Only because of Adam Driver who is one of my celebrity crushes xd (on the podium with Tom Hardy and other guy I never remember his name).

@Looking4Support bittersweet news re the 4 children best of luck finding a new extra source of income 
@JazzyS thank you Iām feeling very hopeful that one day in the not too distant future, my nicotine quit will be over, Iām down to just using 2mg lozenges and 1mg mouthspray now, and I only struggle occasionally, I do still get strong vape cravings sometimes, especially when Iām stressed, but I know Iād just be right back where I started, so I remind myself of that fact, and donāt give in. It would be nice to think Iāll be off NRT completely by the end of the year, but the nurses always remind me there is no rush, and I want this quit to be my last, Iāve never tried quitting with NRT before, so I decided to try something different. Iām glad your procedures are over, hoping that you get some answers soon.

I did finally manage to shower on Thursday 
and get to the course on time. It was session 3 of 3, I finished my creation, and also completed a colouring design of a Sugar Skull, which I do love, but Iām aware they are part of the Mexican āDay of the Deadā tradition, so I worry about cultural appropriation. The environment and atmosphere on the course was so peaceful and calming. The students doing the MacramĆ© went into a different room, and the rest of us were drawing/colouring/painting, and in our own āflowā states, there were only brief, quiet bits of conversation, I really enjoyed it.
I somehow re-injured my Achilles again, whilst travelling to the course and back, so sadly I canāt do any walks as it needs R.I.C.E treatment, which I started yesterday evening.
Yesterday I surivived my long-anticipated dentist appointment! Thanks to many of you who posted about your experiences, I was able to not be anxious about it until I was actually in the waiting room. He didnāt use any anaesthetic today so there were some moments of pain, but I got through them, and overall, it wasnāt so bad. He prescribed another 6 months worth of special toothpaste, so Iāll start using that tomorrow. Iāve signed up to their private plan now that they are no longer NHS too. The dentist I see is actually really lovely, it does help the experience.
Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends.

Late night quickie. Work was alright. Bought some allergy meds, which I rarely take. Kind of helped but still sniffly. Went to my friends after work for a while bc sheās been in Kentucky with her brothers. Her dog was hit by a car the day before she left. RIP 
Nico. As usual, stayed too late bc we could talk for hours and hours, but I have to work in the morning. Should be lame which is perfect. Goodnight.

Checking in, Day 16. Beautiful morning (very autumnal here too @Timetochange
My cold is not any worse and I slept well so hopeful it is going to go away soon. I have been trying my hardest to practice self care and work with my body to heal (you know, instead of previous tactics which were to drink until I felt temporarily better, but long term much worse 
)
Football match today, then a free day. Was hoping to go out to dinner tonight with my husband. We still havenāt really celebrated our WA, so it would be nice to check in with each other.
Have a really good day all

Last day of my holidays. I canāt say I feel totally rested, the last week has been too intense for that. I sure have been away from work so I feel ready for that. Tomorrow. Going to enjoy today sober and clean. I hope and expect you will too friends. Love.

Yep, drinkers are either queuing to put liquid in or queuing to let liquid out - alcohol free music appreciation is definitely superior!

Day 1145
Recently I have felt the beginnings of a sense of peace about my self as a person. I have always felt a pressure to put on a front to be the kind of person I want to be, i.e. cool, social, and I often used alcohol to try to manifest those things. It didnāt work, often had the opposite affect, but I think part of me was hoping that when I quit drinking I would become a bit like that. But recently in a few situations I have noticed myself actively acknowledging, oh, actually I prefer to do this quiet thing, or oh, that was awkward, but I am a bit awkward right. It is baby steps, but I hope I can continue to grow in this way.
