Hahaha! Thanks! Woke up with a very sore neck but other than that don’t feel too bad.
Nose is still broken and still sore but I’ll make it. :+1:
No walk this morning though. They are grounded for a day!
And congratulations on your double digits! I’m glad you are keeping it up!
Coffee is a beautiful thing and day 29 is off to a beautiful start.
Happy Thursday y’all. Stay strong! :heart:

Instead of a CR meeting, last night I visited with my brother’s family and taught my niece how to crochet. She’s a smart girl and really wanted to learn, even though it is challenging at her age. We worked on that for hours.

I’m going to see an orthopedic doctor this afternoon for some joint pain. It’s nothing I’m really worried about but would like to know what it is. I also need him to sign a work release, because my therapist can’t sign it. The only worry I have today is that my joint issues are worse than I imagined, and the doctor won’t sign.

If all goes well, I can spend more time with my extended family. I’ll probably do that instead of going to a meeting.

Hello everyone :raising_hand_man:. I’ve just gone into Day 5 no drink and :no_smoking:. Feeling very good today. It’s a good feeling walking past pubs knowing I dont need and dont want to go in. A better feeling for me is knowing I dont need to and dont want to smoke.
The house is upside down at the min (doing a lot of interior decorating) and It would have been a great excuse for me to say " Right theres nowhere to sit, let’s go out" instead I’ve just plonked my arse down in the kitchen and I’m catching up on here while the dogs are sat cross legged at the front door. I’ll have to go and take these out. Catch you all later. :+1:

I was using benadryl to sleep as well but the same thing happened to me. My doctor prescribed me hrdroxyzine and I am sleeping without the drowsiness. It has been a life saver. :blush:

Totally agree. I usually only use it to correct commands/behaviors the dog has already demonstrated it knows/understands are unacceptable. It’s not a tool I use on aggression.

However, this was definitely a worst-case scenario and I needed to use anything in my power, including higher than usual e collar levels, to stop my dog from harming another living creature.

Today is day 53 for me. I’m nervous. Not for my sobriety, but because today is my first official court date. My drinking led to poor decisions and now I am facing the consequences. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time I’ve been through this, but it doesn’t make it any easier. All I can do at this point is let my lawyer do what he can for me and continue to focus on my sobriety. I’m determined to make this the last time I put myself through this and this app has been a big help in getting me to where I am today. I’ve been sober before, but I tried to go it alone because I never wanted to admit I needed help. Well I do. Thank you, all, for being a part of my new support system.

Day 341. So today I finally plucked up the courage to go to a meditation class at my local buddhist centre. Ive been meaning to go for a few weeks but kept chickening out. I really enjoyed it and it’s given me a lot to ponder on. Im going to make it a regular thing, perhaps twice a week and see how I go. The meditations were useful (and very challenging considering Im a complete novice) and the readings were thought provoking. More than anything else tho Im super proud of myself for overcoming my anxiety and shyness, meeting some like minded people and trying something new.

And congrats to @TMAC and @SoberWalker!!! Its a pleasure to follow yor journeys here :grin:

Hope you’ve all had great sober days :+1:
