Hey y'all!
I can't keep up with addressing everyone today. But I simply feel you are all fantastic and ya keep me sober and accountable. No drinky drinky for me today.
I woke up way too early at 5:30. Guzzled a pot of coffee. Found out the good ol' gov't is finally covering (most) of the cost of my medication. Hallelujah!! So off to get some of those, now that my horribly nauseous barfy migraine followed by knock-me-on-my-arse dose of triptan has worn off a bit.
I did shovel my packed down snow/ice walkway before I laid back down this morning. Pat myself on my back too... hahaha Cou that made me laugh out loud about the weeding the garden. Congrats party for self all week.
Lately I have been going to bed thinking about what I got accomplished today and patting myself on the back for that. I've been practically bed ridden with sick and med issues (and stress) so every day I try and do a little more and things are slowly getting done so I'm happy with that. I have stopped crapping on myself for being sick and lazy. I need to recoup. I feel like I have tripped-stumbled-ran through most of this year already with not a whole lot to show for my efforts.
Another day... on the ride side of the ground.
Keep on keeping on, sober warriors.

I woke up on the wrong side of my attitude again today. It happens! Fortunately I can tell myself "This too shall pass," and do the next right thing.
I did just that. I worked, did what needed to be done, did next right thing after next right thing.
This included and was not limited to:
* Missed one of my kid's big games bc I had to "cover" for the folks who stayed overnight due to the storm. I practiced some self care and stopped myself from stewing over what I'm missing bc I will be able to make the next 2 games.
* "Covered" for one of the people I'm supposedly training to do my old job bc she took the day off. I am supposed to help but its the new person's responsibility to learn the role. I can't control whether they are cooperative or take the steps they need to absorb the information.
* Stood my ground with individuals who tried to evade responsibility, nicely, politely, cheerfully, with a really good tone. (If a person is combative I would usually fight back. No more.) Fake it til you make it: I am >this close< to figuring out how to let it roll off my back. Closer than I've ever been in my life.
Before I knew it, it was time to leave work.
I can even accomplish good things on my off days, or when I'm depressed.
No drinkin for me!

I skipped the meeting.
Sometimes I miss the solitude of my farm. The city feels so crowded.
Tomorrow I'm going to put an ad up to take in kinds after hours and for shift workers etc. There is not much work to be found here.
I had a slothful day. I had 2 naps. Spent most of the day in bed. Fed my kid 3 times. And I left the house twice. That must be some kind of record. I ran the dishwasher too.
Progress, not perfection. Lol
Still no drinking for me
