It’s good to acknowledge your feeling Meh and be ok with it. The sober friends things is a great idea and your old “true” friends will catch up with you outside of a drinking environment. Early on it’s more about staying away from temptation and as time goes on things will feel more comfortable

Oh how I feel this in my bones for you. Sending so much love your way. I know it’s really hard with the kids, but can you schedule 2-3 days for a mini vacation away by yourself? I used to do this on a somewhat regular basis. Although it was more like peace people, I’m outty for a few days 
Stay strong, I know it’s in you xx

@Becsta It’s hard when u feel u can’t catch a breath. All that sounds like a hell of a lot! Hope things slow down a bit for u.
@Natnat U have come so far! A relapse doesn’t take that away!
@Jennajen Feeling out a new life can be challenging! You will find a balance that is good for you.
@jjcarson92 People can be dicks, let it slide, not worth ur time. Don’t want u to get urself in trouble either.

@jjcarson92 thought it was some cool US slang or something, I did wonder about the “putting up their tails” part

Day 3 sober. I have no words to explain how I feel. Numb is the most recurring adjective that comes to my mind

Day 2. Feeling a lot better today. Spent a lot of time in the gym and sweated out most of the bad stuff.

Start of day 3. I slept so horribly last night. I don’t think from withdrawals just from some stuff that’s on my mind. Last night would have been so easy to get drunk because I’m so frustrated and stressed out, but I managed not to. Same for today. It won’t make my situation any easier!

Awesome job not picking up, sometimes when things are really shitty it’s hard to remember that drinking again will just make it worse.
Stay strong

Checking in day 695. Clinic today until 2 and then have the rest of the day off. The fall trimester starts next week and I’m feeling a little stressed. This is my final year for the master portion (3 trimesters left, then just a trimester or two finishing up my doctorate but it will only be weekend classes) and I feel like I’m getting anxious to be done with school and start practicing - also, I’m tired of doing assignments, turning in homework, studying for exams - this will be my 4th degree, 2nd masters, + finishing up my doctorate and I’m definitely ready to be out of school lol. I can’t belive that by this time next year, I’ll be practicing! It’s crazy to think. And I’m very excited. Just trying to take the stress and turn it into excitement about being so close to my goal.
Hope everyone is well!

Day 31 checking in sober. I’ve got an issue tho. I’ve got an upcoming celiac disease test requiring me to consume gluten. I discovered on my own gluten makes me sick.
Well…you know what has a ton of gluten? Craft beer!! 
But I can’t and won’t do that to myself, but it is sad that the thought even crossed my mind.
Anyhow…here is to another sober day!
