Day 1245
Currently at work, which is going well! Client went home for a home visit so I am puttering around cleaning and doing laundry.
Last night i failed when it came to overeating. I probably wouldnt call it a binge but i did eat over my daily calories and felt sick because of it. Today I have done better and am determined for it to stay that way.
Not much else to say. Recovery is good!!!
Itās taken at my regular route that I take for my walks, itās actually a really nice to go for walks in the town where I live! 
its something I thoroughly enjoy!
Checking in! I had a good day at work, got some stuff done that was on my desk for a while! Weekend starts here! 
No major plans! But to be honest, Iām quite a loner, and having no plans makes me feel good! Having plans stresses me out! 
Today I had a chat with my new colleague, and turns out sheās the same! She mentioned that if she has a plan with friends, she needs at least 3-4 āalone daysā to ārecoverā 
I felt so relieved to realize Iām not the only weirdo!
No sports or walk for me today, the weather sucks! Cloudy, 30 C and 70% humidity, not nice!
I love this idea!! Thank youā£ļø
Still rollin on 218 is a huge deal. Sorry to hear about the recent struggles but may I say itās Definitely encouraging to hear you came out of a marital trial sober. This was always one of my main relapse justifications/ triggers (my wife). Thanks for sharing and thanks for the love 
1 thing I do when Jump ship to new companies is tell myself failure isnāt a option Iām goin on to the next confidence in my abilities and ready to tackle new challenges and set new goal for self. You got this! A sober mind is a great mind!
Thank you I definitely am in the best time and place in my life right now so the future looks up!
Thank you
8.5+ years
Iāve caught up here this morning after feeding cats and coffee. Not sure what to do with my day today. Itās so weird living with 2 teenagers who stay in their rooms all the time, anything I plan needs to be for just me. Itās supposed to be 84* F today so I guess I could go for a trail walk somewhere. Iāve also got some consulting work I could do, a small amount, like 7 hours or so. Hope everyone has a good day today, sober and clean!
Checking in on a Saturday, day 9. Not much energy. Read the JFT, messed around on here a little, watched some Tik Tok. Got another job offer. Thatās five. I feel in my gut I wonāt have another chance for rehab, but Iām terrified to go. I genuinely do not know what to do. I got a sponsor yesterday!! She had me read āWhat can I do,ā in the NA big book last night. I had lots of cravings yesterday and WOW what a good chapter!! How had I missed that? Definitely recommend. I can just do rehab at my momās right?! 
Checking in day 4
Saturday down and Sunday to go to finish the weekend without DOC for the first weekend end in a long long time. Was having little waves of thoughts in and out but managed to shut them out and keep busy.. very pleased but a long road to go.
Roll on day 5
Peace out x
Great work! Weekends are just another day in recovery 
Glad u managed to push thru the thoughts
Day 6. Weekends are my kryptonite. So far so good. I avoided temptation while grocery shopping and I feel strong.
Awesome work on getting a sponsor! Another step in the right direction
Checking in. Life is so much better sober. I have my mum visiting me and we did a nice walk and ate outside thai food which was delicious. Good night now.
Day 1690..
Is it just me and what im noticing or are so many people going through a lot of life changes within the last 4 months?
I feel so off and different overall, never felt this way.
Anxiety.
Changes.
Energy swings.
A desire to push not good things away.
New jobs/careers.
But, it also feels like so many are going through it.
Day 3 sober:
Starting to feel better. Looking forward to the future.
Checking In Day 16
"I know Iām blessed today. I know I got work to do, and I know that itās all gonna be okay in the end. And if itās not okay, itās not the endā
We gonna keep stacking those days! 
@canadiangirl Iām sorry for all the trauma coming up at the moment. It can be a lot to deal with. We are here if you need to talk it through. The ājust for funā threads have gotten me through some rough patches. Great to engage there and still be linked to our sober community for support. Grateful you do not have any desire for drinking 
@sarahbear happy to hear that it went better than anticipated. Love that you treated yourself to nice bath stuff 
What a lovely way to work on self care 
@madds Great to hear from you. Glad you are getting back on a routine as it helps us stay on path when we get surprised by the triggers / urges. I do think you are making the right decision work wise for yourself. I am excited for your next chapter. Grateful for your sobriety journey and how far you have come.
@mischa84 Nothing shameful about not having your license. I know everyone was getting their licenses at 16 but for me I just didnāt want to drive. I waited for a few years and only did so cause it was a necessity for me. Thinking of it as something that āeveryoneā does and that you āshouldā have done sooner in life gives this exam a power and creates anxiety. The exam itself is a source of anxiety. I know that I for some reason always get stressed when I need to take a test. Donāt let the fear of the test scare you ahead of time. Enjoy those cherries 
@just_laura Sorry friend ā the late nights are crazy. Hope you are able to get back to a good sleep schedule soon. Having your water shut off without warning is such bs ā sorry for this disruption. Hope you were able to get a restful nights sleep
@lile01 So glad to see you posting. Was just thinking of you Congrats on your 9 weeks of sobriety! Glad you are engaging with services and working on your sobriety. Keep up the amazing work
Great to see you posting friend. I am sorry for the vicious cycle of addiction that you are in. It does get exhausting. Glad you are working on new habits and creating healthier habits. Knowing that the evening is when you falter it is best to find ways to keep you safe during these moments. Ways to seek support and ways to push through the urges. You just need to fight the urge. It does not last long and you can get past those moments. One Step At A Time friend ā keep going strong 
@chevy555 Triple 5ās! 
so good to see you checking in and with such a cool number! Much love friend ā glad you are doing well and enjoying life! 
too funny ā totally understand needing to beat the heat. Hope you enjoyed the peace and quiet and the lovely run
@raspberry So sorry for the dream friend. Sending calming energy and hope the stress lets up soon
@jesile You definitely are not alone and not weird. Glad you found someone irl that can also relate. Wishing you a cool and happy weekend.
@tatteredlace Awesome that you are getting these job offers. I do have feel that for now your recovery should be your first priority. If your gut is saying that this is your chance at rehab then you may want to listen to it. Glad to hear that you have found a sponsor and are working so diligently on your recovery. Keep at it ā ODAAT!
@kyledesantos and @anonymous7 Way to go with getting through the weekend. Keep pushing past the urges ā you are doing great work friends
@mtsober Not sure of last 4 months but I do notice that many life changes occur in sobriety. Could be possible that many are in the same phase in the journey and dealing with the changes / growth that comes with that moment in the journey. Just my observations in the past year.
Checking in on Saturday evening
934 days free of alcohol and weed
1349 days free of cigarettes
Woke up early to get my swim in so that I would be home in time for my sisterās visit. I couldnāt hang for long but was nice to see her for the time we did have together. Had to rest and recover my energy for some time - luckily in doors in the AC. Now catching up here and watching some TV. Gonna be a early night I hope.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love
Checking in on day 718. Just a chilled day today, not much to report. I did book a camping trip for my daughter, her bf, the doggo and I. Weāre heading there the day before my 2 year soberversary on the 25th July. Looking forward to celebrating and making happy memories with my daughter
