I woke up in such a shit mood. Just angry for no real reason. I really didn’t want to see my boss first thing in the morning so it was lucky she didn’t even show up til past noon.

Work was okay. A few tables and set up for tomorrow. After, I stopped by a friends on the way home. Her grandmother was in hospice all night and they brought her back home today so she could pass on there. I feel a lot for her. I lost my grandma that way. She also lost her father exactly one year ago so it’s already been a hard time for her. We made plans to get together this weekend.

I should get to bed for tomorrow. No reason it won’t be a good day. Hope you all have a good one :grin:

Made it there.
I noticed that I missed my veeeery simple morning writing routine when my father died.
It’s writing down the personal commitment and the reasons to stay sober. Started this morning again.

Today it will be my nieces 11th birthday
celebration :heart:

Day 18.

Ive been sleeping a lot the last few days, im not waking up as early as i would like. Getting 9 to 9.5 hours a night. Maybe i need it?

Reading everyones stories and absorbing this collective positivity has really helped me on this journey so far.

Thank you and have a good sober day you all!

I can’t say anything this morning as my head is occupied by politics, which is off topic for this forum.

Nothing ever is a valid reason to drink or use. It’s always an excuse. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. I will. Love.

Day 767 AF

What’s up, gang.

Went for a skateboard cruise this morning. Then we went to my son’s classmate’s bday party at an escape room. The adults were chillin in a private room snacking on foodies. It was good chatting with other folks. I felt like I could be myself for once, didn’t feel socially awkward. Just got done meditating and about to crash. Gonna go to my in-laws tomorrow for Thanksgiving and then my mom’s house.

Have a great sober day, gang. Take care.

I am sorry you have such challenging news to deal with Jasmine. It’s certainly always a good idea to get a second and sometimes third opinion before taking such a step. Fingers crossed other doctors have another idea. In any case, really great you didn’t check out and faced the trouble head on. :clap:

Day 152. On a training event all day then preparing to travel north tomoro. Sleep is really poor. Woke up several times then finally woke up at 7.55 to start work at 8.

Looking forward to today and then time off. Have booked lunch in Liverpool on Saturday and then a big family meal on Sunday. Sadly my kids don’t want to come along. Hard but it is what it is.
