Day 794 alcohol free
Day 10 gaming free

Oh boy, we have a situation at work :melting_face:
We got 3 new coworkers. One trainee, 17 years old and 2 who know the job, around their early 30ies. One of them is studying near her job.

The youngest smashed this words to the studying one: ā€œYou are studying? You donā€™t look like a student, you look dumb.ā€

This left all of us ā€œoldiesā€ completely speechless. Now there will be a group discussion with the whole team and one coworker who will be managing us. We have no date yet.

But wow.
Iā€™m too old for those kinda games really.

Much love :heart:

Yes, shame on me :joy:
Venting is good for me, but maybe not for my audience :joy::sweat_smile::face_with_peeking_eye:

I saw chaotic drinking themed dreams last night. Today I thought about my last adventures with booze and felt shame and guilt. Ugh never again.

Oh, you are very good at making venting entertaining for your audience here. And it does make a great distraction in times when exactly that is needed. You have a great sense of humor and I like your gritty perspective. Keep it up. The show must go on :grin:

Hi @Jesile, I am sure you have heard this from many other people, but: an MRI is nothing to be stressed about. The tube that you are placed in is snug and the machine makes weird clicking, banging etc. sounds, but they usually give you headphones for that and sometimes you even get to choose some music!

Good luck on the shoulder, I had mine repaired years ago and itā€™s never bothered me sincešŸ™

Second check-in, just wanted to show you guys my tree. It looks pretty much the same as last yearā€™s becauseā€¦ wellā€¦ it is the same. :grin:

Same tree, same decorations, same lights but I did put it up in a different corner of the room just to mix things up a bit.

Been a while since iā€™ve checked in. With me being Current with the wife and my therapist visit/therapist podcast, things are stabilizing. But like most addicts, itsā€™ a day to day thing for me. i know for decades of struggle that good today could crash and burn later. So iā€™m taking every precaution day in and day out to work on my mental. Iā€™m focusing on dropping 70 lbs by next december. For me, itā€™s a Self Love journey. Iā€™m loving the process and focusing on not self sabotaging my future with self centered thinking, more emphasis on family, focus, and my spirituality. ODAAT. Hope everyone is having a great day.

Day 1446,

Message is out to her to have contact soon. Gonna end it, she is evading me or might be caught up in things. She was listening to some stuff before she started to attack AA or me in general. Of course she didnā€™t see it as that :man_shrugging:. And started to give very strong opinions on a lot of matters. But what really triggered was that she commented on the movie I did put on for myselfā€¦.the latest Godzilla :rofl:. She has a history with weed (pain issue). She was listening to ā€œSuper Soldier Talkā€ on YouTube, she covered her phone when she noticed I saw what she was listening too. She changed due to that in my opinion. I donā€™t wanna offend anyone, I myself can be intrigued by a discovery series about alien life. But this was going in the direction of obsession and kind of brainwashed mood. Open to a discussion on this matter :alien:, as long as it stays earthy. End of rantā€¦.so f*cking painful to let someone go I love, but itā€™s again out of self-care. Estonished how many women are/were abused (she had a history in that too) in some kind of way. I canā€™t save her like no one could save meā€¦ā€¦:disappointed:

Seriously thinking of becoming a hermit.

A good sober 24 hours.
