Finally Friday! Got video games and snacking on the books for tonight, then D&D and snacking scheduled for tomorrow night. Sunday I gotta edit and turn in a paper for class, which is less exciting.

Anyhow, Happy Friday morning (or Friday evening) to you all! Looking forward to a sober weekend!

IWNDWYT!

Gotta ask what kind of class. :)

Intro to Public Administration! As someone who is hella into politics, it's pretty interesting, even if some of the essays are a bit stressful. Though, I suppose it wouldn't be a university course if it wasn't stressful.

Edit: Also to add, fuck, coming into work and using breaks to pull sources while drinking coffee is sooooooo much easier with a clear mind, holy shit.

Struggling a bit today. Just found out my job contract is coming to an end soon. So I'll be unemployed going into the hardest time of year to get hired. Time to go back to ramen I guess.

I find it really hard to reach out when the cravings still get bad. Blah. Sorry for the vent. I did hit a month sober yesterday, so I guess there's that.

Congrats on one month sober! sorry to hear about the not so great news, but that is awesome!

Congrats on a month! Something to be proud of. Vent away when needed. :)

I'm so sorry to hear that my friend! I hope you find work quickly. You're going to be more up to the challenge with a month of sobriety under your belt, though. Congratulations there, that's no small potatoes!
