I know that I can’t have ANY alcohol in my house right now. I’m on day 25. I’m so glad your wife is supporting you in this! Glad you’re here and just wanted to encourage you to keep going one day at a time!

Yay! Day 8!! I hear the sleep gets better. I’m finally to where I can sleep without waking up a bunch of times but it took a couple of weeks. I still wake up feeling tired but I hope that will change soon. I feel ya on the sweets. I’m struggling big time with that. Justifying overeating sweets because at least I’m not drinking. But sugar is going to have to go here soon. I’m uncomfortable in my own skin with how much weight I’ve gained. Since I’m already at 24 days I think I’m going to give myself until 30 and then really dial back on the carbs and sugar. I don’t want a food addiction on top of alcohol. But maybe I’m already there?? If I’m not thinking about alcohol, I’m thinking about food. I’ve been talking to my therapist about all of it and it comes down to a control thing. Still lots of room to grow and improve.

Yes sleep will get better eventually. It took me about a month for my sleep pattern to normalize and I also never had a sweet tooth until I quit drinking and I still drink a couple of cups of hot chocolate before I crash at night (I am enjoying one now). Just hang in there and soon you will be sleeping much better!

I hope my oldest and I will be like your daughter and you. Breaks my hard daily that we barely speak. We are going to counseling but I just don’t know how this is going to work. I am too afraid to contact her & she only gives me one sentence emails

This was my experience on the weekend. Neighbors thought I had a heart attack and called the ambulance. How embarrassing. Time to STOP. Alchol only leads to destruction.

Day 23
Missed riding the bike today 
, but I had tons of chores to get done around the house. I looked up after working outside all day and it was 5:30. Had to stop to eat and get cracking on work for tomorrow. Feeling tired, but in a good physical kind of way. Being is busy is good for me since it keeps my mind from wandering. When my mind wanders bad things happen!
Hope everyone is having a good close to the weekend. Stay sober everyone!!!

Checking In: 53. Coming off 3 in a row and flipping. Grumpy and tired AF, but managed to have a good evening with my kiddos and their dad. They wanted to carve pumpkins this evening 
and invited me over. Didn’t question as to why so early… and in Texas. Just glad they wanted my company. Brought my boys home after. Wishing you guys and gals a good evening.

Have you identified the reasons as to why you continue to relapse? Is there something you can do or change right now?

I think checking in here is a good thing. That means you haven’t given up on yourself. Right? Like others mentioned, maybe take a hard look at what happens or what to are feeling right before you relapse. Identifying that may give you some power over the urges. I’m new here & to sobriety in general so I don’t have much else to offer. But I’m glad you reached out.

Day 63…day 3 festival. Over and done, sober AF! I’m pretty much in shock with myself. I can’t believe I made it through with out one drink. It was so hot, the high was 99F. The festival goers for weekend 2 next weekend will be getting 70 degree weather. It’s going to be so nice for them. Highlight of the day was Lizzo. She is all about loving yourself and believing in yourself. Something we all should do more of. Someone made a Lizzo flag and gave her hair. . It was awesome

- Luna likes it that the heat is on so she can lie in her favourite winter spot on the heated windowsill. I’m preparing for my trip tomorrow. Talked to my friend in Texas about triggers (I drank quite a lot with her last time I was there a year ago). I think we got the subject covered. Will be cautiously guarding my sobriety. Love the clean and sober me. Have a great week all! Clean and sober that is. Love from Amsterdam.
