How did it go?

Thanks to you guys’ support, I made it through yesterday. Day 15 now.

Still have a job (for now). Been reading other people’s posts and see many folks quoting the Serenity Prayer. Trying to "accept what I cannot change ". Patience is not one of my virtues.

Booze 102 Binging 2

Now it is April have both kids at home. Both like very different things, and different levels of study, so trying to do the best for both of them is pretty tough. Very glad to be doing it sober. I have been better around food recently, but as soon as I control eating a little, I get the urge ‘control more, control more’. Of course, weighing myself repeatedly, checking double chin and thighs in mirror constantly.

Day 126. Not a bad day. It’s good to be with kids and bf. I took a long walk. I did some work. I didn’t drink. But man, the world is a mess. Even more than usual. My partner and my youngest kid are both having trouble sleeping. It’s scary how much is wrong out there and how little each of us alone can do.

Wanted to check in this evening…
Day was okay. Did some cleaning, organizing, and anything else I could to distract my mind from using. Ended up just having a nap to put my mind to sleep lol. Hope that doesnt become a habit bcuz it’s rare I get a chance to nap (even during this isolation time). I will need to figure out ways to cope with my using thoughts without avoiding them by sleeping. Been having strange using dreams too. But I’m still clean and sober today. Thankful for that :heart:

That’s awesome, well done! I feel like that’s the best thing, when it sneaks up on you or you don’t even realize it, because it means your mind is not obsessed with the substance.

134 Days: Checking in and happy to be sober. Another stressful day at work, ever changing world, but doing my best to accept this as the new normal, at least for now. Been finding myself taking a lot of 15 minute breaks and just trying to relax my mind and recenter. Lately I’ve just been remembering peaceful places and times in my life, there aren’t a ton of them lol. But it seems to be working.

My favorite has been this time when I was up camping by myself and a huge thunderstorm rolled in at night. I sat in my tent with the doors tied open, watching the rain and the lightning, the sound of the thunder and the drops pelting the tent is calming for me. It was a quick summer storm and as it rolled past me I got the campfire going again, watched and listened to the storm as it faded away. The smell of the fresh rain mixed with the smoke of the fire is heavenly.

15 minutes of moments like that have been extremely helpful in getting me through these chaotic days.

Hoping everyone is doing their best to stay healthy and sober. Just taking things one day at a time.
