It’s true that checking in here quite regularly (or basically every day) really is quite a help.
I don’t know about others, but in my case, I find that I would be more disappointed with myself than usual if I “had to” tell everyone that I had had to reset back to zero.
Not that what I do matters, but still, the fact of having to own up to resetting sort of helps me, in some perverse way, and keeps me from having a drink !

187 days no alcohol.
155 days no cocaine.
Having a major relapse with the eating disorder so not feeling very good about myself at all the past couple of days. Hoping to draw a line under it tonight and start tomorrow back on my diet. Think I might avoid the scales for a few weeks. I can tell by how bloated my stomach and face is that I have gained weight recently. Though sometimes it’s good to face facts and see the number on the scales so I know exactly what I’m dealing with. So maybe Monday first thing as per.
It’s the final on The Masked Singer tonight, so there’s a little something to cheer me up, followed by The Voice which I also enjoy.
I don’t think I’ll go out for a walk today, it’s getting dark and the wind has been seriously fierce! Tomorrow might be better with the diet restart.

Thank you to everyone for their kind words last night and today. It brought tears to my eyes, and so appreciated. I was too mentally exhausted to respond. However, as promised, boot straps are up and I’m working on a plan.
I did stumble across some phenomenal news (fingers crossed)… Apparently, dementia due to brain injuries is usually not progressive like Alzheimer’s. As much as I hate it and as embarrassing as it is, it’s comforting to know it shouldn’t get too much worse, and maybe better. Not sure, my poor noggin has been through so much.
I was reading online and found a doctor in Phoenix that treats people like me through grants and donations. I’ll probably reach out at some point. This was interesting:
“About 81 percent of our patients had so many hits to the head, they lost count, which, you compare that to athletes, is astronomical,” [she] said.
[she] said it’s not just the sheer number of injuries that makes these patients’ cases so complex.
“One single athletic concussion is hard enough to treat, but these patients are beyond that,” she said. “Unlike athletes, they do not have the luxury, if you will, of recovering after an injury before they are injured again.”
Through grants and private donations, [she] said, the care is free, whether or not people have insurance. <— that’s me! No insurance lol

@Tomek Triple digits is fanfrickentabulous. The changes and differences are there and I see them even if you don’t. Keep kicking ass at kicking ass.
@Rockstar24777 & @Piglet Congratulations on 8 months. I honestly don’t know where I would be without the two of you. It’s my pleasure to be a few steps behind you guys and I’m so thankful for your support.
242 days. Made a decision yesterday to have my application for a job stand even though it’s casual work and minimum wage. I really need to get something of my own that gets me out this house and my head. I’ve been trying my best to stay in the moment and maintain positive vibes. Although it’s not entirely easy it sure makes the days better. Still struggling with feelings of loneliness and lacking connections but am slowly unpacking this. Loving myself more and letting go of shit from my past. I’m so lucky to have a partner who understands I have a lot of self-work to do and am extremely lucky to have all of you here.

Day 376. Just another day. Jogged , lifting a little. Chilling with the girls. A girl I know a little and see at work I think is cute. So I messaged her she talked back a little. I’ll just keep playing safe. Never hurts to try and get to know someone and I’ll never get the courage to try this shit if I don’t try. Gotta face your fears if u want to grow

Day 159: It’s been a nice morning, very relaxed and I’m feeling pretty good. I’m grateful to read everyone’s check ins, and see people getting through struggles, having celebrations, learning about themselves, and all while working toward or maintaining sobriety and recovery. You should all feel proud to be here and making these efforts at a better you for a better tomorrow. I’m right here with you, too.
