Snood? Had to look that one up. I’ve been bundling up a bit for my walks too. It always feels good though to get in a good walk. And it feels like a win when you can beat the elements.
Thanks for your words of support.
I am so sorry about your cats misery. Teeth right?? I hope you and your vet can come up with something. It’s always so hard when your pet is in pain and you feel so helpless. I’m praying God will find a way for you to figure this out. At least some pain meds or something. So sorry.
And great job on day 47. You’re doing it.
Thanks @Lisa07 it’s an honor to follow you on here and all you’ve overcome. You are always so encouraging your support is so valuable to all of us. I feel a cool bond with the 3 of us @CapriciousCapricorn and Lisa. Lisa you being way ahead of us and Stella and me just following behind you. You ladies kick ass. Thanks for all your help in my/our journey.

Cheers Geo. Yea im really worried about taking pills for mental conditions but I might have to do it. Anyways ill be going to the docs next week and ill see what they say. Im also going to sign up for more counselling.
I think most of these panic attacks is a mix of mental withdrawal and work stress.

Checking in in the end of day 5. Super busy day today. Talked to my sponsor. This is such a cool thing to know to have to call her every day. She ordered the big book for me and will send it over to me. How amazing is this! Now sitting down and reading on the 12 steps App meanwhile. Then making my gratitude list for today. Have a beautiful evening everyone

Haha yeah it’s basically a scarf with the ends stiched together, I don’t know why it needs it’s own name, I do find it more user friendly than the average scarf though, and less suffocating but still effective at blocking the elements. Definitely feels good to get the walks in, they really help me manage my mental state.
Thanks for your kind words re Prince, yes it’s his teeth still, I use Stomodine gel and Loxicom via syringe, which is a pain med, but he just doesn’t seem his usual self so I can’t help but think he’s in pain. We’ll get through it, I just don’t cope very well when it comes to animals and suffering. He’s eating, drinking, grooming etc, and not crying or anything, so he’s probably coping better than I’m imagining, but I do hope the phonecall goes well in the morning all the same, because the only solution is to remove the rest of his teeth, so until it’s over, I feel unsettled about the whole thing. We all know what dental pain is like

Day 3
It is amazing how much can happen in a day. I woke up, bursting with pride for getting through my third day, and impatient to see the numbers climb. Now, I am currently on my bathroom floor trying to convince myself every 10 minutes to just wait 10 more minutes before I decide if I want to go and get a drink. I think I have backed down from that ledge, though I thought I’d post here first before I left my bathroo to hold myself accountable.
Today has just been off. I started it off with some work, listened to a sobriety podcast, did a run, made a healthy breakfast, took my vitamins - all good. Was a little fuzzy and distracted, so did a meditation to re-centre. Then I decided to watch a bit of TV before I went back to my work, and I just could not peel myself out of bed until hours later when a neighbour popped by. We talked about the state of the world, and it just got me so low. After she left, the voices crept in: “What’s the point? Everything is shit. Why deprive yourself of what you like at a time like this?” It truly scares me how close I came to crumbling.
Anyway, if nothing else, it was an exercise in controlling the inevitable cravings. Hopefully next time it will be just that much easier to conquer because I’ve shown myself today that I can do it.
For now, I will get back to the work I have been putting off all day, which is now causing me much anxiety. Then have a nice, healthy meal with my husband when it’s all done.
Onwards to day 4…

Cool. Be honest with the doctor. I was apprehensive myself. Buy it’s a really really low dose.
Any way. Yes see what they say.
You’re aware so that’s good.

Sorry I’m late. Day 61 here! To celebrate my 2 months, I ordered a frother/hot chocolate maker. Guess what I’ll be cranking up after 14 hours at the polls next week!

Checking in at 90 days sober and 5.5 months without cigarettes. One hour at a time turned into day at a time and here I am pledging another day and looking towards 100 days. Congratulations to everyone checking in whether its day 1 or 365.
