Movin into day 12! There is some drama at work that really got to me and unfortunately I can’t avoid it because it surrounds my direct report. This person also used to be my peer and was a good friend until I got a promotion and she didn’t. Really going to try to not have it effect me! After a day like yesterday i would have opened wine… but that’s the old way of doing things!!! Happy to be sober this morning even though I have a headache

Day 4
Feeling pretty good today… had a good sleep so I’m well rested. Been doing well so far handling my using thoughts and coping with my emotions. My hubby recieved some money today and normally my 1st thought would be to ask him about picking up later but I’m not even going to mention it. Instead we are going to order in and then I’m going out to do some essential shopping at Walmart. During the day today, I’m going to keep busy with cleaning, an online meeting, and spending time on here. Hoping that filling my day with positive things (especially recovery related things) will help me not to cave. Wish me luck

I went through the same problem. I was chewing a tin every evening while I was binge drinking. It was always tough dropping that habit. I actually found chewing regular gum helped. Anytime i had a craving I would throw in the gum. I did try patches but they didnt make a huge difference and gave me crazy dreams. Like you said, if you cant quit drinking you can quit chewing.

Day 92. My employer cant make up their mind on my return to work and how many hours I will work. I got worked up over it last night and then hit a meeting instead. My best course of action is to focus on today and not worry about that. Turning things over to my hp allows me to stay present.
I hope everyone is doing well through the craziness and have an amazing day!

Hell yeah so far so good. I put one dip in so far, which is progress. Usually I’d be already half way through it.
I’ve not got a clue what you chew, is it tobacco like in the wild west and they spit in a bucket.

Thank you so much! I’m starting to realize that I need to put more effort into my recovery instead of just hoping and wishing for change. I HAVE to put in the work

Day 55. Finished reading Alcohol Lied to Me… I liked it a lot compared to a lot of other quit lit books I have read. Lots of new perspectives and I love how he talks a lot about the ego and mindfulness and hypnosis. I want to be hypnotized now but for other reasons…

Day 5. I did sleep last night but I am still really foggy-brained. I am sticking to two Recovery Dharma meetings a day, maybe forever. I embrace my new online community. Today’s meditation was on Equanimity. It is one of my favorites and for today - most helpful to me.
“I am responsible for my own actions.”
“I am responsible for the energy and attention I give my thoughts, feelings, and experiences.”
“May I find a true source of happiness.”
“May I find peace exactly where I am.”
And to others:
“Regardless of my wishes for you, your happiness is not in my hands.”
“All beings are responsible for the suffering or happiness created by their own actions.”
“May you find a true source of happiness.”
“May you find peace exactly where you are.”

Checking in at day 23.
Have been feeling super groggy in the mornings. I’ve been going into such deep sleep that I feel like I can’t get up. Feeling as though I could sleep forever.
Has anyone else experienced this, will it pass? I would really like to start being a morning person lol.
Maybe it’s just quarantine and not having a schedule…?
Have a great day everyone

It will pass. Your body is getting proper sleep and it takes some time to normalize.

Day 1. Again. Attended my first NA meeting on Zoom today. It’s finally starting to sink in that I can’t do this on my own.
