Day 31 today is the day my partner moves his stuff out of my home … even though were not been together for a couple of months it’s really painful. I have so much to look forward to in my life I know I’ll be ok… I just feel like today is so final… I can’t have anymore contact after today i have to focus on myself… find myself… being with Steven was so toxic he was definitely like a drug for me … sorry for this sad post … I just not sure where to put my feelings today x

Social media is no good for most. It’s basically people trying to show off how perfect their life is desperate for attention. As someone who does not have a perfect life, like 99% of people, it can be really depressing to see so many people with “perfect” lives. and if someone really wants you to know something, they will tell you via whatsapp or in real life, so you probably wont miss out on anything

We’re here for you. Maybe you could join the aussie meeting 1 hour from now to try and get some distraction?

Day 568.

Weird drinking dream last night. In the dream I planned to get drunk at a party, but when I got there I couldn’t do it. I had a really clear inner dialogue and talked myself out of it. Not had one like that before, a drinking dream where I don’t drink. I find it encouraging that my subconcious has my back.

Have a great day all :+1:

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 14.
Stomach cramps from yesterday have vanished. It feels so strange to be able to eat, and not get cramps, or have to rush to the bathroom after. And my skin is definitely clearer.
Talked to my doc yesterday when I was able to get out of bed. I love the technology advantages this pandemic have brought us,even if I don’t like the pandemic. Even the doc are easy acess online or via phone nowdays.
Apparently if you’ve got celiac disease like I do, and you don’t care for it, which I haven’t for years. Eventually you’ll do so much harm to your body and bowels that you’ll eventually end up being unable to eat diary products as well, because the body can’t handle processing it. And there’s where I am now. Add an allergy to nuts, peanuts and soy that I was born with and you’ll find yourself right here.

But at least I’m happy I stopped drinking and started to care for myself before it got worse.

Rainy day today, and the normal Sunday anxiety that a new week and everyday life starts tomorrow is here. My husband will leave for work in an hour and I’ll be alone with the boys again. I’ve read more about creating the life you want and how to evaluate where you are and mapping out eventual steps you want to take to get there. So I’m planning to start with some of them today and also do some planning for the week to get rid of some of the everyday life anxiety and boredom that made me drink before.

Some more Gypsy Galore family drama is rising in the horizon but I’m waiting it out a little bit more before I’ll write a new episode because I want to see where it’s heading.

Wishing y’all a great Sunday :cherry_blossom::heart:

Day 16 today. :pray: :raised_hands: It stormed so hard the power went out last night. Not for very long at all. I felt cleansed watching the rain and the lightening and hearing the loud thunder. Also I slept till almost 6 today. Thank the Lord. It truly is small progress. I’m going to a meeting tomorrow evening. A lil, okay extra nervous. But I know it’s the right step on my journey. I hope you all have an Amazing Sober Sunday. Also thank you all tremendously for all the love and prayers and support on my rough day yesterday!

Checking in. Working on day 16. Haven’t had a sobriety streak this long since I was pregnant. Maybe that’s why I was grumpy yesterday evening. Now, so much better. Thsnks @Dazercat. Eager to see what another week off the hooch will do for my brain and sparkling personality. Shine on, beloveds!

Sending you a hug

Its raw and a real emotional drain but keep your spirits up and be proud your getting rid of something that obs was a toxic relationship and your doing it clean.
What an achievement to do sober… Be proud as your heading to better things .

Had to reset. Some stressful stuff happening in life at the moment. I used to think alcohol helped take the edge off but I’m pretty sure its exacerbating the situation. Say a prayer for me (if you’re into that)! I’m going to try to start checking in everyday

Good morning everyone…🙋
I’m at work and feeling better than yesterday. I’ve had no energy at all; I’m going through a bunch of tests for a few things so hopefully I’ll level out at some point.
I thought this was funny, when I opened up at work this morning, my first customer alerted me, :sweat_smile:
