151 days no alcohol.
119 days no cocaine.
Had my shot first thing this morning, so should start feeling a little more energy.
Then we had our first DBT session since the week before Xmas. It was the last session of the Emotional Regulation module. Next week we have our 1:1s so no group session, the following week is Mindfulness, so in 3 weeks time we finally start the Relationship Skills module, which is the area I struggle in and have been looking forward to most.
Still no news re job or housing, or on my sale. Hopefully next week Iāll get some form of responses, and if not, nevermind.
Iām really at peace with things at the moment, it feels really good so Iām truly grateful for that. If only Iād have known sooner that I could cope without substances, still Iām grateful for the journey that lead to the learning of this fact.

Checking in, day 64. Iām quite ok, I guess it is caused by the combination of deliberate choices of things I know that help and the natural benefits of sober life. This second one is usually not enough for me yet on its own to feel well, on the other hand itās nice to know that I can have influence on my mood with changing approach and by certain activities. I also know that a depressive phase will come sooner or later, but hopefully they will be more and more shallow.
Now Iām drinking tea, listening to spouseās electric guitar lesson, planning my sober evening. A few months ago I would been panicking knowing that there is no booze in the fridge and would went even to the furthest shop to get some. Itās unbelievable how comforting the idea is to drink tea and go to bed sober.
I made another figurine, it is one of the most meditative activity I do recently, I can completely switch off while working on it.

Wellā¦ had a video-chat appt with my doctor, and managed to verbalize my quitting booze 8 weeks ago. First time I said it out loud, actually. She congratulated me without judgment, which was nice, and then scheduled me for liver testsā¦ The truth shall be told soon enough! Wish me luck for THOSE results! Reality bites

Dont know how long you were on the sauce, but the one positive I got from test results. My liver is functioning normally.
Afterall, I punished it for years,

Day 340. So since this is the place where I can be honest, yesterday I slept all day at work. I mean I got some stuff done, but I literally couldnāt keep my eyes open, idk if it was because of the big dose of melotinin. Today I still feel pretty tired as well, itās so hard to move or do anything when u feel so tired. My girls didnāt want to go with theyāre mother today so they will be home ready to punch me in the nads and all that good stuff Iām sure. Have a good day

Just checking in
Today was boring so far but I didnāt pick up
Iād rather be bored then getting into trouble, or even all messed up on a substance. One second at a time and itās a huge victory to be sober 1 second at a time I believe.
I feel much better then I did yesterday.

Why dont you give them a call and follow up?
48 days sober. Just me and the kids until my wife gets home on Monday night. I will stay clean, especially since thereās no alcohol in the house and I wonāt take my kids to a liquor store. I hate the random triggers though. It can be the simplest thing, like seeing some old video pop up on Instagram or even a song that comes on at the gym. I wish my brain could return to the way it was before I ever started drinking. Ugh. Glad Iām having victory but the struggle is real.

That sucksā¦ Fortunately here we can go outside to the street, the school is open for first graders, so itās not that tough, although the shops, restaurants, gyms are still closed. I feel better currently.
