Who needs more from life than having good sleep, some good friends, good food, a good book and watching a fawn having a drink?
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from the Hill Country.
@Hidden it’s good to have you back in this community friend. We can do this together. ODAAT and all that.

I’m extremely depressed today. My son keeps coming through to the bedroom to check on me but I’m just feeling so awful. I tried exercising but it just made me gag. I just want to give in to it today.

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way Delia. I feel you don’t really want to give in or you wouldn’t be here. Please hang in there. We’re in this together friend. You’re not alone.

Day 70
All good here. Although I dreamt of drinking last night. It was very vivid. Drinking a glass of white and already thinking about another bottle. In my dream I couldn’t understand how it had happened & then thought f-ck it. Where’s that attitude come from?!
I guess we never know if it means anything. Maybe just my brain still unpacking stuff? It took me by surprise though. It wasn’t a good feeling, even waking up and realising it was a dream.
Anyway, still here & sober X

Oh, friend. I’m sorry today is hard. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself today, even if that is to stay in bed. Try to stay hydrated. Know we are here for you.

Good morning! It’s day 98!!! Found a new love for sobriety.
While on coke I would do it before bed and it would take hours to get to sleep and I’d be groggy as hell the next morning. The devil tempted me last night and I turned it down. Yes my friend offered but understood and respected my decision. She put it away and we worked on wedding decor instead. I calmed her down and she was finally getting stuff done. Wedding in 2 weeks.

Thank you @JazzyS! 
I’m still here and still on my sobriety journey. It has been a bumpy road but I have a sponsor who I stay close to and keep going to meetings. It’s a very stressful uncertain time but I’m trying to focus on the things i can control! Appreciate the support and this community

So I’m home alone this week, SO has travelled to holiday with family. I had planned a lot of self work this week with the space to be alone. I want to clear through some stuff, go to the gym, get done chores done that linger on and also attend a few online meetings.
It’s always amazing how much longer everything takes when you are by yourself 
no one to share the washing up lol.
But, I’ve done myself a nice veggie lasagne warm up and salad for lunch. Also done a the veggies shop for the week and a few chores so far. After work, I plan to walk to the gym to just put half hour in, listening to a podcast. Have a stir fry planned for tea with Turkey breast and broccoli.
Early night then after some of the current jigsaw that’s taunting me. I don’t think I could do all this so easily this time last week. Thank goodness for my seven days free.

Day 117. Have not checked in, in a while. Weekend went great with my girls, but it was so fast. After being with them I just feel so sad and hate what I’m doing and where I’m at, I want to be home with them. I know it’s not the best choice but it’s how I feel. I just feel like I’m away from any connection, I have not gone to the gym, don’t really talk to anyone and just been focused on school, but I don’t even talk to anyone from there. It makes me feel lonely, idk I suppose the cold weather today isn’t helping with my mood. But I will pick my spirit up and put in the work. I also sold my iPad yesterday, part of me regretted that, but I also am glad bc I needed the money. I got some new shoes and a new hoodie and got autumn a early Christmas present so I can be ahead of the game lol. Anyways yeah time to get my shit together and carry on, have group at 10 so there’s some connection. Much love everyone

Day 5
Good morning friends. Can’t believe I’ve made it to day 5, yesterday was tough, but I pushed through 
.
I work as a Legal Assistant in a business law firm and today I’m helping a director on a big presentation. It’s a bit complicated and there are some errors I don’t know how to fix (formatting stuff). It usually drives me crazy but I have to just accept I’m not perfect.
Woke up at 5 am and did some stretching, made breakfast, packed a good lunch for my daughter and now I’m going to start getting ready. It feels good to get up on time and not feel gross.
Hope everyone has a great day.
