Closing out day 25.
8.08pm
Am in bed.in cozy clothes all settled in for the night.
I went to the food markets today. I forgot on the weekend every man and his dog goes lol 
way to many people, SLOWWWW walking people for my liking lol 
so I was in and out fast.
Dropped my C.V off at another place this afternoon. That’s two in person in 24 Hours, so fingers crossed.
Took the motorbike out for a ride this arvo late. Again, weekend drivers ughh so many people literally cannot drive it’s crazy lol. The amount of times I scream at the top of my lungs MOVEEEEEE to stupid drivers and idiots that just open there drivers side door wide open without looking to see if cars or bikes are coming. And when I scream because I literally miss hitting said idiot by a spilt second, they just stare at you like its my fault ughhh. I almost hit two people walking on the middle of the road I could see them a good 5 seconds away so I hit the brake and started screaming MOVEEE!!! because it’s peak hour weekend and there are cars behind me that are bigger than my bike , and of those cars are not paying attention, then I just end up a squashed Bloody pancake lol ! So these stupid humans have no sense at all they dont rush to run of the road they just turn and stare, F&$KING idiots I kid you not how do these people not know how to look left and right before Crossing a road, not even at the lights, and think there immortal ughhh ! I really do not like weekend people lmao 
If I was not sober I would of gone absolutely mental at these idiots, road rage is no joke lol its funny because I am the nicest sweetest kindest person, the second I’m on my Motor bike it like I’m possessed, dr jekly Mr Hyde vibes lol
Anyhoo, head is hitting pillow sober , so yay to that.
Hope y’all are having a wonderful sober weekend

Day 10, second check in
I wanted to check in post Pilates class as I feel good. The endorphins have kicked in and a lot of the niggling stress has started to ebb away. In a short time it has become a core part of my routine and I am grateful for it.
I had a feeling that I wanted to get down in words. Its hard to explain, I’ve talked to my partner about it and my therapist but its something I am still working through.
Since I have chosen to frame this as my recovery rather than clean days it feels like I have had a change in how I feel. I’m not sure what came first but inside I have this mental image of me walking forward. I have metaphorically turned my back on my addiction and it has made things a little easier. Last night I could easily have relapsed, but a combination of:
-
That mental image
-
Finding out about urge surfing
-
Checking in here
All made it easier to stay on course. But its more than that it’s a certainty in the core of me that I know who I am, I know my worth and I no longer feel the need to explain everything to everyone.
I don’t know if any of that makes sense but it felt important to write out.

Damn, again I took a nap which lasted almost 6 hrs. I gotta stop sleeping this much, because I’m wasting most of the day. Goddammit. Just ate, and soon I’ll go for a walk. Rest of the day I’ll just listen to music and read a book. Have a good one, sober peeps!

Day 26
Off to work i go. Talked with my old boss and see what happens. I weighed out the pros and cons about the current full time job and its not worth the extra $2 as its gone in gas and i have never ran out of gas with my last job. Yes there is work all the time at the current place but I want to be able to go to meetings and keep to my recovery. My old boss will allow me to do those things.
Hopefully only 4 hours of work and then home to reno my living room. Changing the floor to laminate in the living room. I have the best landlords.
Hope everyone has a great sober day

Day 257
Been an odd day for me I didn’t wake up until nearly 9. Usually I’m up around 6, I must have needed the sleep. It knocks me out of kilter that sort of break in routine. Did have a slight craving but by the time I’d cleaned the bathroom it had gone.
Mainly crafting and chores today planning to enjoy the Darts again tonight
Wishing everyone a good sober Saturday
