Day 333.
Now that’s a cool number. 
I think I’m slowly coming out of my little funk. Yesterday I spent the day cleaning my apartment and it helped me feel better and centered. There’s something really therapeutic about cleaning things and tidying.
Still not sure what I’m doing today. But whatever it is, I’m doing it sober.
Alycia, I’m proud of u for finding skills to stay sober. Congrats!
Day 89
Struggling with feelings of shame and disappointment and some anger too. I made a mistake by not paying attention to some notifications re insurance and now owe some money. Will be able to pay with some savings but I’m so mad at myself! Talked with my therapist and got some perspective. Sigh. Being human is tough sometimes.
Day 1,279 clean and sober, day 8 no vaping. I hope everyone has an amazing day, love you guys 
Edit: Just realized I have 3.5 years clean and sober today!
I sooo get this. I really am bad with paying attention to this kind of stuff, and quite often end up being scared of consequences, trying to avoid the issue, feeling ashamed of failing, etc.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on boundaries vs walls. I struggle with this and you gave me some concepts to work with.

Phew!..I spoke to my GP on Monday about all the suicidal lows I’ve been experiencing, and he was more than happy to prescribe a mood stabiliser that I’ve been on in the past. I can keep myself safe now, because I have hope, that things should feel better soon.
I had an intense but healthy therapy session yesterday, I like this therapist, I’m finding her very easy to be completely open with. I was worried she might want to stop the sessions due to how I’ve been feeling, but she was pleased that I’d taken action, spoken to my GP, and started taking the medication. I’m not seeing her now until the 2nd of January, by then I hope to feel a bit more stable.
Besides all of that, I struggled massively to get anything done ahead of today’s tenancy inspection, but to cut a long story short, I did get it done, and the inspector has been and gone. 
Hopefully I’ll check in later tonight with today’s numbers.

Hey all, checking in on day 1277. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 29 pretty happy to be working up 30 days. Woke up pretty good and said my prayers and gratitude, had a nice bike ride into work. Tomorrow I’ll have the day off and well I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet lol, but I’m excited for the day off. Much love everyone also. Happy birthday @JazzyS I hope you had a wonderful time
Go for another bike ride! Nothing helps me quite as much as cycling outdoors. Cleans out the brain nicely. Congrats on 29 days 
Day 132,
Happy to be at work. Got a great workout in yesterday so i took the morning off to rest up. Now it’s about focusing and not handing my brain over this morning to my impulses. Have a great day!

@Just_Laura congrats on your 300 days Laura! You are doing great - keep going strong 
So awesome that your daughter killed it with her passage… should be a proud momma for sure.
@Lile01 great work on day 6 Indi! Grateful that you do have a doctor’s appointment. So sorry that you are feeling so ill …the detox can be harsh on our bodies. Hope you start to feel better soon.
@SoberWalker great work on 2 months of no social media! Thanks for the picture…tree just looks so happy. Hoping today is filled with calmness for you.
@acromouse congrats on your 3 weeks . Hope you take it easy and heal well
@JoeDogs welcome to day 1 Brad.
@Timetochange you have been doing amazingly well keeping focused and on track. It does suck when those around us don’t understand how destructive even one drink is. Greatful that you will have options of non alcoholic beverages. Together we can get through this holiday season.
@Steve92 heck yeah - that’s a win! Keep going strong
@Alycia oh that sounds like a stressful and frustrating day. Grateful that you were able to come here and find comfort and support. Wishing you a better day today
@Trixie1 I know for me I did have some brain fog in my early recovery days. A few things did get missed and had to start making reminder notes. I am grateful that you were able to talk this out with your therapist… hopefully not beating yourself up over it.
@Rockstar24777 3.5 years!!! Awesome work Robbie
So relieved to be past a chapter that we have been looking forward to for a long time. We got my MIL moved out of the home she shared with her ex husband, my husband drove her from northern Florida to southern Michigan, I drove the 7 hours over and got her studio apartment set up for her and the three of us unloaded the trailer and got her, her little terrier dog and ancient cat all settled in. She can start her new life and we did our best to help - it felt really good to accomplish something we have been planning for 6+ months. I’m glad I was able to power through even though I have lingering crud from being so sick, I got tired so quickly, too, but we made it happen. I drove my husband and myself home yesterday since he had just spent two days driving and apparently did most of it himself. It was an ordeal but it was worth it. I’m looking forward to being able to see her more regularly, she really is a smart and interesting woman and I enjoy her conversation and doing things like hiking and camping with her. We now have the ability to do more of that being within driving distance and she can have a relationship with her granddaughter there who lives half an hour away. All happy things.
I’m happy that’s over, though, and I’m happy to be home and back to routine. Though today I get this temporary crown off my two back molars and finally get my permanent crowns! I can’t wait! I’m grateful my recovery has included getting my teeth in working order! While I was drinking I just avoided every “adulting” thing I could. I’m grateful to be confronting what needs to happen, what I want to happen, and not avoiding by numbing out any more. Sending sober strength to you all. 
@CATMANCAM Thank you for the birthday wishes. Glad you got the mood stabilizers and hopefully will be feeling more like yourself soon. Glad you got the place cleaned up before the appointment and that your inspection is completed. Hoping your day goes smoothly
@Mindofsobermike Thanks Mike for my birthday wishes.
Checking in on Wednesday morning - Happy Hump Day everyone
