Day 25
Day 25 @i_am_sober_app have Milestone notifications that cheer you on with your sobriety. I would be lost without mine and almost certainly resort to secret drinking because that what I used to do when I thought no one was watching.

Day 11
WHY I DRANK 1. I had a good day. In a stressful and unpredictable job/world, I’ll latch onto to any reason to celebrate. Which isn’t necessarily alcoholic speak for: I’ll take any excuse to drink. When I feel good, I have an urgent need to make the most of that euphoria before it gets away from me. I thought good times were a gift. A limited, one-time-only offer. I had to give myself all I could get. I hadn’t realised that the good days are something I can give to myself. I don’t have to wait around. I just have to take action. Get a strategy. Gently remind me that I have conditioned myself to believe I don’t deserve to be happy. That fuelling the good times with drink won’t make them last longer. That the good feelings won’t run away from me because they’re already within me.

The places I slept while homeless, mentally ill
When you’re homeless, you’re lucky if you can get any sleep at all. Cops run you off when you fall sleep on park benches. Lie down somewhere covered with a blanket, like in a park, and you’re violating the camping ordinance and can get a ticket. At least that’s how it worked in Denver when I experienced homelessness.
