@shel75 sending you love and comfort today my friend – hope your MRI goes well 
@dustysprungfield It’s weird how anxiety creeps up on you. Unnerving really as it comes out of the blue when you are doing so well. I am grateful to hear that you are playing the tape forward, preparing for the weekends and focusing on sobriety. All we can do is focus on the moment at hand and add on some more sober time. Keep going strong in your sober journey 
@acromouse Grateful for the charged battery my friend – I do feel like I can sense its magical powers today – So very grateful 
@Englishd You doing ok Derrek? Haven’t seen you around much and maybe a check in is what’s needed? I know you have much going on at the moment – do hope you are well.
@juli1 Way to go with your 16 days Jules! I am sorry that the body image is messing with your head. You are a very active woman and have healthy habits. Keep on the track of sobriety and I believe you will start feeling / seeing the health benefits too. Its crazy how much damage alcohol can do to our bodies. No need for crazy diets friend – just 0 alcohol 
I know its not easy to get these thoughts out of the head once they creep in. You are not alone in this – practice positive affirmations and remind yourself of the beautiful badass rockstar that you are.
@cleanheart so lovely to hear that you are doing better today and day 1 is awesome! I do find the practice of gratitude to be so rewarding and healing. Do join us on the gratitude thread if you are interested… Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #6
@catmancam UGH another 10 min appointment? Can you ask them if this is the norm? Not sure what you are gaining from such a short appointment. I do hope the rehab is more lucrative. OOF – the cc issues are such a hassle. I know we have had that happen many times and not even sure how they get the cc #. The wait for the replacement card was the hardest part. I do hope you get yours soon so that you can get all your meds and such sorted out. 
@catmama23 Way to go with your 50 days Lauren – I will celebrate extra on your behalf till you are ready to feel the joys of your accomplishment. I know its not easy but do not compare yourself to others. What is easy for one is a mountain for another and yet we all have our own burdens and hurdles to overcome. You are not weak!! Please get that out of your head. I see you pushing forward and making changes on a daily and stacking up these days is not for the weak – believe me! I am so sorry that you feel defeated. I can relate that sometimes you just get hit with a ton of bricks of emotion and it feels like you are drowning in negativity. The thoughts can be crippling and really make you think that they are right. I am here to tell you that they are lies. You are a strong amazing woman and I see you giving it your best. You are not done love – keep that umph alive! We are here for you… utilize your irl tools. Sending you loads of love 
I try to surround myself with positive affirmations, comedy to lift my spirits and beauty / meditation to ease my soul.
@noshame So lovely to see you checking in - grateful that you three are doing well. Much love to momma and baby Archer
@Mindofsobermike Food poisoning is horrible. I am sorry you had to go through that. Stay hydrated today - take deep breathes and hopefully things will fall into place.
Checking in on Thursday morning…
Woke up late which felt good. Was a very disturbed sleep last night as i was up almost every 1/2 hour. Not sure how but i almost fell off of the king sized bed three times. Grateful that i did not 
i do have more energy today - trying to take things slow so that i can stretch it out. Was able to meet my mom for a quick coffee this morning which is always lovely.
Gonna try and make the most of today! Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love
