@anon27760155 congratulations on 160 days. Keep kicking ass girl.
@Jonachav123 Your one year is fanfrickentabulous
@Fury I totally feel what youā€™re saying. Starting fresh and sober is huge. When we obtain the things weā€™ve lost and/or walked away from I hope we will have that much more appreciation for them.
@zzz It is sooooo great to see your one month. I see such a difference in you and itā€™s inspiring.
@Olivia & @Salty Congratulations on triple digits.
@anon60334405 I look forward to hearing about the tattoo developments.

207 days. Did some reading on codependency and still donā€™t see myself with exception to a few common characteristics. Going to continue to be mindful of staying in the present and staying out of my head. The moment I allow myself to get stuck in my head is the moment I start to spiral. I have decided to limit the time I spend alone in my bedroom and force myself to become more active in keeping busy. I read something on one of the other threads & it really struck me. Basically noted we are either working on our recovery or working on a relapse. Itā€™s time my focus is on me being happy with me. Not going to be an easy task but any progress will be worth it.

day 40ā€¦ 40 at 40 :joy:ā€¦ So last night I woke up standing at my window screaming in terrorā€¦ I had ripped my curtains down and I had opened my window - in my sleep , in the middle of a nightmare/night terrorā€¦ This is nothing new to me. I have had night terrors for a very long time. Two decades at least. But it only ever happened if I was stressed or when Iā€™d been awake for more than 3 daysā€¦ So Iā€™m at a loss as to why it happened last night because I am at my best health wiseā€¦ I need new curtains now :joy:

@Tomek Wow, there is such a wonderful expression on the face!

@anon28001181 Nice number!

@Salty Congratulations on the days, sorry to hear about ur fil.

@Moonshadow You donā€™t need to go. Here is a place to be no matter how well or poorly sobriety is going. I understand how sensitive u can be especially in early sobriety, and such ā€œtough loveā€ can feel discouraging. It is not meant to bešŸ’•.

Day 124: Emotions all over the place today. Working through it, actually, my husband and I are both working through it and it ainā€™t always easy. Grief has spun us around. Mr. Chucho is more and more disoriented, has started standing, staring in corners and otherwise showing signs of confusion. We put Christmas away today and the energy was bristly for a few hours until I forced a conversation neither of us wanted but both of us needed. Then the switch flipped and the mood has lightened. I am SO grateful that my husband decided to do dry January, because it just makes things easier right now to have alcohol out of the house and out of the equation completely. Not saying I have cravings, I just donā€™t have to have it in my face. Now that I think about it, my husband could be experiencing some withdrawal type feelings and I hadnā€™t considered that before.

Now we are prepping dinner and my husband is grilling steaks in the frigid cold so we can feed some to Chucho (if heā€™ll take it - the only thing he doesnā€™t refuse right now is deli meat, so fingers crossed). If you want to send hugs and positive vibes my way, I will gladly accept them. Sad sad sad.

Sending love out to everyone. :heartpulse:

Edit: He ate plenty of steak! Hooray!
