My holidays are here. Had to work so hard this weekend that itā€™s hard to be happy now. But it will come. Had a long night, lots of dreams, lively ones but not scary. Food for thought. For which I have plenty of time as I have three weeks off now. Sober and clean.

Letā€™s have as good a day and week as we all can friends. Clean and sober to begin with or nothing will come of it. Iā€™m glad and grateful to be here with you all. Together we can do this. One day at a time. Love from Utrecht trainstation that I wonā€™t see for a bit.

@HakeemOsman Welcome back Hakeem and congrats on a week!

  1. Nightmares all night, meaning Iā€™m tired and tender and floppy boned today :face_with_spiral_eyes: Iā€™m really glad that kind of terror dreaming doesnā€™t happen too often these days, I used to get sleep paralysis and that was definitely not fun. Getting in the gym today again finally and for that Iā€™m happy.

Gym in the morning for myself. Then grocery shopping for the week.
Pick up kids from school then gym for the eldest.
One more day off tomorrow before Iā€™m back to work. Probably a bit of the same old routine again tomorrow.

@zzz Looks like a lot of people had a lot of fun :partying_face:
@Tragicfarinelli This does not happen too often to me, but I really feel with you on the aftermath of a dreadful night. Hope the workout will help you connect with your body and shed the nightmares.
@Mno Enjoy your vacation!!! Three weeks is great. Any plans already?
@HakeemOsman Good to see you back. Congrats on a great start :tada:
@Just_Laura Just out of my personal curiosity. When you talk about biggest sizes of bulk buying how much is that? Like for toilet paper or whatever you buy? Iā€™m curious because I heard that you can buy far bigger amounts of things in the US than for example here in Europe.
@Jules000 I can feel your excitement coming through your words right now :grin: Wishing you a smooth move and great beginnings in your new place.
@ASP Welcome to the community :wave: This really is a great place. Stick around, read and share. Stay connected, you donā€™t have to do this alone :smile:
@Butterflymoonwoman Hoping you are waking up refreshed today :sun_with_face:
@Laner Thanks for sharing how someone around you also opened up about their troubles with addiction. I usually did not talk much about my problems, but I learned that when I open up about my problems others might feel encouraged to share theirs - maybe even for the first time - as they might feel safe to do so.

New monday, new week! The temperature went down a bit. Iā€™m glad about that. My daughter will be at her grandmaā€™s after school.
I want to finish up loose ends on the game today, all kinds of todos on my list, some yoga in the afternoon and an online meeting in the evening.

Letā€™s keep our minds and hearts open friends :peace_symbol: :people_hugging: :lotus:

@MrFantastik congrats on 9 months :tada:

1483 days no alcohol.
948 days no cocaine.
463 days no vape.
7 days no binge-eating.

I didnā€™t go to the gym. I was feeling too much shame, and the tracker kept saying it was busy. Maybe today if Iā€™ve got the energy after therapy, if not, then tomorrow.

I had cravings yesterday for crisps, I ate a lot of fruit. I struggled to fall asleep and I ended up going back to the shop for even more fruit.

I have therapy today after a 2 week break. First I need to shower.

Day 241 AF

I have officially had a solid month of great sleep. No blips or off nights. Itā€™s been a focus and work to stay on track, schedule and focused. Almost 8 months in and I believe I have a solid handle on my rest and sleeping patterns.

Yesterday was a client mow then home to begin digging through rock to get a white pine in ground. I will finish today in the rain to get him in his new home.

I did take some time to chill out a bit in a lounge chair right in my front yard. How could I not when the day was so peaceful and sereneā€¦

Peace :peace_symbol:
