If only that would happen! Probably the person will pay a bribe but discreetly give the money or uniforms back. I won’t be surprised if tomorrow the person shows up with a sheep for me ‘just because’. Wish things worked differently but I’ll keep making a fuss and keep my eyes on the kids. Fortunately I have a great relationship with the social workers so hope that helps some in the future.

149 days sober
I took it easy this morning. Had lay in, a late breakfast and even broke out some coffee. Enjoyed a nice hike with my friend. I usually take a hike every morning on my own but I promised I won’t until I get the brace off my arm.
It was a beautiful morning!
Then had a lot of chores in the afternoon but was happy to be able to have a proper bath at the bath house. I went with a few friends which isn’t my favorite but I forgot my discomfort once I was in the sauna 
and man is it good to be clean.
I stopped into a shop after to pick up some things and the seller offered me alcohol. I had a brief moment of insanity but it passed and I left with chocolate and butter instead. However I kept thinking about it as I walked home and this turned into romanticizing drinking this evening. I was good though. Took out the paper I keep in my pocket that’s a list of things to do when I get a craving, did some deep breathing, made my walk home take longer and then vented to my dogs about how terrible it would be to drink and how much I hate that I even thought about it. They gave their sympathetic kisses and the cravings passed. So I’m in for the evening relaxing and enjoying the fact that I’m still sober.

Day 930
Morning check in 
Well im currently at work for another shift. Feeling pretty good today (I think lol). My husband got us 3 new fish yesterday and I woke up to one of the smaller ones missing 
One of our other fish ate him so im a little sad about that. But other than that Im alright.
I am pretty proud of myself for not binge eating last night. For the past 2 days i have been eating well and exercising and last night i had the urge to binge. Instead i thoughtfully and purposefully portioned out a snack, tracked my calories for it, and then slowly ate it. It helped sooo much to slow myself down. Normally i get the “F*ck it” attitude and give in, but doing this was enough to let the urge to binge pass.
Other than that i feel good about my recovery today. No urges to use drugs or drink. No using dreams. Feels good to feel free! Sometimes im recovery i havent felt free bcuz of the hold that drugs still had on me (constant thoughts of using). But i havent felt that in a bit so it really feels nice!
Hope everyone has a great Saturday! Hugs friends

Checking in on day 454 AFAF.
It’s been a busy week with both kids getting into school every day meaning that I was able to get on with some artwork. I got an early night last night and had a lovely lie in this morning and felt well rested.
I got a message through that an old friend who was the same age as me has died of alcohol related liver damage. She had tried to stop drinking around Covid times but the last time we spoke on the phone she was back drinking again. Sad news to wake up to.
One day at a time everyone. X

Day 2352. I have been contemplating work…do I need to move on and find something else, or am I experiencing growing pains of not being in charge. The grass isnt always greener on the other side of the fence.

Checking in, 54 days. I’m feeling really good today despite of my “friend” who always finds some ways to insult me. He has insulted me because I’m sober and because I’m a vegan. But I’m not playing his toxic game, I just won’t answer to his messages.

@SelfLove_42 sending you support my friend as it’s hard to do these battles alone I would encourage you to speak with someone if not your sister to have in life support and accountability. It is hard to be the one accountable for your own actions - in my experience, that mostly ends in guilt and shame. 
@Zse what! Bounty makes cookies? Glad we don’t have them here- I would not be able to resist 
@laner way to go using them tools when the cravings and romanticizing of drinking began. So happy for another day sober 
@pattycake so good to see you friend…was just thinking of you. Glad you are still sober and celebrating 13.5 months 
@Butterflymoonwoman awe I’m sorry you lost a fish 
. Way to go in not binging…that’s totally something to be proud of
@Deelzebub oh I’m sorry to hear of your friends death. This disease is so cruel and unforgiving.

@Cynthia1 yes!! 70 days of sobriety . Way to go Cynthia… keep up the amazing work
@MrMoustache 54 days is great friend. Sorry…that is toxic and not friendly like behavior. Glad you are not giving him the time of day. Be proud of yourself and keep crushing it
@Olivia way to go friend…that’s great amount of time. Love the message
Checking in Saturday afternoon
Done a light walk and that is all I can manage for now. Migraine is back. My mindset is still calm and happy so I do have that going for me. Having a positive mindset really helps make anything else tolerable and easy to deal with.
Let’s go my warriors
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day… sending you all so much love
