Good morning to everyone, sun is shining, did a great meditation, and looking forward to enjoy this day hopefully on a bike. My belly got bigger, why the heck the fat doesn’t hit my butttocks, wouldn’t mind extra comfort on the bike!
Anyways, have a pleasant day!
It sounds more like they’re personality disorder architects; and, it’s award season. 
I just focus on the positive aspects of it but man! It takes work, work, work not simply “say it”!!! 
Day 45 
happy Friday everyone 
Checking in
A week ago I mentioned I was going to take a break from checking in on the forum, cause I was (probably) overthinking that my boring check-ins about going for walks and cleaning my house are just that to everyone else… boring! Truth is, I love my boring routine and I miss checking in.
I’m currently attending a weekly online Smart recovery meeting, and I’ve downloaded an hypnosis app that has a special program for alcohol addiction. I’m still on the free trial, but first impressions are good and I’ll probably get the paid version. In the end the yearly fee is cheaper than what I used to spend on alcohol and cigarettes in a month. 
Just saying good morning to everyone, I’ll be going for lunch with my mom later in the day.
Day 1014.
Cold and wet today! Off for four days tho. So thats good. Wishing everyone a peaceful weekend
There is a time where you have to call a spade, a spade.
There’s an inherent danger in positive psychology. You obviously have to convince yourself of whatever you must in order to maintain sanity and sobriety. But, there will be a time when the poison that comes with crazy-makers erodes away even the toughest exteriors.
It’s okay to protect your joy and call a miserable bitch, a miserable bitch.
Good Morning, guys. Happy Friday, we go again! 
Day 26 AF.
Yesterday was a struggle and I had to draw on the ODAAT tool throughout the evening, the mental gymnastics to justify drinking my mind was playing were brutal. Today I got to wake up sober and I’ve added another day to the tally which is pretty frikkin cool. I’m going to make the most of it. I’ll make this my first sober Easter period ODAAT.
Hope you all have a sober awesome 24 and stuff. 
Amen to that! I didn’t call her that but in my way I found a softer way to deliver the message ! I don’t engage in conflict by nature. I know some people say conflicts are inevitable but I agree to disagree 
Conflicts are inevitable. In fact, they can be a very important part of a relationship. When done respectfully and well, you learn more about yourself and the other person. For example, this would technically be considered a conflict. We have differing opinions. However, I see and hear you and value your perspective as being valid and real to your experience.
I used to (and sometimes slip back into) cower away from conflict of any degree. I would emotionally shut down. It immediately triggered a trauma response. It took me a long, long time to recognize that and why I respond the way that I do.
I’m currently working on saying (and believing): I am allowed to take up space. I’m allowed to have a different opinion. I am allowed to speak up and have a voice.
I’m glad to hear you found a Bilbo way of insulting her. That makes me happy.

Was on vacation for a few days. Back to TS. Good to see you all.
Enjoyed Strasbourg a lot. Going to chill over the Easter weekend. Still a week of Easter break then.
Peace and love always 
I’m glad you decided to continue with your accountability, Jenny! I find it quite amusing how miserly we can get in recovery - it took me a long time to start putting into the AA basket the amount that one drink used to cost me, instead of just the “traditional” amount of one dollar.
I went to a meeting last night to meet up with an old friend, I hope to schedule a catch up time with her soon. Heading out to a meeting this morning, then to the gym, then home to continue my hunt for the notebook that I write down everything I want to do and to remember. I had it yesterday, could not find it last night. But I’m certain I will not drink over losing it, and I’m certain I won’t find any empties or even full bottles stashed away as I search for it. For that, I am grateful.
Day 144
Fast approaching five months 
Sitting in the hospital whilst my husband sleeps, I just like being in the same room as him. The latest operation seems to have really knocked him six. Hopefully the Doctors will be round shortly and I can hear what they think.
Found out a lady from one of the orchestra’s I play in is also here, so I will track her down too. ( She is the loveliest sweetiest old lady I’ve ever met.)
I’ve got my act together and have put a beef bourguignion in the slow cooker, I’ve been living of supermarket sandwiches for a week. Cooked some salmon last night and real food did me good
Have a very happy and sober day everyone
Checking in on day 1251 AF.
I hope everyone has a fabulous Friday - Much love
Checking in: day 21.
Today turns out not to be a good friday. This morning I got hit by a car. I was crossing the road on a crosswalk and the guy in the car didn’t see me. I got checked out in an ambulance but nothing seems to be broken so I am now back home. With not one but two heavily bruised legs.
I am utterly pissed off. Just when I was getting my mobility back and started to enjoy walking again, this happens. And if it was my fault, I could blame myself. But now I am just angry at the world.
Please send positive thoughts, memes and animal pictures to cheer me up! 
Stay safe and sober 
I am so sorry!! I’m very thankful you’re (mostly) okay, but what an awful situation. Sending you lots of healing thoughts.
Good morning friends, day 148. Off today for the Good Friday holiday. Wishing you all a great weekend!
Hey all, checking in on day 2119. I hope everybody has a good one
Day 1510
Im going to keep this vent short lol We have no overnight care for my son. Like no one now. We had 2 HCAs on board, both feel asleep, one of them for 23 min straight.
There is literally not a single person on my sons overnight team now. I am looking at doing a shit load of overnights myself. God help me!
I WILL NOT engage in unhealthy behaviours bcuz of this. And what I mean by this is engaging in my ED. I am not binge eating or emotionally eating bcuz of this situation.
I am done dealing with people that are supposed to stay the fuck awake during their shift. If they cant stay awake, they shouldnt be doing overnights. It puts my son at risk when they nod off.
Im done with it all. Im going to have fabulous day anyway! Im baking with my son right now (Reese pb brownies) and then we will head out to Walmart to grab a few things.
It is what it is. Going to take it 1 day at a time! (And this wasnt that short after all lol)
