Checking-in with yesterday’s numbers…
Tuesday was mostly uneventful, I caught-up here, caught-up with some meditations, and watched sone episodes of my favourite programs.
I also had a takeaway AND binged later on too. Fed up with myself now. I have still been in a lot of pain from my tooth extraction, so I think I’ve been using food as a self-soothing behaviour.
Wednesday I went to the dentist for a review, and I’ve got Dry Socket, he packed it with a substance thats very spicy and tastes like clove. He said that it will act as a blood clot which should have formed but didn’t. He said the pain should start to settle now, so that’s hopeful.
I also had the traumatic ordeal of getting both cats in their carriers to go to the groomers. I was home with Prince first as he only has his nails trimmed so he doesn’t take long. Then I collected Wolfie an hour later as he has a full groom, because he has long fur and lots of it! He had a few matted areas too, so although he’s an absolute nightmare to get in his carrier, I know he feels so much better once he’s home and settled. I just hate the way I lose Prince’s trust everytime and it takes months to earn it back. He also reacts to Wolfie like he’s a total stranger and hisses at him for a few days afterwards, so that’s not nice either.
Yesterday I had a call with a doctor because my kidney and liver function tests came back low, so I have to stop one of my medications. It’s a preventative sexual health medication that I am not likely to need anytime in the forseeable future so I’m okay with stopping it. I was planning to stop it when my 3 months supply ran out in September anyway.
Today I am travelling to visit my WhatsApp friend, we’ve only met once before, in 2015, but we chat all day every day on WhatsApp, he is my only friend. He has 3 dogs so I’m looking forward to meeting and walking with them too

Weekend! Of course it’s going to rain fot the better part of this Friday. Well, a good incentive to do some necessary house chores. And unwind a bit. Work yesterday was crazy busy. Good to be free from it for three days now. Sober and clean.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean or nothing will come of it. We’re in this together. Love from my commute yesterday.
@seb @Rob11 @Baseline Congrats on your days and milestones friends.
@CATMANCAM That’s exiting! Here’s hoping for a very nice visit with your friend Cat!

I’m stumbling abit with my eating habits I’ve noticed when my daughter is having a bad day with her autism or I’m having a flat day with my own mental health I seem to be hitting the fuck it bottom anyway on a more positive note I’ve booked myself into some classes at the local leisure centre this morning for next week because it’s a holiday today here so I think I’m going to do some gardening which I love it’s very good for my head
Hope everyone has a good day

@Conor80 Don’t be to hard on yourself about your eating habits. It’s normal to be triggered by difficult times. The first step is to see your patterns and then recognise them for what they are. Stay mindful and kind to yourself and observe your thoughts and emotions in those situations. With time you will find a way to change the pattern. Enjoy your garden 
@Mno Thanks for your suggestions about the LF routes. The one along the coast has been on my mind for quite a while. I’ll ponder it a bit more.
@CATMANCAM Once again: Enjoy your trip and your time with your friend 
@GOKU2019 Thank you for sharing your story, your journey and your determination 
@Lefty624 Enjoy your peaceful weekend friend 
@SoberWalker I hope you will share the silver work with us later 
@DanaM56 Moving is always exhausting. Sending you strength 
@Jeanine Best recovery wishes for you dad. Glad to hear physical therapy is doing him good

Did my morning run and send my daughter off to her last day of arts workshop.
Today I want to finish up with my deep dive into state machines and automata. I have to admit though that I love to dive into computation models. My mind enjoys to toy around in this very abstract domain. But I also don’t want to get lost there, as at some point the part of me that wants to create will feel very neglected and frustrated. That’s why I love my work, I get to toy around in the abstract and create something out of it
Some yoga in the afternoon and I’m not sure about the evening. My usual club is closed for the summer, but there might be a meeting of friends from the climate activism movement tonight. Otherwise I’ll jump on a dharma meeting, or just enjoy some anime.
Whatever comes, I’ll try for peace, kindness and freedom

I’m here, I’m alive I’m sober and I’m happy.
Day 135
Rain again, I’m so sick of this.
Forecast says it’s going to stay this way. So this summer seems to be just as bad as last year.
It sucks, seriously planning to emigrate now.
I need some sun. This long as cold winters, the constant darkness and the dark Rainy summers is going to kill me if I don’t do something about it
That’s all Folks 
Wishing y’all a wonderful day.

Realizing you are still at 999! Thanks for sharing your story. So inspirational, helpful and meaningful for all those who say they cannot quit, or say they are down too far to leave the addiction, or want to throw away time that they have.
Alcohol is wicked. You have certainly lived it. Congrats on taking the steps you did to turn your life around… enjoy each day. @GOKU2019

Thank you for your concerning. I have also slept quit a lot because I’m so tired all the time. But this phase will pass.
When my cravings hit, I’ll go for a run or a long walk, watch movies/series a lot. I’m also reading a lot. But it’s quite hard to concentrate on anything because my monkeymind goes so crazy and wild. I will meditate tonight before going to bed. Meditation also helps me. One day at a time.
