Checking in, day 16 AF. Today’s been a rough day although I slept well. I’m feeling really anxious, but at the same time strong and confident. I got this. ODAAT.

@s_unrelax Good to see you checking in with us! Congrats on your project.
@Chevy55 Enjoy your sauna and massage. The weather here has started to be cold enough I am contemplating a sauna day myself. A natural cold plunge after like the ocean does sound heavenly 
@Tragicfarinelli Congrats on getting through your hair appointment. I somehow can relate how this is making you uncomfortable. I always dreaded the haircut appointment in the past, as the barber always wanted to cut my hair in a female/girly fashion. I was not able then to articulate my gender identity and my need for a gender neutral hair cut. So I get at least the basic pain of going to a hairdresser. Nowerdays things have changed for me, but I totally can relate to the stress such a day evokes. And I am glad to hear you decided for self care activities afterwards 
@SoberWalker Fingers crossed on your doctor’s appointment. May you leave with health and energy 
@JazzyS Glad you can take naps. Some days this is what brings me through the day 
I loved Tom&Jerry when I was a kid 
@Lastry Congrats on stacking those early days 
Sounds like you are having a really good routine for your days. Keep going.
@wahtisnormal Congrats on starting out vape-free. Hoping the irritability is going to lessen soon. Good to hear you’ve got a friend around.

Did the groceries this morning and set up a schedule for my daughter. We went through her english assignments and I will keep an eye on all the other stuff.
I have a new idea how to approach the development for my game and that is what I am going to spend my morning with. Yoga in the afternoon. We are going to go to my ex’s for dinner tonight. That’s about it.
As the christmas season is approaching which in my part of the world means a lot of baking today’s picture are llama themed biscuits/cookies.
Peace and love for life always

@jazzy @TeaCosy Thanks for the encouragement! I did 2/3’s of a work day, that was enough. It was fun though! Would like to work there, hope I made a good impression too.
@SoberWalker Yes, it’s with the same institution I’m already working, it’s a follow up (inpatient) treatment clinic where people come for 6 weeks after detoxing.
I worked there before (but in another capacity), it’s in the neighbourhood I grew up in, it feels like coming home a little bit, but also not quite as it was 15 years ago I was last in there. Actually what blew my mind the most was that it took me under 15 minutes to get there, from inside my home to inside there. And walking out realizing I’m in my own town and just a short bike ride from home. Great feeling!

@Lastry Sounds like you are doing great! Replacing alcohol with something else (at least in this early stage) and hanging out in recovery rooms are great ways to keep sober. About sleep, have you ever tried any sleep meditations, etc? I always thought they weren’t for me, but I tried some and they really help me drop off.
@Tragicfarinelli I hate getting my hair cut too! I can’t bear to look at myself continually in the mirror but I have to keep facing forward so the hairdresser can cut it. The forced conversation is so weird and annoying, but if I am quiet I worry I am rude. Congrats on not vaping for a month.
@acromouse Those cookies are so cool!
@Chevy55 I needed to hear that. Thank you.
