Ach girl 
What are you doing?
Maybe you wanna try AA? I was there 3 times, it wasnāt for me but it had a huge impact anyway on something inside of me.
And @Mephistopheles always found the right words, tough and kind, to remind me how important it is to stay sober.
You know you have to change something or youāll spiral down, you know Iām right.
All the best to you, I hope youāre able to get out of that.

Ohja - what is she doing.
Today I feel strong.
ODAAT is okay, I thinkā¦
As the evenings are difficult, maybe I will cut the evenings in hours or 2h-sets. This is a good suggestion.
I was thinking about getting some help.
Not sure if AA is the right thing to me, as an atheist. Maybe there is a group for general addictions, as mine are also switching. I will search for something like this in my region.
Will head to work now and do my job.

Here are things that have helped other ppl on here with long term sobriety.
Your #1 tip for sobriety (over 2 years sober)
If nothing changes, nothing changes.
AA is not for the religious, it is for those who are willing.
Best of luck!

I found some good meetings in Kreuzbund and Freundeskreis which have community even though Kreuzbund is catholic associated I have never heard one word about God in these meetings. I appreciate my womenās Kreuzbund group a lot and will try a new one here wher I moved to.

Did I mention my IG, follow me here, follow my career here?
I think one or two people from the site follow me on SM or my ventures, but I have personal relationships with them, I kept to my āthis is for support for meā not a place to promote me

Thank you 
I am doing okay, thank you for thinking of me. My elderly cat has had some health issues, I recently had a friend die, my mother just had major surgery, and a basket of other things that have all wanted my attention. Tie that into the holiday season (which tends to just exhaust me by the end), and my own health problems and Iāve sort of fallen off the map in some ways.

Hopefully staying strong in sobriety. Life can definitely kick our asses sometimes. Sending strength to you.

Life most certainly can kick our asses sometimes. Sobriety has been okay, though there have definitely been days when Iāve felt like giving up. Mostly due to my overall exhaustion. The lack of sleep from my cat waking me up all through the night for the last three years has been a blow to my health and stamina, but she is family and while she has many health issues, sheās not ready to move on yet. I donāt want to lose her. Sheās been in my life for 19 years, but I am also ready to let her go when itās her time. Itās a difficult situation on many fronts. I think I will be fine though. The downside has been that it makes it hard to give up caffeine and my sugar cravings have gone through the roof over time!

I understand about your cat friend. 
Be sure to take care of your self with as much dedication and care as you do for kitty. You both deserve all that love.

My sweet kitty wakes me up during the night, sheās insistent. I can give her wet food before I go to sleep, itās in there but she still wants to wake me up to show it to her. Sheās capable, she just acts like a baby sometimes. Last night she woke me up three separate times. She doesnāt want to just wake me up she wants me to wake up and get up. After I do then she settles back in and she goes sound asleep.
Sometimes I wonder if she isnāt trying to save me from a certain death. Thinking about you and your precious.

Thank you Cats are strange arenāt they? Sometimes I think mine just wants to make sure Iām still around, alive, and that she can find me But beyond having to wake up in the middle of the night to both feed and medicate her, I think her hyperthyroid has progressed to the point that the medication only helps minimally, so sheās always hungry and wants me to know it! 
Who can understand the minds of cats??? Iāll try not to be a stranger
