I feel quite well and grounded today. After a long weekend (due to strike at schools on Monday) itās so good to get back to the weekdaysā routine. Itās snowing, I have some work to do but not too much, everything is calm and quiet. I hope it stays that way. I still isolate myself, but itās a good kind of isolation, when I step back and just focus on my basic needs, finding peace in existence, having a break from life stuff. It has been long since I treated my life with acceptance even for a day, and that pointless fight just wore me off.

Wintery day today. Evaluation with my managers at work coming up. I already had a mail from one of them telling me not to worry. Which I donāt. Itās more a question of seriously starting to think about how to proceed with my career in addiction care.
Not that I have that many years working left -it should be about ten- but for me itās new and very strange to think about a career, period. I never had one before, work was just a necessary evil that (hardly) paid my bills and addictions. Something I did until I was so fed up with it I changed jobs.
It is new for me to do something that I like, that has some use, that I feel apt at and useful doing, and that I can still develop and advance myself in. It most certainly would not have happened would I still be drugging and boozing my life away. Not in addiction care of course, but not in any other line of work either. And while work isnāt everything in life, it still takes up a huge portion of my waking hours so I better do something I like and fulfills me. One day at a time.
I never would have been where I am now without your help. Forever in your debts friends. Iām going to have as good a day as I can and expect the same from you all. Sober and clean. Love.
@BrOKenWolf Huge congrats Richard. Keep going. As you do. Itās all we all can do. Despite and through it all. Hugs.

Day 1896 
And day 44 no social media and day 3 no sugar.
That sounds like a lot of noās 
Got some bad news yesterday from a good friend with health issues because of brain damage (long story with cancer involved). She has slipped and broken her hip and shoulder. Sheās in a hospital now and had surgery.
I always admire her for her possitivity despite what she has on her plate. And she has a lot lately 
I hope she recovers from this and her brain isnāt hurt more by the anesthesia. Fingers crossed.
Today? Having the day off from work. Going to buy a card for my friend and doing some house chores. Tonight visithing friends.
Picture from a walk a week ago, I like that solitude tree surrounded by sand.
Have a good day hard working people!

I can not believe I am almost 17 days free from pills. Itās one of the longest if not the longest bit of sobriety Iāve had in God knows how long. I just feel better. Does life still suck sometimes? 100% it does. Life is a beeotch at times, hence the reason most of probably picked up our evil poisons to begin with. Do the good times feel better? 100% they do. Also the bad times are not as bad and I noticed a lot of my ābad timesā could usually be traced back to my addiction somehow. I guess what Iām realizing is life can be hard, but itās harder when Iām trapped in addiction. Itās like being in a glass box and the world is going on and youāre just watching it and wishing you could be part of it. Itās like the most free prison you can put yourself in. Sure youāre not literally stuck inside of a facility or my box therefore physically youāre free, but internally itās like your in a war fighting and serving a prison sentence. The way to freedom is to just surrender. I can not do this, I just canāt do this alone. I get that now. I need you guys, I need my family and very select friends, I need to use my tools, I need connection and need to be of service to others, this is how I finally feel free. I know I could slip and fall at any point, but I wonāt for today. Today Iām strong 
but in a few hours I may not be and thatās ok. Iām finally ok with feeling the things, all the things. Itās kinda nice. Yāall will never know how much you truly have helped me, so for that Iām grateful. Now letās have a terrific sober Tuesday everyone!!!

Day 177 AF.
I felt pretty anxious this morning while I got the kids up for school. My son didnāt go in today as he hurt his foot and he said it was too sore to walk on. He seems fine now however.
I made myself go to chair yoga which I felt bad during the first portion of. But I just worked through it and felt a little bit better after it. After Iād eaten I took my support workerās suggestion to visit the community centre thatās nearby and I was brave enough to ask someone to tell me a bit about what they do there. I ended up being shown around the place and put my name down for the woodwork workshop. Thereās a waiting list but I feel good that my names down for that now.
Iām just waiting for my daughter to get back from school and then an early dinner as I have a meeting about a schoolwork trip my son wants to go on this evening. Then Iāll continue watching season 2 of Orange Is The New Black when I get home.
Wishing everyone an addiction free day.

Normies dont get it. Why we constantly have to do recovery work, why our thinking has to be constantly focused on doing being controlled by our DOC. Iāve been an addict longer than iāve not been, and yet, i canāt take a day off. My āDefaultā Settings push me to more and more dopamine. I have to go into every day with a plan so my default settings dontā take over and iām just clicking and clicking all day long. We do need each other. Just a positive thought or encouragement goes a long way.
