Hi TragicF!
Yes a need and a privilege for sure! Like the panthers, chubby tabby was wide awake, with that insane look. 
She probably hears the squeaks of blind marsupials that I cannot. Sheās been fed and will sleep soon, like yours. Thank you for stopping by to cheer me up! 
I mean living in a big tourist magnet of a city can probably be pretty exhausting. On the other handā¦
Enjoy your quiet time. Maybe do an artistās trip? When I feel a bit off I sometimes go to a part of my city I donāt know well and look for things that might inspire my imagination for a story, a game, a painting. I usually find somethin. Donāt forget to take a notebook.
Good morning to your part of the world too! I am just having coffee right now. You are spot on with yours 
Had a not so great night too. Good to know happens all over the world 
The wisteria looks fabulous!
Iām going to work just 8-3and then book next Monday off. That should help as it gives me a long weekend
A new day one. Back where I started too many timesā¦.
Busy 2 weeks of work and work travel ahead. Feeling great but I think this is because I have been working out every day. Must keep it up. As my mother used to say āthe devil makes work for idle handsā. I think this was probably invented by pious business owners to justify working their staff too hard but it does ring true with reference to alcohol too!

1343 days no alcohol.
808 days no cocaine.
323 days no vape.
3 days no binge-eating.
Depression is heavy. Yesterday I read another chapter of the new book, did my morning routine for the first time of last week, previous days Iād only managed parts of it, so that felt good. Really wanted to go for a walk but the overwhelming sense that itās not safe out there won.
Today is therapy day, first a bath/shower.
I hope you all had wonderful sober weekends.
(I ran out of 
s about 15 posts ago, sorry).

2077 days alcohol free 83 days weed free.
Good to see you here bro. See you here again tomorrow okay?
Good to see you Jonathan. Welkom terug.
Today has been much better so far. Still having some anxiety but nothing like yesterday. I think getting such a good long sleep helped. I woke up feeling more energiized and hopeful. I get so frustrated with myself when my anxiety gets as bad as it did yesterday. I always feel ashamed of my anxiety and feel like it makes me weak even though I know it doesnāt I canāt seem to get over that messed up belief system I have going on inside me. Anyways I feel clearer today and feel like myself. I know Iām strong enough to cope
Thank you Aga! Sorry to hear, but thank you for sharing. 
. I hope it improves for you soon. Have a good day
Yes Iāll be here tomorrow. Thanks for the guidance
Thank you!
Do you have a plan how to comfort yourself nicely after the therapy session? Something that will help you feel safe and OK?
Other then that: Three days is really great! I already can see a change in your posts.
16 days sober and I noticed my weight is starting to drop a little. Happy with that. My sleep has went back to normal and anxiety is less and less each day. Small steps each day but Iām grateful for them all. Have a good day everyone
Hey all, checking in on day 1401. I hope everybody has a good one!
Chubby tabby 
Day 101 AF
So, Monday is blood pressure check morningā¦ well, first thing this morning before I do at 6:30am is open door to let dogs out, soon as I do, Lo and behold an RCMP cruiser is on our private lane and pulling in my drivewayā¦ holy shit!!
First thing she asks after good mornings if this is my sonās homeā¦ can you say petrified?!?!
Fortunately they are looking on info about a friend of his that left home from BC supposedly headed to NSā¦ he has some mental issues and was kicked out of his home a couple days ago and most of his friends have given up on him.
Can you say scared shitless?? Not the best time to be taking my BP readings, lolā¦ phew!!!
Anyway, other than that minor heart attack, I slept well last night, am feeling better and will be back hitting gym for superset and some bicep blasts.
Then I need to pack up a shit load of tools for a 2.5 hour drive tomorrow morning to spend two days at the old manās building him a new front deck as heās wheelchair bound and I guess his decks didnāt survive winter and heās sorta trapped in house. He also has massive water under his house that is only a 3ā crawl space that we have to figure out how to drain as heās starting to get mouldā¦ not good when he has to wear an oxygen tank pretty much full timeā¦ I learned about this little trip yesterday. Oh and water leaking in around chimney, that needs to be tarred ! So I guess itās good that Iām feeling betterā¦ oy vey.
Stay Sober TS fam
