Still in this funk, food wise. Day 3 and it feels like it's never going to end. I have been isolating at home since Wednesday because of the rain. Need to at least get out for a bit and grab some groceries. Hope it helps because this feeling is pure hell right now.
Heard back from the therapist and he is full, not taking new patients but he will check with his group to see if anyone else has openings. I'm trying...

I'll take another 24 please and thank you! So grateful the humidity will be lower today. It's been a brutal few days. My allergies are going crazy.
Congrats to everyone reaching a milestone and big hugs for everyone struggling. My AV has been whispering sweet nothings in my ear... Just logging on to SR and posting about it helps knock it down. Thanks for being here!!
Wishing everyone a safe and sober Friday.
Kris, you will be in my thoughts today.

On my commute into work this morning, I was listening to an old Neil Diamond CD. This song really resonated with me this morning so I thought I'd post the lyrics for you all to read. Enjoy! (Here is a YouTube video, for those who prefer to listen instead of read: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCcaP5z4xbg).
"I Am... I Said" by Neil Diamond
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays,
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home,
But it ain't mine no more
"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read about a frog
Who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about me
The story's the same one
But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being alone
"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
"I am"... I said
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... I said
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays,
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home,
But it ain't mine no more
"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"... I cried

let's stay focused and ask for help when we need it. Another relapse is definitely not worth it. Glad you are here...
