Morning all, checking in on Day 44.
Just woken up, 11 hours solid sleep, you can only be in a good mood after that 
My sleep is a beautiful thing now. I can drop off naturally and I donāt really wake up. Feel like I could talk about the joys of sleep for hoursā¦
Luckily it wasnāt an early kickoff, daughter playing late morning today so time for my coffee and shower.
Have a great day everyone.
Happy Birthday friend! Enjoy and relax!
@Scorpn Happy birthday 
I am sorry about the pain. Really hope you get seen soon. Enjoy your day
@JazzyS Thank you so much, my day has definitely started chilled. So pleased you found the energy for your hair, it looks amazing. It took me 2 months of having the kit before I did mine! I no longer had grey hairs, but grey stripes 
@Looking4Support I am so sorry, I was really hoping for more positive news. I hope you can spend some time with him and he is comfortable 
@Tragicfarinelli sounds wonderful, share pictures please 
Such a beautiful place. I havenāt been there in years, would love to visit again.
I do love the Hertfordshire hedgerows and fields, but there is something so special about Cornwall. Stunning place 
Checking In Day 8)
I got the job 
I start Wednesday
Amazing news, congratulations. I absolutely love how you knew your self worth through all the waiting, but glad they recognised it to.
I love cornwall but it does feel along way from anywhere else! But the coast is fabulous
Day 142 check-in.
Lifeās been good lately. Iāve started freelancing and I finally have more time for my 2,6 y.o. daughter.
Tonight Iām going on a date with her dad (weāve been separated since January last year), he asked me out and I agreed. I have my doubts about this, but Iām glad weāll at least have a chance to have a conversation about us in private.
Apart from this, I managed to get back to some old hobbies - aquaristics and cooking and Iāll be starting swimming soon. Still working on socialising with my friends and do more things together - I think I need more time about that one.
Hi Julia, congratulations on your great amount of sober days 
and I totally agree with @Mno and @Alisa. This guy doesnāt do anything good to you. I wouldnāt text back but delete and block his number instead.
Youāve come so far and youāre doing great! No need to put all that at risk.
Be safe my friend.
Have a nice sober weekend.
What a birthday present that is 
Get well soon and happy belated birthday 
still
What a picture. Looks amazing.
Wish you a happy sober weekend!
No, no I donāt. Do you?
Congratulations on your new job! Youāll rock it!
Checking in on day 146 AF.
Yesterday was good. I had yoga at lunchtime then it was time for my daughter to get ready for her school Halloween party in the evening. I spent most of the time in the quieter craft room chatting to a couple of the other parents. I felt fairly relaxed though, which was good because Iāve always found the Halloween party hard work in the past.
On the bus back we were surrounded by drunk people or people heading out on their night out and having a drink on the bus. I did feel a bit triggered by that but the feeling did pass. I had made sure to have a nice refreshing alcohol free option in the fridge at home for me to come back to.
Today my stepdaughter is coming to visit so Iām currently baking a sourdough loaf and Iāll buy a few nibbles to go with it. Iām told her that sheās welcome to have a glass of wine but that sheāll have to bring her own as Iām not drinking.
All in all Iām so much more upbeat now. Iām so glad the antidepressants are working well for me now.
Wishing everyone an addiction free day.
Checking In on day 263 sober.
On a family vacation now and it is amazing to not be looking for ways to sneak off and drink.never thought this could happen.
Thankyou kindly Theyāre concerned that during the January quiet spell, I wonāt be very busy so Iām writing them a menu that will both bring people in and is heavily focused on cheap cuts of meat and lots of water and air lol the go on it is about 89% so far so it basically covers my salary after about 4 days if 40 people a day come and eat. Honestly, people make this shit out to be so hard lol
Hello all , checking on day 6 
Awesome! Congrats on the job.
Boy youāre definitely a win for that company. They better treat you right, right? Enjoy this new chapter in life!
