I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 150

I was planning on celebrating this day a little bit when I eventually got here. But now it doesn’t feel that big,because I’ve got so many other things to clear up.

Talked to the social service again today, they still don’t want to do a dang thing about it. The social service lady even said that we where rude calling that often. My husband said he’ll call the newspaper instead so they’ll start doing something at all to help out.

I doubt they will, but we’ll see.

We had more snow coming today, and almost a full hour with sunshine. It’s cold as heck, the weather forecast says it’s going to stay this way for about two weeks.

Another school meeting tomorrow, seminar on Friday again. Still haven’t made up my mind if I’m going to stay in school.

Hope y’all are doing well :cherry_blossom:

Noooo! This is worth celebrating! We still made cake. Pink cake, so hopefully you can swing around for a piece, and make some time to feel pretty proud of your 150 days. We’re proud of you. :relaxed: :orange_heart:

Halfway through Day 75. Still battling an ear infection. Can’t hear well at all. Not hearing my husband, though, can be a bit of a blessing ! :smile:

200 days without alcohol today. I’ve made it this far before - this is usually when things start to scare me. I relapsed before around 200/270 days. But! That’s the past! This time around I feel much stronger and am focusing on other things health wise, so it’s my head isn’t screaming at me too loud this time around.

Congratulations on your 225 days of being AF :boom::boom::boom: You’re kicking ass Michelle :leg:
Sorry to read you’re down and in a rut.
Another one of those pesky feelings. I hope it passes soon for ya. And another feel will come by soon. And you know why you’re doing this. Because we are all powerless over alcohol. And none of us wants to go back to that real living hell. Just for today buddy :kissing_closed_eyes:
:pray:t2::heart:

Hi Sophia. I was going to say that’s amazing, but I know you’re such a strong lady you can do anything. And you’re doing this! And you are AMAZING :boom::boom::boom: after reading all the incredible stuff you do for your family I’m not surprised a celebration would be exhausting. So we’ll celebrate for you. Because you are so worth it.

I hear ya buddy. I got the same problem. I can’t figure it out. Getting thru the Holidays I thought I’m going to get back to my workout. Never happened. But I kept power walking at least. Then let’s get through the inauguration. Still didn’t start working out again. Now I got 3 feet of snow. I can’t get out and walk. And No I don’t want to work out. WTF!! At least we’re sober. So we got that going for us. I’ve been here before and I’m a pro at starting over. We’ll get there. It’s getting warmer over here. 16 degrees now. It might reach 30 :cold_face:

Hell yeah man. Some days I can’t lie I’ll forget to wake up grateful, or go to bed grateful. Even in a.a I would do it sometimes, but I’ll usually catch myself. And trust me it’s exactly why I hope and have faith that I’ll never pick up again, bc I know for a fact I don’t want to go through all that pain again. I 100 % don’t want to lose these days and have to fight for them back.

170 days no alcohol.
138 days no cocaine.

Having another very low mood day. I know they happen and I also know they eventually pass, but damn I wish my MH was more stable. I’m struggling with incessant cravings for crisps, but I really am trying to wait until Saturday and stick to just Saturdays for now, if I can get used to that then I’ll be pleased, but if the obsession/compulsion doesn’t leave during the weekdays in-between then I’ll have to reconsider and quit them completely because I hate being so preoccupied.

Zoom support group tomorrow might help lift my mood a bit, then DBT restarts on Friday for the remaining 5 weeks.

Day 150

Need to echo @M-be-free49. No amount of snow, cold air, inadequate social workers, or crazy school decisions can stop the wheel from rollin. You are at 150 days and that deserves a celebration. I am doing a celebratory fist pump for you girl!
