Hi @JazzyS I took all my meds and supplements including the vitamin D today. I got a coffee while I was out which is unheard of for me but I quite enjoyed it. I felt better for having been out and made us a nice dinner. It’s coming up to bedtime now and I’ve booked an earlier yoga class tomorrow to see if that helps with these heavy morning emotions.

@JennyH @Bomdhil @JazzyS thank you all, it’s less painful, but still hurts to walk or stretch 🩵

1147 days no alcohol.
612 days no cocaine.
127 days no vape.

I have spent the weekend watching the new season of one of my favourite tv shows, whilst resting my leg on ice. I’m hoping it will be okay for a long walk around my city’s country park tomorrow.

I’m taking my friend with me, who’s always in and out of prison, because I know he enjoys being near water too. I can’t trust him when he asks if we can meet ‘for coffee’ in the city centre, because I know from experience he just acts moody until we end up in a pub and I watch him get drunk. I set a firm boundary with that the last time he got out of prison, and I don’t hear from him much since. I am pleased to hear he is finally engaging with addiction services, and that he recently went sober for 8 days, so this should be nice for us both. I am going to buy some Swan and Duck food, that’s also suitable for Geese, to feed the water birds.

I hope you’ve all had wonderful sober weekends. :blush:

I feel so humbled and grateful for this new life of sobriety. It has been a long, painful and arduous journey…but honestly…I would do it again to get me where I’m at today. I praise God who by His grace, gave me another opportunity at this precious life…and live to the potential He created in me so long ago; which now is finally being developed, exposed and refined…always giving Him all the glory! My life is, and always will be, a reflection of His work in me…as best as I can…

My family here has been so supportive of me, and I thank each and every one who :heart: my posts, responds to my posts and takes the time to read my posts. It means so much to me…the acknowledgment, the understanding, the compassion and love y’all generously give is beyond words…so thank you :pray:t3:
