@s_unrelax great to hear that you are using your coping skills and not giving into the urges when they arise 
. You are doing a wonderful job 
@Louloubelle thanks love. I had a wonderful time in the pool. The water really is so healing 
@Violagirl awe love Iām so sorry. You are doing some great work in processing it and staying sober. Sometimes itās helpful to talk it out or just vent and share the frustration even when there is no fixing things. Impressive strength my friend. Much love to you 
@Marieke love those pics and your space is turning out beautifully 
. Love what your dad said too 
@Raspberry love that you got sleep. I totally know the fatigue you feel after getting sleep after a long time. Hope the coffee helps. Yes do keep my PM in mind. We just keep going ODAAT.
@Scorpn yippee on your 2 weeks. Hopefully it does go quick and smooth and you are able to get sleep soon
@DanielaJ much love friend. Thank you. It was heavenly being back in the water. So grateful that I went .
@Ofmiceandroach great to see you posting. Well done on paying off and closing that cc! That is a huge achievement and you should be super proud of yourself. 13+ months of sobriety is amazing work tooā¦keep putting in the work - itās benefits are endless
Huge congratulations 
. 2 weeks is awesome. It really is day by day for some time. Can be that way for the first year. Recovery is so much more than just not drinking. Keep putting in the work. It does get easierā
@CueBall8n9 whoohoo 
3 weeks is awesome! Hope the heat letās up soon. We are looking forward to a dip in the temp tomorrow. Hopefully the humidity goes too lol. Luckily itās almost fall and hopefully we will get some good autumn days soon 
Sending love and hugs. You can handle it. We are here if you need us
@Jules000 I know sometimes that voice does dry louder when you say no. Like itās throwing a tantrum. Instead of saying no maybe just focus on something else and then something else after that in an effort to ignore it and keep yourself busy with other conversations/ activities. We are here if you need to chat. A walk or some puzzling may be good too. Just donāt entertain those lies that voice is trying to tell.
Thursday check inā¦
I woke up and tried to stay in bed as I didnāt sleep much last night. Realized that it was Thursday and luckily was able to get ready and rush out the door in time to make all my deliveries and still get to the pool on time.
Had a wonderful time at the pool and gym. Feeling drained now so taking a time out before work. My nose wonāt stop runningā¦itās getting to be a bit annoying. Going to do a ginger shot soon. Hopefully that will help. Gonna attempt a nap first as my head is starting to pound.
The heat is slowly lifting. We are out of the heat advisory but itās still pretty nasty. Fingers crossed that this will pass soon.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free dayā¦sending you all so much love
