On a rollecoaster. Last night total nightmare, start of this day almost ideal though if I overlook hangover and all those feelings related to relapse which was totally unnecessary. Back on track and appreciate all of your support sending

Happy Hump Day!
Its a stormy day here in Chicagoland. Add the fact that its also spring break and that probably means not many people are showing up to class today.
Time to force myself to get out of bed. Coffee!!!
MAKE it an awesome day my friends!!

Early morning check in
1144
Its 5am here and im just waiting for my son to wake up for school. I ended up getting a call last night at 940pm (20min before my sons overnight nurse was supposed to arrive), saying that she couldnt come in due to car issues. So i ended up having to do the overnight. At least it will be only 1 night.
Plan for the day is to still go to the gym, then the bank, and then home for self care and a nap. Thats really it. Hope everyone enjoys their day! ODAAT

Thank you Jazzy. No sooner than I replied my fiancĆ© decided to pick an argument (right before my morning meeting) so it was a day but weāre fine. I tend to have this RBF a lot more than I intend (especially when all my energy goes into not going off the deep end) and after awhile he starts thinking Iām mad or disappointed with him. Long story short I made it through. Hopefully today is better lol Thank you again dear friend

Checking in on whatever day it is, I think close to 380.
I took today off work and went to the museum. I got some good video for my history Facebook page. I need to record my latest podcast episode too but I didnāt put that stress on myself today, as today was about relaxing and having some time to myself.
Good day to take off as it poured down rain. In my job we canāt work in the rain.
My goal is to be doing war history work full time, whether that be content creation or working at a museum. Iāve got almost everything I could ask for, but I want to be happy and content at work now.

First 24 hrs. Absolutely exhausting to start over, always a challenge to pump the breaks when I use weed. Yet, as long as 'm breathing, I have to work my way to stopping.

Day 67
Much brighter outlook today. Not sure why I was so annoyed by everything yesterday, but it passed without any negative results.

Morning, all. I am still dumbstruck. I havenātbeen able to do anything. Not even make coffee. And this flu is kicking my ass. I suspect thatās what Cristina had before it moved to her lungs. Anyway, Im still here. Not drinking. Not doing much of anything.

@tailee17 Is it time? 400 days? Whoohoo ā you are crushing it girl! Keep up the amazing work
@sarahbear your job is stressful and emotionally charged. I can only imagine how busy it can be but do remember to take care of you. Hope you managed to get some good sleep last night
@mira_d glad the meeting was solid ā sounds promising. 
@madds Great work on your sober time. Whats going on today (sorry if I missed it in one of your posts)? Hope the worry subsides and everything goes smoothly.
@just_laura OOH that would piss me off too. A girlfriend of mine found out that she had been paying the electric bill for 4 units in her building as she was getting ready to leave. It was insane what the landlord had done to cover this up. Sorry your daughter is feeling so ill. The school would have sent me home back in the day for a temp like that. I would imagine that is still the way now ā not sure why your school kept her (a ā she is feeling shitty and b- she could get everyone else sick). Hope the sleep did heal 
@bunto glad you are better ā You arenāt alone. We have all put ourselves in messed up emotional / physical situations. Lean on us when you need. It does get easier Glad you are back on track and working on your day 1.
@dustysprungfield Was just thinking of you the other day. Good to see you still chugging along with us. Sorry the anxiety is so high. I wish you luck in finding the mindfulness podcasts and soothing yourself. Hope the upcoming stuff goes smoothly for you
@timetochange Ah -that makes sense. Yes ā finding that balance is important. I too tend to overwhelm myself a lot (most of the time it is unintentional). Hope you find that good pace
@justkaitlin Sorry to hear about your detox. Sounds draining and scary. Just happy that you did find your way back and are on day 3. Welcome back Kaitlin
Great to hear ā glad all went well with the fast

@cr84 sorry to hear about the argument. That does suck ā I know I ran sooooo HOT in early sobriety. The smallest thing would send me reeling. Good for you for not letting it ruin your entire day. I do hope you have a fantastic day today
@solareclipse Glad to hear of the brighter outlook today. It is hard to see during the storm but we have to remember that it does pass. Have a wonderful day!
@mxelle Yeah to you for not giving in ā you are back and pushing forward. Should be proud of yourself for that. Here to support you in whatever way you need ODAAT
@ts66 Oh Iām so sorry friend. Please do take care of yourself. Do you have someone around to look in on you? I do hope the flu runs its course and you donāt have to deal with any other issues Sending comfort and hugs your way
Checking in on Wednesday morning
I did not sleep much if at all last night. SO grateful the coffee is strong and perfect today. It is rainy and stormy today. I have a fairly packed day so need to get going. Hope the energy level lasts LOL.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

Thank you Jazzy, I did get some rest and with some coffee in my veins im rready! Also i love the short hair from the selfie thread 
Quick morning check in on day 30! I am relieved to have reached this milestone for the second time this year. I know I need to be extremely vigilant for the next week and have sober plans in place for Saturday and Sunday. I will also make a point to pick up a 30 day chip before the weekend, I think having a physical reminder will be helpful to me.
Thanks everyone for helping me get this far and continyed support after my relapse
