Hey thank you! Iām feeling a chunk more balanced after sort of forcing my own hand at doing the therapeutic things Iāve been slacking on. Going to have to really dig into working harder on forcing the structure and organization until it becomes habitual again. Took a walk and going to go chill at a coffee shop for a little while. Thank you so much for your support and Iām definitely going to return to hanging out here again going forward

@Danwood85 Sorry that today is a negative kinda day ā that shit sucks but is a part of life. Sometimes i just wake up in a bad mood and wonder if it is residual from a dream that i canāt remember. Thanks for your support as well friend. It has been great having you on this journey with us and am so happy to be celebrating your 2 months with you today. ODAAT ā life is so much better when we arenāt tethered to our addictions.
@mamador Oh iām glad to read that you are taking time for yourself! This is wonderful friend - we canāt always be on the go and care of everyone else while neglecting our own needs. Gotta put on your own parachute before you can attend to others. Looking forward to seeing you around.
@Bomdhil Day 9 and you are crushing it. What is it that you donāt trust? Are you able to create a safe environment for yourself where you are not triggered and can keep yourself busy with self care? Only you have the power to break the cycle my friend ā keep connected and reach out for your support ā we are in this together and can help each other on the journey. ODAAT

Iāve been sitting in my shower for awhile now. I feel horrible. I made it all day through school but after I felt terrible. Had to make myself puke bc I started feeling nauseous and a headache next step is sit in cold water. Day four. I guess recovery gets worse every time you relapse. And I see why this is such a vicious cycle. Iām back to day four today. I did hit a vape twice at school and I donāt vape so maybe that caused the headache later on but I feel like 
. Kinda wanna cry. Im gonna lay down. Checking in. Hope you guys are having a good sober day

Long day, but not too bad. When I have to wake up earlier than usual, I know going to bed early wonāt make me magically fall asleep, so I donāt even bother. I did sleep deeply, the 5 hours I had, and woke up ready to go 
As usual, our boss made us look incompetent without even being there. Itās becoming so common, complaints are coming in about poor service. Itās really frustrating 
We donāt know what to do anymore.
I crashed after work, so luckily my daughter wanted to play at a friends and I could lay down. Afterwards, I didnāt feel like doing anything, but decided we should get out of the house. Had dinner outside by the canal where there was a car show, live music, and a playground. Good decision 
Off to bed now to rest up for another weekend

Day 11
No Alcohol & Tobacco
I woke up earlier than usual and attended an online AA meeting. I didnāt have enough time to hear the sharing because I had to go to the office today. I arrived at the office and had a black coffee. Today is Friday and the weekend is coming; I need to stay strong during those days.
Life is going well. Problems come and go, but when Iām sober, I feel confident in overcoming any issues.

Day 2102 
It was a good day yesterday.
Worked hard during crossfit and dicovering I can do more weight lifting then a month before, thatās progress. Visithing my friend in the hospital who is doing a bit better after a stroke.
She has been in the hospital many times and has a frail healt but still positive always.
So if Iām irritated because of my temporary hearing loss I think of her.
It was nice to see Aga and Menno yesterday. Always fun to see the people in real life behind the internet. We had a good time together and nice Italian food 
Today? Well off from work so I go for a walk today!
Tonight Iām going to dance in a club at a ā40 upā party. Looking forward to it!
Just me, a group of nice ladies and music
Have a good day ore night all!

I had a very nice day in Rotterdam yesterday, meeting up with Aga
and Claudia 
. And seeing part of the collection of museum Boijmans for the first time. The museum itself is closed for renovation but their arts depot is opened to public and my visit there was an incredible experience.
Easy day today, do some chores, have a good meal, get ready for my working weekend. Later Holland plays France in the Euros 
. We always lose to France but who knows. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.

Day 114
Midsummer eve.
Today we dance around a fallos pole thatās decorated with Leafs and flowers.
Eat picked herring, spring potatoes,hard bread, sour cream, meatballs for the kids (Iām a kid today) and strawberries with cream.
We wear flower wreaths in our hair, stays quiet to climb over 5 or 7 jackleg fences (depending on where you live) to pick 5 or 7 different kinds of flowers to put under our pillow, so we can allow the midsummer nightās magic to reveal who weāre going to marry in the future.
If you donāt have any fence to climb you can just stay quiet and pick flowers.
Some people also collect the morning dew today or tomorrow to wash in because itās said to make you extra beautiful. Of course because of the midsummer magic.
Unfortunately itās also one of the biggest drinking holidays in the entire Sweden, itās midsummer and Walpurgisnacht.
Iāve signed a petition not to drink today to protect the children who shouldnāt have to be around drunk adults. And I probably wouldnāt have been drinking otherwise either. Never been a huge holiday drinker, itās the everyday thatās usually get me.
14 y/o have Folkdance shows all day, so weāre heading out to Watch him soon.
12 y/o found white strawberries in the store yesterday so weāre going to try them as well.
Sun seems to shine, allergy meds seems to work. So really hoping for a wonderful day.
Wishing yāall a Happy Midsummer
