@lifeswhatyoumakeit congratulations for the 100 days!!! Enjoy this milestone. I feel happy for you!!
So great to see your doing so well and getting through them day x
Day 11 and I’m off to work . Went to a beautiful aa meeting done by candlelight last night. I feel so lit up today and so greatful to get given a 2ed chance at recovery. I’m learning daily of what and who triggers me and using my tools to put boundaries in place. This time round I’ve also learning I need to do this for me and put myself first. I’m terrible at trying to save others and forget my worth at times . Wishing every one a beautiful day x x x
Well done you!! Congrats and hugs
Checking in on day 9
Checking day 12. Missed my ex yesterday which is why I absolutely must stay sober.
@Bomdhil I can definitely relate to that. I’m not sure what causes your fatigue, but dietary changes and intermittent fasting have helped me so much with mental clarity and energy. Keep going, you’re doing great
Good morning everyone!Day 18 for me. For the first time since forever I got up at 4am and willed myself to run. I feel absolutely fantastic. I remind myself everyone morning that today, I will not pickup a drink.
I’m not hungover, regretful or ashamed. I’m Alive and Well. Time to get ready for work now! I just wanted to say that I Love you all! Let’s continue to Live/Life ^.^
17.45 Days… I realized my last slip might be due to anxiety over husband number one getting remarried. He’s marrying the woman he cheated on me with. The wedding is next Saturday and I’m becoming more anxious with each day, and mourning the loss of our family unit. Strange and fun fact, I’m so obsessed with having a cohesive blended family for the kids, that I’ve actually become very good friends with his fiancé. She didn’t know the situation when they met, and she’s very special to me. As you can imagine, those conflicting feelings cause some weirdness in me. Ugh.
I’m currently separated from husband number two, who I convince myself that I love and miss. He’s horrifically physically and mentally abusive. A very sick man (psychopath/sociopath). I thought I could help him. It’s time to help me now. He keeps sucking me back in and tricking me into thinking he’s sweet or human, then destroys me. I have decided I have to be stronger and completely ignore him, which potentially puts me in danger. So I don’t know man. I’m safe right at this moment and we’ll go from there.
Happy sober FriYay!!!
@Girlinterrupted -the man I am missing is abusive as well. The conflict of remembering the sweetness and intensity of the passion with the terror of “Will I survive this?” Is impossible to describe. Hugs to you!
I know the feeling girl. Been in a kind of toxic relationship (not my first) and recently divorced. It is no wonder if you miss him cause there were good moments too and he wasn’t 100 % evil. But give it time. Separation brings up all kinds of feelings, fear, loneliness, guilt, you name it. In time, I’ve noticed, those feelings start to diminish and are replaced with self respect, strength, relieve for instance. Go a little further and you’ll see clearer. Big hug
And gtif!
Day 2. Just stopped shaking. Still sweating, can’t sleep. Been binging every single day for 15 years. If I don’t do this I’t l be an early grave for me. I have never managed more than a month…And then I had to, needed to pass a livertest at job.
I really love drinking, I’ts the best thing I know. But it killes me and I have to be strong. I want to be strong, trying to keep me occupied with other things.
I used to love cooking, hope my appetite comes on soon… hugs
Will be day 11 today @ 5:30pm
I am heading to my therapist.
I really want to go to value village next to the building.
I will go there and back.
I am thinking about cabbing it there and back
I am needing self care deeply.
Stay strong, you can do it…
I need to do this on my own, but good for u if therapy helps! Coming in here is good.
Also a good thing they don’t keep alcohol in shoppes here in sweden. Just need to pour out the 70 l of beautiful berrywine I brewed myself. I’ m so stupid…
Much grais mate, appreciate it
