I am new to recovery, but I have a old soul. And I am right were I should be. My heart mind and soul tell me so. I am happy and in my life happiness has been far and in between. but I’m starting to realize … Damn it I deserve to be happy, be healthy, be in control of my life, and live well. I’m entitled to experience new things, meet new sober people and enjoy things that I did at a earlier time in my life. And I owe knowing all this to this community of people that are so amazing with so much wisdom, knowledge and love to give. Thank you for helping me find not only peace but clarity in my life

Well I’ve been reading a lot, sharing a lot. I’ve earned a few badges now. A few of them multiple times, I interact with lots of people but I’m still considered a basic member :smirk: I’m not sure what more I need to do?

My day was good. It was a bit “blah” - I kind of feel like I’m drinking from a fire hose at work, lots to juggle & lots to coordinate & I often feel overwhelmed (it’s the busy season at my job); and at times like that I find I just zone out. However I kept myself safe & tried to pay attention to myself, and I went home early today and told myself the world and the work will still be there tomorrow; what I need is some time at home and some rest.

Dinner tonight was stir fried egg noodles with chicken, veggies, and a little leftover bacon. Deeelicious :yum:

After dinner today I watched the Chronicles of Narnia movie (the first one) which was nice. I like those magical films - I’ve always been a dreamer :innocent:

Maybe one day when you know me better you will share with me what your job is. Mine is pretty embarrassing for my age but I try my best at everything I do so there’s that lol. And omg you just made me so hungry. I are a hot dog and some store bought potato salad :rofl: I hurt my shoulder at work today so cooking was out of the question and as for you being a dreamer, that’s a nice thought. I love that movie but I’ve been in a comedy miss so I’ve been watching Adam Sandler movies this evening :slightly_smiling_face:

I indeed read it ma’am and I guess I’ll just have to be patient and keep reading and sharing until I get there :slightly_smiling_face: but I’m not going anywhere so I’ll get there :muscle: :green_heart:

Anger management, chuck and Larry, billy Madison and the water boy so far :yellow_heart::yellow_heart::yellow_heart:

So today has been rough. I tore my rotator cuff at work yesterday, today the pain has been indescribable and I’m having a hard time controlling the pain. Not necessarily craving but at it’s worst point today I did have the insane thought that drinking would make the pain go away… Smh and what’s the definition of insanity?? Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result… well for today I’m not insane but the pain is making me just a little crazy. Could really use someone to talk to :pensive::smirk:

The alcohol might momentarily numb the pain, but in the morning you’ll still wake up up with that pain plus a hangover. Hang on there, dont throw away your sobriety. I hope you feel better!
