So glad you got so much out of the meeting. I am a big promoter of AA. Congrats on your sober days. Just a little advice and my opinion from experienceā¦ As you accumulate sober days it is so very easy to believe you achieved your long term goal of being sober. My belief (my opinion only) You must continue to do the tasks that got you sober to stay sober. AA once a week is tremendous resource to remain sober today. So glad you are here.

Checking in!
Work wasnāt all to great today, I had an argument with a colleague. He was basically moaning as always, instead of attending waiting customers, therefore I told him to pls attend them, customers go before our private BSā¦ well, that didnāt sit well 
My meeting from 2 days ago was ok! Though I just listened, I need to interact more!
I bought an air fryer, it was an offer, and I admitā¦ I finally succumbed to the marketing and hype I guess! 
Testing it tonight for the first time with fried sweet potatoes, weāll see!
I hope everyone has a good one!

Day 1313
Afternoon check in 
Busy day so far. Had a work related team mtg until 11am. Then had to make a few phone calls. Went to the gym for an hour. Now putting away laundry and doing dishes. Thats all Im doing today. Going to rest up a bit bcuz I have to do the awake overnight shift with my son tonight. The nurse that was supposed to come in, called in sick. At least this didnt happen on a weekend when I work. So Im grateful for that. Feeling a little frustrated and stressed. But just going to take things in stride. Have a great day everyone!

Day 12
Just wanted to say good evening and let you know Iām holding on. Tough day. I have to manage my emotions. My 15-year-old daughter is being unpleasant to me, even though I bend over backwards for her. Anyway, Iām going to read a book, have some herbal tea, and stop thinking about my problems. Itās a bit asymmetrical between you and me, because I write about whatās wrong and donāt read what you write
ā¦
I hope you understand my needs.
Have a good evening.

This recovery from surgery is sure going to be a long haul but Iām beginning to understand how significant something like this is.
Today, Iām going to make a batch of pasta sauce and my partner is going to help me make a fresh pasta weāve not done before, potato gnocchi. Hopefully I can share some pics later.

Day 1313
Been kind of a hard day. Im not at risk of using or drinking (hasnt even crossed my mind), but I am not feeling happy about other aspects of my recovery/well being. I feel like Im in a rut almost. Sort of stuck. Like Im not doing the things I should/need to be doing for my recovery. Im not really taking care of myself to the best of my ability either. I havent been praying. Ive been wanting to distance myself from TS (although thankfully I do check in still daily), I havent had much energy lately for self care. Dont feel like doing my gratitude lists. Ive been exercising but not doing well on my ED. I feel hopeless when it comes to losing weight and being healthy for me and my family. I have a phone call Dr appt tmrw and Im going to ask for bloodwork to be done to make sure there isnt an underlying health issue thats preventing me from losing weight. I feel like im on a hampster wheel lol I am mentally unmotivated, just feeling blah. Theres really no reason to feel this way, except for maybe me acting out thru my ED. But other than that, I am okay. Think Ill step onto the Gratitude thread and focus on the positives. Sometimes doing the next right thing, is literally doing the opposite of what I want to do. Thanks for reading

Checking in from my sonās soccer match.
91 days porn free.
Almost 300 days AF.
Proud of my kid. He seems like a leader, he loves the game, and heās clearly talented. Iām thankful we have community members putting their efforts into keeping the kids of this small town active and engaged.
Feel like Iām making lots of progress at work. Hoping my efforts are going somewhere. I feel like Iām growing as I challenge myself to get more involved in community organizing.

I understand how you feel. The only thing I see that youāre not doing for your recovery is allow yourself grace. You have been dealing with a lot of changes lately too. I promise youāre doing more than you realize. Light and love friend

Hi Dana,
I always have a sincere interest in reading your open sharing. I truly understand the weight you are carrying today. Itās normal to feel stuck sometimes: recovery isnāt always about moving forward at full speed, sometimes itās just about holding on even when you lack energy. Thatās what Iām going through today too!
I admire the fact that you continue to come here, to reserve a space for yourself, even when youāre not feeling well. That in itself shows great strength. And youāve shown me your strength in the stability youāve built for yourself.
Be kind to yourself: this difficult period does not define you, itās just a moment in time.
The freedom and life you have built for yourself are real. And life, even though you said yes to it longer ago than I did, has its sorrows and difficult moments. And I will certainly continue to read your words, listen to you, respect you, and lend an attentive ear to your difficulties, your joys, and your life.

Thats what iām talking bout!
Woo!
Honestly, small towns are where itās at, as long as the community is funding the right stuff.
Like in my small town, we got a kids pond for fishing, kids par 3, 3 hole golf course, free ice rink and free stuff for the kids.
Like, thats a vibeeee.
