1 hour away from day 42.
Iām doing alright all things considered.
My mom finally got the operation after being sent home a second time so thatās a big plus for me. 
I want to be as productive as possible rn. Which is good and motivating but Iām scared of overdoing it.
Mainly because I judge myself hashly if something doesnāt go the way I planned it out. Thatās ego working here.
Iāll try to be kinder to myself while also not falling back into neglect. I think there can be a balance.
Just hard to be balanced when all you know are extremes.
I hope you dear people are staying strong and also enjoying your day.
Have a good one.

Seems to me things that happened in the past are reasons for you to drink. As it is for us all. Now we no longer drink we get the possibility to work on those things and resolve the inner and outer conflicts these past occurrences caused.
Drinking just made us forget the past for as long as we kept drinking. Now, sober, we can actually do the work needed to move on in life, past all the stuff that happened. Thatās what Recovery is friend. Keep going. Youāre doing great.

Checking in.
Was shopping some cosmetics as little gift for my 100 days. Then I did grocery shopping. Exhausting. It was all very intense again (lights, people, smells, colors). Since I noticed this high sensitivity again (due to the lense/glass story) I sometimes think maybe this is one of the reasons why I started dimming the lights with weed when I was 14!
Today I was a bit insecure in a social situation. My mum had 2 people visiting us, mother and daughter in the same age. They were very funny and cool, after a few minutes it was more okayish. But I noticed I am just not that free with new people. I am what I am 
Here is a festival where the central thing is drinking (it is declerated as a tractor fan meeting lol) it is 500 meters from our house. When I came home there was a tractor with a trailer with 10 people on it, singing something like āwe will party whole night, until the sun goes up againā¦ Schalalaā. Lol! I just thoughtā¦ Your sunrise will be shitty anyway tomorrow!
Nice to be free 
Hope you had a good day!
Love you guys

I am a GRATEFUL recovering addict today. My son came home from school and gifted me with this for Mothers Day:
I cried seeing this, because there was a time in my life where i felt like i wasnt a good enough mother to my son. Even though he was well taken care of and had everything he needed, i wasnt a present mom. My mind was often distracted and I didnt give my son the attention he deserved. My son is one of the BIGGEST reasons for my recovery. He always has been. Id always say that I would die for my son, but now i can say i am living for him too

1369 days no alcohol.
834 days no cocaine.
349 days no vape.
10 days no binge-eating.
-Drove to my hometown, to have a blood test and my shot first thing this morning.
-Caught-up here when I got home.
-Signed-up to a new diet program, that is rated excellent on Trust Pilot and has had high succes rates in NHS trials, itās just a 9min soundtrack that you play once a day, and apparently it works on your mind in such a way that you start making healthier choices arouund food and exerciseā¦we shall see, itās worth s shot for me.
-Went out for my walk this evening.
Tomorrow morning I have a haircut booked first thing, then itās the Survivors support group that Iāll attend on Zoom. I think itās time to break out the shorts this weekend, and I love shorts

Hey everyone, I wrote a big post and deleted it. My brains in overdrive and I was thinking you didnāt need to hear that shit.
Feeling ok, worked up slightly from working but Iāve got the weekend off, it will be good to get some recovery time. I forgot my doctor appointment this week which is a bit shit as a could do with getting the ball rolling for a mental health assessment.
I had moments of happiness today, mostly with dogs at work and my boys. The little man was overtired and crying because he misses our dog that died a year ago, we had a chat and he settled down and went to sleep. He so sensitive. The older one, also Dan came for a drive and was telling me his plans for the future, heās doing well with work and I admire his ambition. Iām proud of them both. Both thinkers with a loads of heart.
Day 19, hope all is well

Day 5 
Today was a very busy day and productive and really nice actually.
Too many things that needed doing and were becoming overwhelming I had to just spend a day doing them. This makes staying sober so much easier.
Off to bed to wake up early and try to have a day relaxing in the nice weather tomorrow and have a chill day.

Checking out on Day 126 AF,
Friday night edition.
Survived my first work week with 4 am wake up, and 10 hours away. Then completed every clients lawns, lime and fertilizer, plus my own and two full days on clients gardens. And survived. First week down about 25 more weeks to go.
Even got a gym session in and another bigger one planned tomorrow.
All in all a great week of work that I enjoyed immensely and still dropped 1.7 lbs this week.
Iāll start the entire process over again probably on Sunday and spend tomorrow doing maintenance on all the machines after gym session.
Well, early to bed on a Friday night (I still remember dreading these early on as to being a normal drunk night), and early awake to catch another sober sunrise.
Sleep and be well TS peeps. This life of sobriety is so amazing. Iām absolutely floored I havenāt seen it this way before!!
