Day 1314
Morning check in 
Last night I cried (it had been an emotional day), prayed, and asked my HP for some direction in my life right now. I did the overnight shift with my son and now Im getting him ready for school. I have a busy morning planned. BUT⌠I am making sure to make time for my recovery and well being today. I think Ive been neglecting things and thats why Im feeling like I have been. I do feel better this morning tho. I dont feel as âstuckâ.
First thing on the agenda is prayer, then coffee at Tim Hortons while I scroll thru TS and do my gratitude list and read the Daily reflections & readings thread, then I have to go to the dollarstore and the post office to mail off my brothers bday card, then the gym, then the grocery store, then home. I have my Dr appt today also whenever she calls and my sons formula is being delivered this afternoon.
Thats about it for me. Im going to slow down today and enjoy the present moment. Get back to the basics of recovery and remember that the reason why I feel so good somedays is BCUZ I am doing the work. When i dont do the work, I dont feel good mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically.
Have a great Friday everyone!

@scorpn Much love Renee. Thank you so much â it really is wonderful being alongside you on this journey 
@just_laura Oh that is good. No need for added stress 
I am so sorry for the rollercoaster with your dads health. I do hope now that they have drained the infection and whatever was in his abdomen that he will be feeling better and on his way to recovery OMFG!!! That is next level stress shit. Girl Iâm so sorry- this shit is so scary and real. I have no words. Hopefully you and the neighbors can come up with a proper plan on how to handle this. The girls needs a scared straight moment and see real life stories of what happens in this type of situation 
I do love TFâs point on making sure she understands this is not her fault. Many smart and alert people have fallen for these manipulations.
Iâve heard this too. Glad you are talking it out in real life. Grateful that my words can help you Keep fighting the good fight 
Yes â it is supposed to help bring down high blood pressure. Can also cause low blood pressure if you are already low so be aware of its effects. I too love this type of medication 
Much love Thomas! 1 week is amazing work 
WTF! That is scary! I used to use IG for work and no way would I need my customers to know where I am 
@stacyann Where did you go? Hope you are doing well my friend. Miss seeing your check ins.
@butterflymoonwoman Big hugs my friend. Hope the cry helped release some of the emotions Sounds like a great plan to take care of yourself midst the busy day. Going back to basics is a wonderful idea. Much love Dana â hope the day goes smoothly for you
@jms19 OOH a puzzle table is exciting â look forward to seeing your puzzles. Be gentle and kind to yourself â the process of getting to know ourselves and healing years of wounds is not easy. Make sure to lean on your support. We are here for you
Checking in on Friday morning â Happy Friday you beautiful souls!
Didnât sleep much last night. Saw a mouse run into the laundry room (literally across from my bedroom) and it freaked me out that it would be on me in the middle of the night I put our foam roller on the base of the door with a open jar that had eucalyptus oil (as they hate that) at the doors opening. Then I watched too many news clips to shut off my mind (I totally know better).
2nd cup of coffee is kicking in and I am excited to be heading to the pool soon @leveller âjust keep swimmingâ I love it and will do just that.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day â sending you all so much love

You can do it! Take care of today. Maybe plan some fun activity this weekend with the family. Go for walk in nature and have a lunch. Go to the movies. Make some yummy dinner together. The weekends are just another day of the week. You got this! Think positive. And take care of the day you are in, today!

Checking in, day 12! I received a SMART recovery workbook that I ordered and am both excited and nervous to start it. Iâve realized Iâve used a lot of things to cover up past events and itâs difficult to dig into those things. I read a quote that resonated with me-
âWe know what youâve used as a band aid. How about we look at that bullet hole?â
Sending everyone good vibes and support!

@Just_Laura sending you strength and healing vibes for the situation with your dad. I do hope heâll feel better soon. And it scared the crap out of me reading of your daughter. I am thankful it is out in the open now where you and your neighbors can really adress the problem. Scary shit!!! Stay strong and even though this is happening, take care of yourself. Hugs!
@CR84 almost 30, I am so proud of you!! You are doing so well even though you struggle some days.
@Tragicfarinelli thank you, I will let Evi know sheâs not allowed to scare me

Doing a big cleanup in my house and getting rid of A LOT of unnecessary stuff. Itâs crazy how many you can collect during your life. During cleanup I even found some empty wine bottles in the closet.. probably dumped them there because I had too many to bring away 
crazyâŚ
My house is a mess now. Adhd and cleaning is always a struggle for me, but I do think I can get it tidy enough to feel comfortable in my own home again.
Have a great day/evening/night everyone

Checking in on day 20. Feels good saying that.
Have been listening to Doctor sleep all day. Half of the book describes the protagonists alcohol and other drug abuse and his working of the twelve steps. Stephen king knows a fair bit about addiction.
My wife and I went up the allotment to plant our plum tree, really looking forward to eating those.
Sober on a Friday at this time of day. Its marvelous, it really is. It just makes me want to smile 
.
Thats about all I have this evening apart from to wish you all a very good weekend.
