Glad my words are saying something to you. Of course not my own wisdom, but itās better well stolen than badly thought up right 
(to use the Dutch phrase ābeter goed gestolen dan slecht bedachtā)

Day 35. Had a good morning. Woke up, said my prayers And gratitudes. Went to my interview, made sure I was nice and early. They came out and got me, the guy did a quick walk around with me and showed me the icu and explained a few things to me about how things go. Which wasnāt new to me I understood everything, they he brought me back to the girls office and she did the interview, she asked me some questions and I did the best I could. I wasnāt to sure how she was feeling, she seemed nice. But when the guy was walking me out of the building, he patted me on the back and said that was a beautiful interview, he said heās watched her do a lot of interviews and he could tell she was thoroughly impressed with me and he said I most definitely got the job. So that really made my day better, I will say that yup they are super strict there, which I understand itās a hospital, you have to wear a uniform, they do thorough room checks and times and this and that. Which still isnāt a big deal lol. But where Iām at now itās super chill, nobody checks on me and I get 45 min lunch breaks and itās just really nice. But for the extra money and better benefits Iām sure Iāll be fine with the hospital. Now im home and not sure what to do, probably a little laundry idk much love Iām gonna enjoy my day off

Keep pushing forwardā¦the sleep does take time but it will regulate. Have you tried melatonin or a warm drink before bed to help with the sleep? These have worked wonders for me.

Congratulations on one more day won Alden. I do know how our addict mind convinces us of not throwing away our DOC as if that money is worth saving in the long term. It took me forever to dump the liquor. A few times I gave it away so that it wasnāt a complete waste but that made me feel bad in a different way. Keep pushing forward Aldenā¦it does get easier.
@lorelai love personal recordsā¦now the sky is the limit. You are doing amazingly well. I am good loveā¦thanks for asking. Grateful to be free of all my addictions and feeling blessed.
@Mindofsobermike congrats on your interview going so well. Love that you have options now to choose from.
Checking in on Tuesday morning
Will be working today (attempting to anyways). My entire back and neck are screaming at me. I do hope I can keep pushing forward.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free dayā¦ sending you all so much love

My drugs of choice are heroin, fentanyl, and meth, but yeah I know weed isnāt a positive thing for me but Iām just hesitant to throw it away in case I end up wanting it it the future if I have a bad day or something, cuz I know itād be much better than to use my DOC, and like I said, the waste of $40.
That said, thank you @JazzyS and Iām sorry youāre in pain, I hope it gets better soon

Hi all, checking in with 96 days. Yet another chronic fatigue crash, I really havenāt got the balance right with work and home. The kids are taking a lot of my emotional energy too. I only have 2 more days at work though.
I am sad to say, for the first year ever, I am not looking forward to Christmas. I am so tired right now I am craving space and time alone. That wonāt really happen. I am really starting to question why Christmas revolves around everyone elseās expectations. You get told for so long that it is supposed to be about family and the way things are done that it takes years to question it. Like my Christmas isnāt my own. Until my kids become older and I can guilt them into doing what I want, and the cycle continues! I am thinking of suggesting one year my parents, one year in laws, one year off. But then I realise our parents are getting older and the guilt sets inā¦
Wow, that went on a bit! Apologies.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Day 178. Second check in. Got my hair cut for Christmasā¦ Two more days at work then off for five days Iām not missing alcohol. Iām also not kidding myself that I can relapse at some stage. Every day is a new fresh challenge. Mainly watching Christmas movies in the evening and relaxing at home. Have a fab evening folks

Checking in after a busy day. I start my new job tomorrow, so I have spent today doing odd jobs and housework, in between tutoring sessions, to stop myself over thinking and becoming overly anxious. Fingers crossed I manage to sleep tonight 
I hope everyone is having a good day/night.
