@butterflymoonwoman Yummy Tim Hortons. I know we have some here but they just don’t taste the same as the ones in Canada. I’m sorry your sleep was shitty – I do hope you did get to do the online sermon today and your day goes smoothly. Don’t be hard on yourself about your eating – I do know that the DBT is very helpful for you and you will get back on track. @hisharleyquin1318 Way to kick ass Frances and beat those urges. I know this weekend in particular was hard but you did it! Keep fighting the good fight – can’t express how proud of you I am enough. @pattycake Yes – 60 days / 2 months of being sober is awesome! Congrats to you @billy85 WOW – that is fucking amazing news Billy – so thrilled that you will be getting your license back and beyond excited that it opens up so many possibilities for you. Changing careers? That is awesome- what will you venture into next? You sure are doing fantastic with 217 days under your belt and setting yourself up for a successful future. You do deserve all of this and more – stay strong my friend
WOW – so happy that you are surrounding yourself with so much support and keeping such a positive outlook in life. Always lovely to see you and grateful that you are healing and doing so well in your recovery. @galen_82 So proud of you for not stopping and on top of that for pouring shit down the drain. Way to go!!! I totally understand the sulking and childlike tantrums my head would play for me not picking up the drink. Always some excuse or another that would send me down a spiral and never ended well. No good can come from drinking and we just need to keep working on our recovery. Well done heading to Recovery Dharma tonight – remember, that we are right here for you as well. @deelzebub Grateful that you were abel to get yourself to the yoga session – hope that it did help you today. Anxiety is a bitch – I do hope now after the yoga that you are anxiety free and gained a bit of energy. You are doing fantastic with working this ODAAT – keep strong and know we are here if you need to vent or talk @mira_d Girl I totally get being sleep deprived and on edge. I went through that last week and am still recovering from it – was so bloody slap happy that it was ridiculous. Was laughing and crying uncontrollably – it was a sight. I don’t know how you are hanging on while taking care of kids… I am grateful that you have your MIL helping today and hopefully Hubby can help too and you can get some rest. Glad you were able to talk to kids and hope they calm down with the fighting and messes. Sending you resting vibes my friend.
Checking in on Sunday afternoon
263 days free of Alcohol and weed
678 days free of cigarettes
Grateful to be alive today and feeling all my feelings. Grateful to be able to help out when needed. My pain level and symptoms are all manageable today and except for the humidity (which in all reality isn’t the worst) all is lovely today. I do not have any urges -will have a wonderful addiction free day and wish that for all of you too. Sending you all so much love
@Nursewrachett that story is unreal, you’ve really been through it, I’m glad your ok and well done for getting through all that sober @JuliaLuna starting again is hard, I relapsed 2 weeks ago, but you sound determined as hell this time ODAAT @Billy85 that sounds awesome, hope employment opportunities start opening up for you @Deelzebub I hope you start to feel a bit better soon, I know all too well how bad anxiety can get, it is soul destroying for me and leaves me exhausted too, go easy on yourself, it is a massive achievement that you managed yoga, ODAAT @JazzyS@Juli1 thank you so much for the support, sending love right back
I just looked at a photo of me before.covid and my life fell apart in march 2020. (The photo was me in Venice. Feb 2020). And i had been sober for over two years and i look fucking wiped out. I knew work was hard at tje time (even before.covid.ramped it up) but i looked awful
Blessed to have an easier job. Someone is looking out for me
530 day check in good morning friends.
It’s been a full on week for me, lots of personal development on the work front and challenges in home life with my son. But we are staying strong, sober, keeping up with self care and communicating in the house.
Have a great day guys x
Checking in on day 126. Four months passed, just like that. It’s been a bumpy ride the last few weeks. Things have stagnated in work, I feel like my work there is done and I need to move on, I’m looking for a way out. I have become so good at my job that I’m doing everyone elses for them! Stress is at the maximum and my close ones are paying the price. I had to bolt earlier and went for a drive up to the hills alone. I usually stay in control and this was a bit out of character. Little did I know I would get caught in a thunderstorm, which was epic may I add. It felt like a call from God. It did cross my mind that alcohol was the last thing on earth that could help me now. Fuck you booze!! Anyway I got myself two job interviews this week. One has me intrigued and will also allow me to set up a little side hustle. The other I ain’t really interested. But I will have to wait and see how it pans out…
Night check In, exhausted. I was able to get both my essay assignments handed in, but with a bunch of complications . I accidentally erased one of my essays and this was after i fixed all the mistakes it had. Then after writing it in apa style when I transferred it to the submission forum it switched all the mla. Teacher said it was fine, it was because she forgot to add a file attachment. Second essay went in beautiful though. Then I went to the half way house and had some tacos with the guys. Probably should do some reading or studying but I’m really tired. @Qhob13 thanks again for all the help. Hope everyone is having a beautiful evening
You’re welcome! You did all the hard work!! Huge bummer you erased one of your essays and had trouble with submission. (I’m crying inside for you because I know how hard you worked on those all weekend!!) But hoping you are breathing a sigh of relief and get good rest tonight since you got both assignments submitted early! Don’t feel bad if you want to kick up your feet and give your brain a rest. You fucking earned it! Super proud of you!
Glad you got a chance to check in here and found time to go enjoy some tacos with sober friends! Enjoy a relaxing evening! Hope your sober head hits that pillow proud of yourself tonight!!
sorry for the trouble with getting your essay submitted – grateful the other one was submitted flawlessly. Glad you were able to chill with the guys and tacos
good morning friends.
