Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes 
I wasnāt on at all this afternoon so it was nice to see them all after work 
Soā¦the chef was fired 
He was the best one since Iāve worked there! (And thereās been alot in 9 years) Truly shocking. Idk what they were thinking. Obviously there were some behind the scene issues I didnāt know about, right?! They shouldāve at least waited til the end of the year so the new one could ease in slowly. Today was a shitshow and a half. Plus two new girls training on an extra chaotic night 
I did, however, find out that my bossās job was listed on Indeed a few months ago but was taken down bc she saw it! That gives me hope. Idk tho, shitās getting wild.
I bit my tongue when I was eating my birthday cake yesterday, apparently pretty bad. Itās super sore from eating and talking all day. I hope it heals overnight Itās about that time. Hope you have/had a great day! Goodnight.

9 years no smoking tobacco or weed
1938 days no alcohol or other substances
Itās my one day off. Windy and wet but hoping to get out for a bit and celebrate my 9 years of freedom from smoking with a little hike. Itās quitting smoking that started this road of Discovery for me. Itās an addiction like all others and in fact in the long run itās the most deadly one, even when the direct health effects donāt seem so severe. Donāt believe the hype. Have as good a day as you can all. Letās make it sober and clean and smoke free. Hope all of you in the American Southeast are and stay safe. Love.
@Pickles Nice to see you, great quote too.
@SadMemeQueen Thanks for the update Megan. Happy for you.
@Just_Laura Ouch! Hoping with you itāll be better in the morning. Hugs.

I feel like there is a line of germs, waiting for their turn to attack me. And Iām fully booked for next few months. I heard when you start working at daycare you are ill all the time. But I was naive enough to think Iām gonna be better, Iām to strong to get sick like that 
Itās nothing serious but Iām weak and tired, tinnitus is so annoying, Iām irritable like fuck! And I worry Iām gonna spread it further, to my kids. Itās been a week or two since Iām not working out at all (except biking to work). I have 10 miles race next weekend and probably not gonna happen. I feel like itās better not to think about working out cause itās only frustrating.
Iām not going to Dutch lessons today, I need a rest. And itās windy like hell today.
So 3 hours at home without them kids 
You know what Iām gonna do? NOTHING!

Iām glad your friend responded in a supportive way 
@Frank68 I hope it went well
@Noshame congrats on the forklift certification

@Mischa84 enjoy your rest!
1508 days no alcohol.
973 days no cocaine.
4 days no vape.
3 days no binge-eating.
I fell asleep listening to an audiobook around 7pm, I didnāt wake up until 2am, so a solid 7hrs! I did try to get back to sleep after feeding the cats and taking my meds, but after still being wide awake at the end of my NLP playlist, I realised I must be fully charged.
Today is Friday therapy. I have my vape relapse from last Saturday to talk about, and a very disturbing dream from Wednesday night, then Iāll see what else comes up.

*Day 2200 
Driving home today from France. Had a nice holiday but a bit boring one as well
Couldnāt do much because I couldnāt walk properly. In the second week the weather was very wet so no more reading outside.
But Iām rested, to much rested maybe.
Ready for some action.
Today? A 4,5 houre drive back home. Looking forward to my own bed
Have a good day ore night all and take care of yourself if you live in Florida! Heared about the bad storm Helena you have there, stay safe!

300 days
Went to the gym this morning and came very close to doing a full on session. Luckily there was someone there that wanted to do a little very light sparring to get a feel and some confidence about it, I took it upon myself to work with them exclusively and can honestly say I got a lot out of it. Not physically but was mentally pretty fun and engaging and in reality was good for my back to just be moving and staying loose.

Day 7 here, quick check-in before work. I am in a very calm place atm, really enjoying this whole process (in spite of the nausea and already looking pregnant). What will be will be, and just trying to embrace the gift it has given me for sobriety, however long it lasts. Cravings are starting to ease, and pretty soon the smell will turn my stomach. What I love about being in my 40s (as opposed to 20s the first 2 times) is noone cares if you drink or not and wouldnāt even notice. No ridiculous excuses this time!
Sorry for the situation with your flat @Tragicfarinelli but your description of the foam party did make me chuckle! Hope it gets sorted soon. We had just a couple of days without hot water recently and that was bad enough, that first shower after was amazing!

Wow, that is amazing, where is it? One of my ancestors was part of the court of Louis XIV and I always thought it would be cool to stand in the places he would have stood, looking like they did. There is a painting in a national trust property in England that he probably would have seen and I got tingles looking at that.

@JennyH Well done on one week sobriety. 
All the best for your pregnancy. What a ride 
@MrFantastik Congrats on that nice number 
Sparring session sounds like you had good fun.
@SoberWalker Congrats on 6 years! And I hope your foot health improves soon. I have to admit I find it challenging imagining you not being up and about 
@CATMANCAM Fingers crossed for a good therapy session 
@Mischa84 I am so sorry you have to suffer through all that germ infestation 
. A friend of mine used to work at a pediatricianās office. She told me they were all running a mild cold through all of fall and winter season. She also told me it gets better with time 
So they still all had the running noses, but did not feel āillā otherwise. Your immune system is doing a shitload of work right now. So as long as you donāt feel like you have the energy, Iād suggest to stay away from straining exercise. A walk, a bike ride are ok. Hope you get adjusted soon.
@Mno WOW 
9 fucking years! This is basically unbelievable. Huge congrats friend 
Have a great hike and bring back pictures for us!
@Just_Laura Sorry to hear about your tongue bite. One of the things that get in your way all the day. Hope it heals ASAP 
@SadMemeQueen Speedy recovery for you!

Did my run. Felt like crap, but having it done is a good feeling. My daughterās migraine is still on. The meds take the worst pain away, but she is still half the week out of school and activities. I hope we can find something else to make this easier on all of us. Having to stay at home on a regular basis ruins her social interactions and her mental health. I do worry about that.
I am going to work on particular scenes for my game. Stuff is coming together quite nicely. Errands, yoga and nothing too exciting for today. I am not sure about the evening. On the one hand getting out of the house and into a different environment would be beneficial for my mindset, on the other hand I feel so exhausted all the time with hormones rocking my energy levels, I feel like I can only collapse in a slump on the sofa in the evenings. Weāll see.
Yesterday I posted a picture of a railway bridge I took on my last hike. Today the same bridge but as a postcard from 1912. It was called the Emperor Wilhelm Bridge at that time. I am very glad this is not the case any more
I am going to try for peace and love on life

The first castle I visited was chateau Vaux le Vicomte and the second one was chateau Fontainebleau. Had to look back at the picture I shared that was the Fontableau castle. Iāve shared a few more pictures at the sober travels thread.
I think I liked the first one the most for his looks as a building and the second one for all the glory inside. Napoleon has lived there so lotās of glamour and gold inside!
But England has nice castles too! Iāve visited Leeds castle ones, many years ago

Well it was and is a challenge! It affects my mood too. Being active is such a big part of who I am, so this is a learning trial for me.
I think Iām going to follow youāre foodsteps:
