Trying not to cry. Fibromyalgia sucks. Any kind of chronic condition sucks. There's no point in philosophizing it.
On the good side...my super said I can take the day off tomorrow to rest up. The sun is out today. I woke up sober. 🙏
Good morning...I have not been able to sleep well the past few nights. Probably from my fibromyalgia. It's driving me insane. I feel like I'm on the verge of a mini breakdown. 😞 I'm not asking for pity. I don't want to drink or use. I'm just exhausted and want to give up...
Man I'm PMSy today LOL good thing I have a program today. I'm leaving work an hour early to go to my PCP appointment to go over my labs. Then I have my online nutritionist appointment. I definitely want to go to the gym. I'm obsessed with working out now hehe. I'm going to hit up a meeting as well.
I SO agree!!!

I won't lie, I feel like isolating lately and not really talking to many people. I feel like what's the point in talking if I accidentally hurt someone. I'd rather be quiet. I can see why I was by myself for so long...
I compared my previous liver panel test to my current one...my levels have gotten SO much better! YAY! 🥰
I'm a bit sad...I got my lab results and one of my liver enzymes is still a bit elevated. It seems that my fatty liver condition hasn't improved. I have to do a better job with my diet. Sugar is my kryptonite!
Good morning 🌞 I woke up in so much pain from my fibromyalgia. Made it to work a little late but I'm here. My supervisor is very understanding which I'm grateful for. 🙏
Aw thanks love. 💜
I think I'm a little depressed. But I'm staying positive and hopeful. The sun is shining. I'm sober and alive. That is more than enough for me. 💜

So my friend relapsed on alcohol over the weekend and then did crack and coke. She kind of wants to go to a mental health hospital. I think that would be so good for her. I don't want to pressure her, though. She needs a lot more help for her mental illness. 🙏

“By applying the principles of the program, I have gained my freedom – freedom to be myself, to like myself as I am, to become whatever it is that my Higher Power has planned for me, one day at a time – freedom to live the type of life I’m most comfortable with, to love, and to laugh.”
Aww thank you so much 💜 your kind words mean so much. Yes, I will not give up on her. I relapsed many times myself before.

Awww I'm so sorry to hear 🥺 yes it is very painful...but I agree, we can show them that recovery is possible and that they deserve it. I fear that my friend doesn't believe she deserves sobriety. I know that was the case for me, and a big reason why I kept relapsing. 🙏
I’m sorry, I know you feel helpless and maybe even betrayed. I have been there more than once with my bestie. The most important thing we can do is stay strong in our sobriety and live by example. I always hope that she will see what I have and want it for herself. So far, she’s always come back. 🫂💛
Thank you love 🙏
Prayers for the still suffering alcoholic/addict 🙏
Good morning...
A close friend told me that she drank over the weekend.
She texted me today saying that she did coke yesterday. She's isolating and not talking to anyone. 😢 I'm praying hard for her.

I have two friends in the hospital right now 🥺 I'm praying hard for them. I'm going to visit them at the hospital tomorrow if they're still there. 🙏
I am truly amazed that I am still sober despite the past two very emotional weeks. I think it's really a testament to the 12 steps, my psych meds, and all the support I have. Old Vanessa would have been on an epic bender with the sole intent of self-destruction. Not today. 🙏

I'm paying off my credit card bill and then I will focus on my application for graduate school. I'm going to get my Master's in Mental Health Counseling. It's a hard job, sure. But every job has its difficulties. 💙
