YAY!!! That’s awesome. And at 5:55an 
Checking in meh… Yesterday was rough on the ED side and then I was like why not let it all go to hell, I started on a relapse in my ED and stopped myself. It’s the closest I’ve come yet, and it terrifies me. I’m stronger today, but concerned, and my mind is consumed. I don’t know what triggered it, so I’ll have to dig deep. The only thing I can think of is that I’m trying to quit coffee in order to battle rosacea, and it’s REALLY hard for me. Today is my 3rd or 4th day of that. I don’t know, would have to check my counter. Don’t care. Just know I’m feeling deprived. It was the only little vice I had left. But my rosacea is insanely bad, and I’m ashamed of how I look. I’m taking a new supplement someone mentioned on here, and trying whatever I can. No insurance, wah.

I quit drinking for life because I’m trying to lose weight & I’m an 11 year bulimic. Theory about alcohol messing with my willpower proved to be right. First week without a binge or a purge in a very long time & I’m stupid proud of myself

Is the supplement St. John’s Wort?

No… it’s chlorella spirulina.
I’ve noticed a very slight difference in my face, but just started a few days ago. I also started on probiotics a few weeks back so fingers crossed.

Day12.
I was up early, showered, picked up (watching Patton that happened to be on when I started the TV). Now I am taking a 5 mile walk,
getting triple espresso and coffee cake. Once home I will kit up and do a bike ride. Not sure about lunch yet.

Sober twins, we are on day 12; two days away from two full weeks!!! I feel great today and I hope you do as well!! It is Saturday, so keep your guards up!!!
First thing this morning I had a quick thought of getting a bottle. Popped in from nowhere; weekends do weird stuff to me. I put it down using my Smart tools 
. I guess those thoughts will never go away after so many years of training mind and body on my DOC.
Stay strong everyone!!!

Almost ready to jump (more of a crawl-certainly not a stagger) into day 7.
Whilst walking home I needed to call and get some ingredients as I’m making a couple of curries tonight. I’m walking along thinking shall I call in and just have 1? I checked my pocket for money and the first coin I saw was my sobriety chip. After seeing that I thought if I call in for one then that one pint will define my weekend and I’d be back to square one. The thought of coming on here and telling you all I’d caved in sickend me.
So here I am at home feeling good about myself.

I was talking to a couple at coffee that are from out of town. Virginia to be exact. They introduced their children as Haywood, Landon, and Fielding. WTF kind of names are those? Is this a new trend in baby naming?
A Virginia thing?
Sorry, just venting.

Day 49. I missed posting yesterday because of a hellish day at work, and then working late last night at my occasional job. As I look at where I am now versus where I was a couple of months ago the difference is night and day. Some of the stresses I’ve been going through lately would have had me drowning in a bottle not that long ago, perpetuating a vicious cycle of self-anger and loathing. However not today. Today I am seeing things for what they are with a clear mind. I pray this journey of healing continues and that I grow stronger in my sobriety each day. Today I remain vigilant and grateful for where I am. Have a great weekend, folks. Blessings to you wherever you are on your journey. <3

Day 27!! I drove to CA yesterday… Checking in quickly as I escaped my sisters house to get us coffee. My nephew wants to play with me all day! Woke up to him at my bedside. Feeling blessed that I am not hiding addictions from everyone or craving/ and contestantly thinking about when I can drink alcohol. I didnt realize how much seeing my sister might be a trigger. She is highly opinionated and judgmental and asks me so many questions. I dont know why she unintentionally makes me feel bad about myself. Deep breaths helps me a lot. And practicing my gratitude.
