Checking in 91 days THC free and 6 days MO free. Taking it easy today. I decided yesterday that no matter my situation at work. I am not going to make me bitter. I am not going to let it take my joy. Come what may, I will continue to go to work and my job to the best of my ability. I will have an attitude of gratitude and Thank God that Iām employed. Iām still feeling like crap but I have seen some improvements. Iām just making myself take it easy. I sat outside and got some sunshine. Iām playing some video games right now and maybe take a nap. Iām not delving into any hard core chores, even if theyāre necessary lol. I did sweep and mop yesterday. Between my curly hair and the dog hair, it adds up quick. I need to rake some leaves and mow the lawn but I donāt have quite enough energy for that yet. Itās been a chill day and work this afternoonā¦

Checking in on day 64.
I donāt feel so good today. In a negative mental spiralā¦ I feel mentally drained. I feel like Iāve been in a rut for a while. At work, at home the chores never end, everyday trying not to drownā¦ kind of difficult to write down my feelings.
Iāve got another therapy session planned for next month. That usually helps since this rut is one of the reasons Iām going to therapy.
I have a slight urge to drink because of all this. To just feel something different. To escape. To not worry, care,ā¦. I know itās not the answer but it sure is temptingā¦

Hey friend, im sorry ur feeling so low today.
I think u did a good job actually explaining how ur feeling. I have definitely felt similar. More than once to be honest. When i feel like life is either too overwhelming or too just monotonous, i like to jump on the grattitude thread and think of some things in my life that Im grateful for. Sometimes we just need to switch our train of thoughts, from what we wish we could change about our life, to the things that we are grateful to have. It helps me anyway 
Im sure ur therapist will have some great suggestions also. Im glad u have them as a support. Just remember that no matter what, do NOT pick up. It WILL make things worse. Plus drinking doesnt fix what the issue is. No need to make urself feel worse than u already feel right? Sending u strength and peace today friend.

Having some cravings to seek out people to act out with. I am attributing it to the anxiousness Iām feeling about the meeting I have tomorrow and a bit of the loneliness too. I keep telling myself these are just opportunities. New ways to grow. Iām participating in the conversation regarding what happens in my community in a meaningful way. I feel the support of more people than I feel the vocal detractors. If it doesnāt go the way Iām hoping, then Iāve got to accept that I did what I could and that the universe has other plans for me.
Based on what Iāve submitted and the argument the other guy is making, I do feel like I have the advantage. But I also have to convince one person who always sits on the fence. Itāll be decided a week from tomorrow and I can take a breath after that.
Thanks for listening!

Stay focused brother, whatever the HP thing you got going on, will carry a victory.
Focus. Confidence. Move to what matters.
Everything else is a mere distraction.
Worry not, whatever the fight may be.

Evening check in
Had a good day today . The weather cleared up and I got to spend a lot of time outside. Went for a walk on some trails down by a marina in town. Logged into an online meeting when I got home then went for another walk around the house here. Put some Halloween decorations up outside when the kids got home from school . Enjoyed a dinner together and are now waiting for the Jays game to Start . Iām hoping Iāll Actually be able to watch the full game as I also seem to be coming down with a bit of a cold now and am feeling a bit tired tonight. Hope youāve all had a good day. Stay safe and sober everyone

Alcohol is very disruptive to our sleep patterns. It will take sometime for body to adjust.
