I fell behind by a whole week on this thread. How the f@#& did I manage that… AGAIN?
Love you all, even if I’m totally useless in keeping up with you.
Pic from the park yesterday. They have some big summer play&fun activities going on during the holidays. Loved that massive sign they put up.

Yeah Dana! Love it as well. In Texas we get the pumpkin spice late August. And we drink it hot. The beads of sweat bouncing off the lid, with palms so sweaty the cup nearly slips to the ground…it’s an annual tradition, 100F/39C but we STILL line up for pumpkin spice lattes on the first day. The rationale is, if we drink fall coffee hot it will cool off in Texas. But it never does. Until October 
. Which is when you’re supposed to have pumpkin things but somebody pushed it way back. Kinda like Christmas shopping.
Haha, I’m happy to hear you’ll get one on the first day too! I’m so ready for anything Fall-related.

Checking in Day 421 AF
I attended another AA meeting this morning. It was a Women’s meeting. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I found a sponser and someone who was so kind to include me in some sober social gathering. It was just what I was hoping for. We made plans to attend another meeting together later in the week. I’m looking forward to making new sober friends.

Early check in for me. So exhausted today, but so was everyone else. I was okay at the start, but after walking up and down the stairs enough times, my feet started dragging. I was refreshed after laying down for a little while at home.
There was an unusual amount of drama today. My boss was on another level. Last night someone told me she said the chef was a ‘lazy piece of shit’ for leaving at 9pm bc there was still to be food served for the wedding. Firstly, he’s the best chef we’ve had in my whole time there and works more than anyone else in the whole place, while she usually waltzes in around 2pm and leaves by 8. Plus he had someone to heat up the pizza that was already made. This morning she blames him for something that wasn’t his fault bc I already talked to her about it 2 weeks ago and she said she’d figure it out! Then, she comes downstairs and tells the bar manager that her bartender upstairs is upset with her bc she heard that she was talking shit about her. She tells me what she actually said and someone in between obviously twisted the words to sound negative. But now, for the rest of the shift the bar manager was worried her bartender was mad at her. We’re all friends so I kept telling her there’s no way, none of this makes sense. Later, after our manager left, they talked and the other one had no idea what she was even talking about! Why the fuck, as a manager, would you go around and stir so much shit?! I just don’t get it. Everyone is over it. She never tries to pull that shit on me. Idk why 
but I don’t care. Maybe she knows I can see right through her. Eh, whatever. Rant’s over.
Happy to have tomorrow off. I should make a plan so I don’t waste a beautiful day. I feel like I’ve done nothing this summer. Maybe some nature trails or something like that 
Hope you all have a good one

@wakikki OOH sun sounds lovely – hope you ended up having a good day. Hopefully you were able to get some nutrition in you too 
@1in8billion I am so sorry that you are feeling so depressed and drained. I see that this was written 10 hours ago. How did you day turn out? The thought process that you have to have it all together or be some kind of superman is just the lies that society has fed us. Do you in your own time friend. It is goo that you are on this adventure. You don’t need to isolate in it – look for meetings, groups to connect with or do reach out to your family. I am glad you wrote this out and shared this with us – glad it was helpful to you. Having a routine is great start and very helpful. I found that a routine and trying to surround myself with meditation (prayer) and laughter were essential in getting out of a depressive episode. Also – please do stay connected friend – isolation can be the worst. We have your back here 
I totally find it great to read my old posts and see where I was then and how far i’ve come in my journey.
@butterflymoonwoman thanks love – it was a great day You are so sweet. Glad you were able to help out someone who was struggling. Grateful that you see how far you’ve come and you are not just surviving anymore. Girl you are doing so great! Much love my friend
@chevy55 Been missing your pics – what a beautiful view Glad to hear that you have such a understanding and won’t be putting up with alcohol anymore. Life is so much better off without her in our lives! I am enjoying the season and doing much better 
@laner glad you went to the doctor and got that x-ray. Grateful its not a bad break and you were able to get a brace Sounds like a real good doc and very thorough. Glad you will be able to do a check up in 6 weeks closer to your home.

@goku2019 Sorry to hear about the bad heartburn. I had to give up caffeine, spicy foods and gluten to get my stomach right again (grateful to be able to gave all of those things back in my life now) – sending you healing energy and hope you are able to feel relief soon.
