@jennyH Congrats on your 1 month + of sobriety! Sorry to hear about your FND symptoms and hope that they have passed and will be temporary 
@laner YEAH 200 days! Great work on finding ways to deal with the emotional hangovers. I too get them and kinda let myself just let them pass knowing at least my body is not also healing from toxins from the night before. Hope you managed a good night of sleep 
@mxelle CONGRATS! That is a huge step in throwing that stuff out. I know it was hard and I’m sure you are feeling a lot of emotions but should be super proud of yourself. Another step in the right direction!
@Refreshedperspective This is the perfect place to ask. I enjoy night walks, Reading, watching tv / movies, puzzles, knitting and baking for some examples. Check out the search bar for “hobbies” or

@bomdhil YEAH day 3. Great to hear that you are opening up more and getting out of your comfort zone. Keep working the recovery friend – ODAAT! 
Checking in on Monday night
670 days (22 months) free of alcohol and weed
1085 days free of cigarettes
Was a decent enough day. Got a lot of stuff accomplished and the main item was making a few calls (why do making important calls feel so daunting and tiring). Glad they were easier to deal with then I had led my imagination to believe and they are over with.
Hoping to get some decent sleep tonight - my schedule is off again.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening. Sending you all so much love

Day 981
Not a bad day today, but i am feeling under the weather. Just really stuffed up. My son and I relaxed all day basically along with doing a little cleaning as well. Once hubby got home, i had to step out to the pharmacy to grab the remaining bottles of antibiotics for my son. Got home at 7pm and now just getting my son ready for bed. Then we will eat supper. Super late to be eating but oh well. Overall tho, I am grateful for my recovery. The life i have today, is a life that i wished I had when in the midst of my addiction. So im always grateful, even for the ups and downs. Only thing i can be doing differently is continuing with my morning routine. Ive slacked on prayer and my daily readings lately, and I absolutely notice the difference in my mood. So will have to start that up again tmrw. Have a great evening everyone!

Waking up for a two day experience worker shift. A bit tired as Luna woke me up early. And now is asleep in her bed again. It’s OK. Time to write my morning page, do my check in here, have a small breakfast, feed Luna and off I go. To have as good a day as I can, which I expect from all of you my friends. Sober and clean or nothing will come of it.
Pic is Smudge, my favourite kitty next to Luna, 5 years ago today, the Hill Country TX. Good memories. Love.

Right?! I made 2 calls today(1 successfull, 1 not 
). I think it’s the unpredictability. “Will there be a long winded, unhelpful robot that puts me on hold only to disconnect the call? Will someone answer or be voicemail? Will they call back 5 minutes or 5 days after I leave a message?! Will I accomplish anything from this call, or will it be a total waste of time?!” And it’s not like these are unreasonably uncommon ‘what ifs’ here. Odds are you will experience one, if not all. So I’m glad yours went well 
Congrats on 22 months

You ever notice something weird on your body but then aren’t sure if that’s how it’s always looked, so you just convince yourself it is to stop thinking about it? I do…wtf 
Today was beautiful! Got some early fresh air, did some light errands, then had dinner at the folks. My daughter’s Halloween costume came in, so she was super happy about that. It’s late now and there’s not much else to tell, so have a great day everyone
