24 more please. With a side of whatever the universe thinks i need tomorrow to be a better me. If that includes running the camera or working with that one doc I dread, i accept it and am ready to make friends with my fear.
Love you too girl. I'm going through some tough times but it's thinking of you and others like you that has kept me going. I am really grappling at one day at a time here. And there have been some close calls lately I'm not gonna lie.

I have to remember that I'm trying to uncover the person beneath the drinking and the drugs and heal her. 24 hours at a time.

Relapse ......

Oh, "it's just a hiccup" or "I'm a chronic relapser" " This is my ______ Rehab!", "It just doesn't stick I guess" {Recovery/Sobriety**. Some of the stereotypical excuses.

MY Home Group is the Big Book Study on Saturday morning. Which welcomes ANY addict. My Family included. Thank the Universe.

Last night another friend in our meeting , I guess some might say, went out again. OH ya....he died...heroin overdose! He's the 4th one us who died in this month. Heroin OD was the cause in each one of this month's deaths.

Please don't think Relapse is no biggie and you'll be back. My heart is sickened tonight. No Relapse is NOT part of my Recovery, or Ken's or Mark's.

It really does just take one time, then your family & friends world is forever changed.

Yes, I'll sign in for my next 24.
RIP Mike.
Bobbi

Such a sad world where so many risk their lives to get high.

I'm glad to commit to sobriety for the next 24 hours.

Since I started painting again I feel a lot less lonely somehow. It's good for my mood. And I love the new brushes I got, they are the thinnest ones I've ever seen. It'll take ages to finish the owl but I like it, then I don't have to come up with anything new to paint for another week or so.
It might be nice to get some food in the house though Kev, and it sounds like she will help you tidy up a little. Maybe you can let her l is you would love for her to stop by for a short time because you are still working on getting your energy back.

I am so glad that painting is helping. And, I do think it's important to set boundaries with people when you are feeling drained. Even if they just want to take care of you. Maybe even one more day to recharge before you see her will help.... and if you two generally get along, maybe after a few minutes you'll be glad you have her as a visitor. Then when she's finished helping you out you will have sweet solitude again.

Blessed are the cheesemakers... oh and John Cleese as a Roman soldier correcting his Latin grammar Romani eunt domus / Romans go home I think that’s The Life of Brian tho. I saw their stage show at the o2 arena a while ago. Good stuff. Need more laughter.

Morning All. Some more great milestones today. Well done you lot!!!

Weav in for 24 more at 7:24am period started - all the windows in the house now safe! Harvest underway here. Skyscrapers of massive straw bales have popped up across the landscape. They worked hard over night under a big harvest moon to bring in the wheat. A big thank you to farmers everywhere keeping us fed 🖤

Good morning all.
I love waking up to read such caring support on our little thread. It's pretty amazing how we open up so completely and receive such genuine affection in return. How wonderful!
I would love another 24 hours of sobriety please ❤❤❤
