hello my dear, I get a bit anxious when I have time off work and have to go back but that’s where I start using the living in the now, we spend far to much time worrying about the future and it ruins our present. Even when I’m at work I spend time thinking oh I’ve got to do this or I’ve got to do that it’s then when I drag myself back to the now and think actually I’m just cutting up some salad or stirring a sauce or washing a plate etc etc. Then when later gets here I’m still only putting a delivery away or doing some paperwork. It’s great doing all these silly little things and someone is paying me.

It’s a good saying isn’t it. It was told to me when I was stressing out about this person that, no matter how hard I tried, was just being difficult. I guess when I realised that there would always be someone who wouldn’t like me, whatever I do, it helped me feel like I could just focus on doing the right thing for me.

Thank you!

I just wish I didn’t have to work. I want to go back to being a SAHM. And this month at work will involve overtime. So I’m just mourning what used to be & need to stop living in the past. I had it good there for a while. But back to work I go.

Checking in at the end of day 140. For some reason I’m feeling quite nervy and anxious like something bad is going to happen. Maybe it’s all the crap I’ve been eating? Too much sugar, maybe? I’m going to take something to help me sleep tonight I think. I’ve had a fun day on here today, in between cooking and doing stuff round the house. You guys have made me laugh loads today…thank you! For all of you struggling today/tonight, I’m sending you hugs and strength, we can do this! I feel (ever such a little) smug-ish aswell. How many folk out there right now are deciding that it’s time to stop drinking/drugging?.. just like I did this time last year… and we’re already on the journey…we never HAVE to have our poison again. Hope this makes sense??..We are all doing an amazing job with our sobriety, I’m super proud of all of ya! Night night guys…thank you for being here :pray:t2::two_hearts:

Checking in on Day 159. Did some stretching followed by a thirty minute yoga sesh, hit IKEA, and now it’s relax time before meal prep.

I bought my first gaming headset today. I can’t wait to get cussed out for being a terrible teammate.


Have a strong day!!!

I’m on step 9 and the 4th and 5th was the most honest thing I’ve ever done. Get that step work done because Nat is so right its a spiritual experience that brings freedom. I’m so happy for you.
