213 Days. My husband recovered from covid and now has mono and diabetes. He’s been in bed for over a month now. The diabetes came from all the alcohol he was drinking. Thank god he gave it up 54 days ago. After discussing his blood results with the doctor, he was so scared and made a promise to never drink again. We’re finally on the same page. He’s miserable and I’m still trying to do it all. I have no right to complain. I signed up for this on the day we said our marriage vows. I’m going to rely on my HP to get us through this.

Geez Lisa, that has got to be so worrying for you. It must help having a diagnosis (or three), but that’s a lot.
I’ll pray to my HP for your whole family. Take care lil sis

Hello everyone
its been awhile… day 27/28 check in.
Dont really care to be honest. Anxeity is sky high atm. Though sober and having a good time with my bf. Since a little disagreement a few yesterday i have been affraid to loose him. Hadnt felt that way since 1,5 weeks into my sobriety. But now it has returned. I dont know if its normal that you feel a bit shaky awhile after a disagreement. We have never really had any in our relationsship appr. 3 years now, only when i have been Drunk or drinking. But i guess my anxeity is high since earlier experience had been disagremment/discussion/ fighting has always been = splitting up. He has told me a bunch of times that he loves me during the day and said sweet things but my mind keeps saying “yes he will leave you”. I dont know if i should tell him tomorrow because i have a feeling that he would say “but you are always affraid that i leave you”. Which is not really the truth since i have felt quiet safe in this relationsship. But maybe i should tell him that since our disagremment i felt quiet unease. Im not sure. I could really use some words to make me less affraid. Maybe you guys can give me that.

That means a lot, and I’ll try 
Day 76 I almost fucked up tonight, I still want to get it. Idk I just got hit with this urge to get coke, I haven’t really craved any alcohol, but I have been coke alot lately. I play the tape, I know Its gonna make me depressed, I know my mind is healing and if I do any it’s gonna ruin all of the healing I’ve done. But I keep playing the txt to my dealer in my head, and then I keep talking myself out of it. I ate a bunch of food, but I keep going back and forth between my unconscious and concious , my unconscious keeps going and going. I can’t get it to stop. I know if spend this 100 it will be a waste. I think I’ll be ok, my mind frifken hurts like crazy right now I’m starting to feel exhausted from all the back and forth.

@SassyRocks Thank you so much. You know that you are an inspiration to me, especially as we were similar-ish ages when we started our sobriety attempts, and journeys.
Edit: what a teeny gif
Edit 2: tried again
