We are human and we make mistakes......but we keep going.....together. ♥

Good night all my SR buddies near and far(if it’s night for you)

20:35 in northern Illinois. A cold 58°F, drizzly. I ate about 4 cups of goldfish crackers 😳 ( after dinner of course)

That’s about the worst thing I did today . Thank goodness

Please, another smooth 24. How about another 240 years? Yes? ( my stupid AV doesn’t know time, it just said ‘yes’ to 240 years!)

😂😂

Try it!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you Plenny, suze and Leigh. I do work at my sponsor's business part time and my old boss at the hospital said absolutely come back. I haven't done any surgical teching since the horrible hangovers and daily withdrawals so I'm looking forward to it. If and probably when i go back, I will feel more confident, not be hiding my hangover, no longer have uncontrollable shakes and hopefully anxiety will be much less or maybe gone altogether. Plus I will enjoy being back to earning more money that isn't wasted on drugs and alcohol. I know I am capable.

Today was bearable, but tomorrow I am the only one scheduled for 15+. 3 more days and then I am done with this job and off to see the Pacific Ocean for the first time! Already scouted out a meeting for the 2nd day there. So excited. Also today is 100 days!

Congrats snuf, rar and everyone, especially to those of us who had hard days and stayed strong. Much love <3

Very brusque, boom & boom, lots of pressure on my jaw! 3 shots, I still have a lump on my jaw where one of the shots were given.
Anyway, my kind regular dentist prescribed me antibiotics. And suggested taking them with Ibuprofen. I'm just about to do that, hopefully a better. Nights sleep tonight.
Oh yes! Checking in for my next 24 too!
Night all,
Bobbi

I fell back in love with exercising, I was always an avid reader, it when drinking I often lost track, and found myself forgetting what I'd read, now I'm like a sponge again. I also have been more present in every area of my life, and mindfulness has been the thing that has helped me with that.

How I pine to get to the place where I can easily offer my 24 hours of abstinence from the hell that is food addiction. God help me, I can't do this on my own.
