Day 13 no weed. I’m a little disregulated, insomniac, hungry, but I’m staying sober this time.

It is behind you, Lauren. You can turn the page.
If you are having trouble breaking out of your depression, you might consider talking to your doctor about meds. The best of them help alleviate the worst of the depression and, for me at least, help us put the depression in some perspective.
Glad to see you here. You have figured out and put in motion a plan to change your living situation. That’s a significant achievement.

Hey all checking in from skating practice.
So I had to move out of the arena and cpme to tbe viewi g area because I am getting so frustrated watcjing my daughter skate. She does have adhd, so I feel like she needs more help bringing her attention back but I feel like a CRAZY PERSON behind the glass wanting to scream at her DO YOUR WALTZ JUMP. For some reason she has gotten a fear of the waltz and 3 turn, and is not attempting it but I think what is most frustrating to me during those skills and practice is I have noticed over time the coach plays the least attention to her of all the students. Whole time they were doing their skills she didnt work with my daughter at all, and shes clearly struggling. I thought I was being biased but I see it very clearly and its SO UNCOMFORTABLE. But i can see my daughter is constantly looking to me and at me, and I dont want that either. My blood is literally boiling! I feel like an IDIOT i dont know why i am so mad, but I think its that we all want our children to recieve attention and not be shafted. Also I used to be a coach and I just…have a hard time watching other coaches. Anyway wish me luck on my mom journey bc fuck this is frustrating!
Edit: i DO know why I am so mad. This has been going on aince the beginning of the season, and I spoke to my mom friend who switched clubs and she said I am not the first parent who has had this issue. I need to breath omg I am so angry rn! I wanted to go watch my daughter skate and was so happy, but then to watch the coach not interact with her (a regular thing) but be so hands on with the other 3 students its hurtful and infuriating. I have to breath!

YOU HAVE HUMMINGBIRDS??? AND cardinals and bluejays! You have all the best birds! (No offence to other birds, of course 
) We really need to start a bird thread on SB, it’s too landist (biased in favor of land dwelling, lol) and birdless. We need some wings around here.
@Bomdhil It’s my pleasure 
I will keep you in my prayers friend and I’m sure you’ll do wonderfully. You seem to be doing the right things and you have a sponsor. Sending you strength and hope 
Keep doing awesome!

The best part is that in a 30 minute drive we have pelicans and herons galore.

You live in bird heaven! Please, do say hello for me and enjoy their songs, even their screechy ones. I think 2025 will be the beginning of my bird watching life, regardless of how hilarious my mother and my friends find the idea. It’s so peaceful, no? I just need to learn to keep quiet, lol. I’ll share my achievements in this new and noble (haha) endeavor someday. And I’ll ask for bird pictures then in exchange for more bird pictures 
I’ll recruit bird watchers!!

Checking in with 375 days. I adopted 6 baby chicks yesterday only to have 2 not doing well today. I am trying to do what I can. Life on a farm they said it would be fun! Haha
Take care my friends and let’s stay sober today.

There is a bird watching topic. Been silent for more than 3 years though. Time to revive it maybe?
I love birds and watching them too and saw plenty in the last 2 days hiking and biking. Most special for me was seeing a kingfisher, love its brilliant flashes of blue, azure and orange. Way too fast to snap with my telephone camera though. So alas no picture. None from the many other species I saw either. One reason to maybe buy a good camera at some point.

Checking in day SIX. Have to say thank you to all that helped me get through yesterday, that was a ROUGH one, but I did it!
Slept in way later than I want to, have to leave for work soon, only 3 hours to help a friend out, but damn it’s my day off. Oh well. Here is to another day AF, and if I get cravings I know I can reach out, and I need to do that because I didn’t before and kept “relapsing”. So thank you to everyone that helped me get through yesterday!

Hi everyone, day 32. Major cravings this afternoon, not sure why, maybe it’s because the sun is shining? I’ve been thinking over the last time I had a drink and how awful it was (the fateful weekend away!) but even that isn’t helping. I’ve done so well so far and I only said to my partner this morning that my cravings are diminishing, I’ve had days when I don’t even think about drinking and POW! This happens. I could use some support guys, thank you
