Checking in on Wednesday morning
I feel fairly good considering my sleep is shit. I do have the comfort of my hot cup of coffee, a peaceful quiet morning with a lovely snow covered view. Going to not plan too much for today and take it moment by moment. Hopefully will be a productive day. I do feel lighter emotionally today so that is always a great start. Off to make things happen
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love
Day 78. Yesterday evening was good, girls got to stay the night again. I asked my ex if we could switch weekends if the hospital doesn’t have it right and she said yes. So that was nice of her, girls picked out school outfits and off to bed around 9. We woke up and everything was pretty good, autumn was putting on makeup and my mom snapped at her about something, so autumn started crying and my mom doesn’t try to see her point of view she just start snapping more about it. I said mom stop snapping and arguing back and forth with her to which my mom got up and stomped her feet away. I just stayed calm and had autumn come over to me and tried to calm her down and help her understand some things and also understand her feelings. Idk redirecting those moments are not easy, but I do know my mom needs to figure out a different solution besides snapping. I get my mom is tired and is helping the best she can but snapping at 7 in the morning before these girls have to go to school for 7 hours isn’t the answer to a successful day. But with time things will hopefully get better. Idk much love everyone have a wonderful Weds
Thanks @JazzyS and @SoberWalker. It got better as the day went on. Then poor Hubster said he didn’t feel well right before he went off to work. Thats definitely not like him at all so I felt less of a hypochondriac and realised that I no longer feel unwell at all!
Great day at work, and time to relax and knit while I carry on with my True Detective marathon. Have a great evening all.
Day 59
I had a long work day and am still not finished, so have to do some more work before going to bed, ugh… Thankfully my weekend starts tomorrow at 4pm.
Didnt have the time to read here today and that feels a bit uncomfortable, but tomorrow’s another day. Have a good one y’all!
Almost to 80 days. Nothing much to report. Im grateful for this place and all of you who share your lives so I can learn and be inspired to continue this sober journey. I have been so cool, calm and collected, I literally asked my husband who am I these days. Forgiveness and learning to let go have been my downfall my whole adult life. I’m happy to report I am becoming much more compassionate and understanding of others as I am showing the same to myself. Have a winning Wednesday sober friends!!!
Day 717
Today is going fairly well. I went to the gym this morning for a leg workout and a little cardio. Excited for tomorrow… I get to see my results from the Body Scan Im getting done at the gym. Came home to tidy up. Got an email that my sons overnight care will be changed up for February. Our FT and PT nurses will be taking vacation and so there are many shifts needing to be filled. We are going to be having a training shift for a new nurse fairly soon. I am praying she works out so that she is able to take some of these open shifts. I may have to do some too, idk yet. Hopefully not. But it is what it is. I will be better prepared this time around if I have to do some shifts. Not much else going on. Just taking it easy today

Yesterday I caught-up here. Sorted all my meds out for the week. Did my morning routine. Went to the supermarket for the rest of my Dad’s birthday presents.
This afternoon I attended an online course called ‘Identifying Identity’, after the initial issue with not being let in, I actually enjoyed this one. The second part is next week.
The cravings to binge are so intense. I start to believe the voice that tells me it’s what I want, but I know that I don’t want to reset my timer even more.
Not to bad, do my things. But re-integration project with my re-integration coach goes mwa. Thoughts about buying a backpack, fill it up, empty the little amount on my back account, go to the train station, hop on a train and come back when I feel like it
