Day 517 
Had a great day yesterday. Went to the beach with my family to meet storm Dennis
Warned my children to put their raincoats on but you know teenagersā¦thatās not cool!
So we only walked for half an hour because they were soaked wet
Went to mc Donalds to cheer them up with a veggie burger. And today I have a very busy day at work ahead, so wish me luck! On my own in the shop today with a lot to do! No coworker around, so no break
Have a great day all of you!

@Girlinterrupted ah thats sad news about your friend the brother must be in bits. Life is so tough sometimes all you can do as you have is be there.
Sounds a great idea re weekend job as you will need to be up and about. I find if i have no plans i end up doing nothing and then get aggitated in eve which is not good for sobriety. So each day i book a gym session which then makes me feel energised to do other stuff it will help you. Good luck on your application

@Positrix gosh so familiar. I am in IT project management. Walked out of 3 contracts through alcohol anxiety. My cv has so many holes which i am working on to explain. May say career break. But getting broke. But tell myself now being sober is the only way i can fix it. So if it means getting a less challenging role with less money sobeit i need to get my confidence backā¦ do hope you feel better soon good luck. Your wife will be just be happy you not drinking

Day 17
Yesterday night had AA meeting. I needed to force myself to went there. I think you can understand what I mean . Motivation in the last 2 days was so low . I really need to thank God and TS people as I found the energy to go to the meeting .
Result is : anxiety reduced a ton , more energy and more motivation. Today I wake up with a smile ā¦ this is the final result.
Sometimes I really need to do violence to myself to go to meeting , but once Iām there result is impressive.
Hope everyone here can have a sober day , hugs

- Coffee now, late shift later. The last fight with my friend is still bothering me a lot. I need to concentrate on a couple of busy work days ahead. But I need to work on myself too. And on our relationship, but as it stands I have no idea how to. Itās finally time, at 54 years old, I do something about and with my BPD. Reading about it now (thanks for the tips @C-sun) . Will talk to my GP soon. An idea what kind of referral I want from her is beginning to take shape. The good news is that I do not see any need or want to use right now. Iām not going back to that because I now where that would lead. Institutions, jail or death. Itās true. Sobriety is a tricky road but itās the only road I got now. Thanks for being here all. It helps being in this together. Sober and clean love from my balcony in Amsterdam.

Been pretty close to that spot. I was doing freelance design for a long time (4.5 years) and it sucked. I have about 8 or 9 years of professional design experience, and have spent a small fortune on hardware, software, and professional development. I completely gave it up and started over.
I am working at a assembly plant now, and enjoy it for the most part. It beats a desk job. What helped me move on was to write down and ask myself what is important. The base question I asked myself was if I wanted to continue living. The answer was yes, and I went from there. It turned out it wasnāt art and design arenāt so important. I just like being around people and away from a computer, as well as building things. I donāt know if that helps at all. Hope the coming days get better!
