Little check in before bed!! Day has been good, appointment with Archieās consultant regarding his CFS went well. Heās going to stay on really limited school hours as he hasnāt progressed with recovering. Itās complex for him as he has autism and hyper mobility too. Just grateful I can support him. Wrapped up my other sonās birthday presents, heās going to be 16 next!! Another lush walk with Rocky, whoās currently snuggled next to me snoring his little arse off!! š«¶š¼ super tired so getting an earlish night. Love and serenity to you all

was a good day for me!! i work for an agency so work isnāt always consistent, but i got a call to do some work today and had a nice day. felt really productive.
Found out my friends who i cancelled on (because a sober movie night turned into drinking) have loads of alcohol and are buying drugs. so i feel really happy that i didnāt go, and knowing i wont wake up with a hangover makes me feel so good!
a positive day for me

Oh my what a day. Glad to check in here friends.
CPS wants to renag on their earlier offer, and to be honest I knew they were going to do this. They only said this infront of the judge who was hard on them, and now they are renaging support for made up reasons.
WHAT IS A SCAM THAT HAS BECOME NORMALIZED
CHILD WELFARE INSTITUTIONS.
I cannot focus my energy here now and have to prepare for the trial, but i am deeply disgusted by this system and a system that would remove a child from its family due to lack of support and resources, only to place them in care and give the foster family those resources. My family is fighting, but I dont know how im not going to end up bitter from all of this.
I am VERY grateful a dribk did not even cross my brain today. It was an hour long meeting wifh all these bombs beinf dropped on us and that is difficult. I took my daughter skating straight after and worked on my backwards skating. What else can I do? We must pace ourselves in this life but if i can be perfectly hobest this doesnt feel like my life it feels like a movie. It feels so elaborate it cannot possibly be real, and the emotions are so high they cannot possibly be mine.
Keep fighting for yourselves my friend xo.

This is day 1. Iām still a bit hungover and my 3 year old asked me why Iām always sick. 
Wakeup call.
I canāt go to AA meetings because I donāt want her dad (my ex) to know how much I struggle. Heās threatened to take her from me before and if I attended meetings, he would know Iām an alcoholic. So I guess Iāll try this app. Seems like the next best option.

Welcome to the community friend. Great work on your day 1! This is a very supportive and non-judgmental community. Do hope that you stay around.
Would you be able to do online meetings for AA or recovery? You can do them with the audio and / or the video turned off. Sometimes just listening is enough to help support you.

I actually didnāt know they had online groups. I was in a psych hospital last year and Iām surprised it wasnāt mentioned. They were handing out pamphlets with local AA groups.

Oh that is strange that they would not mention.
I do know of an app called In The Rooms as one that offers on line meetings.
Not sure where you are from. Check google for online meetings. Some are available 24 hours a day.
Online meeting resources check out this thread for some other options as well.

Checking in Day 27 sober.
Still feeling a bit emotional and raw but know the feelings will pass.
Had a pretty good work day, tried to get outside, connect with friends and family, eat well and decided to paint my nails with a new gel set I got. Always feel a bit better after some self care. Watching a movie from 1990 ( when I was born) called The Long Walk Home. Trying to expand my knowledge on things I find Iām a bit ignorant towards. Still here, still sober, for better or worse. Hope everyone else here is finding their inner strength to stay on the path that suits them

Checking in before bed. I didnāt have the greatest day. Struggled with fatigue and pain, just couldnāt get it together. Maybe i did too much yesterday.
Got a few things done at work and made it through some appointments and meetings. Took a nap when i got home and spent the evening on the couch doing mostly nothing. Not the best day, but Iām going to bed sober. Hopefully tomorrow is better.
