Today was a great. I had so many good, meaningful, and healing conversations today. I am truly blessed by the people in my life that it drowns out the things that others may think, say or hear in regards to me. As long as I keep focusing on my side of the street the byproduct will be a better me, a better father, friend and so on. Hereā€™s to another sober 24. ODAATšŸŽ‰

Day 995
Today wasnt a good day. I was overwhelmed for most of it. Tried to use my toolkit to get me out of that funk but was unsuccessful. I feel financially swamped. I got another bill dropped on me today for $590. I have had to pay hundreds for my sons medical stuff recently (which is fine) but then this bill was given to me and i now feel swamped, along with christmas coming up, money is tight. I have had to make numerous financial amends since getting clean and sober (one of them I am still paying off on a monthly basis) and this is another one, so i am fully aware that it has to be paid. Its only the right thing to do. But ill be honestā€¦ struggling with money is a HUGE trigger for thoughts of sex work to pop up. I havent engaged in that lifestyle in 10 years and i STILL think of it when money gets tight. I would never ever do that right nowā€¦ i have a family now and actually have some self love and self respect. But damn those thoughts :frowning: Going to have to sit down and go thru my budget yet again to see what i can move around and whatnot. This will pass, just like everything else does.

@jazzys i havent recieved a call from that lady either with regards to this other financial situation. To be honest, i dont even want to hear from her right now. Im hoping to get thru christmas and some of these other situations before dealing with that lol praying hard!

Looking forward to a nice rest and a new day tmrw. Things could alwats be worse.

If crying is what you need then do it. I didnā€™t cry right away sober and thought it was strange. My emotions occurred when they wanted to. I find getting involved in a heartwarming movie helps. If a sad flick works for you then great. I prefer emotional happy endings in my movies and real life. Maybe some journaling on your feelings may help.

Check-in Day 3

Iā€™m a continuous relapser, I donā€™t know why but I am again here on day 3.
Sleep was not good, because before 3 days I had drunk too much every day for one week, I know that my brain had to adjust the sleep cycle again. Planning to attend an online AA meeting. no more to say and hope everyone doing well!

I woke up a bit too early, which Luna noticed so she came by for some pets. Thatā€™s a good way to wake up. Getting ready for a day of experience work, Iā€™m off tomorrow for my bd, job application on Thursday. Busy week. Going to make the best of it and expect the same form all of you. Sober and clean. Love.
