24 Hour Recovery Connections Part 390
Day 9 is feeling like a very good day! 24 more hours please on this wonderful Tuesday.
I'm feeling exponentially better each day I wake up sober.
I had a wonderful surprise yesterday when I came home from work. My 17 year-old grandson that lives with me cleaned my house! That kid is always cleaning his bedroom and yesterday, he decided to reorganize the basement, clean the main floor and clean the upstairs. He vacuumed everything, even the stairs and is now going to rent a carpet cleaner and clean all my carpeting! Gottal love a kid that likes to clean, LOL!
Well, I'm at work so I need to get back to it.
I'll try to check in later this evening and see just how everyone is doing.
Keeping you all close to my heart <3

Thank you suze! I love that you are proud of me. Not many people in my life know about my sobriety struggle but the ones who do are cheering me on and I so appreciate it.
Thanks Dee, Kris and Leigh. What a lovely, beautiful song. I definitely think you could replace sobriety with love in the verses, although it might not flow as well syllabically! (I know that's probably not a word)
Today was another nightmare. Such a new and very deep appreciation for teachers. They're the real MVP's. It's amazing how one disruptive, violent child can change the day. 21 campers today 6am to 7pm and my co-worker wants my calendar of planned activities for the rest of camp. I'm exhausted tonight and can't even brain Excel right now, so it will have to wait. I look forward to getting to spend more time on here very soon. I miss following everyone's journeys. You miss out on alot of inspiration when you're only checking in for 24! Much love <3

I'm here on day 6, feeling like it's soooooo much longer. Probably because once the first horrible few days are over I feel so much different as if I've had a long time to heal. But, it's early days for sure.
I know there's folks out there feeling frustrated and angry and I want to contribute something that I have learned -- and often forget -- about guilt and disappointment. These feelings come from expectation and from the conditioning we receive about perfection. Within the context of trying to get better and skirting the edge sometimes of our sanity we are all succeeding. In the real universe there are no lines, no boundaries, so to deviate at times is completely, literally, natural. We as humans often punish ourselves for our nature. The feelings of guilt really make the work we are doing harder, and then there is just more work to do, undoing guilt. Please let's forgive ourselves, make an inner dialogue with ourselves of love and forgiveness. Instead of perpetuating all the negative talk and judgement, which only steers our brains and beings in those negative spirals. Let's not subscribe to them and let's counteract with messages of acceptance and the bravery to use these deviations as important learning experiences....
A friend of mine posted his 5 year chip today. He said, "5 years. The most psychedelic experience of my life." That's the kind of journey I want to forge
