That sounds pretty good. I might look into getting the supplies next time I'm at the store. What do you do with the cinnamon stick? Do you re use it?

I'm feeling like I'm in a bad mood. I have a headache, and i think thats because I hadn't taken my blood pressure meds, really all of my meds for the last 2 days. So just now i took everything, even the sleep meds, hopefully it'll put me back to sleep for a little while.

Sleep is so important!
For fighting off tour cold symptoms, and lifting your mood, too.
Hope you can get some good one now!

I fuck with ginger a lot because I have frequent episodes of nausea that come from no where and it's a shitty feeling that I can't shake unless I take something. I guess it's just years and years of drinking everything from hard liquor, to GBL, mouthwash & hand sanitizer:/
So yeah I'm always about trying something different that might help, because I don't get prescription nausea medicine all that often.
I'll probably give that a try next time I go shopping and see. Would they sell everything I need at Walmart?

I'm grateful for my family, continuing to support me while I'm here in this program. I've been able to be a little more comfortable then some of the other people here, and by being comfortable I have to hide that shit and act uncomfortable a lot of the time, so no one will go and root around in my fucking shit for meds, cigs, vapes or anything else they can get their nasty hands on.

Fresh dried hibiscus flowers aren't at Wal-Mart I don't think but I'm sure hibiscus teabags are,a good start,but the flowers with cinnamon, cloves are amazballs,put ginger in there too
 
I'm grateful for having an extension at an oxford house. (They have been waiting on me to complete the program that I've been in). Usually they don't extend a bed hold, though luckily i am already cook with a lot of the men at the house because we were all in a different sober living around the same time, so I'm grateful for that too.
I'm grateful for my suboxone medication this morning, because even though I'm prescribed 3 8mg strips a day, I had cut myself down to 1 full strip in the morning & a partial 4mg strip in the afternoon, and i feel normal.
 
My mom♥️. With the shit I've been going through and dealing with this 'treatment' I'm in, and them attempting to 'rugpull' me after almost 90 days of going to their classes and meetings and staying sober & with them telling me literally that I can get discharged at any moment.
Makes me love her even more for listening to me vent, and her telling me that everything is going to be okay, that in worse case scenario then we'll have a plan in order, that no matter what it's going to be okay♥️, and getting assurance like that man just tells me that I love my mom to death man.
I know that I won't have her in my life forever, I'm just using all of the mommy tokens I've got left, and it's a huge sign of relief having her on my side as long as I'm sober. ♥️

They are awesome soldiers battling together with you. That's what they are for. I am glad that they are the best support ever, of course, and you are all safe and together for each other too. Best Wish's keep going. I was kind of worried. lol. That place. omg.
 
I am grateful for being able to be grateful. :rolleyes: And I keep trying.
But in the reality of it all I could use some therapy too and that it would be good.
Hopefully I would be able to get some meds. Proper.

I think it is possible to be able to try to find something to be grateful for everyday.

And to just keep trying until you can find something more all of the time.

Or just one thing. Everyday. I am grateful that there still can be things to be grateful for. :rolleyes:🙏


<3


And for hello's and good-byes. :rolleyes:

~~~~

There are many things out there to be grateful for.
 
Just yesterday I had a moment that happens to me every now & then-- for no particular reason I was suddenly startled by the fact of my own existence.

It's a little scary, a bit absurd, extremely mysterious...and always steeped in a sense of gratitude. I cherish those moments.
