@Girlinterrupted Thank you. I hope I can remember why I’m doing this when temptation strikes again. I’m excited for the healthy life again yet Fearing how my mother will support it. She stays with me two nights a week to help with my kids. She has not been supportive in many areas of my life. We had a text fight yesterday. All because I’m trying to impose boundaries that she won’t respect. I’ve scheduled a therapy visit. Hoping to get back into my sober group. Need to focus my energy in positive areas. Need some cheerleaders!

On the bright side, you and @Lisa07 can share great car-related stories :+1::sweat_smile:

Well shit!!

I’ve only just started doing the lottery over here. Don’t think I’ve even had one number yet. I suspect machine tampering :sweat_smile::joy:

Let’s keep trying :+1:

Day 477. Managed to have a pretty good day. Feeling excited about new professional opportunities. Got done what I needed to, and even managed to set aside some time to be a potato. Hoping to regenerate a bit of energy after the weekend I had. I’ve got a week without groups this week (though I’ll still have other things) so that’s a nice break. How long will it last before I fill it up with tasks to do? :grin:

:potato:

Mid-day check in. Have enough leftovers that I don’t need to make dinner, and not having that responsibility made me want to drink in the past, and also knowing that made me worried about free-time I had. Now feel chilled about free-time, I might be productive, I might be a total slob, I will be sober!

Lisa, I feel for you…you are in a string of bad luck. Good news is it will get better soon.
You’ve hit the 3+ of bad luck mark. No more for awhile.

  1. Your truck comes first since it is your transportation
    It sounds like a bad water pump (or valve). More than likely it is stuck closed since it is overheating. Get to your repair shop and have them replace the water pump.
    Fyi…anti-freeze with no water does not keep an engine cool unless it is pre-mixed.
    Look at the proper mix of anti-freeze to water on the side of the canister.

  2. Study for the test. You need it for work. No failing means more time to deal with the other shit. :smiley:

  3. Wash dishes in a bucket if you have to. Dump the dirty water outside until you can get the backups repaired. Dishwashers and disposals are nice to have, but not completely necessary.

Breathe, breathe, you got this b/c you are a badass!!!

Hang in there and congratulations on 158 days!!!
