yeah must be hard at the top, I feel really sorry for you and your success 
Iāve taken nearly every drug known to man and a few things that arenāt for man but it was worth trying it to see what happens, but I canāt imagine a life with no sugar. Your one strong person.

No such luck lol. I have the thumbnail pic of my handyman. Maybe next time Iāll get a beefy stud. 
@CapriciousCapricorn yeah, picking on my kid is the only thing that got me a teeny bit. Ava is painfully shy and has a very hard time speaking to adults, which batshit is aware of. So sheās just being a dick. Iām glad the way itās working out. I have to be very careful with what I say. I definitely donāt prefer she stays, but had to say that so she doesnāt go off the rails lol.

Still day 26. I got triggered today and it surprised me a lot. My partner drinks sometimes next to me and Iām quite used to it, it wasnāt so bad lately. But today I was asked to buy beer and at the shop, seeing those beers especially the one I used to drink was tough. I had no idea, how much the labelās colors and illustration affects me. I didnāt buy for myself, but it was scary, how unstable I still am in these situations.

Day 32: Woke up crying super hard from a dream this morning and I couldnāt shake the sad feeling for quite some time. I hope thatās the low part of my day! I have always had a very active dream world, and it has been heightened since I got sober. I frequently talk in my sleep and even made horrible demon like sounds one time that scared my husband shitless! Hilarious. Donāt like the waking up crying thing, but if it is a brain dump of emotions and pent up thoughts, then maybe itās a good thing. Otherwise, today is a good day! I got a new york strip steak, some massive shrimp, an ahi tuna steak and some portobello caps for the grill later. I like my homemade salsa verde with my steak, so Iām going to make some with pretty tomatillos I got from the farm co-op this week. Happy Friday, folks!

I can relate to the intense emotions when waking up ā¦ I think catching up on REM - sleep makes my brain hyperactive as Iām processing a lot of previously suppressed emotions. I try to run with it and feel all the feels. Yesterday I cried out of the blue to be happy and like a little child moment later. It seems to take time for the brain to heal and rewire itself after being addicted for so long. Even if it scares your husband sometimes 
enjoy your bbq, that sounds delicious!

Day 10. Feeling great today. My online classes went smoothly. Iām grateful for the little things and I donāt find myself sweating the small stuff.
Which makes me concern. I know my mood will stabilize; I am just concerned when this little pink cloud will end. Iāve never identified and examined my emotions as much as I have in the past 10 days. I suppose all I can say is that I am grateful for today and remind myself that there will be bad times and thatās okay.
