Day 15 - after 4 mornings, finally woke without a headache!
In my sober time - i might have an online shopping problem though. To many boxes i have to return. In all honesty though i order several things, then only keep 1 or 2. It just looks bad to my husband. All those black friday/cyber week sales are showing up 
and i need some real shoes / attire for my pending career transition. 
And i have to spend time returning things at the store after work 
And it’s keeping me from drinking with my neighbor after work 🤷
They all wanted to go out last night to a local restaurant where we always get these very potent blue beverages with dinner -didn’t want to risk that. So chicken, veggies & peppermint tea last night, but my husband thinks I’m a party- pooper.

Checking in sober, Day 337. Missed check-in yesterday which was my 48 Week milestone - in 4 weeks it’ll be a full year.
I missed yesterday because my brother is in the hospital for testing and observation. He is learning disabled and on the autistic spectrum, and for the past week+ he hasn’t been fully lucid and has been uncoordinated. He has many symptoms like alzheimer’s - no short term memory, repeating himself, losing his thought mid-sentence. And he is very uncoordinated - it took him 15 minutes to figure out how to put on socks. They’re thinking it is some chemical imbalance in the brain, possibly related to meds for diabetes or seizure. In any case, lots of stress right now. But I’m still sober and dealing with this without drinking!

Checking in day 86.
Note to futur self:
Just drop the ego you think you’re protecting. Change, adapt and growth. You’ll build a stronger one. One day at a time, one action at a time.
Hope everyone have a good day!

Checking in on my second day #12 on track to meet up with my previous 90. @anon79808082’s tough love on another post made me think - as Donna always does. Sometimes we can’t prevaricate, whine or wring our hands over “cravings.” Sometimes we just have to kick ourselves in the butts and move forward with resolve. It’s as simple as that.
Actually, not dealing with cravings, just adjusting to a “new normal.” As a result, I’ve noticed, my house is extremely decorated and there’s a lot of Xmas cookies on the schedule. It’s fun! Have a happy, sober day or, as we say in church, go in peace to love and serve…Thank you all for your wisdom and patience.

Thank you so much for reaching out to me. It’s uplifting just to hear from you and to know that I’m not alone as I struggle through this bit of time. Also, your English is much better than I’ve ever been able to struggle along in any foreign language I’ve studied, so you shouldn’t apologize! I hope you have a great Wednesday!
