you recover quickly and can eat some cake soon.
