Yes - although she would totally agree​:rofl:. We’re both aware of how incompatible we are with the other in some ways. But life would be pretty dull if we were exactly the same :upside_down_face:.

I have to wait a few hours lol. I feel it is a lesson in patience whether I asked for it or not. :rofl:

I’ve recently come to realise how important having some buffer time in the morning is for me. I don’t think I’ll do it every day but it was great to sit for an hour this morning and drink my coffee whilst listening to a meeting. My children are both currently having trouble going to school so it also means I’m finished getting ready and so I can just focus on them.

I hate when that happens!! The bigger issue is in a few hours you only get a couple more because it’s all based on your use over 24 hours. I also learned to prevent it I stay away from scrolling through the meme thread too much . I waste way too many hearts when I go there :joy:

Day 2,361 - Woke up very tired this morning - The wife is out of town so my 5 year old slept in our bed and spent the whole night literally trying to kick me out of bed… Lol

Add on Day light Savings and now I am in a major sleep debt.

I was thinking of the early days of sobriety and how I was on the struggle bus most days - then thinking of life now, sometimes I still find myself on that struggle bus, but now I am sitting in a different seat. It’s all about perspective; which seat will you choose?

160+ days sober
All in all life is good. I’m happy to be here, in this world. I don’t quite know who this sober person is but I will figure it out.

Checking in! :wave:t2:
I was off today and my day was ok. Nothing out of the ordinary, which sometimes can be good. No news, good news!
This morning I did my workout at home (tabata & punch bag session), cause I had an appointment for donating blood this afternoon, and you’re not allowed to do sports after that. I think the nurse had just finished her nursing school, training or whatever… She had to try on both arms and on the first attempt, after sticking the needle in my arm, she said ā€œthe blood is not flowingā€,… well no lady! The tube is twisted, of course it’s not flowing! :woman_facepalming:t3:
I was very calm and nice, she apologized 10 times for not seeing the twisted tube :rofl::rofl: After that we had to switch arms cause the vein was damaged… Anyhow, in the end I managed to do my donation! :partying_face:
I’ve bought two tickets for a gospel concert, the concert will be in the church of my town. Now I need to find somebody that likes gospel and will join me! It’s a charity concert, I’m sure somebody will want to come! Maybe I’ll ask my mom!
@apes2020 April, I’ve started listening to the book you’ve recommended! I’m at the very beginning, but I can already identify with poor Eleanor! :joy:

Checking in on day 3!

Utterly exhausted and extremely anxious about my return to work meeting tomorrow. I’ve been on medical leave for 1.5 years so it’s all very overwhelming. I don’t know what to expect.

Went for a walk with my stepmum today and am going for another tomorrow morning.
My stepmum did say how much healthier I look and wants to keep a closer eye on me. Dad is still angry at me about my relapse, so I’ve chosen to distance myself as I know we’ll have an argument and it’ll send me spiralling.
Thankfully, I’ve told all the shops to not serve me, so I’m safe from that perspective.

I also start counselling soon, so fingers crossed it’ll help.

Have a good day/night all x
