Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Luke Hand's latest diary entry offers a candid glimpse into his day, packed with everyday mishaps and moments of gratitude. Luke shares his Tuesday, 6th May 2025, starting with a good night's sleep and a breakfast choice that might raise eyebrows—pizza! His day unfolds with routine activities, from watering the garden to working a café shift at the community centre.

Unfortunately, the coffee machine had other plans, leaving Luke with a burn on his arm. The day didn't get much easier as Luke later cut his finger on a mandolin while washing dishes at the restaurant. Despite these 'bloody wars,' as he humorously puts it, there were bright spots too. Luke was touched by a thoughtful gift—a cool painting from his friend Liam, which he deeply appreciated.

Throughout the day, Luke's mood hovered around a 5, with energy slightly lower at 4.5. He candidly logs his moods in his sobriety app, noting feeling 'triggered' but also grateful for the support and gestures from friends. After a shower and some laundry, he unwinds with footy shows, staying connected with the happenings in the sports world. Luke's diary is a testament to the ups and downs of daily life in recovery.

It’s a reminder that even on challenging days, moments of gratitude can shine through. So, what keeps you going on tough days?
