Hello fellow weekenders it was a rough week for me as well but ending on a good note so far… For several reasons… One is that you all are here and I love to read all of your posts, except of course for the sad ones.
My prayers for snufkins. I really wish that we could change for our own sake’s so much easier than it was for us to go down a slippery slope. But it’s not. It’s so hard.
I think I had a successful interview for a new position this afternoon as my job has been absolutely brutal . I ran 4.5 miles today with my dog and the weather was lovely in the 60s Fahrenheit
congratulations for all of those entering yet another sober weekend, and my good vibes are moving across the land and the pond to anyone who needs support .

I'm going to log off for the night.
Sober Friday is going in the books, there is no chance whatsoever I'll pick up a drink or drug tonight.
I did have potato chips, BUT, I didn't buy the froyo or the cookies, so I'm calling that a win. Fridays do tend to be my, "What the heck, I'm at the store and lookie at that," days.
Progress, not perfection. Lays 50% Less Salt Chips - pretty good! I keep trying to find chips that are like the Charles Chips of my childhood. These were pretty close!
What kind of a business model home- delivers snack food in huge food trucks? That would be Charles Chips.
I can buy one of their "vintage" big cans for only $17 (empty and pretty beat up!) on eBay. Yeah, that's just what I need...

No need to be sorry Venus! You care about others so, so much which is an absolutely wonderful quality and nothing you should ever feel like apologising for! <3
Glad to hear the interview went well Free , I hope you get the job!!
Enjoy the tournament Bernie! I like the concept of golfing but I am not very good at it...
Bimini, I must admit I ordered crisps / chips online before... They arrived in perfect condition Have a good night!

I'll give it another go tomorrow, then I will plan it a bit more carefully

Tonight I already feel anxious the moment I decided it's bed time. I think I am a bit traumatised by my latest hospital stay actually. During the end of the surgery they gave me a type of pain medication that my body can't metabolise properly, so it doesn't work and when I woke up from the anaesthesia I could feel the whole pain of a freshly cut open thigh and from having screws and big metal put into my thigh bone. I was screaming my lungs out and it was the most horrible thing. They put me back asleep and woke me up again and the same thing happened cause they kept giving me the wrong meds. The surgery only lasted an hour but it took them 4 hours to get me to a state in which I was awake and not in the most horrible pain.
Just had to get this out, maybe now I can sleep (better).

Sorry for posting yet again...
Right now I feel like drinking looks like an option (not a good one) again, for the first time in months. My life has been so painful so far and it gets too much to process or deal with sometimes. I never get quite enough time to recover from one painful thing when the next already happens. It keeps adding. I wish I could still numb it, just for a night. Like I could do it with the booze for a while. I know it stopped working for me and I don't want to go back to having to drink all day every day ever again. I just wish I could turn off the pain sometimes. Constant pain. It's so hard. Sometimes I really lose hope that it will change. I am still young, I don't want my future to be as painful as my past was. But it keeps coming. Always more pain. And more. I am so exhausted.
And I have to go through it alone. Always alone when life gets tough. It's always the same, it just keeps repeating.
