Checking in Day 724 
Hi everyone 
Congratulations to all those hitting milestones 
So many of you 
Late dinner tonight 
Had a late nap so everything is just happening a little later. But itās chilled and calm and Iām enjoying the moment.
Pick up keys to temp accommodation on Tuesday. Itās been a long hard wait. I will be more optimistic once I have the keys in hand.
Starting to feel myself learning who I am again.
Had alot on my plate all at the same time and I hope ā¦ I feelā¦ I am learning about myself and doing that extra bit of growing up I guess I needed.
Will check in daily to keep connected.
I do read alot just slowed down writing which I am wanting to be more active again.

Evening check in, just hit my 10 day milestone 
It was a busy day, but felt like I really got to spend some good time with the kids. Just had a lovely bath (bath season is upon us again). The weekend has flown by but trying to make the most of this last hour before bed. I am hungry and trying to resist snacking. I think I went to bed hungry last night too, obviously not eating enough at dinner time. Will try another glass of water instead!
Have a good rest of the evening all (or day to those ahead of me!)

Day Check In
Day 588
Work has been good. Another laid back, fairly quiet day here. I am almost done and then will be heading home. I managed to pray and also get an online sermon in which was really good. Grateful that hubby is cooking tonight so that I can rest before my awake overnight shift with my son. Tomorrow he has school so i can rest then, although I have plans made for tomorrow. I want to go shopping and spend that $$ my hunny gave me. Maybe grab a Starbucks coffee and then check out some clothing shops or something. I already bought my next virtual Conqueror Challenge - New York. And i want to exercise tomorrow to start that. So hopefully Im not too tired.
Hope everyone is doing well this fine Sunday

Day 384. I can imagine it a last year at this time.
I happy about how I have changedā¦so my wife, but she also says man whom
she has married to has changed a lot and it could be good of bad.
No matter, the most important thing is I have changed and I am sober. I am fine and happy, the rest of things will be fixed in their own way. I have learnt to take care of myself.
Kind regards.

1140 days no alcohol.
605 days no cocaine.
120 days no vape.
And 4 days have passed this timeā¦
Thursday I attended an in-person course in the morning, session 2 of 3 called āCreativity for Wellbeingā. I made a face out of air-drying clay, it looked a bit like Pingu. 
I will paint it in the final session next Thursday. I also made a MacramƩ keyring. Going to learn how to do a plant-pot hanger next week. Time stood still, it was really good to be creative, it has been a long time since I did anything other than colouring.
Friday was super stressful, making lots of phonecalls backwards and forwards between my gp surgery and pharmacy, and 2 drives to my honetown and back to collect the meds I needed. It is getting very frustrating how my doctors and nurses keep getting things wrong, and not doing what my specialists are telling them. It took up my whole day, and I was reallly looking forward to some needed down time.
Friday night I binged some sugary stuff so I slept late yesterday, and then napped again until mid-afternoon after Iād taken in a delivery, fed the cats, and taken my morning meds. Although later in the day than usual, I managed to do my morning routine, one walk, and unpack the big pet supplies delivery.
Today I went to Cambridge for a meet-up with Safe Soulmates, it was nice to see people again, that I met the first time I went.
I hope youāve all had wonderful sober weekends.

Tell that bratty neighbor to eff off or Iāll come over to do it for you. I think that would be quite the plane ride for this midwestern US gal but Iād like to. Harassment and bullying are two things I feel very strongly about.
Iām glad you are moving out of your current situation. I hope it goes peacefully. Sending hugs.

This made me laugh! It would be quite the plane ride, but totally worth it for the opportunity to swear at a brat. Lol
Sober me is very conflict-adverse. It might take a while to find my voice. So far, Iāve been letting a lot of wankers walk all over me.

That is totally fair. Iāve been conflict averse all my life and I think it is only with sobriety that Iām finding my voice.
Iāll let him live, I guess. Good riddance.

Evening Check In
Day 588
Came home from work to a beautiful meal made by hubby. Grateful for that because I was so hungry and just needed something home cooked.
But then I started watching a TV series that triggered some comparison btwn me and the other woman on TV. Had to stop watching it even though its a good series. I struggle with acceptance (the weight gain from being clean and sober) and with just basically how I look. Im not happy with my appearance. Theres nothing particularly wrong with how I look but its not what i am used to i guess. I used to be extremely high maintenance and I actually really enjoyed getting dolled up and pampering myself. But of course all of that was an extremely expensive lifestyle and I dont have that kind of money now bcuz i no longer work in the sex trade (which Im grateful for). Im much happier not doing what I used to do but I do miss the pampering and having the abilityto do that. I have priorities now tho and spending money on myself like THAT is not even close to a priority. I am going shopping tomorrow with the $$ my hubby gave me and I am going to see if I can still pamper myself but on a budget lol Im excited to see what I can find Hope everyone has a good night. Ill probably be on here more tonight as I am doing the awake overnight shift with my son. Hugs TS fam

@butterflymoonwoman I do hope you did get some rest this evening. Sending you energy to stay up for your son today. Much love Dana ā hope you do get to do all that you have planned out for yourself tomorrow as well. Hey sexy lady ā just saw your update and I know its hard to view ourselves positively sometimes but let me tell you that you are perfect! Getting healthier by the day and I know you will get your ED under control soon too. You most def can pamper yourself on a budget and deserve some self care.
@catmancam Thank you so much Cam. I love this class for you. How lovely to tap deeper into your creative side. Ah man- Iām so sorry about all the mess you had to deal with on Friday ā do hope everyone gets their collective shit figured out so you can get the proper treatment/ meds you need. So thrilled that you are continuing with the Safe Soulmates and meeting up with a lovely group of friends.

Checking in on Sunday evening
277 days of alcohol and weed free
692 days of cigarette free
Its been a decent day. I only got to finish one movie but did get some quality time with my mom. Next week is going to be busy for me and i do hope it goes smoothly. This evening i started having some sharp pains in my eyes that only seem to feel ok for a second and then back to stabbing force. I luckily put in some eye drops and warm compress and then my lovely brother went to grab an eye patch for me. So now i have the pirate look going LOL!
Well my sober friends - have a wonderful eveningā¦ sending you all so much love
