Day 375
Pffff, I had the day off yesterday but is was still an emotional rollercoaster
Walked and had lunch with a friend. We got lost but thanks to Google maps we found our way back out of the forrest two houres later. But saw this beauties:
Got a phonecall from work from a very irritated co worker who explained me that because of lack of personal elsewere someone has decided to upgrate our maximum working houres to let us work in other stores. And all that without asking or at least tell me in person. She heared it from another store member And when I called the area manager to verify she had a long weekend off. I like my job, but I definitely do not like the organisation I’m working for!
In the evening I went to the tattoo shop to discuss my new tattoo. Also have a date for the first session! 9 weeks to go and count down!!
Let’s do another day sober friends!
Coffee. Day off. I slept ok. Got a busy day ahead with probably lots of coffee drinking . Hope to avoid the showers . I’m sure I’ll avoid stupid drinking. Love the sober me. Have a great day all! Clean and sober that is. Love from Amsterdam.
Day 11 checking in. Its been a tough week starting a new business (craving because of stress) and then making first sales (craving because of success) but I wake up on this surprisingly sunny Friday morning hangover free and ready to kick the day in the ass.
Yesterday hiked mount snowdon in wales, was 9.1 miles on the miners path which was pretty tough, especially in Jean’s which were soaked! Few pics below.
Day 25 - kinda excited! New Sturgill Simpson release, Jonathan Wilson show tonight (first sober concert in at least a decade). Have a great day everyone!
@Quitter02 all my counters reset to January 01, 0001. It was nuts. I thought I was the only one because no one said anything. That was yesterday. They seem ok today.
Starting day 4… my body hates me as it should. I’m looking at a few new gyms next week. I start my IF (intermittent fasting) back today, gym on Monday. I keep losing weight on these past few benders and I’m now quite underweight. I never seem to eat when I’m drinking. How gross my insides must be. Glad these last few were short lived.
Glad it’s Friday. My 13 year old daughter will be home this weekend. I’m going to take her to lunch and a manicure on Saturday. Hiking on Sunday
Oooof I’m so glad I stayed strong last night. Got close. My bf was working at someone else’s house and told me he wasn’t going to be home until late… huge trigger for me! I literally had my shoes on ready to jump in the car and go buy booze TWICE … but fortunately, both times I was able to stop and think, pull out of it and take my shoes back off and sit back down. And I am glad I didnt go get booze because he didnt get home very late, and we spent a little time playing with our dog and talking and cuddling before going to sleep. I can just tell that he is happier to be around me and and he seems more loving and we actually connect and have a meaningful time together when I’m not drinking. It is a really great positive reinforcement for me.
So checking in for another day. I feel a little sick and achey though but I’ve read that a lot of people experience that early on.
@Fargesia_murielae thanks! The update was groovy but didn’t fix it. However, I remembered my dates Now I just keep getting kicked of the app. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
I gave up the cigarettes with the drink and I’m only on day two… At the moment I am on a bit of an up… Especially since finding this site… (even though I have yet to know how to use it properly) but your post helped me realise this up is merely something to remember when the cravings really come tumbling in… Hopefully by then, my Newby status whereby I have limited reply posts will be lifted!
ALL the best… And thanks for your post. Makes me feel I can be more prepared!
