Day 9 sober. Temptations started yesterday evening. I have to see them as turbulences and resist. To see my friends and gathering in the group almost everyday is helpful. The worst moments are in the night

The nails… I don’t cut his either. We have this silent war going on cause he thinks that our kitchen table is his lounge. Yesterday he left good scratches when I was removing him

Well done on 9 days. I also felt pretty vulnerable around this time. Had to dig deep but I just accepted it for what it was, a healing process for the future not a craving from the past. Even if it becomes getting through a minute at a time and wanting to scream nothing is worth drinking for… Be strong Be You.

@SoberWalker same, same, same! I find myself stressing out about winter coming already even though we are currently in a heatwave where I live. You can smell fall in the air. I get so down in the winter. I’m intrigued by the sunlight lamp. I need to look that up. Hang in there. I’ve been trying to brainstorm on how to not let it be so impactful this year.

One day down, starting day 2. Silly me was really hoping to feel like a million bucks today. Ha! I have a very busy day ahead of me, and a project at work has me pretty stressed. I’ll get through it. It’s a lot of pressure for me as a business owner. Oh the days of just collecting a guaranteed paycheck.
Anyway, grateful to be sober today.

Well done on making the decision to get sober. By day 2 I am usually still a bit hungover so the happy bit doesnt come for a while for me.
I’m self employed too and a few people on here are business owners so you’re among friends that know the stress. Good luck on your project and let us know how it goes!

Vitamin D tablets might help you I’m not sure if they actually do anything for me or just a placebo. Just a thought.

I served Nick Nolte before lunch at a bar where I worked 20+ years ago. The mugshots only hint at the wreckage.
Day 208
Lots of posts to catch up on this morning. That means I slept through the night.
Sounds like I’m talking about a baby when I say that. 
Up for today, tackle Eve’s doggie toenails. She is not a fan of this procedure, but the new Dremel tool I got seems to be less traumatic, for us both.
Have a wickedly wonderful Wednesday!!

Wow! Yikes, I can only imagine.
@Rob68 thank you! I know I’m a huge disappointment to my kids and ex husbands, and my poor parents. I know I can do this. Have a great day 
Excellent plan! I’m the opposite in that I have no energy. My neighborhood is doing a garage sale next month & the idea of cleaning out closets and such overwhelms me. So I’m going to pass on this one this year. Best of luck!
Day 22! My body is telling me to have a lazy day so I’m going to listen
