:star: I had a shit day at work and didn't want to go to my second job tonight but I went and even tho it was pretty crazy I did it and it turned out to be quite fun. I felt urgy all day but going to work tonight and coming home to friends and chilling out has got me through the day. Well done me, I didn't think I was going to make it through today without a slip.

I put off drinking for as long as I can
I sorted out some very important stuff that involved having to confront people BY MYSELF (this is HUGE)
I paid a lot of bills today
I bleached the ENTIRE bathroom
I dusted the last shelves I had to get to in the common room
I played with Teeks
I had Spaghetti-O's for lunch today xD
there is, in the end, the letting go.
