Lastnight at my 20 year reunion event was a blast and much needed for me. It was great to come together to reminisce on old memories while creating new ones. I got to hang out with one of my best friends from back in the day ( weā€™ve been rocking since 5th grade) and meet his wife for the first time in person. God is good. I am happy and sober.

Enjoy haha :tada:

It really was a good time. We have a family event today so thatā€™ll be more chill but equally as fun. Iā€™m glad that Iā€™m able to reconnect with life long friends from the past and acquire new ones as I continue down this path of recovery. Blessings all around.

220 days sober
I spend the day with my friend S. We had coffee, apple crisp and talked for hours. It was refreshing to just talk and relax together. It made for a chill day. Am relaxing tonight, hoping to sleep real well and then have a productive work day tomorrow.

Day 1121 AF

Good morning, gang.

Iā€™ve been going to the park for the last couple of days to decompress by back on a pull-up bar. I havenā€™t decided on proceeding with the injections. Itā€™s like putting a band-aid on your pain from what Iā€™ve heard. So, I am going to try PT again. Iā€™ve also had bad experiences with needles. Had a tetanus shot some years ago that left me with a pinche nerve on my left arm. Took me years to get better. Fuck idk what to do. I need a new body.

Had a chill day with the fam yesterday. The boys wanted pizza, and we watched Transformers One. We liked it. I finished rewatching AHS Asylum and got started with Coven. I didnā€™t think much of Asylum this time around. Still got Murder House on the top of my list.

The little man woke up with a toothache last night. Didnā€™t get much sleep. Heā€™s better this morning.

Iā€™m still dealing with a cold or allergies or whatever this shit is. I can still move around, so thatā€™s a plus. Not like the flu from January, where it felt like an endless hangover.

My mom is stopping by to visit today. Gonna finish up the dishes and clean up the apartment. Iā€™ll prolly catch the Chargers game later this afternoon. :zap:

Thatā€™s all from me.

Take care, fam. ODAAT :heart:

Iā€™m sorry friend. I donā€™t know how you deal with it and are still there for your family. I hear ya on being apprehensive about the injectionsā€¦ sometimes the solution actually causes more issues and itā€™s all a gamble. I do hope that you are able to find some relief soon :pray:t4:
I agree that murder house was the best. The last few have been subpar imoā€¦ excited to see them going back to the original cast and mentallity for the new season :smiling_face:

Have you tried replacing your coffee with chicory?? The body and flavor is so similar I almost donā€™t notice the difference anymore. I just like the taste of coffee though and couldnā€™t care less about caffeine so maybe you notice the difference more but is something to give a try. Or try half coffee and half chicory? Iā€™ve also done that when I need to ration my coffee beans.

This has been a hard week emotionally but drinking would have made it so much worse. I would have had to go through what Im going through but also the consequences and mess of drinking.

Today I am mostly getting ready for a business trip next week and going to my womenā€™s meeting in the park. And I caught up a bit on TS cats, pets and checking in threads. Now Iā€™m ready to start getting ready for my trip but my cat Cori is on my lap so of course I canā€™t move. Have a good day/evening friends!

Day 1001
Morning TS :sunny: How is everyone?
Just at work for another 8 hour shift. Going well so far. Was able to tune into a Sunday sermon thru Elevation Church this morning as my client was still asleep. So that was a nice way to start my day.

Thinking about the 24 hours aheadā€¦ my plans for the day are to complete my shift, do some laundry once I get home, make tacos for supper, and get a good rest. Busy week ahead that I have to prepare for.

Also going to get back on track with my eating. I have fallen off pretty badly with that and im not liking how i feel physically. So must make some changes. Exercise is put on hold until Thursday when my son returns to school after fall break. But will try to get some sort of exercise in one way or another until then.

Have a great addiction free day everyone!

Day 17. Great family and friends day plus a gym visit this morning. Feeling pretty good and ready for another busy week ahead at work.

Hosted Sunday lunch for friends and thatā€™s always a trigger to drink but I played it forward and thought about how likely it would be that I would stop at one. Not possible. So I had none :smiling_face:

So Dennis has some bad reactions to the vaccination. His arm is hot, swollen and hard. Painful and itchy. Tomorrow we go to the Dr cause it doesnā€™t look normal to me.
My self esteem is super low and tomorrow my husband friend is visiting us for 2-3 days with her bf and son. I didnā€™t meet her yet. She is very talkative and charismatic. Opposite of me :slight_smile:
This kind of situation are always difficult for me. I have this stupid thing that I compare myself with other women and I always am worse obviously. Stupid mentality, I know. I always feel so small and boring.
Anyways, I hope with Dennis everything is alright.
And with all of you in general. @Butterflymoonwoman Dana, a bit late but whoop whoop, thousand ODAATs! Big thing, proud of you :orange_heart:
Good night, good morning, to our upsidedown lovely ppl - be careful with spiders :wink: Love you all :blue_heart:
