Still crappy, ate lunch. Couldnāt taste my food. Went and told my supervisor, they sent me to get swabbed and sent home. Iām so fricken mad at myself, I kinda wish I wouldnāt of said anything. Y couldnāt I get sick further into being there. Iām just really disappointed

Iām sorry man. Itās the right thing though. Remember itās not your fault you got sick and they might be peeved to have to be down a person but thatās the way things go sometimes and you arenāt the only employee to ever get sick. Focus on resting and getting better. I hope you have something to eat and maybe some medicine. Sending hugs

Checking in 1,260 days sober. Donāt know why i decided to check my day count today, but im glad i did. Im proud of myself. I struggled with chronic relapsing for years, but i was determined this time. I also did it for me, not court ordered, not to get out of legal trouble, not to make someone else happy or get them off my back. I did it because i was tired of the way i was living and knew i needed to change.
Anyway, itās a beautiful, sunny day. I saw some flowers blooming in my yard this morning. Springtime and warmer weather alway make me happy. Im looking forward to a couple days off. So far, it doesnāt look like i have to work over the weekend.
I hope everyone has a beautiful sober day!

Social media has that effect doesnt it?! I almost said its funny and then im thinking its really not funny at all! I worry about my little ones and how weāre going to manage all that, but that is hopefully a while away. I just dislike it so much!
Anywayys, good for you on youe half marathon, sober days & your dedication to your health! Ive yet to get the working out into my daily life, but it feels like constantly running around must count for something 
Be well Mischa!

So i have to work on my resentments and guilt. Big ones that need time and space, as Derrick said do the work and the resr will follow. Check up from the neck up.
Spent some time with my gf today who just had a miscarriage, and she is in much different boat then I am in that she has been trying along time for another and has had many miscarriages. I feel my friendships are so important, that even though Im crazy busy getting house ready for exchange I made her a ccare package so she doesnt have to cook tonight and took the time to have coffee with her. Women go through this alone too often, so I want to be a good friend to those I hokd dear and prioritize these relationships. This got extremely off kilter for me when i had children and I feel im in a place now where the social aspects of life are so precious and I must extend myself where I can. The importance of being there for others, getting out of yourself and laughing and all that.
Wishing everyone another 24 & wish us luck on our first home exchange! Congrats to all you fine folks on another day xo.

1306 days no alcohol.
771 days no cocaine.
286 days no vape.
31 days no binge-eating.
Caught up here yesterday morning, then did my morning routine.
Read some of my book in the afternoon.
Did some meditations.
Attended the LGBTQ+ Zoom group, it was fun we carried on past the end time, and they carried on another 30mins after I left, due to my vision going blurry and struggling to stay awake. Going forwards, I will take my evening meds after the Zoom, not before.
Then I slept quite a lot overall, but all in bursts, and with awful dreams. Was relieved to be awake.
I have spent most of the day catching up here, and meditating. Did my morning routine too.
I am going to try to sleep soon. Tomorrow morning I have the trans, nb, gq Survivors support group, which I usually find quite wholesome.
Happy International Womenās Day!

Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends.

I know it sucks but you are no good sick ā they know this is not something you would rather be dealing with.
@forrestkump man I hear you on getting worked up over little things. I am still working on my patience with others and not getting myself get twisted over things. I find knowing that I need to work on this and keeping it in the forefront helps me deal with it better these days when it arises. Hopefully one day Iāll not have to think about it all and things wonāt get to me. Hoping for the same for you.

Checking in on Friday late afternoon
443 days free of alcohol and weed
858 days free of cigarettes
Been a decent day. Hanging with mom who is doing much better. My pain is a lot more tolerable than yesterday but still intense. The nurse advised that i get back on pain killers but i will continue without them for now. Was able to do some light cleaning and cooking today so that was great for me (mainly mentally). I hate sitting around.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love
