It’s high time to introduce Sint Maarten (November 12) in your community. Very Catholic. Trick or treating. Lights. Singing. Cute. Don’t understand why they don’t do it with you.

Woke up this morning, on day 800-and-something, with a splitting headache. I took a painkiller with breakfast before coming in to work and it helped some, but I’m still achy and slowed-down from it.
Minor thing overall, but I realize that I feel cheated 
I’m sober! What’s this headache for, then??? That’s a poxy trick, body…

Thanks for your replies guys, appreciate the support.
Checking in day 227.
Finding myself in my own head lately so i think it’s a good idea to start doing these check ins again. Gets it out of my head onto paper. I’m thinking alot about the future and combined with being tired from work, I’m feeling like I’m not present with my son or wife. Wasting time on my phone telling myself I need this time to relax and have downtime when instead I should be maximising this time with my family. I’m just so brain fried at the end of the day it’s so hard to find the energy to be motivated. I need to remember that the play time with my son and affection time with my wife will be what actually gives me energy, not doom scrolling Facebook.
Have a good end of week everyone!

Checking in. Not much going on. Doctor’s appointment went well yesterday. Got my flu shot - my arm is so sore today. I’m waiting for blood test results to come back, but I’m staying on the same meds for now. I feel pretty good and no major side effects. Hopefully i can continue with healthy eating through the holidays, but i know it will be a struggle.
An interesting situation has come up with work. I have an opportunity to take another position with the same company. It’s 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day, no weekends or evenings. I’d be at the same place every day, working with the same clients. I already know everyone I’d be working with and get along well with them as my office is in this building. However, it’s considered a step down from what i do now. I would probably have to take a small pay cut. I’m thinking this would be so much better for me in several ways, but I’m still on the fence. Nothing would happen til January, so i have time to think about it.
Well, off to work and then truck or treating tonight. I love giving out candy and seeing everyone dressed up.
Happy Halloween, everyone!

@scaredsmol welcome back and great work on your day 1 
Oh man that is sucky. Sorry your boys can’t enjoy the fun. Not sure how far the next village is- is it possible to head there for some truck or treating (if they do that)? I remember over 25 years ago in England I did a costume thing at the restaurant I worked at for Halloween as it was not a thing for them yet. It was a fun and enjoyable time for the kids to get dressed up and donate little parade and odlf course get some candy.
@catmancam way to go with 3 weeks no vape and over a month no binge eating
@Nordique way to go friend 
1600 days is amazing work 
@Merryshoes ugh! Waking up with headaches is awful (especially in our sober days). Hope you feel better soon 
Happy Halloween 
Oh what a beautiful day! The weather is warmish and gloomy…so damn perfect. We haven’t had wind storms this season so the colorful leaves are still on the trees❣️. I’m super excited even with 2 hrs of sleep. Not feeling great but the child like excitement will get me through today. Hope to have enough energy to do a Costume. My sis just sent a pic and she really out did herself…she is really an artist with makeup.
Well…the coffee is ready and I gotta get moving.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love

Checking In - got some blood work done, never the most fun, but feels good to be taking care of my physical health and making sure I know what I’m working with!
Work is busy and the parents are going to come hang at my place tonight to hide from tricker treaters haha.
Battling with some FOMO, but realizing all I’m missing out on is going off the path I wish to be leading

210 days sober
Yesterday and today my anxiety has been really bad. Like the having trouble functioning type of anxiety. I’m not sure what triggered it or what’s up but it’s frustrating. I’ve not had any thoughts of drinking though and am still working just have chosen to stay in rather than going out like normal. I hate that sometimes no matter what I do my anxiety just doesn’t go down. But I am coping better…I have plans and new skills to use to get me through those high anxiety times. I’m not drinking and realize now that drinking won’t help but makes things worse. I would love to live anxiety free some day but at least I’m coping better with it these days.

Day 351. Woooohhh so close to the one year. All is going pretty good, yesterday was my day off. Tuesday my part for my wheel came and when i opened the box, supposedly new motor did not look new at all. I was definitely upset, emailed the company and showed them. Decided to try and put it on anyways and yeah it was definitely a none working motor. Company was super helpful though, apologize and took action. Instantly put a brand spanking new 4th gen 4kw motor in the mail for me. Which is something i normally would have to pay for bc its a upgraded motor for my wheel. But they did it for free, and then through in a whole bunch of stuff free for my new wheel that should be here soon. So im very pleased with the service, but i am definitely itching to go for a ride. The time with heather is awesome though too. I look forward to teaching her how to maybe ride one of the wheels lol. Eh not much else to say i suppose. Im here, sober and grateful. Oh yeah i did order some christmas gifts for my girls yesterday so got some of that done as well. Much love

Workday late morning here. Big day. I’ll go right from work to daughter pick up, then take her right to swimming lessons, then home to feed her a quick dinner while the trick or treaters start to come by. Then we’ll give out candy together. The temperature will be around 0C and slightly below that here then, so not exactly ideal for hanging out on the porch for long at all.
My wife gets home from work at 8PM - so we’ll put her down to bed together around then.
I’ll try and go for a quick walk around the neighbourhood then, and hope to see the ‘hood Halloween decorations (I haven’t yet!).
Happy Halloween

St. Martin is a thing here too. Especially for the younger kids. The lanterns and the singing are so much fun. And we always get someone on a horse in a knight’s armour leading the parade.
