Hi. I’ve been a “lurker” on TS for going on close to a year. This is my first post, and I’ll be posting more. I’m on day 2. Appreciate all the support TS will bring.

Yes! My stomach is still adjusting to keto though… how long did it take for you to adjust to the different amounts of protein and fat in your diet?
It can take awhile. Are you taking a magnesium supplement? That might help.

Checkin in. Getting ready to restart my work week. I’ll be working overnights and doing school work. Plan to manage anxiety/stress with my treadmill and exercise bike. Lets have a good sober week everyone

I have a dinner fundraiser tomorrow to go to too with my husband. He’s not drinking either. He can take it or leave it. Sparkling water for me! It’s a wine pairing too. Ugh. My doc. Tickets were bought months ago before I went to rehab. I’ve got this and hub is my support. Can’t hide from it! Love your dinner declaration from the get go!

While sitting in a meeting on my 500th day and waiting for it to start, we were talking about birthdays this month. Though one person was taking his 38 year chip tonight, the conversation revolved around this: No matter how much clean time we had yesterday, today is the only day that counts. Unless you used today, we’re all on an even slate. The birthday boy said, “You never have to use again even if you want to”.

I loved that book. It’s been years since I read it. That sounds like a lovely evening.

Checking in day 11.
Yesterday evening, I have received the bad news that my father had been rushed to hospital with a serious cardiac problem that leaded to water in the lungs. I am very sad, very depressed… I live 1000 kms away from them and being a teacher, I can not just take a few days to go there…
So terribly worried but continuing my sobriety journey.

Long day, ended up taking a trip to the ER. Couldn’t stand some issues I was dealing with. Got admitted and given a lovely over night stay for now at least. Possibly a wonderful colonoscopy in the morning so since around 8am this morning no foods 
. Also doing this with out the normal round about medication. Tramadol sucks, at least for me. Having ulcers it aggravates them but for now I’ll stay with that till I decide to switch if the pain continues. Found out my insurance company has been just sitting on my paperwork, but hopefully I just picked up emergency insurance since being admitted overnight through the Er sooo I got that going for me 
. All in all shit could be worse, I could be needing surgery or strung out so I’ll take the just being grateful for emergency insurance. Fuck Crohns and fuck heroin n meth. Another day sober so far, gonna try and rest for now. The insatiable desire to eat is more unsettling than the discomforting pain from the ulcers and crohns. 180 down to 165 freaked me the fuck out btw.
Hopefully sleep helps and tomorrow is a new day with new possibilities. The sooner I can get on the IV steroids and gain back the weight would be great.

- I found out where the massive headache came from the other day…hormones. Oh the flipping joy of that.
. My friend invited me to see Morrissey and Interpol this weekend…thinking I’ll have to pass to keep my sobriety in tact. Besides I’ve seen Interpol more than enough and Morrissey…meh, only if it were back with The Smiths. I might change my mind tho…sweet dreams.

Day 34, no cravings. I was putting a towel away in the garage and found a bottle of Pinot noir hidden behind other towels, 3/4 full! Didn’t think twice - in the garbage it went. So grateful not to hide and lie about my drinking anymore.
