Checking in on day 6.
I am relieved to say that the post drinking depression has mostly worn off, although yesterday the anxiety started… I hope that it will be short lived.
I was up all night with terrible stomach pains from a gastritis flare up, (another lovely after effect of drinking), but I am feeling much better now. Hoping that it doesn’t get worse again later today.
Anyway, day 6 here I am! So disgusted with drinking right now that I wouldn’t even consider it.

Low maybe but your still here, your still being honest, accountable, persevering, determined, brave and willing to change by showing strength and courage to do it all again. Yep there not bad character defects to have on day one, I think you can work with them.

Long story short, my intestines got twisted and nothing got past my stomach. It happened real fast and started in the morning with a little tummy pain but shitty after it got really bad really fast. Couse of the earlier trauma i hasetsted to call an ambulance right away and thaught that after a couple puges it would Seattle but it ended in a major emergency and they had to cut me open for the 6th time to fix it. Been in the hospital for like 2 weeks now and had 2 operations.
Imma gonna get to go away 2morrow but have to stay close so i cant go home and will be home nursed for at least a month. It wiĺl take 6 weeks before i can walk my sweet powerhouse dog again to give you an indication.
At first i refused all pain medicine but had to give in. No morfine , oxy or methadon but i did give a go on the regulars and some medical ketamine but that stopped a few days before now allready.
Still hurts like flying fucking monkeys though🤣
But he 
im still here and under circomstances doing quite all’right
Hope your good as wel.
Be safe

Day 3. Check in 2. I lost my shit on my 17 year old. I was already on my way out of the house at 17 years old. She’s a good kid but disrespect level during this pandemic is way too high. I want nothing more than to drown out that noise with beer, wine, vodka…whatever is in that store I am about to go in…which, of course is all of the things. It feels like DefCon 4. Going to leave money in the car, go do my f’ing job and go to the next f’ing store. I feel like driving my car into a wall or into that store…but I’d live…

yes driving into a wall is a good option or just kill yourself very slowly and miserably for years with alcohol. Teenagers hey!!! God help us all.
Very; very slowly. All the drinker/alkies in my family live into their 90s. Dying from alcohol is not what we do.
