Day 135: Really feeling the sad sink in. I think it’s a combination of missing my pup, the winter blues, quarantine/pandemic fatigue and grief, the anticipation leading up to a political transition, on and on and on. And I just feel exhausted. And sad! Sleeping too much…not eating…some of the signs of depression are there and it’s not new to me. I think the reality is that I have not been putting the work in as much on recovery and being accountable in my self-care. So, I’m getting back to it today. A good place to start is gratitude, and I am so super grateful for all the supports I have in my life. I just wish I could hug them all right now! 
Ack, stop!!! I think my pup Miss Lupe is tired of all the hugs she is getting, haha! Anyway, sending love out to TS fam today.

Hey girl! Oofta and I am not surprised to see your message. Its ok to take this time to just be whatever you need to be. When you are ready you will swing back. You are too much of a giver to stay in place to long. Proud of you for honoring your mind and body. Big Love and Hugs to you.

checking in sober, feeling blah. everything today felt half-done (nonsense, but feels so). I suspect that spring is right around the corner here, because the cats are crazy, I’m horrendous lazy AND have ants in my pants, everybody is some kind of jittery. 4 hours and 1 meeting to go until bedtime. stay sober & serene TS family

Sweet of you, thanks.
I missed a few days so a collective congrats to everyone with milestones and all of us with another day sober 
163 days no alcohol.
131 days no cocaine.
I seem to have slipped into a bit of a depressed state again. Really struggling with the binge-eating disorder, I haven’t binged today but I feel so miserable without crisps. Lost for something to do to pass the time, I can’t watch TV without eating, and I can’t do my long walks anymore, and that’s what helped me get sober and start feeling better about myself. I’m doing lots of reading but I’m still struggling with stingy and watery eyes so I can only do it in small chunks. Finding myself obsessively checking the housing and rental websites too.
I feel like I need to go and buy crisps and eat them, but I so desperately want and need to lose another 5st yet so I’m trying so hard not to. But it sucks. I know it will sound pathetic to most of you but that’s what’s going on for me today.

Mike, I am a little late to respond, but I’ve been feeling pretty off and not connecting here as much lately. And reading your post really helped me, so I wanted to say thank you. We’re all just doing the best we know how, and knowing that we don’t have to do it alone is such a gift. You matter, I matter, but what makes me realize that most is that we all matter here.

Thanks for posting that, I needed a reminder like that today (that not every day of sobriety is going to be great) for some reason.
@RosaCanDo I’m with you on the winter blues, although obviously I haven’t had to deal with the same amount of grief as you with the loss of your pup. I just remind myself it’s almost February and then the warmer days are just around the corner. Stay strong!
Today is day 220 for me. The wife and I are taking a few days off together at one of our favorite (remote & pandemic-safe) vacation spots. We haven’t been here since before the pandemic started, which means we haven’t been here since I stopped drinking. This was our favorite place to get totally hammered. Like, real drunk for days on end and just forget about everything.
It’s weird being here and being sober. I’ve been anxious about it, although I know I’m not going to drink. I guess I’ve been anxious about being bored or not having a good time.
I’ll stay sober one day at a time like we do. Thanks for listening TS family. As usual, I wouldn’t be able to do it without you guys

While a few will disagree, this is a good place to vent when needed. We are all in the same boat, and sometimes, everyone of us needs a reminder!
AND the day got better, an old man just cut infront of me to use the bathroom…I might just pee my pants…
But I am sober!

DMV update… Holy cow they lowered my fine from $750 to $51… at first she said it was going to be $500 but then her supervisor came over and got on the computer and lowered it to $51. 
Honestly guys, I can’t believe these good things that keep happening to me. Brings me to tears. These good things never happened when I was an addict. I swear. I give my sobriety full credit. LOL. I must be attracting the nicest people into my life or something…

That’s great to hear and of course you attract nice people it’s because you’re a super nice person yourself. One tends to attract what they radiate or so I hear. 
Blessings and sobriety!
