Proper check in.
308 days sober and almost a month with no THC and 23 days off the vape. I miss a lot of the vape and the THC but it is what it is. Still waiting to hear from my job application but it can take up to 5 weeks each time as itās government based 
.
Iām still feeling very hormonal and weird and emotionally wild/vulnerable, but Iām trying to let down some anchors to ride the storm out. I will follow up with gynae again before the week is out, itās wild itās been almost a year before my referral andā¦ Well, nothing.
Iām going to try to make it to strength training today as itās good for my mental health. Going to try and remain positive.

Still one of those typical overcast autumnal days. No rain though. Did the groceries - all prepared for tonightās Halloween party. My daughter invited two of her friends. Theyāll go Trick-or-treating, weāll make pizza after that and then a slumber party. A shared breakfast tomorrow. And then Iāll be done with kids and Halloween 
I want to do my monthly review today and start gathering the stuff I need to apply for a games scholarship. Some yoga in the afternoon. The RD meeting I cohost is an hour earlier then usually due to the fact that the US and Europe reset their clocks at different days. This going to collide a bit with the pizza party, but Iāll manage. The girls are old enough to do this pizza thing by themselves.
Todayās picture is graffitti from my summer visit to WrocÅaw in Poland.
Peace and love for life always

Day 656.
Double post for a more proper check-in. Today is the day weāre seeing my husbandās mother. Itās fine. Sheās fine in small doses and my husband did arrange we all go for a nice morning hike instead of the evening pub drinks she wanted. I did say Iām ok putting up with the pub for an hour or two, but he wanted to be extra considerate of my recovery and insisted on a more sober-friendly activity. He truly is amazing and Iām so incredibly lucky to have him.

Such a pity that halloween in not a thing where i liveā¦ Boys are upset, they know it from cartoons/books and are super upset they wonāt go trick or treating. We live in very catholicky village. For example, there was this huge announcement in local newspaper āsay NO to halloween! say YES to jesus!ā. In our local supermarket some time ago halloween themed sweets appeared. Chocolate vampires, pumpkin, lollies etc. Some basic scary masks. My kids loved it! I was thinking holly crap, now every time we will go shopping, they will go crazy on it. But no. It disappeared after maybe 3 days! I bet it was because local catholic community complaints. Iām not religious but I think Halloween is super fun for kids and if you donāt want to be part of it - just donāt. But let the kids have some fun

Another sober morning greatful to not have a desire to drink.
Busy day today. There is Trick or treat event today at the mall where my business is so I need to get ready for that. Buy, candy, little bags, print out coupons, and assemble about 300 of them. The weather is going to cooperate so thatās great for the kids

1542 days no alcohol.
1007 days no cocaine.
37 days no binge-eating.
21 days no vape.
Therapy Monday. We completed this sheet that had traumas, triggers, intrusions, symptoms, and resilience boxes, so that was easy enough.
I still need to take these packages to the parcel shop. Yesterday I did take my recycling and general waste out to the bins finally. I also need to do cleaning because the estate agents have sent a works order for a contractor to come to do fire safety checks on the flat door, it definitely wonāt pass because it doesnāt seal, you can see light and feel a breeze coming through the side and the bottom.
Yesterday I went for my walk with the Safe Soulmates volunteer, fed some water birds and did 8000 steps, my back held up, but my nerve pain in my leg was present on the way back. All okay now though.
Very distracted lately. I am meditating lots still, but Iāve lost all sense of my daily routine, it has slipped away part by part, aside from meditation. So Iām going to really try to build it back up.

And yeah, all fundamentalists suck.
