Checking in again Day 3.
Iām super shaky and anxiousness is getting worse than yesterday plus horrible headaches. Iām having a hard time not picking up a drink because I have a lot of stress in my life right now. But I know drinking isnāt the way to cope and every time I drink I donāt like who I become

sending you comfort right now Lys ā i know how hard the anxiety and withdrawals can be at the beginning. Hold tight ā read here, talk to some one in real life if you can, go to meetings in person or online if that is something you are able to do, go for a walk or do a workoutā¦ i would do anything to keep my mind and body active so i did not have time to focus on that nagging voice.
We got your back hereā¦ you are stronger than this addiction. One second at a time 
Much love to you as you get through these nasty beginning days

Just struggling really bad mentally. I also lost my debit card and food stamp card and have to go replace those and low on money Iām just stressed

I was awake early, did my morning routine, then had a bath, and made it to the bus stop in time, to go to the city centre for my therapy appointment.
Therapy went really well. A lot of stuff came up, I found it easy to talk to her.
Got the bus home in time for an online course this afternoon, which wasnāt great unfortunately, but I sat through it anyway.
Now I have a Migraine coming on, so I thought Iād catch-up and check-in here before my eyes get even blurrier.

Day 21. Had my interview at 1130 this morning with the Plattsburgh hospital for environmental services. The girl loved my background and that I had experience and was excited to hire me, she said itās a union job, there was a 5,000 roller sign on bonus and Iād being making about 18 to 20 dollars a hour bc of my experience and thatās not counting shift differential. So it sounds pretty cool, so she said me up for the big interview with her big boss in two weeks. Which I kind of like because it gives me time to give meadow Brook a chance, of course now im like what should I do for meadowbrook? Iām only making 15 a hour there, part of me feels like a ass to leave for the hospital, Iām like to do I stay bc then I could go for my CNA license, idk now Iām all confused about what to do with this job 
lol. But anyways Iāll pray about it and just try to take it a day at a time. Iām grateful for today much love everyone

Checking in sober.
Day had a really crappy start. Therapy at lunchtime helped me calm down a lot and sort out some things. Then had a meeting about my new job and took care of some paperwork. So that was positive. My mind is still completely off kilter and Iām struggling to get work done.
Iām exhausted and been battling a headache all day.
