Hey, would of been day 60,but it’s day 5,it doesn’t feel like the day 5 from Feb 10th,had a great day,with my kids,did the global meditation at 3.45pm with next door blasting their hedge trimmer at EXACTLY the time it started,and finished strimming at EXACTLY 20mins later when it finished.!!(streamed the guided global meditation on loudspeaker into the garden)…I just smiled and thought ‘typical’….!..
I have energy,I have run today,I picked wild garlic,the most annoying thing is the ringing in my ears I have had for 4 days,very low tone and changes tone a bit up and down… have to go to sleep with guided meditation on as it’s quite loud at night obvs.:no_mouth::worried:,

This quarantine is different for me (lonely), 10days sober, girlfriend still upset with me from months of abuse from using, I guess time may heal this , she hasn’t been home for 2 days, she already cheated on me b4 so I’m assuming she with him. But I have no control over what she does , I only have control of my sobriety with hopes I don’t put myself in this destructive lifestyle again. !Any advice will help!

Whoops, I didn’t puck up on the Lyme. My Therapist
deals with Lyme disease, but I don’t know if it’s after diagnosis.
I know that she can teleconference, snd has done with folks from lots of States. … but she’s not cheap :pensive:

Here’s a teeny bit of her profile :point_down:

I personally went undiagnosed with Lyme disease for years. I have a unique understanding of autoimmune and Lyme disease, its struggles, and its impact on emotional health. I am a member of the International Association of Lyme Literate Psychotherapists.

Thank you Cate. I’m waiting for his blood results to come back. It may not be the lyme disease causing all this since he’s finished the meds recently but then again maybe it’s getting worse. We’ll see.

I think people on here don’t give up on people in general, and u in particular. Certainly I am invested in ur journey and wish u only the best. I am very happy to hear u are moving forward in ur relationship with ur ex. That takes real strength and effort. Good luck with moderation. I really hope u r one of the few who can do it, and come and tell us. And if not, then come back and tell us. It seems a warm welcome is a guaranteed constant here, and u would definitely get one from me.

After a year off of trying sobriety, which real last attempt was 198 days, I just finished day 5. Hardly gotten. Dr. Pepper was needed, so were pizza and pastas.
Tough one. Didn’t remember how hard this was. But I do remember the benefits. And I surely remember the dark side of the bottle.

I loved your post and thank you for writing it! But I too was like, who is THIS!? :sweat_smile:

I understand the need to just rant about it @mleclaire, my pessimism surrounding this goes up and down depending on the day…just like my moods so I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised

Day 517. In getting myself moving again, I’m now shifting from depressed to stressed. I just want to stop everything, so much of the time, but have to keep going, and it’s tiring, and makes me feel anxious. I did have a good stretch today, though, and I got lots done for once during those couple of hours. Let’s see what tomorrow brings!
