Day 893
Good afternoon friends 
Today has been decent. Didnt do too much but still enjoyed the day. Got paid and wanted to spend a little money on myself since i had some extra cash to play with. So my son and I went for a bus ride to the supplement store. I got myself a few things 
An EAA supplement, protein powder, preworkout, a protein bar, and powdered protein peanut butter. Excited to give everything a try!
Now just going to begin supper. We are having nachos. Yummm! Hope everyone is having a good day so far!

@JazzyS Yes I appreciate this so much. I find that its so true as you get older you just care less. And amen to seeing who is truly there for you. It is hard to have to go through that during difficult times, but thats when your people show up and the rest do not. It has been challenging to learn that in life through the loss of my sister; but I am also embracing it as well. Best I can. But yes, just wanted to say thank you for everything you wrote. 
Oh my I am tired. I wanted to read and connect more here with other peoples posts but its very busy right now. My dad is supposed to have my nephew, but some important work things came up and his family wouldnt help. So he drove him out here and now hes at our place, and his care is a lot. I am so happy he is here, and I have managed to find a carer who can come be his 1-1 during our daughters birthday party or else it would be impissible.
Just wanted to check in. Still sober just busy as hell with these 3 little ones. I love my nephew to bits and am also glad hes here for his cousins birthday xo.

Day 103
Peru trip is going well, just has been really exhausting so far. Tonight isnt going so well, just some really inconvenient and unfortunate circumstances but I know everything will be okay. Lind of just looking forward to going home but this is a two week trip and this is only the second day lol. Feeling lonely even though I’m with two friends. Doors were slammed which was triggering and made me feel even more alone. But everyone is just in a crabby mood which i dont blame them because some stupid shit happened and its effected our entire night lol. Just really missing the comfort of my own home and feeling really uneasy. Hope everyone is doing well.

Checking in 1 MONTH sober 
Today was a great day. I finally slept good last night and woke up happy and headache free. Got in a great workout before work and had the smoothest shift I’ve had all week.
As I reflect back on the last month, I realized I’m analyzing every little thing about myself. Not sure if anyone else can relate. For example… I’d get a migraine, or feel fatigued, or feel irritable. I found myself questioning if it was a result of my body adjusting to recovery or if it was just the same normal symptoms of already known diagnoses. It could be in my head or it could honestly be a combination of both. I don’t see it as a bad thing though. It’s an interesting thing to be so self aware and in tune with noticing all the changes my body is going through. I’m acknowledging how my body is feeling and validating all the reasons why it may be feeling that way. I feel like I’m not describing it as well as I’d like to, it’s hard to put into words, but I appreciate you all for taking time to read my thoughts! Sending all my love and support sober friends

@soberwalker Sorry to hear about the damage the leak has caused. Sounds so crazy! Wishing you a quick and easy fix 
@chase.e.u 123 days – love the sequence. WOW – such a cool revelation! Love your phrasing here. Thank you for the reminder that life is life and we are learning of healthier ways to deal with it.
@kareness Oof our minds can be scary at times. You are putting in your full effort at work and that is all anyone can expect. Getting sucked into the what if’s and what could be’s will be draining and catastrophic like you said. Glad you are getting past this thinking. Sending positive happy vibes your way!
@noshame Grateful that you found out now and are no longer living an addicted lifestyle – you can stop the progression and keep your teeth healthy from this point forward. We really do cause so much damage to our bodies when we are active in our addictions. Don’t even realize all the life long harm that we inflict. ODAAT
@lance Yeah day 2! And @ncgolfer yeah to day 3! – Great to see you checking in – keep working the recovery and stacking up the days!
@lighter Oh I hope you enjoyed the food trucks – the music and the new people. Sounds like a good evening
@Jules000 those are some happy smiles – glad you are having a good day with your sister
@justKaitlin YEAH 1 month 
The body detoxes and heals at different intensity and time frame for each of us. I did go through major fatigue and irritability. Still have off days but I know that years of damage can’t just be overturned overnight. It is getting better every day. Glad to hear that today was a good day for you! Waking up with out a headache is magic Keep going strong in your recovery
@Butterflymoonwoman cool haul! you will have to give us a review of the powdered pb - i’ve never heard of such a thing and am curious too on how to use.
Checking in on Thursday night
582 days free of alcohol and weed
997 days free of cigarettes
Been a bit of rough day but managed to make it through. Grateful to be in bed now and feel like I will be in la la land soon enough.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening! Sending you all so much love

I’ve been doing the same thing for the past 62 days. Constantly analyzing my body and mind. I have been going to the gym like crazy since I became sober and I figured that, without the extra alcohol calories and all of the running on the treadmill and lifting weights, I would look like 1980’s Arnold Schwarzenegger by now. Sadly that has not yet happened.
