Checking in on Day 2 again after 5 months of Sobriety from Methā¦ If i did it for 5 months i can do it againā¦ Im just in a rough patch again. Need some conversation. Scared to do NA meetings because most here are court ordered and those people could be a bad influence. Have been using on and off for about 2 weeks now.

@Hesmyportion super proud. Nothing to be embarrassed about friendā¦weāve all been at that junction where sobriety seems impossible. Just keep fightingā¦it is worth it. You are worth it!
@Borderline_Billy 5 days is awesomeā¦ great job on not caving on Wednesdayā¦stay strong and keep stacking up the days 
@Bomdhil you are too kind friend. Appreciate being in this journey with you and so proud to see you with 12 days!! Yeah you! 
@NewBeginning1 great to see you back with us Matt and congrats on day 2. For sure you can get back to 5 months and furtherā¦you have the tools and you have usā¦letās fight this fight together 
. The in person meetings do not sound like a good fit-- would an online meeting be helpful?
Checking in on Thursday night
624 days free of alcohol and weed
1039 days free of cigarettes
Made a decent dent in my accounting catch up work. Man I fell behind in the past few weeks. Got some errands accomplished too. Busy day tomorrow so gonna call it a nightā¦ hopefully Iāll sleep through the night

We visited my favourite grower and grocer on the egde of town yesterday. It really is hardly doable by public transport but we made it. It was nice, although the guy in the pic made me think of a better way to spend this holiday day instead of sitting in warm buses and trams. We did get some good produce, and did have a nice walk too.
Today Iām doing therapy. And not much else I feel. Heeding the advice from mr. Pig. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean or nothing will come from it. Love.
@MooseTracks Huge congrats on two years friend!!!
@Hesmyportion Try turning it around and be proud of yourself Sarah! Iām proud of you. Day one is the hardest and you made it through. Congrats! Onward and upward lady

@Sabrina80 Happy birthday 
@Thirdmonkey Sounds like a great concert! Iāve seen them all separately. Green Day definitely can put on a show. Rancid was my fav back in highschool. The Pumpkinās are aight.
@MooseTracks Congrats on 2 years!!!
That made me laugh 
@Hesmyportion You got this girl 
Take it one day at a time. It gets easier
@NewBeginning1 Good to see you back 
You can do it again! Stay connected. I do understand that particular fear of NA. A room full of addicts who donāt want to get clean isnāt very helpful. Have you tried any online? Or looked into other programs? Any change is good

I am loving having a schedule again! My day felt sooo long! I took a walk first thing, watched 2 episodes of a new show, did a sink full of dishes, took a 2 hour nap, dyed my roots and did my nails all before school was out! Idk why I canāt do that shit on my own 
Work was lame, but ended up being great! My brotherās old boss(who owns about 10 car dealerships) came in with his wife about 10 minutes before we closed. Theyāre super nice and never come out to dinner, so I didnāt mind taking care of them. He ended up leaving me a $75 tip on a $80 check 
and $50 to my bartender friend! My horoscope does keep saying that Iām entering a period of financial success. And that my life will calm down after the unusually crazy year Iāve had (Anyone paying attention knows that needs to happen) Who am I to argue with the stars 
Anyways, my stomach felt pretty good most of the day, but itās starting to bother me a little now. Feels bubbly, sour and crampy. I probably shouldnātāve eaten any tator tots the day after my tummy troubles. They were super greasy 
Ah well, it wonāt bother me once Iām sleeping. Hope you all have a good one

Iām feeling pretty good, I think Iām eating more than I was most of the time Iād just drink my supper 
Iām in a better place mentally and physically. I still have that pain of missing it and Guilt every once in a while but it subside. I just remember that Iām not a bad person getting good, Iām a sick person getting well
I hope you all have a wonderful Friday

Day 440. Work is OK. Youngest daughter is off to university soon. My son contacted me to suggest I give her some money each month, which I had already agreed to do so. Even tho. They donāt want to see me etc.
Frustrating but its OK. They have trust funds so they are ok. But I will top her money up each month for the next three years.
Working all day and then its the weekend!!!

Checking in at the start of day 6.
Walking to the bus stop this morning there was some poor soul in front of me, stumbling all over place. Clearly hammered at 8:30am.
Im very pleased to be sober this morning.

Iām here, Iām alive, Iām sober and Iām happy.
Day 191.
I took back my application to get my old Cleaning job back. Havenāt told my husband yet, guess it might be stupid but I donāt care. I donāt want to clean, I want to write.
Going to give it until January when Iām out of Unemployment money. Hopefully it pays off.
My 14 y/o asked me yesterday what happens with you feelings when you die. Heās all into that the soul might wonder and still exists, but he wanted to know if the feelings comes with it, or if you get new ones. Like if youāre depressed in this life, will you be depressed in next life as well.
He has a friend who battles depression so he was thinking about her.
It was an interesting discussion. And impossible to answer that question.
Weather is still nice and warm.
Friday!
Canāt be better than this.
Thatās all Folks 
Wishing yāall a wonderful day.

Today I reached five months no UltraProcessedFoods. I remember how I craved this shit. Now even the thought of processed foods repulses me. Eating fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, fats, fish and grains is sooo much more satisfying. My system absolutely does not want me to eat crap. It wants me to eat real food. And then it is happy, likes to move, to think, to keep evolving.
Eating processed crap I always felt like in a slog, trying to stuff a hole in me that felt endless, bingeing on everything and never feeling satsified.
I am so grateful I am recovering from that state 
My daughter finally went to school today. In all honesty I am still a bit apprehensive if she wonāt turn up in an hour with a migraine again, but I am not giving up hope.
I want to use my time today to wrap prep up for Sundayās party, maybe already run some left over errands. The temperature is pretty reasonable today and tomorrow is supposed to be hot again, so maybe doing all that stuff today is a better idea.
After yesterdayās day of running all kinds of errands I also need a bit of me-time, reading and not being bothered by other peopleās needs, and by the loud world outside. Looking forward to yoga in the afternoon. Not sure about the evening, but Iām planing something relaxing. Reading, anime, maybe a meeting.
Whatever comes I want to keep to the aspiration I shared yesterday:
āMay I find a way to peace, may I love life no matter what.ā

@acromouse that amazing on the five months! Itās a goal of mine as well, but alas I succumb very occasionally to the odd biscuits and ice cream. I live about 80% clean and Iām proud of that. Fantastic work on nourishing your body so well.
