185 days. I feel like Iâm in the groundhog Day movie on a constant loop. Granting someone the power to make what can be a life altering decision for me was hard and Iâm still struggling. If things go right, he should be making his decision today. Iâm so exhausted and really just want to go home. Itâs scary to think I might be just going there for my things and starting fresh yet again. I know I can do it I just donât want to. My heart and mind are overwhelmed right now and I am having problems focusing on anything but the outcome.

I have to come back to this comprehension of thoughts/cravings almost everyday. This is whatâs keeping me sober almost everyday since a couple of weeks, since Iâve got some tiredness and depressive feelings I donât arrive to understand or relieve. It keeps me in âsearching modeâ to find what I need and could to to make me feel better (or just to stay on course) without drinking. Since I know drinking will only push to another day that feeling, with this tactics I can pursue some long-lasting coping mechanisms to answers the feelings Iâve been avoiding with booze for so long.
Itâs not always easy to stay there and find what we need. But with practice it because easier to place ourself in âsearching modeâ instead of ârelapsing modeâ.
Relapsing is no more a part of my recovery plan.

I havenât wanted to check in. Iâve been in a shit mood all week. Normally I like to dissect the reasons why and try to fix it. I donât even care to do that. I donât know if the âwhyâ matters all that much. I canât even really explain whatâs going on with me exactly. I know some actions I can take that I havenât been taking, which may help me snap out of my mood. Iâll give that a try.

Sometimes we need to alternates between different type of questions. Sometimes itâs âwhyâ, sometimes itâs âwhat ifâ, and maybe now youâre in a phase, like I am also, more like: âYes, and?â Ok, I feel like this. What then? I call it the action phase. Yes I feel like shit this week, and now Iâm going to get a coffee and take a break. Yes I am tired, and now I will just do my thing. Yes I feel like shit and I will call my girl to talk about the supper. Yes, andâŚ
You have a good insight and reflexive conscience, but you donât have to be always dissecting everything (like we talked a bit in your post).
I feel you (yes), and now I hope youâll feel better - my coffee break is done.

Hey guys! Gonna check in day 147.
Ive made it through quite a few obstacles the past few months that in the past I would have relapsed over and that has made me feel strong but damn can life just STOP throwing me curveballs?? Or is the rest of my life just one big test??
Dating someone with an anxiety disorder is so hard. I am so tired of being strong ALL the time. When there is a scary situation I cannot turn to him because he will get anxious and place blame. I have nobody but myself in those moments. Sometimes I want to feel taken care of or reassured. I couldnt sleep last night because I was anxious due to something scary that happened yesterday. I ended up taking a benadryl which I never do. The old me would have numbed with drugs or booze. But the new me checks in here.
Love you guys hope you are all having a lovely sober day. Congrats on all the milestones! 
@Rockstar24777 I know how you are feeling. I wanted to delete my post yesterday. Sometimes its difficult for me to be vulnerable. But Brene Brown says you should only be vulnerable with people who have earned it. I like to think everyone here has earned my vulnerability⌠plus you never know who is going through the same thing and who needed to hear whatever you had to say! Keep your posts. They are one of the reasons I keep coming back!
