Morning all

Zura-I can't imagine what you went through but so glad you are now safe. You come across as a very strong and calm person. I hope you get strength and peace in your life now.

how are you today Tanky ? I hope you had a better day at work.

Lixie -hope all went well.

Venus-have you had any success with the vaccine?

Day 6. Is it cheating to say in the last 14 weeks I drank for 10 days but was sober the rest of the time. I mean it is the truth. I know im only on day 6 but feel better when I look at an overall picture. Not that I will be using it to drink again.

Slept well but crazy dreams. Got a plan for today, Building bird feeders with Jr RAL for a project then taking him to his father's. Got some studying to to this pm. new jigsaw arriving later and new book! Wood chopping, clean car, clean house. Keep busy. Do not drink.Missed the SMART meeting this morning as I was asleep. Will go to the evening one instead. And spend the day on SR.

Take care all.xx

Keeping busy sounds like a good plan! I'm still in slow motion mode 🤣 busy but slow

Zura you are resilient . And doing amazing job at taking care of you. But I am also sorry to hear about what you had to go through.

RAL - is not cheating to think about all the sober time,, as well. It’s part of your journey. I am on Day 19, but I think is was like 126 out of last 130 days not drinking. It’s got to be helping us to get this **** right, finally, I think.

lixie - how was the appointment? How are you feeling?

elly - thanks for your thoughts on the apology scenario. I feel a bit the same as you. Like I didn’t want to give boss any ammunition. But I get why my sponsor wanted me to try to look after my side of street. She wanted me to feel better about myself, I think.

I had day off today. Because Fridays are actually my day off. They only pay me for four days a week - it’s just that I often work more than that. I resisted the urge to work anyway , like I usually do. I took Stormy to beach for nearly two hours this morning and and then crashed out in middle of day for a couple of hours. Sleep catch up time.

My brain is still all over the shop, but I feel like it is just the insanity that underlies my addiction, not actual mental health instability. But it is weird place to be. Feels like having to totally rebuild from level.

I hope you can get some relaxation time today Tanky. I also have Fridays off and intend to do the same. Beach sounds lovely and rest is so important.

Mr RAL just got his appointment for vaccine next week. so pleased. it's such a relief.

oh venus I'm so sorry to hear that. I wonder if they will change the booking/appointment system if so many people are unable to get appointments.xx

So after managing to get a vacc appt, I then braved the dentist....weII, the website....tried to caII but didn't Ieave a message, but I did request an appt on the site.

I am terrified and aIso proud of myseIf. And fIowers are needed, so I bought a ton of petunias.

That's awesome Venus about the appointments. I'm glad you will soon get some help with your dental problems ❤️

Tanky hope your sleep pattern resolves soon.

Hi all...

Exhausted after yesterday's appointment. Was initially a 45 minute thing, but I was there for an hour and a half. The therapist was warm and understanding, and she was focused on getting to know me before doing anything, really. My story made an impact on her and she said several times that my story was powerful and difficult to listen to, which was good to hear. So, I'm going back next week.

I bet it was exhausting lixie, I hope you have a very gentle weekend to replenish. This is not easy stuff. I'm so glad the therapist was warm and understanding ❤️

sounds like a potentially very good space for you, lixie. So glad you felt heard and therapist was warm and understanding. Please take time to be proud of yourself for getting there and being able to speak. And don’t forget to be kind to yourself afterwards, that self-care stuff. Therapy , even good therapy, can sometimes leave us a bit shaky.
