Day 991
Soo close to quadruple digits!!! Yay!!! Im actually quite excited!!
Today has been a pretty lazy day. I had so much planned for the day and have only gotten about half of it done lol Got outside for a bit and grabbed a Roasted Hazelnut Cold Brew with espresso infused foam to try and wake me up. Not working yet Just going to get some more cleaning done and then try and prepare for tonights overnight shift with my son. We dont have a nurse for tonight (or for Nov 6 & 7 either), so ill be a bit tired tmrw for sure. Not much I can do about it. Hope everyone has a fantastic Halloween (if u celebrate) and if not, have a great evening!!!
Checking in making phone calls trying to figure out where to stay and when to leave but then i am scared thinking about what ifs i just dont know. Feel like i cant talk to no one. Mixed feelings what if wel guess i need to ask more questions before i make any decisions. Like hows much is it to mail my gear or can i bring it on the plan? Get round trip or one way?
Hellyeah!
There it is - 9 months!
Had my first official feedback meeting with my new boss today after 2 months in new job. All is positive plans are made for January (travelling to headquarter) and 2 certifications until march. Wuhp! So seems like I will survive the āProbezeitā.
Some of my international colleagues are learning german and their accent is just making me melt!
I am grateful for this opportunity
I am grateful for a healthy body
I am grateful to be sober
Booked a little individual packed spa holiday end of November
Life is good š©·
If you are in a dark place, may some light shine through. I had been there.
Love you guys
Still day 4, Iām physically fine.
Thatās why I keep thinking once in a while that my alcohol problem isnāt that bad.
The facts:
Iāve already been asked about it several times. Thatās bad and itās embarrassing.
I actually had a headache every day, was very tired and isolated myself.
But it wasnāt just that. The worst part was the night. Nightmares. Thirst. Shame. Waking up again and again.
I donāt want that anymore.
Thatās what my mind still tries telling me after 9 months from time to time. Sis thatās the sick addictive part of it. Silly game. Donāt try playing!
Day 247 Happy Halloween
Started Early and just sat down for a moment. Work Schedule jam packed today.
Will get caught up with gratitude posting later this evening.
Stay sober my friends. Best course of actionā¦
Congratulations on 9 months!!! Woo hoo!!!
Wow 1600 Congratulations!
Congratulations on 9 months!
Congratulations on your 9 month Julia so glad to hear about all the positives on your new job.
Have a wonderful long sober weekend
Day 7.
Dinner out tonight with my business school class. We only met on Monday and have had 3 lunches and 2 dinners out so far. Itās all pretty intense. I could avoid alcohol until tonight but tonight being the penultimate night for this week there were pre dinner drinks and drinks with dinner.
So I tried out my new line āno thanks, I donāt drinkā. Then when the waiter asks the guy Iām sat next to who I have been talking with all week as we sit together in class, he says āyeah, I donāt drink eitherā. Turns out he gave up 5 years ago for much the same reason.
So now these people are the first people in my lives who know me as a non drinker! And I thought wow, thatās really awesome, I never have to make up any stories or excuses with them, Iām just a person they know who doesnāt drink. End of story.
Congratulations my friend on 1600 days!!! Wow!
That is wonderful for you and himā¦ 7 days is great. Letās keep it goingā¦
Day 991
Day was okay overall! My son just got home awhile ago and we played a board game and now we are watching a Halloween movie. Enjoying the evening Hope everyone is enjoying their Halloween festivities
#98 I had to pick my Daughter up from a friendās earlier, I brought my through the city. It was packed with revellers enjoying Halloween. Lots of college kids in fancy dress some the worse for wear.
I used to frequent the same streets back in my day, and often/usually/always the worse for wear.
Iām so content being home now fit for bed and not in that place, in those streets āenjoyingā myself, trying to get a taxi or having to make the long trek home on foot because I spent all my money.
Iām looking forward to a quiet weekend. Filled with family, exercise and even some rest!
Day 3. another meeting. I started to feel Hope again. Connecting is great, I donāt feel so alone.
here in Spain now we are suffered because the great floods and more than 150 people died. No time to be selfish
Hello everyone,
I unfortunately had a relapse tonight. I am okay, safe, the wounds arenāt severe. Iām disappointed but mainly distressed because I donāt want anyone in my family to find out. I live on my own and donāt want to give them any reason to send me back to the hospital where I absolutely donāt belong. I am reaching out to my therapist and will meet with her ASAP. Support would be very helpful right now. Thanks everyone.
