. I am so sorry your work has turned out to be so chaotic. Wowā¦that all sounds overwhelming and frustrating. I would definitely put out feelers for a new job. You donāt owe these guys anything and your own mental/ physical health is way more important.
You have a lot that you are juggling my friend. Grateful you were able to figure out what was going on with that manipulative relationship. Shit like that turns my stomach.
Glad you did write here. Sending hugs and love your way. We are here for you Renee. I do hope things get easier for you soon 
. I can relate to this. Iām in peri menopause and about to go postal. Sorry for all the crapā¦yeah things are crazy and Iām glad you are doing what you can to not let it make you crazy
@Just_Laura a lot of good fortuneā¦I hope it continues to come your way 
Absolutely! Well done on the 600 days so far! You are doing great work my friendā¦keep going strong 
Checking in on Saturday morningā¦
Waiting for coffee. Heading to the pool then work.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free dayā¦ sending you all so much love

Good day today
Personal paid day off from work for wifeys bday tomorrow
Iām taking today off to celebrate and her best friend is taking tomorrow off to celebrate the actual day with her while I work
It worked out good
Actually itās a pretty funny story
Here I am working my job 2 months into just starting
My wife who likes no1 and puts up a attitude with anyone trying to get to know her is there shopping. A female co worker who just started at the time walks up to my wife, take her phone and puts in her number and said my wife and her are besties now. Theyāve been best friends ever sence
If it was anyone else or any different time it could have turned out bad lolololol
The female co workers husband also workers where I work so me, my wife, the female co worker and her husband are all besties
Anyways today is my paid day with my wife
Tomorrow on my wifeās birthday is her best friends day.
I woke up feeling kinda low. Maybe too much coffee yesterday. Anyway I cleaned the bunny cage after a week and fed her and then I felt good. 
Happy bunny happy life

Morning check in 
Got to work on time! I almost fell back asleep tho this morning, bcuz I was feeling so groggy. But Im here now and am ready to tackle the shift. I dont have much planned for today other than work and laundry. Going to continue doing some research on healthier eating to see what changes i can make. I did well this morning and didnt stop at Tim Hortons for anything, so thats a plus. I also did my prayer on the train. Feeling tired but good! Have a great Saturday everyone!

@JMS19 Sorry to hear about ur toothache. They can be excruciating. Have u ever tried cloves? It works as a temporary pain reliever for toothaches. I used to use ground cloves, but u can hse whole cloves or clove oil also.
@Tragicfarinelli beautiful fall photos!! Thats crazy about the spin class instructor haha a weighted vest too? Holy cow. Thays intense!
@Seb Great job on 600 days!!! 
@Just_Laura Wow!! All of ur post was fantastic! Made me happy to read that uv been getting some good luck lately!! Hope u have an awesome day friend!
@Lucalds I hope something fantastic happens for u with regards to ur presentation being sent to the gallerists. I whole heartedly agree with u in that what we put out into the world, we get back. Our energy impacts us a lot in how we see the world
@Moriah I hope ur day and ur finanical situation improves sooner than later. Money stuff is very stressful 
@Scorpn Oh my goodness girlā¦ ur going thru alot of stuff right now. Jeeze. Im glad to see u posting and venting tho. It probably feels sooo good to get all that out. But my god, ur workplace sounds like a sh!tshow. Plus with everything else going on, you absolutely need a break friend. Its sounds all to overwhelming. Sending u hugs girl

Didnāt make it to the gym yesterday like I said but I am here now! This morning was rough getting all 3 kids here. My 3 year old had a melt down over me putting her hair in a pony tail. I felt my anxiety building. She also has refused wearing clothes since June. I tell myself she is overly sensitive: her twos were so bad I had to take her to the pediatrician but he says nothing is wrong with her. I had to step away this morning and come back and give her love instead of anger. It was like putting a rapid raccooon into clothes and strapping it into a car seat. She screamed so much I was afraid what the neighbors would think. My 7 year old also complained about going . I kind of lost my shit but I was mindful about it and I honestly donāt know how I gentle parent and also get them to do what I want like put their shoes on. Anyway, I am venting but Iām having a difficult time, clearly.
@JazzyS glad to hear your mom is doing better, I hope you enjoy your swim. Thank you for always being the glue that keeps us together.
@Christophe I hope you stayed strong friend, I promise it gets so much better.
@everyone, itās nice reading your check ins stay strong friends.

Good afternoon everybody. Checking in on day 35 
.
Ive been to work and its a lot dryer and much less windy today.
Making a couple of curries at the minute and my wife is making herself a raspberry mojito (think thats how its spelled). I have no intention of joining her, my drink will be a soft one or maybe a tea or coffee. Who thought Saturday nights could be so exciting?
. Im really not bothered about drinking any alcohol and havnt been bothered for sometime now.
Looking forward to a relaxing chilled out weekend. I get that Friday feeling on a Saturday around 2pm as Im off Sundays.
Hope you all have a good weekend thrive in being sober.

Checking in a little late on day 44. Once again I meant to when I got on awhile ago but the ADD monster had other ideas 
Nothing planned today other than rebalance after my routine got all messed with yesterday (itās gonna happen, I knowā¦ just learning to not let it spiral) About to get some solid yoga in. I think thatās why I am so scatter brained still. Light and Love all

Today was āFridayā for me at work, Im off 2 days now! I already did my weekly cleaning this afternoon and tomorrow I will have the day 100% off! 
Tomorrow we have a big craft fair in town, in fact a lot of people from outside come to visit this fair. We always have a nice atmosphere in our small town on this day! I donāt really have friends here, Iāve been living here for 6 years, but every year I go on my own. So today I stepped out of my comfort zone, and created a WhatsApp group with the girls I have been hanging out with at the pool this summer, and asked if any of them will be there tomorrow, cause Iād really love to enjoy the experience in company of others! Feedback was positive (first I thought nobody would reply - me and my self negative talk), and probably Iāll see at least one or two of them there to take a stroll and have a coffee! In fact they asked me to meet for a coffee this afternoon, but I wanted to get my cleaning doneā¦ 
I wish I could have said yes, and just leave the cleaning for another day and time, but that would have been too much to ask for! 
I need my routine to feel comfortable! Looking forward to tomorrow though! 
To be continued!

Hey all, checking in officially one year alcohol free. I do miss it still but know the life I am cultivating now is the life I want and Iām willing to keep fighting each day for it. My next goal is to quit weed/ cigarettes. I have been slowly weening off the past few weeks and bought some smoking cessation mints so I donāt cave this time. Iāve tried quitting before but really do feel like this time it will stick. I am mentally ready to quit and know that is half the battle. Stay strong out there sober peeps, your addictions are right around the corner wanting you to give in. You can do this. One day at a time

@Just_Laura As soon as I read it I knew you were right, thank you! Focusing on good memories instead in particular is something Iāve not really tried so going to give that a go. Iāve started visiting the gratitude thread a lot so hopefully that becomes ingrained soon. I hope your financial luck continues!
@Lucalds thatās exactly it! I guess we all just get those meditative benefits in different ways. I seem to benefit when moving. I was thinking of adding yoga in soon but Iām of an age where I can pull a muscle while standing still now so have to be careful 
Best of luck with the search for new galleries - I find a lot of wisdom in your posts.
I love those photos @Tragicfarinelli and that stew sounds amazing!
Congrats on 600 days @Seb , inspiring!
Checking in Day 14
Happy to have made it even this far! I feel like Iām rediscovering myself. I feel like King Theoden in Lord of The Rings when Gandalf lifts Sarumanās spell on him.
Now that Iāve dropped the alcohol, Iām suddenly questioning other things Iāve been doing for years. Things Iām now noticing might have run their course and I might actually be bored of. I foresee my hobbies changing but Iām constantly taking in really helpful info on here and read a post about everything just being about sobriety in the early days and being able to worry about stuff like hobbies later. Now thatās what I plan to do.
Have good, sober, weekends everyone. Iāll be keeping my eye out for more check ins.
