This lock down has a strange kind of blessing for me too. Keeping me from my old habit of stopping by a bar, wether I like it or not.

Day 9.
First night of good sleep. Fell asleep without anxiousness or being jittery until the wee hours of the morning and woke up feeling rested at the break of dawn.
I hate to say it but this lock down has been a real gift for me.
Oddly Covid-19 May have saved me.

Good morning everyone 48 days. I went and lifted yesterday, then went for a 8 mile bike ride, and then I still had so much time on my hands. I was so happy yesterday, and not depressed or sad or anything, but it was weird bc it just felt like something was missing, like I needed more. It was a very funky feeling bc idk what the heck I could be missing lol. Another chilly day today, and gonna go hit the weights and bike. Already miss my two beautiful girls, I can’t wait for them to come home Wednesday. I hope you all have a good Sunday, keep it everyone you all rock

239 Days alcohol free - I’m eating mindfully for 13 days strong - Out getting an oil change as I type this, going to do some pre-recorded video walkthroughs of vacant properties available for rent out of convenience for my customers. Going to pick up my dad for a birthday dinner (putting steaks on the grill for him and boyfriend). It’s supposed to snow tomorrow so I’m trying to get all of the things done today. Have a happy sober weekend everyone.

Physically still on the struggle bus, but I guess I deserve that.
Deleted Facebook for a while, because for the love of all that is good and holy. Stop. I think the negativity and fear contributed to my relapse. I know I’m not the only business facing demise, but as an empath, all I do is cry watching my clients’ businesses either shut down temporarily or for good.
They are talking about lockdown here. My brokers are panicking, so I have to put on my big girl pants and keep them motivated that we are going to pull through this, meanwhile I’m terrified myself but can’t let them know that. It’s a delicate balance because I need to show compassion for their fears while trying to also make them feel better… essentially without dismissing their fears. Not wording that right, but hopefully you get what I mean. I think I’m doing a good job, we’ll see. We’ll be video conferencing daily to maintain cohesiveness and so I can do my best to keep them upbeat, motivated, and optimistic. Coming from the half dead drunk, sigh. Fake it till you make it, right?
These are really tough and interesting times folks. Something you only see in movies. We WILL get through this. Grateful for every single one of you

That’s when I would relapse, whenever I’m at my happiest I think I can feel even better drunk. Keep your guard up, it’s fooled me one to many times.

Just behind you on day 47.
…been on a 2 hour walk outdoors with the family…crazy times indoors,as it’s sunny the kids went mental with water, washing up liquid on the trampoline.
… feeling calm…
grateful I’m sober…it’s gonna be a weird one to be honest with the shadow of addict very close by with no work to do…eldest is coming back from uni tomorrow so she’ll keep me occupied and be supportive with the younger ones so that’s a blessing really…got nothing to complain about…I always want time off work with the kids when I’m flat out so this is gonna be good times to be honest…tough as any parent knows with patience tested but I like letting them run riot so long as they’re not quarrelling and hurting each other!..

Yeah that totally makes sense, I handled it by going and lifting some more. I know for sure that it can happen anytime no matter if I say I won’t ever drink again, I know it can happen at any minute. Luckily I have all of you, so I know my first response is going to be to hop on here if I think I’m going to relapse, and I also have my mentor that I can call at any minute if I think something is up. So I’m very grateful, but the lifting helped me fill up the void. I really have to stay busy busy otherwise I’ll feel bored and like something is missing, but I didn’t feel like it was alcohol. That shit literally never made me happy, I’m glad I realize that now.
