7 Months!! Wow, time flies. When does “early sobriety” end? I feel like I did at 2 months most days. Maybe it’s due to this isolation. My husband is still sick and I’m so tired of listening to the moaning and groaning. I get that he doesn’t feel well but I’m busting my ass to work, take care of him, my daughter and the house. I’m exhausted!! Anyway, thank you all for the awesome support. I couldn’t do it without the help of each and everyone of you.

Can you sleep? I had sciatica few years ago and was the same … we know drinking not the answer. I found wim hoff breathing on youtube eased the pain lots albeit done gently. Wishing you strength…

None of us can do it alone. I’m on day 4 after relapse on day 227. Realized my mistake was thinking I could do it alone. Find your tribe, find a mentor/sponsor and keep trying. Sending healing happy vibes your way friend!

You have A LOT going on!!
I’ve been married twice, and in my vast experience, when husbands are sick, they should be sent to the moon for a few weeks
Anyhoo, you are doing awesome. Congratulations on 7 months!!!

Day 529. Today is… better. I don’t feel like I have a handle on it yet, but more than I did yesterday. Meds increase could be helping, my efforts yesterday and today could be helping, and/or I could just simply be feeling a little better. I’ll take it, even though it’s not quite how I was hoping today would go. Hang in there, everyone!

I call it the ‘fuck-you reflex’. Whatever it is, if u feel u HAVE to, u refuse point-blank.
@Flamestar @Sirlucas Just keep stringing those one days together, and the benefits of sobriety will come to u!
@Conor689908 The isolation is beginning to wear on everyone I think. Sorry that online meetings aren’t hitting the spot. Hang in there!
Day 118
Have signed up to this. I am a bit rubbish at keeping up with online classes, but will try. Just in case anyone else is interested.
