Checking-in for yesterday…
Nothing new, same symptoms, pain is making me feel extra miserable. Hoping it’s just irritation that needs tine to heal now, rather than the infection continuing.
The psychologist cancelled my appointment 50mins before it was due to start, because she was stuck in traffic. I dont know when our first session will be now, she said she would let me know, so I’ll wait to hear something.
I was already on the bus on my way there when she cancelled, and it meant I had 2 hours to kill before the hair cut I’d booked. I tried to be productive about it, walked to the toilets, then to a card shop, where I bought everyone’s xmas cards, then to Starbucks. Still had another hour so I looked around another store and bought 4 xmas gifts. Then I headed to my hair appointment 15mins early.
My hair is shorter than I wanted it, but it will now be able to grow how I picture it in my head, because it is cut into the correct style for it now. So I’m happy with it. It was an hour of total silence, other than the radio and sounds from barbering tools. I didn’t feel too awkward about it though.
Today, I am just listening to my body, trying to help it recover, and managing my symptoms. Will hopefully check-in again later on for today.

Happy hump day. Day 15. Feeling good. My vitals are within spec and i have a positive attitude. Because of the snow the turnout was about 50 kids yesterday for trick or treating. That leaves me with about 150 little bags of candy to figure out how to use.
I have decided to reduce/ eliminate caffeine for now. I drink way too much coffee. Going through at least 1 pot a day
@liz22 how are you doing today? Was the nap / meeting helpful yesterday? Sending you strength to keep moving forward. @englishd Those are some great costumes – hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! 2189 days is impressive! @rob11 how are you doing today Rob? Hope all is well with your test results. @hoss CONGRATS on moving into your new house! Grateful you finally got heat and internet @SadMemeQueen queen I am so sorry for the memories that this time of year brings up for you. Please do not punish yourself. If possible, find a way to honor and cherish the memory of your friend so that his spirit can live on with you. Sending you hugs and comfort my friend. @hoofhearted That is an awesome looking garage Dan – you have crushed it!!! So happy the kids and you had fun! @juli1 61 days and a new attitude! Love it Jules – keep moving forward and kicking addictions ass! @LIMINAL.REHAB WOOT WOOT – so good to see you checking in and at 8 months @trustybird I find those thoughts creep in when we are tired or have our defenses down. After a 12 hour shift I can imagine that you would be exhausted. Grateful that you were strong enough to ignore that thought @looking4support Love that you are trying to be available for everyone and provide so much support. This is a vast community which operates 247 and it is hard to keep up with all the posts / stories. I know your heart is in the right place in wanting to make sure that no one post gets left behind or not responded to. As Sassy mentioned, by tagging someone to a post it puts that person in a position to answer and that person may not be in a good mental / physical space to do so at the time. I know its hard to leave someone on “read” but it is best if we don’t have the right support to offer in that particular instance.
@dresdenlapage Best of luck with the new job today! You will be in the kitchen and you will be crushing it doing what you do best. I do get the need to be busy and the need to problem solve to keep moving forward but I have recently also realized that for me its exhausting and I need to slow my role. Still working on this so not giving advice just saying I understand where you are coming from. @bunto great to see you checking in with a few days of sobriety and feeling the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. Have a wonderful day and hope to see you around. @deelzebub 150 days and going strong love cozy morning when it’s cold / nasty outside. @jasty2 I see what you did - Thanks for the chuckle @catmancam I am sorry to hear about your symptoms still lingering. Hope it is not an infection – should you go see a doctor? Man- it sucks that your appointment got cancelled while you were on the way to it – grateful you were able to get so much done. Excited for your haircut. I do love when you get the perfect look in progress – hair grows fast so it wont be a long wait. I do hope you are able to rest today and feel better soon. @Soberbilly hey SB - congrats on your triple 5’s. I do understand the need to step away - ready to lend an ear / shouder when if you need.
We are here waiting your return. You will be missed
Checking in on Wednesday morning… i was riding high on Halloween energy yesterday. Felt fantastic. Feeling it today but have to go in to work for a few hours. Grateful to be able to rest afterwards. Today marks 2 years of not smoking for me and it feels amazing! I hope everyone has a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love :heart;
Day 623 sober from alcohol. Time alone gave me lots to think about. My husband is still a daily drinker and it was nice to be alone for a few days but it also shed some light on some of my continued flaws. I’ll let all that percolate in my noggin as I slay the day. Onward trusty soberinos!
I was busy and go go go as a younger person. Now, as an older person, way more zen. Do you is one of my many mantras. Work towards and with YOUR particular strengths. If busy works for you, stay busy.
Checking In Day 626
Today has been pretty good so far! Thanks to recovery, i have met my financial goals for this year. My credit card was paid off not too long ago and now today my overdraft was paid and closed off thru the bank. I am super proud of myself actually bcuz i have always been known to not do well with money. Recovery is showing me otherwise
I came home from the bank and did the dishes and vacuumed the carpet. Have been working on another dreamcatcher today also, a gift for someone
Grateful to be clean and sober and on this path with all of u. Hope everyone has a great day
@Soberbilly congrats on all the 5s @JazzyS I do/did have a UTI, spoke to a doctor and was prescribed antibiotics last Saturday. I hope you feel okay after having to push yourself and go into work, but I’m glad you enjoyed your favourite day @Brl81 congrats on triple digits @zzz sorry for your losses and the way their lives ended @DresdenLaPage that would be cool I hope today went well. @SelfLove_42 congrats on 90 days @Butterflymoonwoman congrats on meeting your financial goals for the year
1178 days no alcohol.
643 days no cocaine.
158 days no vape.
I dont want to jinx it, but I’m feeling a little better, my migraine has finally gone, and maybe it’s a sign that the infection is going too. (I’ve been on antibiotics since Saturday). Resting a hot water bottle on my bladder region is helping as well.
Tomorrow I have an online course, session 1 of 2 of ‘Finding My Voice’, which should gel nicely with my work on boundaries and assertiveness, when I do start my sessions with the psychologist.
congrats on your days so far 
congrats on 60 days 
🩵
depression also sucks, right there with you 
Thanks for the chuckle
good to get out the house
