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. Itâs 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 itâs the unpredictability. âWill 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?!â And itâs not like these are unreasonably uncommon âwhat ifsâ here. Odds are you will experience one, if not all. So Iâm glad yours went well 
Congrats on 22 months

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

Have to work onsite for next 3 days with socialization events, örghs. To be honest the last action was inspiring and opening my mind. So I will try not to be to anti!

*Day 2225 
Had a good day at work yesterday and I slept well so thatâs a big win for me because I was struggeling with both last 2 weeks.
Miss my walks and counting down towards my hospital appointment. 9 days to go, it doesnât sound as much.
Today? Having the day off. Going to see a friend at a tearoom and going to the cinema afterwards. Looking forward to it.
Have a good day ore night all

That is a crazy list of what ifs and so right on! You are rightâŠall of these weighing on the mind are so daunting and make a âsimpleâ task like a phone call so horrific. Sorry about your unsuccessful oneâŠhope it gets sorted without too much hassle.
I totally was the same way with no following through with weird stuff on the body. Not so much asy more. Honestly, not sure which way is more therapeutic lolâŠone way it could be something and the sooner you get it checked out the better and on the other hand ugh!!! You are stressing over everything and the body is so strange so itâs always doing something weird 
. Hopefully yours is nothing serious and you will get it checked out if itâs stays persistent.

Day 647.
Well, this morning Iâm feeling irrationally angry. Last night I was feeling teary and filled with anxieties. By irrationally angry, I mean Iâm upset that my husband refuses to let me steal towels from the hotel. Yes, stealing bad. But the towels at my father-in-lawâs were bought in the fucking 70s, probably the 1870s. Iâm anxious about staying there because the room is tiny, the telly in the living room is always playing the news, so I avoid sitting there because the news gives me anxiety and I donât have enough Lyrica pills on me to deal with thar, and the whole place is cluttered to fuck.
We did all the fun stuff related to the trip already and now Iâll be stuck in a little middle-of-fucking nowhere village for weeks. And I just wanna go home. Plus, I canât afford to travel to meet my best friendâs baby this weeks, which is really fucking upsetting.
Ok. Rant over. Deep breath. Iâm fine. Everything is fine.

Therapy was rough yesterday. We did a timeline of all my traumas. I didnât even mention all of the ones that have a lesser impact on me these days, there wouldnât have been time. Itâs somewhat easy to clinically state the facts, but going back through my life and having a second therapist state that there has never been anyone in my life that loved or cared about me, it hits pretty hard. She said sheâs surprised I made it through and that there must be a huge amount of strength in me. I donât feel strong. I owe my life to my cats, they keep me alive everyday.
The positive is that I didnât have the urge to binge when I got home. I just wanted to catch-up here and meditate. Didnât get around to catching-up here til now, but did meditate lots.
The feelings caught-up with me a bit and I felt depressed last night. Had a slight urge to binge, but it was easy enough to ignore. Fell asleep fairly early and woke up after the shops had closed. Then I spent the next hour debating with myself over whether to order or drive to get a particular takeaway, because I heard they are currently doing an item that hasnât been available since 2015, but only for a limited time. I came to my senses though, so all is well.
I managed to unpack the deliveries on Sunday, and yesterday I took all of the recycling to the bins. I still have the catsâ supplies delivery to unpack so thatâs todayâs task.

@Amy30 Hey girl, I feel you
Whenever I visit my family they have the telly running 24/7 in the only space you can actually spend any reasonable time in, if you donât want to freeze. Depending whom I visit I will get: religious nuts, anti religious extremists, the âdrive me crazyâ news cycle, or a mix of any of these. Add to that cats I am allergic to, and you get the picture. I try to take as many walks outside as I can. An investment that I have found priceless was noise-canceling headphones. I put them in, and turn on some soothing sounds, or a podcast, guided meditation, etc. and the telly becomes just background noise.
I hope you can find some way to disconnect from the crazyness around you and to ground yourself.
@Chevy55 I hope your hand gets better soon! Sending healing vibes 
@SoberWalker Sending boat loads of healing vibes. May your foot recover quickly, may you be able to walk your butt off again soon 
@Mira_D Congratulations 
on the new job. Sounds like a very exciting new chapter of your life!
@Heath We are sobriety twins! Congrats Ewan!

73 dairy

Today marks eleven months sugar freedom and with that the start of my recovery journey. I would have never made it without all of you here. Thank you so much for being here
My daughter had a migraine episode this night, but the meds and a good sleep worked their magic and she is up and about. Iâm slightly hoping the new meds are starting to work.
The sun is up and making life easier. I did my morning yoga and meditation, did the groceries for today. I hope to get some work on my game done today. But we also need to get the flat in some order. I want to do some nice restorative yoga in the afternoon and indulge in watching anime tonight.
Todayâs picture is a raw amber deposit from the bronze age I saw at the archeological museum last week in WrocĆaw.
Peace and love for life always
