Day 2370. The new job seems good. I guess I will be skeptical as my last job was suppose to be my dream job. The people seemed nice, boss was really nice. Benifits seem really cool. Free lunch after 90 days, paid holidays, 401k. Ect. Brined pork bellies, slice canadian bacon, slice a butt ton of hams, and then slice more “american” bacon than I can count. Day went fast. I was out by 4pm, which is a nice change.

1498 days no alcohol.
963 days no cocaine.
478 days no vape.
3 days no binge-eating.
So yesterday I had my ADHD assesment, and I was not expecting to have to talk about my lifetime of trauma! It took up so much time that we didn’t have chance to go through all of the ADHD questions, so now I have to wait for a follow-up appointment in ‘a few weeks’. After digging through my life for an hour, I really felt the need to binge. I didn’t though.
Then I had to go to the hospital with a suspected blood clot, and I waited a while after my appointment time, then was seen by a doctor who felt my leg for literally two seconds and said he doesn’t think its a clot, he thinks it is cramp, but I know what fkin cramp feels like, and it’s not this. I was very annoyed that I’d been sent there if they wasn’t going to do anything, as I had to pay for a taxi there and back. So my frustration made me want to binge as well, but still I did not. Anyway, my leg seems to have settled overnight, or maybe the pain med he prescribd is working, but I’m tired from being awake until late.

Its today 
38 yrs young!
In my teens I didnt think i would live to be 30.
In my 20s (sober at 20) i thpught 30 would hit me like a ton of bricks. It didnt. Had my first born just shy of my 30th.
3 kids in 5 yrs, and a nephew who I love with my whole chest.
The closer I get to 40 the stronger I feel.
On my professional journey now. Spent a lot of yrs working my ass off in grad school and teaching and it feels nice to be outside of a space I did not fit into.
Sobriety has been a gift I am so grateful for through it all. Grateful for beinf a hard bottom at a young age. No questions about denial. Grateful for AA and the community I found there, and for 10 years of sobriety. I am even grateful today for me testing the waters, and the understanding that even if I could get away with drinking I did not want to be a functional alcoholic. Appreciating that being a functional alcoholic is very diffixult to face. Though I am not grateful for the death of my aister, I know that my inability to function any longer with alcohol in my life is a gift from her. Grateful that I could trust and know myself enough, listen to myself when I felt AA was no longer for me (my journey, as a woman & does not displace the gratitude I have for this place)…I trusted myself and believed in myself, and I am so grateful for a mentor who came in to my life and showed me what was also possible. Then this place, with open and likeminded people. What a gift, what a gift for me to find and I have appreciated how you all have been with me through the loss of my sister and battle for my nephew.
I am just so fucking grateful on this day. I appreciate you all and appreciate the struggle it can be some days. If you feel down, just keep checking in and sharing and building up your supports and toolbelt. Xo.

Hello all, Sarath that looks like a beautiful place to get away from life’s negatives.
Feeling good today, I always do when I know I’m on the right path. Once I feel secure enough with my sobriety I’m going to address the sugar and caffeine but for now one thing and one day at a time. Have a great day all!

Thanks for the update! A little reservation on the excitement is healthy. I thought my most recent gig was awesome until I got fired via text. I thought out of the blue, but my husband said he saw signs. Anyway, it sounds like a pretty cool job and they probably don’t hire that often so I hope it works out for you!

Just checking in. Not much going on so far today. Mostly just back to normal after vacation. Im feeling pretty good, just have the normal stiffness and sore joints. I made time for yoga and a decent walk yesterday. I need to make sure i do that every day. It seems i start out the week doing well, but slack off as the week goes on. I feel so much better when i exercise and eat right.
I hope everyone is having a fantastic sober day!

I really need to figure out the source of my fatigue, its been this way since high school but doctors dont do anytging about it when i mention it. My blood was fine last time I checked. I did a sleep study years ago and they found nothing. I just started taking vitamins again and added some new ones, hope they will do something but very unlikely. I slept 9 hours last night and I’m still exhausted/feel like i can barely get going.
Thankfully I have the day off, I’m just volunteering for a couple hours. Probably going to go back to sleep after that.
