345 Days: A little accountability never hurt anyone.

Iā€™ve experienced some amazing ups and some slap in the face lows since my last check-in, but Iā€™m staying sober through it all. Funny how the good times bring back the thoughts of drinking just as much as the bad.

Truth, coping with my life without alcohol is beginning to feel normal. Dealing with my feelings and lifeā€™s stresses being clear headed is becoming so much easier then the hassle and issues drinking causes and caused!

Still taking it one day at a time. Never forgetting where I was, but definitely enjoying my sober life!

Much love sober friends!

Day 10 clean, definitely feeling ā€˜normalā€™ ish again finally. Not anxious about picking up the phone to unknown numbers and answering the front door (altho did have a dreadful zombiepocalypse dream last night). Good to have a little confidence back. Big love to you all :slight_smile:

Day 4 w/o caffeine. Donā€™t feel any back pain at the moment but I donā€™t really trust the peace as it is only 9 am.
Heading to the gym now. Doing some weight lifting maybe and yoga class. Apparently, they will soon lock down all this. :roll_eyes:

Edit. Noooo, no more back pain or headache. Caffeine is doing this to me. Wtf. This is not funny. :pensive:

  1. My last shift before 2.5 weeks of vacay coming up. Yay. No total lockdown here yet so I might be able to get out and enjoy hiking and biking a bit. Going abroad is out of the question. Which is OK although I do miss my friend in Texas. In the park close to my work place thereā€™s this group of cypresses that have to make do as surrogate for the real Hill Country. I miss my friend and I miss the land but I donā€™t miss drinking and drugging. Very glad to have gotten rid of all that. Have a good day all. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.

Morning Peeps. So im nearly a month into sobriety and extremely pleased however something strange is occurring in fact its abit of a contradiction. I seem to be able to stay calmer in situation which would previously really stressed me out, or raise my temper ie road rage etc but now my anxiety levels have increased. For example a few days ago I was having minor panic attacks all day, finding it hard to breath, heavy chest and the a sensation which i would describe as claustrophobic or trapped feeling. I actually got very upset aswell at one point.

Im sleeping better but im still very tired during the day. my diet is good and I exercise. So this tiredness I can only attribute to either a medical issue or after effect of stress.

Anyone else experienced this?

Cheers

Good to see you Galen. Well done on the month.
I felt drained and tired for about 6 months. Unfortunately my sleep pattern wasnā€™t great, but I tried to catch up when I could.
Maybe if youā€™re concerned you could see your doctor. My GP recommended some mild antidepressants to help with the anxiety. I was adverse at first but have been on them for a while and itā€™s really helped.

Day 268. Iā€™ve never been good when the weather changed. Especially in my addiction, I usually drank more and would make my self more depressed. Well I can feel my mood changing through this weather, itā€™s different now that Iā€™m sober, itā€™s not as heavy but is a little depressing, I woke up with a pounding headache, so I didnā€™t make it to work today. Iā€™m ok with it, I have plenty of sick time. Hope you all have a good day

Wellā€¦ Yesterday was a nice weird mix of different emotions. Ended up firing that broker mid-morning. He blew up when I was explaining how I expect things to be handled. So I spent the bulk of the day cutting off access to things and reassigning clients. He called later and left a VM thanking me for everything and apologizedā€¦ Again. I will not call back. I explained yesterday that when you apologize but continue to repeat the behavior, the apology is moot. Itā€™s not the climate I need or want for my company. Iā€™m disappointed with myself for waiting so long, but I wanted to give him a real honest chance. He was unfortunately uncoachable.

Fun part, got my caddy. Holy effing shit Iā€™m in love. I drove it three miles, now itā€™s in the parking garage until who knows when :joy: I canā€™t wait to have to go somewhere.

Batshit asked about my intentions for the office space. I had not received my copy of the executed lease yet, so I requested that and received it back a few minutes later. My ass wasnā€™t saying a word until I knew for sure the lease was executed. I then I had the pleasure of telling her that I signed a lease and she could stay for another month if she wanted. Itā€™s why she was asking. She was wanting to extend a month to allow time to move out. She of course declined the offer and my batshit timer remains unchanged. 33 days until she moves out.

Have a wonderful sober day my beautiful friends that save my life every day :revolving_hearts:
