Day 21. Friday night. After work I went to therapy, then came home and talked on the phone with a friend.
Now cozy on my couch with Netflix and mac and cheese.
Happy sober Friday! What are you up to?

Itās 5:30 PM here on the West Coast. I am finishing the prep for dinner. I got a slow cooker full of chili and cornbread in the oven. Wife and kids are playing Mario Party so the sound of laughter fills the air. After dinner, gonna watch Haunting of Hill House on Netflix.

Got done work around 6:30ā¦made myself some dinner (sausage w sautĆ©ed cabbage and onions) cleaned the house some, just made ānatureās trufflesā (unsweetened cocoa, almonds, shredded coconut and medjool dates) in the freezer so I can have a sweet treat. Now Iām considering making a baby hat for my friend whoās due in a few weeks. Going to bed reading my refuge recovery book after an Epsom salt bathā¦wild night!!! 
I workā¦ a lotā¦and FINALLY my nights/weekends ACTUALLY restore meāŗļø

Love hearing what everyone is up to, including the different time zones. Iām currently in EST but previously lived in GMT.
Iām so happy to be at home taking care of myself, rather than lurking around bars.

Please tell me more about how you make these truffles - they sound amazing!!
Hmmmā¦Iām terrible at measuring anything so Iām just gonna guessā¦ itās like a half cup almonds and a bunch of dates (like 7) pulsed in a food processor. Once itās fairly chopped, add unsweetened shredded coconutā¦maybe a half cup, a splash of hot water and liiiiiike maybe 1-2Tbsp. Unsweetened cocoa powder and some cinnamon (sometimes I add a little almond extract for flavor.) roll them up into balls (very messy) and put in the freezer for a little bitā¦itās even better with cashews, but the whole reason I made them was bc the almonds were going to expire!

Thanks! I will try that. I love that combo of things.
Long stressful work week. Feels good coping with stress without masking it with opiates though. Decompressing, then watch a movie with my son with some dinner then ice cream!

Lol, Iām sort of opposite. When I was loaded on opiates I loved sweets. Now Iām sort of a gym rat, and donāt care all that much for sugar. Usually a Friday or Saturday night treat, itās healthy stuff though, and good. Try it!
Nice thanks!!!
I definitely work out more now tooā¦but also eat more ice creamā¦I just basically LIVE more now.
Woooo to sobriety!
