Horrible nights sleep BUT it’s my daughter’s first day of year 2 and it means a lot not to be hungover. Even if it just day 3.
Happy Tuesday all.

I could be 875 days sober today if I had stuck to my first real attempt at stopping drinking. Or two years and four months. That’s a bit sad, but whatever, I’m doing it now again. I can honestly still take heart that at least 750 or so out of the last 875 days have been spent sober. I have 250 ‘days’ but much more than that in emotional wealth. Also, I know people I love around me still drinking their life away, so I’m proud of myself for at least committing to myself.
Need to get out my head at the mo, it’s a very active place! I often feel like if I didn’t think at all, I could be the happiest person on earth. Make like a rock and chill. 
Slept a little better (6 hours) as I used my Loops ear plugs and an eye mask. I still felt two little lumps on the bed making biscuits at 5am, but that always warms my heart, I can’t be mad.
I have double class shortly: RPM with the drill sergeant and weightlifting class straight after with the other drill sergeant. Let’s get it.

Checking in, 54 without of alcohol and weed. But I had to reset my benzos counter today because I took few benzs with doctor’s orders to help me through the worst one. I got severely anxious and panic attacks couldn’t breath, so I truly hopes the meds will kicks in soon. Luckily I still have my alcohol and weed counters

Checking in 888 days free from alcohol.
The freedom I have being sober is one I want to keep forever. It’s the best gift I can give myself. I try to remind myself of this as often as possible.
Have a wonderful day friends x

@Lefty624 Thanks for the information. We celebrate a labor day here in Europe too, but it usually is on the 1st of May and it is a public holiday with everything closed. I hope you get well soon.
@MrMoustache Sorry to hear about your anxiety and panic. That sucks. I really hope your meds will help. It’s always difficult to wean yourself from benzoes.
@Tragicfarinelli Congrats on 250 days! 
I hear you on the aspiration to become a rock. My mind tends to run in circles these days and I sometimes wish for it to just shut up. Enjoy your workouts. I’m sure they will help you with an overactive mind at least for a bit 
@ASP Congrats on day 3. These first days are the worst. And it is such a sweet thing to be sober for your child’s anniversary Enjoy it 
@Bunto People who enjoy cooking are magicians 
Enjoy the good food.
@Mno Have fun cleaning. It’s quite an exercise 
@Alicat22 Congrats on two weeks. Way to stack the sober days Nice to hear you started exercising.
@SoberWalker I really am sorry to hear about your foot situation. Not being to stand and walk properly is a total pain. I hope you get relief 
Otherwise treat yourself and do lazy stuff you haven’t been doing in a while
@Just_Laura Thanks for explaining. That does sound like serious bulk buying. I imagine it’s cheaper and you don’t have to go to the shop that often.
@AZeke Congrats on 30 days friend 
Great job! What are you doing for your sobriety, what are your tools, if you don’t mind sharing.

My hormones are playing rollercoaster again, I woke up at about 4am with the usual wave of heat, racing heart, dread, and all kinds of pain. I’m grateful I had enough sleep though, the episode did not turn into a panic attack, and I fell asleep afterwards.
My daughter came back home yesterday evening with a migraine again. The new meds worked well in terms of pain, but she is still light and sound sensitive. So no school for her. I hope we find a way to prevent theses attacks somewhen in the future.
I’m going to work on the game and party prep for the weekend. There is a start up party at the school for the afternoon activities this year at about noon and I’m going to attend. There was a change of personel in charge of this part of school life last year, and after a wobbly start they seem to be far better organized this year.
Yoga in the afternoon, and there is an arts event nearby I want to attend in the early evening. Recovery Dharma later to chill out.
Keepin my heart and mind open for today

Hope your day will get better as it goes friend. And strange, how come the USA doesn’t celebrate labour day on May 1st

I’m here, I’m alive, I’m sober and I’m happy.
Day 188.
Started to write a little yesterday, I have a plan on handing something in to a publisher in the end of September. And if they don’t want to publish anything I’ll do it myself.
Husband had a doctor’s appointment yesterday,they still don’t know what to do. Now they wanted to give him antibiotics to see it it’s some kind of infection that causes the pain. The authorities wants to get him on permanent sick leave. The doctor thinks he can get back to work on October. We’re giving him two more weeks to maybe solve this problem and after that we’re changing into a private clinic, where we hopefully gets more help.
Kids are back in school, I already longing for the next break.
Daughter is back from Poland,she has spent the night here, and today will be spend going on various meetings with her to try and sort things out. She isn’t getting any welfare money this month because she hasn’t done half of everything she should have done. And isn’t getting enough help. So we’re trying to sort that out. We payed her rent and she will be eating here most of the time as well.
We’ve made sure the new papers from the psychiatric hospital has made their way to the social service. And we’ve helped her to get an internship within the city (you can get one if you’ve got special needs)
Problem is that we might need to wake her up every morning to make sure she actually goes to “work” I have my doubts,but the social service and psychiatric hospital says she needs to do something and try to get a routine.
More meetings to sort everything out this week.
Me and my husband also have a meeting with city hall later today, we’re trying to get a permission for our trunk or treat.
That’s all Folks 
Wishing y’all a wonderful day.

I actually did not know it but Wikipedia shed some light on this for me
“Conservative Democratic President Grover Cleveland was one of those concerned that a labor holiday on May 1 would tend to become a commemoration of the Haymarket affair and would strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that backed the May 1 commemoration around the globe.”
So you see whose fault that is
On another note my polish friends and family get to have three free days at the beginning of may, due to three consecutive public holidays packed together. That’s what I call efficient

@Tragicfarinelli I can’t help but think like that about what would have been my 4 years clean from cocaine on the 11th of this month, but just grateful I lived through my relapse and have more than double the amount of sober days now than before, and it will come that you will too enjoy your workouts!

Therapy was okay. It felt like we were making small talk the whole time though and I felt like she was talking down to me a lot and being patronising, and she makes this annoying ‘Mmm’ noise all the time. When I try to talk about deeper stuff she doesn’t give much of a response, I don’t feel safe then to explore it.
The “fat burning wristbands” I ordered arrived, they came with a micro USB charging cable but there are no ports on the device, I’ve definitely been conned. I also found the identical items I bought, two for a total of £8.24 on Amazon, whereas the “company” I ordered from took £52.44 from my account, despite the order total being £39.96. They’ve ignored all my emails so I just need to forget about it and try not to get sucked in to anything again. Another reason why I rarely go on facebook. 
Today it is dull and rainy. I won’t make any committments because it seems to never go to plan. First though, reading the final chapter of the book I’ve been reading.
