I am putting my recovery first and reaching out to the Higher Powers often.

-looking for Their guidance
-having faith hoping and loving
-i am being/doing/feeling good, and helping/loving/serving GOD/others
-coping

being a part of this community too has been awesome since I live in a small town where the recovery community isn’t as big (Snowflake, Arizona)

lots more actually i keep myself busy doing good as much as possible

Watching War of the Worlds, the new one with Ice Cube and Eva Longoria. It’s so, so, so, so, so bad that I totally forgot that I wanted to drink. I mean this movie is so stupid — I forgot how to drink.

Basically today is about being of service to others and trying not to engage in my BED. Focusing on the next right step

Well I had an intense craving after I got off work. Usually it passess within an hour but this time it was longer and kept nagging. So I utilized the h.a.l.t method! I called a friend and we got lunch together. Drank lemon water and ate a big salad. Craving gone. Still sober :blush: getting ready now to go to the fair tonight

Thank you @Nomad620 and @JazzyS
I think im just over tired from not sleeping last night and going all day. I had a headache for most of the day and my son was hyper all day and non stop talking and all i wanted to do was rest. So i played a game with him and then went to lay down on the couch. But he wasnt listening so i had to step aside and take some deep breaths so that I wouldnt get frustrated. Thankfully it worked and I am feeling a little better now. I just need sleep i think. Plus i way over caffeinated myself and that probably wasnt a good idea either
