Itās 6 pm and Iām going to try to nap so I can get up early. Itās hot and Iāve been cranky, but all is well that ends well, and I am laying my head down sober so Iām happy with that.

Congratulations beautifulā¦ Angel number 900 carries a powerful message of spiritual completion, new beginnings, and purposeful living . This number sequence often appears as a sign that you are reaching the end of a significant phase in your life and that new opportunities aligned with your higher purpose are on the horizon.

Congratulations Dana! Itās a wonderful number. 
I am hoping the lesion is benign, and Iām holding you up in prayer and meditation tonight. Please take care of yourself and I hope we can help support you through this wait for more information.

Glad you came right back to us! Instead of saying that you always relapse early on, maybe you could say you used to relapse early on. This time could be different. You can stay sober. You never have to have another Day 1. Weāre here my friend. Do you have a plan? It helps a lot early on.

@Ncgolfer Way to go Sean ā double digits is awesome work! You are not alone ā i had a major craving for sweets. I allowed myself nightly ice cream for first few months until I got my alcohol cravings under somewhat control. Then I weaned off of the sugar ā it was easier to do when my body wasnāt getting tons of alcohol sugar. Keep up the amazing streak friend. It does get easier
@jesile WOOHOO look at you go. Day 9 and pushing ahead 
Sorry that work was so chaotic - hope it ends on a high note tomorrow. Hopefully you will get plenty of rest before your 5:15 wake up!
@mrsslinky One hour at a time is right ā looking forward to celebrating your 1 month tomorrow. Thank you and your husband for your service. I canāt imagine how it must be not knowing when he will return.
Sending him safe keeping vibes! 
Hope you are able to find some down time for yourself to recharge your social clock. I am not an introvert but do get drained easily when around people (especially these days). It is important to take care of ourselves so that we do get so run down that we need our addiction to help us cope.
@scorpn OMG this just gets worse! I do hope that you are out of there soon and donāt have to deal with such crappy management. I sincerely hope they did not use the machine and that no one gets ill or worse from it.
@bomdhil Awe thank you dear friend. I see you coming up on double digits. Keep going strong. I hope you are able to gently take self reflections so that you donāt overwhelm yourself. Remember that its ok to take a break and reach for support. 
@chrisslawek115 Glad you got right back on the sober track friend. Knowing the early days are when you slip up - are you able to set yourself up with more tools / support? Being prepared and having a plan are keys to keeping up on the right track. Lets work on day 1 and keep going
Checking in on Thursday evening
589 days free of alcohol and weed
1004 days free of cigarettes
WOW - I feel good about all that I got done today. I am still super exhausted and not feeling great but i managed some movement, got the house clean, ran errands and finished month end accounting entries and such. PHEW! So glad i will be hitting the bed sober tonight. I didnāt have a craving but i almost mindlessly went for some whisky today as i was going to grab a la croix. Not sure what was behind that action but grateful I did not go through with it and am holding my streak. Now a days as I add on more days I am very protective of them. ODAAT! We do not need that poison in our bodies / minds. We are stronger than our addictions!
Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love

Day 36
Iāve been enjoying the journey. Iām learning that not every problem in life is solved by being sober, but it does make horrible situations more bearable.
On a really cool noteā¦ A few muslims in my tiny town have started a masjid. They rent the basement of a church and do prayers there. So Iāve attended with my kids a few days now. A lot of the kids go to the same school as my kids and they have been connecting. The sense of community has been awesome.
My life is pretty stressful right now, but no urges. All I care about is the good and not letting the one negative part of my life have any control over me.
Work is good, my barbershop business is picking up. Iāve got a week of vacation coming up in a couple weeks. I canāt complain about where Iām at right now and where Iām actually excited about going to.
Have a great night everyone!

I stopped in at about 3 this afternoon to see how things were going, and the ice machine was on and being used. And when I went in the back to ask what time the cleaning company came, I was told that the borrowed store manager had just turned it on and was using the contaminated ice. 
I told her not to sell any more and I turned it back off. But wth?
Purple is the one whoās leaving
Green is the new manager

Good lord! What horsecrap! The new manager needs to step up. Really - that is the response? 
So sorry you have to deal with this bs and i do hope that no one got sick because they were too incompetent to do their jobs.
Get some rest girl - you got an early day tomorrow
