@karenkw congrats on day 11 Karen ā I am sorry that you dealt with insomnia last night ā hopefully you will be able to get in a nap today.
@maestro how are you doing today? Hope everyone was able to find some closure today at the funeral. Sending you many hugs and comfort for you and your family.
@cp25 WOW Cynthia I love ALL the numbers! 6 months no Adderall and 5 years no toxic relationships are really impressive. Keep showing up for yourself
Great work Kim ā this is the best part of recovery when we get so intwined with life that we donāt have time for our toxic old behavior. 26 days and going strong 
Keep doing you!
Checking in on Thursday morning ā my mind keeps wanting to make it Tuesday (Not sure what that is all about).
I am moving around and trying to get some tasks accomplished without difficulty. It is a lovely sunny fall day and i am grateful for that. I did have a urge to smoke cigs today and am grateful that i saw Paulās post on the other thread - so right that i am not that person anymore. ODAAT Hope everyone has a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love

Thank you @JazzyS 
- everything went as well as they could given the circumstances.
Stopped by for the wake for an hour or two - and while it was great to catch up with family that I donāt see often, there was a little coupon at each seat for a free drink at the bar. I stuck to the coffee and sandwiches. Probably had a couple of sandwiches too many, had to go to the gym later on in the afternoon to work them off. 
Hope you all had a great Thursday.

Day 23. Have a colonoscopy scheduled for Tuesday so I had to take a rona test. Came back negative woot. Still need to finish up my 4th step but other than that all is good.
Went to an AA meeting at the local hospital. Its held at the facility for in and out patient alcohol treatment services. Being there with people who are just starting their journey reminded me of me when I was in that position just starting. It reinforces my commitment to not go back to how I was. I plan to keep returning to that meeting to share my story and do what I can to provide hope and proof that things can get better. I guess its kind of a form of service work.
Have an awesome day my friends!!

Day 2198.
Big work event tonight. Itās our 40th Anniversary party. Should be a good time, but thatās not why Iām posting.
As I am part of agency leadership I get to be involved in planning these events. We are a harm reduction agency so when we were planning this we discussed making a boozeless event. When discussing this everyone turned and looked at me for approval like I am somehow a representative of all of the recovery community. Much to everyoneās dismay I stated that we should absolutely be serving alcohol since we are charging 125 a ticket. Also has a harm reduction agency I think itās not a good look to present an abstinence only event. I have personally taught people how to inject drugs properly, handed out fentanyl test strips and do street outreach for narcan training but for some reason drinking is line we draw as an agency 
Either way, we arenāt serving booze, and I disagree with the decision.
Also this post is meant to be amusing because the sober guy is wanting the party to have booze

day 617 of no self harm
I canāt work or do much of anything so my health has been first priority. had an appointment on the 15th. had referrals being processed (specifically to a cardiologist which I need)and needed to see my doc to get my CPAP supplies or mobility aids.
the doctors office just called and said my doc left and isnāt with them anymore. so now I have to find a new doctor and try to get them to listen and actually hear me and believe me. Iām so upset. this is the one fucking thing I had. the one thing. I have nothing going for me
update: I told my mom and she mentioned a nurse practitioner she really liked, I scheduled an appointment for November 22nd

I am blessed to have had so many options at my disposal when i decided i wanted a meeting. Didnāt know what meeting to go to and finally decided on a AA Fellowship meeting which was absolutely amazing. Felt so welcome and loved. Will definitely be going back.
I absolutely LOVE my fellow members. Feel fortunate to have found this community and now an in person meeting where i donāt feel alone.

Oh Megan - I am so sorry to hear this. I would be upset too. This is baffling to me - can you call them to see who is taking on his patients or at least get your medical history and notes sent to your new doctor (once you find)? Donāt give up hope my friend. I realize it feels like one thing after another. I am hoping that you do get some care and a solid plan to recovery soon
much love to you Megan. Great work on 617 days no SH!
