Looks like a good day, badge.
Let's put a wrap on this day, shall we? Snufkin, you and I have to eat Lucky Charms tomorrow...That's what we must have done wrong today from what I'm getting.
Oh, wait, I have lots of meat to eat. *rawr*
Meat and vegetables all day tomorrow for me.

Hi everyone ~ Day 6 .....went grocery shopping this morning so I could come straight home after work. (I spent the same amount at the grocery store as I did in one sitting last Saturday at the bar!) 
Got my chocolate milk and hopefully I can stay home and cozy for the weekend and not have to go anywhere! Thanks everyone for being here

Their girlfriends all just stepped off the cat walk from a miss Perfect comp. They spend half their bo's soccer money on clothes and competing in their own blood sport- looking better than all the other g-f's.
A very successful soccer player has to talk intimately about their depression (being a positive role model- not about the money) and/or addiction problems...this gives them a human side.
There is yet not a soccer player married into Royalty- because they get enough of those from their sponsors - like lunchboxes and pencils. Very good soccer players also have a bio written about them in record time after being a soccer player for at least one season. Apparently here is something about a ball, manhugs and falling over very dramatically on grass and shouting out 'ref! ref!' , while clutching one's knee...

06:50am meh meh meh
I couldn’t sleep all night, I know it sounds weird, but sometimes I’m too tired to sleep.
Today I’m feeling stuck, unmotivated and I just let the negativity to consume me. This is a very dangerous place to be in. I assume there’s no escaping and I find it hard to believe that sobriety’s ever gonna change this crazy delusional brain. It’s awful how easy it is to just sit and wallow in all this filth of self-destruction. I start to think, hey dumbass, it’s too hard, just give up already! My mind is filled with thoughts of worthlessness, thoughts of being hated and unloved.
I don’t think any of this BS is true. I am not worthless, I am not hated, and there are people who care about me... it’s just really hard to climb back out of this hole.
I have a lot of drinking thoughts today. I finish my shift at 4pm and I’m thinking of going to the shop straight after to get bottles... but I won’t. Sigh. I want to give myself a chance, stay sober for a few months and see what happens. I remember my 90 sober days back in October; I was so healthy and proud of myself.
Right, off to work now.
Thank you all for your kind words and support!

It’s crazy how much money we spend on booze, right?! I think the most ridiculous thing I used to do when I was too wasted to walk to the shops for more booze, was ordering a deliveroo (online takeaway), where you can get beer or whatever delivered to your door too. The thing is, you have to order food first and I kid you not, I would spend £££ on food and then THROW IT AWAY, because I only wanted alcohol. C r a z y
