Have a nice day everyone.
Got a job with a courier company, well more of a trial type run with a view to a permanent run once another guy finishes up, so I'm hoping that will get sorted pretty soon, so I've not had too much time to be on SR the last few days, will hope to post more in the next couple of days.
Hope all you guys are doing good.

Glad to see everyone is doing okay. It's been rough for me. I really don't know what to do anymore. My fiance is convinced I'm a lazy, spoiled brat. Which may be true. But he isn't supporting me or helping me move forward. He tears me down when I only turn in three applications. I haven't been feeling well because of a medical condition and he thinks I should easily still be able to sit in a computer chair for hours on end. Mind you I take breaks but its still hard.

Wishinghope, im hoping youre doing better. Well its to bad youre husband thinks that way..but good for u for applying to three jobs. Its tough not having a positive reinforcement system especially if its your hubby. But im just here to tell u that if your stayin sober and doing the best u bf can then, then im proud of u and keep doing positive things.
4 month mark today. I feel like if i were to relapse id be throwing away a lot of progress so thats outta the picture. Date went good, i stayed over and we went to beach this morning.
Ah my mind has been racing but im starting to see a light in my life that wasnt there before..cant lose that to a relapse either so i shall refrain from dri nkin today.

Stoogy, glad to hear that you are busy and taking care of things so well. Congratulations
Krete, congratulations on 4 months!!
Wishing, sorry to hear you are going through a tough time. Shame on your fiance I might say, but unfortunately it's common to not have support and understanding (ordinary people don't understand things they didn't experience). Anyway, congratulations on fighting the good fight, stay strong, keep your efforts and take good care of yourself and everything will be better.

Day 114 here.
Day started off warm and calm, then some rain-clouds rolled in and now it's gray and gloomy outside.
Earlier today took my little brother down to the driver's license place for some follow-up stuff, overheard a couple dudes in front of us talking about "just moving here" and how they were looking forward to smoking weed. When our number got called the guy next to us had apparently also "just moved here" and was trying to resolve an issue with his paper-work, to the disappointment of the guy....... the government teller said something about "i'm sorry, you'll have to take the test again". On the way back i noticed a marijuana-shop was "coming soon!" just a mere 1 block away from where i live......... literally right across the street.
Man, drugs are so "in your face" in this state (CO)......... i really dont need this. That 2012 bill passes and it seems all the pot-heads and stoners just SURGED in across the borders, my next-door neighbor smokes pot............ i can smell it whenever i walk by his living room window. I suspect he mooches off his working girlfriend and does not work, i almost never see him leave the apartment - but i digress.
I mean, it's hard enough looking the other way whenever i pass by a liquor store. Now, it seems when i am driving and a liquor store is say: to the right, i turn to my left and there's a pot-shop there instead............ uggghh
Anyways, just felt like ranting about that......
in a little while im gonna go mail some stuff out, but other than that i don't have much planned. Got a conference call later tonight but until then ill probably just do some random internet browsing. Probably another quiet un-eventful afternoon.
For those who are AJ (alex jones) listeners, i would listen to his episode from earlier today - June 11. He and his guest discuss "what's really in big business-brewed beer"........... its interesting stuff, seems to explain the "beer belly" pounds i seem to have packed on.
6 more days to 4 months
What i really want is my one-year anniversary or 12 full months, im wondering how much better i'll feel and the curiosity is KILLING me!

Congrats on staying sober. I don't think I could resist it. But just stay strong. I know its easier said than done. Fiance is in a better mood and hopefully I can get to talking to him and get the support I need. Honestly I think the way he is acting is pushing me into a further depression. So I need support. He can be angry and upset at my past actions but it won't change the future for the better.

Grubby - Congrats on 114 days!!
I have to deal with potheads in my building and on my block and walk through a cloud of smoke daily, but not pot STORES. I can't imagine the temptation that must present itself in your state. I'm not sure what part of CO you live in, but do you know about MA?
I did not find out about it until someone in AA gave me a card with a list of meetings after being sober for two weeks and then smoking pot at a party back in September. I went to my feist MA meeting the next day and have been going every week since then!
While I believe that we should abstain from all drugs and alcohol, IMHO Potheads are a different breed than hardcore alcoholics. I go to AA meetings almost every day, but feel more at "home" in my pothead meetings.
I have included the link to a list of meetings in the Colorado area below. I hope at least ONE of these meetings is near you, a little added support surrounding your pot sobriety in a state with a burgeoning pot industry couldn't hurt!
