Day 2
Had a slightly odd relapse, it wasn’t like I had unbearable cravings I couldn’t resist, there were some triggers, and some accidentally skipped meds, but it was more a talking myself into it almost, “alcohol is not illegal, stop making such a big deal”. Of course, I make a big deal because I can’t control it, passed out without making dinner, and the next day vomited so much I thought my uvula would fall out. I know in my bones that this is not going to be a slide into regular drinking. I just hope this one blip doesn’t mean a return to withdrawal. I am grateful my husband treated me kindly and sympathetically. My daughter, who was there when I was sneaking drinking, has gone back to not wanting me out of her sight, which makes me feel very guilty. But I look forward to those numbers clocking up again.

Day 87
During the quarentine I haven’t spent enough time focusing on my sobriety. Instead I’ve tried being everything for my family but nothing for myself. I reached out to my sponser to start working on step five. Even if we have to work on things over zoom its better than attempting to stay sober with willpower alone. Going to continue with zoom mettings. They always provide what I need.

I don’t usually do by a check in. I never know what to say but I see a lot of y’all on here. I feel like I’ve learned a lot from y’all. 
. So here I am checking in on day 134. Wifey still drinking wine in the afternoon. Then cocktails around 5. Then passing out, with wine again, after dinner on the couch. Im learning to appreciate the 8 or 9 hours a day I have with her before she reaches the point of drunkenness. I really think I’m handling it well as I still do not want to drink with her. No urges. While Rona is in our lives it seems best to stay sober. And I don’t want to get back on that merry go round of drinking. It’s better having a great nights sleep instead of passing out on the couch every night. I really think I’m good. Hopefully I’m not fooling my self.
Praying we all have a Good Friday and a sober weekend for all.

I seem to have reached the stage where pretty much anything I need to do causes me anxiety. Even stuff I like or that benefits me. So that’s fun!
Writing that out, I think I need to ask my doctor for a meds review…
I’m really glad you’re finding your balance though, that’s great. That place between effort and ease is a really lovely place to be

Day 5. The hits keep coming. I want to close the blinds, hunker down, talk to no one, white knuckle it or drink and drink and drink. I don’t want to sleep. I don’t want to be awake. I want all the stress to go away. I want the tension in my neck to stop. I would like to stop crying. I would like to feel like I am not going to shatter into a million tiny pieces. I would like to have someone to rely on other than me.
Started out so positive. Woke up at 8:02a, got online just in time for introductions. Had a nice meditation and meeting - even shared today. I was determined to shake off the funk of yesterday.
Got off of that and checked my bank balance. For the 3rd pay period in a row, since C19, I got far less than I am supposed to. So, ya know - I can make it two weeks with a single digit bank acct. Sure. And other things…and other things…and other things…

I’m so sorry. This is a horribly stressful time. I’m closing in on four days. This week was brutal. Withdrawals and having to work, albeit from home. Hang in there. You are not alone.

Checking in on day 8.
Headed out shortly to go camping in the bush for the weekend. I have had thought of drinking, (because that is my usual go to when camping), but I am determined to stay strong this weekend. A thought is just a thought, it doesn’t need to be acted on, and getting through this weekend sober will only make me stronger for next time. I have a cooler full of Bubly water and kombucha and I am ready to roll! Happy Friday everyone.
