- Got some irritating news past few days from dr’s. Really shows me why i shouldn’t drink. An allergy test for my migraines shows my body really does hate some things including histamine, & mold, (which there is apparently a lot of in alcohol). So now medically i shouldn’t drink, but for some reason that now makes me feel like it’s off limits & more desirable.( I know I’ve always been that way
)
Have to wrap my head around it and not feel like I’m missing out again. I can almost guarantee getting a migraine when i drink & it sucks. A lot.
Have to figure out non-headache triggering foods now too. My headaches have been less intense without drinking, but they still suck. Have new learning to do. Sorry, weird ramble on a check in.

Day 212.
For all that didn’t get done today, my revised “all goals achieved” (for the day) will be met if I’m all tucked in within the hour! Sober, of course. 
Some mornings it still catches me off-guard, waking up without the shame. I actually hope that feeling sneaks up on me here and there for the rest of my sober life - so that I never get complacent, so that I am always made aware how good I have it. When I live life sober, that is.
We did another day. Damn proud of us, I am. Let’s do another one tomorrow.
G’night, big love to all.

Day 142: Reaaaal quick check in, got distracted today by a trip to urgent care (I’m ok, got antibiotics wooo) and it was my first time accessing health care since the pandemic started and I was so nervous anxious panicky to go. I haven’t hardly been anywhere! I was hella impressed by the facility, the staff, they were so quick and got me treatment and I had to give them huge thanks and gratitude. They had to check my blood pressure twice because it was so high when I got there, and they were so kind to this nervy gal. So, here’s a thanks to all the health care workers out there. Y’all amaze me. Goodnight, TS

Day 58…
I had a long phone interview/conversation this afternoon with a service that is for life coaches. The phone call went for over an hour. It gave me a lot of anxiety. I don’t have much interactions with humans these days. The only person I have regular daily conversations with is my coffee Barista 
so my brain was worked over time today and its made me anxious… In other news, there in a channel 10 nightly news truck parked outside my window. I think they are there coz the Australian open tennis stars are Locked up in quarantine in the hotel opposite my house so there is a lot going on there at the moment. I am grateful that I am clean because if I was using , there would be a good chance that I would be hallucinating that the news truck was there for me because I was about to get raided thank gosh for no more phycosis episodes!!

- The pic is from the last day I had a bottle of wine 601 days ago. I was already sober for a couple of weeks but I wanted to find out if I really felt like I missed out on something by not drinking. Stupid idea in hindsight but anyways it turned out I didn’t. I have stayed sober and clean since and life is much better like this even if I still find it hard. A bit like this quote from my favourite photographer whose exhibition I visited June 7, 2019. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.

Friend, I am so grateful for your presence here! You are humble, you share so much of yourself and your wisdom (don’t try to argue with me on the latter), and your subtle humor makes me smile. Happy 600. Here’s to your next day, and hope it’s a pleasant one.
