Hello ! How are you all ?
Iām tired and have a lot to do but trying not to stress too much. Still sober and donāt want to drink at all. Yesterday I went to see my old colleagues. Last Time I Saw them was when I leaved this work and WE had si much drinks, so wasted ā¦they notices this time I didnāt drink alcohol but I didnāt mind at all and was still this super fun girl, laughing, singingā¦happier. when I worked with them It was so Bad. Started the job while separating and trying to leaved and I find a place, the COVID etc and the job was so hard. They explain that itās worst than ever. Iām glad I fought to leave this awful place. And to be alive. Grateful for everything Iāve been through.
Donāt wanna be in this place ever again.
Sending all my support and love

So lovely to hear from you. Almost at your 6 months of sobriety 
. Thatās gotta feel wonderful. Great job of mingling with old colleagues and not drinking. I know sometimes our old atmospheres or aquaintnces can make us want to indulge
Love this! Keep doing all that you are doing

For me focusing on the future inevitably makes me think of the pastā¦I need to break up the day into 1/3ā¦one day sometimes seems too long but when I donāt think of today the aa road seems daunting and impossible so the lil devil in me says āfuvk itā instead of the the good guy telling me ālet that shit goā
I learned that as much as connection is important, itās more than human connection that gets us throughā¦hone in on your spiritual and develop it like your life depended on itā¦
You got this!!!

I understand 
Some days itās one hour at a Time. Still need to ajust thingsā¦like too much interaction during the day is not good and I really need Time alone so learned to Say no to rest
Taking Care of our spirit. Thanks for your words
Yesterday was 6 monthsā¦got my 6 months chip tonightā¦I kinda donāt like It ā¦like itās been already used ā¦It donāt matter in fact but Iām grumpy since Yesterday. Because I saw my doctor and Iām not happy with the way the consultation wentā¦
but nevermind. I had dinner with my AA Friends tonight. Got Big hugs. So feel better.
6 months guys. Iām proud. And day 2 without cigarettes

6 months is huge and you should be proud. 
Day 2 of no smoking ā¦ could this be the cause of the grumpiness?
You are doing a hell of a jobā¦Iām sorry about the doctors visit. I know our health doesnāt magically bounce back just cause we leave our addictions but our bodies do start repairing themselves. This would not be possible if we were still smoking and drinking. So heāll yeah for paving a healthier way for yourself.
Join us on the Grumpy A-holes (quitting cigarettes/ nicotine products) thread ā¦a lot of good advice and support on quitting smoking.

7 months and 14 days. Got this one Yesterday. 1 month and 14 days without cigarettes. Vaping just two three (I donāt know How to Say) breathe.
Iām fasting for the first Time since 17 Years for the Ramadan because I Can. I 'm not really a religious person but I felt that It was a great way to feel connected to my Roots, my late father, and for people in the World suffering. It helps with the anger and I meditate / pray on māy on World for māy loved ones and for a better World.

Hello Yesterday I was in bar in Paris and It was great. My Friends were drinking a Lot but I was drinking māy Mango juice and limonades and laughed a lot. I didnāt want to drink AT ALL. Itās my New life now and itās very great to be there and enjoy every part of It. I left and sent message to my Friend. I donāt know How she ended the night. Waiting for her text. But she read māy message and I think that she IS fine. She Can stop AT some point. That wasnāt my case. Itās thĆ© Big diffĆ©rence.
Also I go to AA meetings when I Can and this month just 2 Times. Itās april so itās the 4 th step " Taking a personal inventory". At first I thought It was about making a list of your defects and flaws. But itās not. And I started to write about it. Itās really powerful. Just wanted to share this.
Sending lot of Love
Have a Wonderful day.
