@Thirdmonkey Congrats on the new job! Sounds like some great perks 
I feel that 
576
Had a slow morning at home, only bc I knew tonight would be crazy. It wasnāt even that busy, just horrible scheduling. One busser was scheduled, who our boss forgot canāt work Fridayās soooā¦no busser. I was supposed to be training but she ended up bussing for us, which was super helpful. Except the same thing happened to her last nightā¦too busy to train. Never has this job been so consistently chaotic. Never. Our manager shirks her work onto the 3 underling managers (which btw, never existed before her), but makes it impossible for us to do it. How am I supposed to look over the entire dining room while Iām in and out of the kitchen taking care of multiple tables?! That alone is a challenge when you have to bus too! Plus 2 brand new guys(literally today) working the kitchen line alone, while chef served the 100+ event alone! So over it tonight 
Going back in the AM, to work alone!
My bodyās in so much pain, especially my neck again, but I know itās bc my mind isnāt relaxed. I really need some me time(where Iām not just laying on the couch). Time that isnāt rushed for some self care. Iāve been slacking on that for sure. For now, I should eat something and get to bed. Goodnight

Awesome Saturday workout. Weighed in at 91.4kg down from 116.3 in February.
I have signed up for the 5th year running to raise funds for The Black Dog Institute to help with funding for Mental Health Services. I have committed to walk 100km during the month of October and raise funds during that period. Feeling great.

Thatās great Scott! And heaving a beautifull beard is a āmustā in that branch too, at least in the Netherlands that is 
Congratulations

*Day 2187 
A big part of my life is being active.
I have an active job being on my feet all day, I walk a lot in nature and I crossfit.
But when you canāt do all that because of an injury and your in pain all day it affects my mental state as well. I kept working. I managed with enough painkillers and enough breaks so I could sit for a while.
Iām not a type that sees a doctor regually. If I can fix it myself ore wait for a while to let nature do itās āthingā I do so. With this feet injury I waited 1 week and decided to see a doctor. Then prosponed the apointment because I saw some improvement and waited for another week. Yesterday I finally went and got home with a bag filled with strong painkillers and pills that work against inflammation. They make me a bit groggy. But finally after more then 2 weeks of pain I can stand on my feet again instead of waddling in pain. Thatās a big win!
Today? Work 
And tomorrow my holiday finally begins! 2 weeks in France! This time not a active holiday doctors advice was to rest, so got myself a pile of books.
Have a good day ore night all TS people!

Happy Saturday sober pals.
Checking in with 899 days. Thereās a sober gathering tonight with dancing, drinks and food. Iām looking forward to it. I donāt feel the best but I think this might help pick me up.
Iāve been pretty consistent with my health and fitness goals but Iāve been isolating myself a lot. Just too tired to connect with others outside of family and work. And the more I put it off, the less I want to see others.
Itās not great. Iām going to try work on this.
Have a wonderful Saturday guys x

Last full day of our little trip has just started. Looks like a beautiful autumn day ahead. Let us all make the best of it. Sober and clean or nothing would come of it. Much love and healing to all who are hurting in one way or another.

I totally agree with @RosaCanDo And the honeymoon period is over for your sobriety too, probably. It kinda sucks that all these things are happening at the same time, or maybe they all have a knock on effect on each other and that is why they are all happening at the same time. Anyway, this where using your tools is the most important. You are smart enough to notice and label what is going on, now time to act proactively to keep yourself on the sober path. You know what you have to do, we are all here to listen and support.

enjoy your time in France 
@Alycia have a great time tonight 
1495 days no alcohol.
960 days no cocaine.
475 days no vape.
0 days no binge-eating.
Therapy was hard yesterday. It was highlighted that apart from with my mum, who passed away when I was 8, I havenāt had a single healthy relationship with anyone, not family, not caregivers, not partners, not friends, for the rest of my life. Because of that, I have internalised a lot of the abuse and neglect from these other relationships, and that is affecting the way I relate to myself and other people now.
After two weeks of no control whatsoever, and finishing the ādefeat your cravingsā audiobook, I have made a committment to myself that I will not binge again. I just have to get past the initial sadness and depression that appears when I first stop āfeedingā the addiction (binge-eating).
Today is the monthly Survivors support group, so I will be attending that, and doing my usual daily routine things.
Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends.

- Canāt wait to get away on Wednesday, the ocean is calling me. Will take my wetsuit (itās freezing here already) and dry robe for some sea swims in the tidal pools there. Also planning a 16km walk of another section of the coast path between Ramsgate and Margate. Iāve already done most of this route before, but planning to extend it in reverse, catching the Ramsgate to Broadstairs leg at low tide to walk the beach section. We have an apartment directly on the seafront and Iām excited to cook fresh fish, and just unplug completely. Today, Iām tired from a very late night for me, so cancelled my cardio classes today. I think we will drive out to a spot to walk in the sunshine.

Sounds like I will never drink again. It never worked for me. Not even that I wonāt drink tomorrow. I hope you know what I mean. The only way that works for me is finding new tools to better cope with my feelings. To learn identifying my needs, acknowledge them.
Also telling people about how I feel and that I am currently thinking about drinking, binging or whatever helps. But for this I had to be honest to myself as well that most of the times I just fucking wanted it. And telling someone about it who possibly wanted to help me was no option anymore.

Day 253 AF
Up on a Saturday for 5:30am and gearing up to mow a few clients. Meet with an exterior painter for house this morning and a contractor for potentially building a house on our lot next to our property to use as a rental.
I was offered a position as Sportsfield Technician yesterday for the municipality for which I am extremely excited as working for Parks was my intial reason for signing up for this work.
Things are going well and I feel very grateful for the lifeās journey I have begun since becoming sober. Iām truly feeling happy and grateful for all Iāve been granted.
Be well TS fam and I wish you well in your journey of contentment and joy that I think only truly comes in a sober form and when you accept the joys that life can bring if you let it.
Peace
