Kenton you don’t deserve or need that negativity in your life. You’re amazing. Surround yourself only with those who appreciate, support and love you ❤️
Suze I hope you’re feeling more grounded and peaceful after some quiet time
(((Sunflowerlife))) I hope things work out better for you soon, sending you a big hug
I’m glad to wake up sober today after a huge craving tried to bowl me over yesterday. It was fleeting thank goodness, in response to an unexpected trigger, but it left several aftershocks, a bit like an earthquake.... (it was my Mum’s birthday and the first without her here, so I have been very emotionally fragile so probably should have expected to be more vulnerable to the AV).
It’s a sunny Sunday morning here and I’m off to a yoga class and then a walk on the beach. 24 more please

Good evening or morning,
I am recovering from the California trip. Masses of people at the conference; something like 20,000! And the city was packed with tourists already, so yikes! I did ok but retreated a lot when I felt overwhelmed. Took lots of pictures and tried to manage anxiety but it got to me . I went into this very run-down after months of serious illness/ near death/brother having a breakdown in my family do why do I feel guilty that I didn’t do more/be more, etc. ? I’m just glad I got to go at all, and make a showing here and there.
I feel pretty off-track so it’s back to basics: reading, rest, normal home-cooked food and visits with family tomorrow . I’m really scared about what’s to come..like I’m expecting the worst so I need to grab onto some hands and find a way to get my chin up. I can’t isolate..need some recovery friends that I can help and who can help me. I think I’ve come to the right place. When I feel less run-down and anxious other activities will follow. It’s just a brutal time. One thing I know for sure is that a drink would make it all far worse.

).I just applied for it and I believe I can make it work without working Saturdays and Sundays. I will have to work 2 late nights a week until school starts back up. I want the money- I really want a new car and to save more for the next round of classes I take, whatever they may be. I'm working towards so many goals and I need more $$ to get there which is a beautiful thing! I have already been a manager in the department in the past (different store) so hopefully they will be okay with my limited availability and my salary request!
Love you...

I would have been hiding in my room as much as possible! That is a lot and you have been through a lot. Go easy on yourself and get some rest when you can. And sobriety is the best way through all of this, as you know. I can't even believe we used to drink when our lives were falling apart. How on earth did that ever help? It just didn't.

Our recoveries are something to hold on to, guaranteed. There are good things and good signs today, friends, lots of hope. I really need to stay in today. No, it never helped me cope before so I’ll definitely ride this out. It is like a wave. I’m tired so the gloom set in, and I can’t roll around in that. Ignoring the head chatter is best right now...a good dinner and an early night with a book. I’ll do a good workout in the morning.Thank you for understanding —I thought I was being anti-social or something by not going all-day and attending networking stuff at night. I’m not alone with that wish that it was 200 people instead, I’m sure. I appreciate you taking the time to share.
Xx
