Day 113. A quiet day at home with Max, which is just what we needed. My arm hurts today, but not as badly as it did yesterday. My knee is also feeling better, and the swelling has gone down quite a bit. I’m looking forward to a better week coming up. I need to find a new car, which might become more tricky as it seems we might roll back into phase one pandemic protocols. Ah well, things may not be easy or fun at the moment, but they’re still 1000x better than they were when I was drinking. I’m so thankful to be sober and have a clear mind to negotiate all of this.
Thank all of you for letting me rant during my past few posts, and for checking in on me. Y’all are the best, and a huge part of my continuing success in sobriety.

congrats. This is big stuff. Knowing myself the hard work it takes to stay clean that long makes me commend your hard work with much praise. You’re doing phenomenally well. Its just one day at a time and before you know it two years pass

I feel you girl, I’m hoping to get my meds fixed soon, anxiety and depression from PTSD and not sleeping right is overwhelming at times. I get super stressed and I tend to isolate to avoid taking it out on others,
I get in my head about how I can easily just take on some of my cravings and solve my problem

Congratulations on your 2 weeks.
That’s great
I also am glad to hear you feel different this time and you’re here getting support. As most on here know my wife drinks every day. We had been drinking buddies all our lives together. When I first started TS I was even sneaking it from her for about 2 weeks. That’s what addicts do. Finally I came clean and we had a great talk. But she said she is still going to drink!! And she supports my sobriety. She’s a pretty harmless fall asleep on the couch around 8 type of drinker. So it’s predictable. And that’s nice. Recently she stopped drinking gin for some reason. So that’s nice too. But wine all afternoon and evening every day. Anyway… it’s my sobriety and I’m the only person’s sobriety I can be responsible for. And I’m so happy that I persevered. I use my gratitude tools often. I’m grateful I get to watch what I want on tv at night. I’m grateful there’s more room in the bed at night. (Got 4 cats 2 dogs) and I’m especially grateful for the time we do have during the day when she isn’t drinking. Sometimes the ugly resentment monster rears it’s ugly head and the old me would have had trouble battling that. But now as I’ve learned and read. “Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” Resentment has always been hard for me.
I’m feeling great!! And no more hangovers!!! I’m grateful for all i got when I’m sober. And I got so much more to be grateful for when I’m sober. And I know I’m worth it. And so are you.

Thank you for the warm welcome, folks. It means a lot to me. Monday morning here in Singapore, and I am in work. So much better for being clear headed and not having been awake since 4am with crushing anxiety. Two weekends down. This was impossible two weeks ago.
