Thank you.
However itās not a necessity to check out the my story page. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it makes you feel bad I guess.
Itās great when it does help. Being sober on the other hand always helps. Iāve started to remember a lot of things I didnāt want to even talk about my first time around here.
Did it anyway, eventually found a psychiatrist that didnāt think I was hopeless. Didnāt help half as much as being on here though. No one can do it alone. And knowing youāre not the only person in the world struggling with this is a nice discovery, because then you know thereāll be someone who understand parts of it.
Now back to traveling.
Itās beautiful here during the winter too, if you go to North thereās The northern light (Aurora Borealis) if youāre lucky.
Our Lucia celebration in December is also very nice.

@acromouse Donāt let my near accident deter you Aga. I just didnāt realize that different air fryers were able to handle the parchment paper (mine wasnāt). I always stay close by anyways as I donāt want any surprises LOL. They really have changed my style of cooking. Sorry if my story scared you off of trying one. I had a toaster oven style that was lovely and easy to use (gave it to my parents when I moved in with my brother) ā this may be a good one to start off with 
@deelzebub WOW I love the number ā great catch!
@iamthechange So much love for you my friend 
I am sorry you are not having a good mental health day. Hopefully you can manage to practice self care or get outdoors for some nature time to help. Here if you just need to talk. Love having you back!
@whereswaldo So grateful that you are here with us and kicking ass with your 45 days. Grateful you are doing this journey with support
@jasty2 Best of luck with the walk through today 
@psychodramaqueen Great work on your sober time. Grate to hear that you are surrounding yourself with support and working to keep yourself on track. Keep fighting the good fight 
Its like the universe is extending a lending hand to make this easier ā hope you enjoy your meeting tonight 
@just_laura and @chevy55 OMG I totally had the doggie in mind too when I read it. Grateful to learn something new today.
Checking in on Thursday morning
Have a lovely cup of coffee in hand and sitting here waiting for my hair dye to do its thang! have a meeting with my accountant this morning and i figured 10 weeks was long enough to live with the grays. I just canāt get myself to go all natural yet. Hopefully someday 
Didnāt sleep well (woke up at 1 and started researching different recipes and making a grocery list which kept me busy till about 3) and really hoping this coffee kicks in soonā¦ all in all its a beautiful day!
Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love.

Checking in on this rainy/snowy morning. Just got my son on the bus and now im sitting in a coffee shop drinking my $1 large iced coffee 
My plan today is to hit the gym and to run an errand at the post office. Do the usual cleaning at home and have a nice hot shower. Even though i actually got to sleep all night last night, i dont feel fully rested. I think it will take a few nights to recover from all the overnights i did. Im actually in a bit of a mental funk about my weight, my eating habits, and how i feel physically. Its really bumming me out to be honest. I sometimes think, āwhats the point of trying when i struggle to see resultsā, but in all reality im not seeing results bcuz im not being consistent. The gym today will help me feel better 
Hope u all have a great Thursday!

- Slow but much needed rest day. Hit an AA online meeting which was gratefully received and heard. Not sleeping well at all, have developed really restless legs and feet and seem to toss and turn all night in discomfort, so Iām super tired again as this is several nights in a row. Last night was awoken by the most gawd almighty storm
lightning and thunder cracking the skyā¦I had only just gotten to sleep also. Hah. This too shall pass. Ordered some magnesium to assist.

Last night was the absolute closest Iāve come to saying fuck it and drinking my really shitty day awayā¦
I didnāt. Luckily I had a good friend remind me of my goals and not throwing it all away.

Today has been difficult. I had a rough night with bad dreams again and woke up feeling like I had a hangover. For a minute I even questioned if I drank or not but then realized I only dreamt about it. I had a headache most of the day and just didnāt have much energy but made myself go out on my hike and do my daily routines. Today is a holiday here so I had off work which in a way was nice but I also was needing some distractions today. I thought for some time about drinking but didnāt allow myself to go into the village where I could buy in. I invited my friend over and we sat out in the sun talked about a lot of things and cooked dinner together. I felt better after that. Now Iām getting ready for bed and hope I can sleep better tonight without the bad dreams. Some days are good and some are bad but I can choose how to react to the bad days. 27 days sober now and Iām proud of that.

My mood is so much better. I am just trying out āRosenwurzā (Rhodiola rosea) a natural supplement good for stress regulating and mood stabilism.
I c possibilities to realise the desires I have about the conditions of a new job. Sometimes we need to let our desires free to the universe and just let some higher power do itās work. Okay the application was needed until here lol.
Today I had lunch with my niece after school. She is such a sweetheart. After lunch she visited my new rooms (she called it my new apartment). Then she did some learning on my couch and I finished my online class. š©š»āā¤ļøāš©š¼
My brother was around spontaneous this morning for a coffee too 
Itās so good to have more family socialization hereā¦
Now just chilling and giving my body the rest it aches for 
Love you guys 
PS: first outdoor pool is open, freaking out!

What a week! So last week I had a friend come over from Atlanta aswell as started a new job and this week Iāve been all work work work which feels great having had a few months off and focusing on recovery. Made a crucial amends which was sooooo much more for me than them and my goodness that felt good - Considering I probably wouldnāt havenāt given them the heimlich maneouver if they needed it a few weeks ago, thatās a huge thing.
Iām going to a big book meeting tonight. Iām so unmotivated to go just because Iām so freaking physically worn but I have to go. Must go! I hope everyone is okay, my posts now will be a lot less as Iām working full time and giving this one a real chance to work out.

Day 49. 7 weeks.
End of day check in. Been a tough day today. Nothing to put my finger on but Iām feeling uninspired and a bit bleak. It has literally been cloudy and rainy for 7 months and itās really starting to get to me. I love the outdoors and sunshine, and this shit is just lame. Not helped by the fact that the weekend is now going to be grey and rainy again, and cold. S.A.D is definitely a thing for me.
It was my first āa drink would make things betterā moment. I havenāt, I wonāt, but the fact that office is opposite a pub (and there are at least a dozen more on my route home) brings a drink to mind. Iāve reached for the 0.0% cider which is really just fizzy apple juice but hey, Iāll wake up sober and it usually takes my mind off alcohol.

I feel you, yesterday we had the first nice and warm day here since last spring. (last summer completely rained away)
Itās amazing how much some sunlight can do.
When the weather isnāt really on my side, I try to do things that brights my mood. And still goes outside to at least get some daylight.
A pair of great wellies, jumping in puddles a warm shower and some hot chocolate when youāre done usually helps a bit

Checking in Day11. Thankful for another day sober. Not a lot going on today. Just blessed to be alive and not needing any mind altering substances to go on about my day or to make me feel āgoodā. Thankful that my family is healthy, we have what need and some of our desires. I hope everyone has a fantastic day.

Do the panthers help or prevent sleep? I canāt allow flabby tab in the bedroom or sheāll bother me. I have a big mop of blonde wavy hair that few cats can resist swatting . Itās not funny! No cats in the bedroomā¦ha
Just sending good wishes for slumberās return. I get it. Iāve been lucky last couple of nights. Sleep well, TragicF

Day 169. Yesterday i didnt do much i was seriously so tired. The relapse dreams have been very regular lately and very real, although on a day to day basis i dont think or wonder about drugs or alcohol even a little bit. I was very lethargic this morning. But otherwise im having a good day. Much love sober peeps. The 5th will mark 3 months at my new job, the 15th will mark 6 months of honest sobriety.
