One thing I learned while in college this last time is that even if my best meant I got 1% on a test/exam and I failed, I still did my best and thereā€™s no shame in that.

I had to adjust my expectations of myself.

Funny thing is,ā€¦ I ended up being pretty close to a straight A student in my program.

The world works in mysterious ways.

That it does my friend. Thanks for your kind words and continued support. Put a smile on my face :blush: Iā€™m trying to definitely change my expectations and mindset like you said. I like the saying ā€œshoot for the moon, even if you fall, youā€™ll land among the starsā€ :sparkles::star2: puts a positive spin on both !!

Day 716
Feeling much more myself today. Woke up tired but pushed myself to go to the gym. Ended up having an amazing workout. Did back exercises and 30 min of cardio (without any knee pain). Felt sooo good to be moving my body and strengthening it. Came home full of energy! Did dishes and am now prepping my lunch. The weather is absolutely gorgeous today also so that helps the mood. Not much else happening right now. Just enjoying my day :high_brightness:

Today started off great and went to hell in a hand basket by lunch. Itā€™s been a busy day, audacity is at an all time high today, and my 10th graders school called in the middle of the chaos bc heā€™s ā€œsickā€ā€¦ Iā€™m pretty sure it was all the Takis he ate last night and not an actual tummy bugā€¦ but I digress ā€¦

I just needed to vent it out somewhere. Hopefully venting here was fine?

Hereā€™s to the second half of the day getting so much better :crossed_fingers: #PositiveVibesMovingForward

@tifflynn07 Great work on your 1 month!! :tada: Iā€™m sorry that your day went downhill. This is def the place to come and lash out - vent - scream. We need a safe space to do so. I hope it helped. Keep going strong :muscle:
@solareclips One month of sobriety is awesome ā€“ keep fighting the good fight :muscle:
@jp123 Nicely done with 3 week milestone! Grateful that you had such a lovely welcoming experience with you AA meeting. They really are the best -awesome to be among others who understand the struggle in real life.

Checking in on Tuesday afternoon
woke up early enough with another crappy night of sleep. Loved that i was able to get some mom / coffee time in :hugs: Got my zoom meeting completed and was able to catch up on TS. I did try to dye streaks of green in my hair ā€“ epic fail! No color whatsoever! So dissapointed
On my way to take mom to her appointmentā€¦ wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

High school and teenagers are no joke. Iā€™m constantly in a battle over what I would consider common sense things.

Emptying a school backpack before the leftover lunch turns black green and fuzzy.
Flushing the toilet and replacing the toilet paper roll.
Taking showers shorter then an hour.

To name but a few lol

Iā€™ve learned that to keep my sanity, I need to choose my battles very carefully. Somewhere between a barn and a psych ward is the line I have to tread carefully.
