Fell asleep with such cramps and pain that I rolled into this restless sleep with dreams and nightmares. Stories that realy hit the core of it all and made me wake up aggitated and spaced out… hahaha. still do no know what to make of it. But less pain so I will take this moment. crazy weather outside. blue sky with some dark black clouds and cold wind. Yesterday in the morning I was completely convinced it were to be a good sober day and it turned out hard… So I learned again, no expectations and be on guard. Have a good easter day all of you. (oh. must be dutch thing to have 2 right?)

The longer you’re sober the more rare they become. I think I had the most in my first 3 months. Haven’t had them now for a long time. But I remember I had one after years sober, so they still can pop up after a long strech of time :hugs:

Day 574 :hatching_chick:
A bit anxious today, do not know why. It’s like the feeling I have an exam today but haven’t studied for it :flushed:
I’m going to find something to distract myself, do not like how I feel right now. And hopely I find out were this feeling is coming from.

574 is incredible! I know that feeling well, and I’m also definitely not a fan! I agree with the photo. Meditative breathing and presence exercises are great for letting anxiety evaporate away. I’ll be doing some tonight myself!

It’s a big square and I used a big lens Donna. The view is rather distorted. People keep their distance well. Authorities aren’t dissatisfied. @SoberWalker I’ll only get tested once I have a fever. As for now I don’t.

368 today. Still surreal I’ve made it past the year mark. It’s crazy to think all the stuff that’s happened over the past 368 days. I just wish I could get myself up and outside more often now under the circumstances. Life in isolation is very sure a strong test to beat. I know with my particular addiction, this lock down has doubled down how difficult it’s been. Hanging in because of this forum though!
