Day 342. I’m feeling pretty good, I can feel this medicine is starting to finally work. I’m not as tired, I’m not irritable I’m calm with my girls, I’m not getting mad at little things. And I’m pumped my uncle Corey said I got you, I gave him some ideas of what I wanted and I’m sure he is gonna come up with something kick ass.
this is a painting he did

Today dear people, I have struggled… I woke up thinking I’d had oxi, the dream was so intense.
I woke up sobbing, sobbing because I’d took the drug but I hadn’t, my addictive brain had been playing games on me.
So I’m sober but can feel that dull sensation of depression getting hold of me…
My appetite has gone again, the fact I sat on the couch for two hours doing nothing but crying. These are the days I avoid talking to anyone but right now I need a connection to carry on.
Being on you own all the time is so quiet and cruel to a person.
I can’t remember the last time I was hugged or even touched lovingly.
I know I won’t give in but just today I admit I’m struggling with even wanting to be here.

Day 125: Last night was horrible. But we all made it through. The time has come to say goodbye to my buddy Chucho and my heart is breaking but it will be such a relief to end his profound suffering. We will be calling the vet first thing in the morning tomorrow. I find myself dealing with some swirling thoughts of drinking and the thoughts feel intrusive and obsessive. I just keep telling myself I choose sobriety. Nothing will be made better by drinking. It is a simple choice. I was looking back at my old topics and found my post from 4 months ago at the start of this sober stretch. It was good to read and remember, and I decided to start putting more thoughts down there. I might keep that up, but I still will be checking in here everyday. It’s an essential part of my recovery and helps me stay on track. I am so so so filled with gratitude for my TS community. Those of you who have been so generous with your love and support…I wouldn’t be here and handling things as well as I am without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Chucho has felt your love through me, too.

Sending you a massive hug, you bright, beautiful, strong woman. There is so much strength in vulnerability, and you continue to teach me how to find it within myself in every post. Hang in there, your friends are here.

Really happy to see you here Danni. Wish I could give you a hug in person even though I’m nott a natural hugger at all in fact I might be the worst hugger in history, always scared of physical contact unless it is in some contact sport… I hereby promise to be a better one once this whole mess is over and hugging is once again possible and allowed. In fact it should be obligatory. Love you girl.
