Sober weekend. That is good! Didn’t sleep well so skipped the 5 a.m. workout. I will make up for it. No need to beat myself up. Knowing when to take care of myself is important!
Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Day 248 clean and sober today I think. Spent Valentines Day stuck way to deep in my head and as a result was extremely sad and depressed all day. Finally shed some tears when I was drifting off to sleep, today’s a new day. I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, love you guys!!!

Day 161: Woke up with sinus pressure and clogged ears, not great, but I’m going to walk on the treadmill and see if that helps clear things up. Endorphins can work wonders. Wish you a positive Monday.

Holy moly guacamole. I’m back after a long hiatus. Day 15. Made it this long in December then relapsed during the holiday.
I’m woke up at 5 a.m. and have been enjoying coffee and toast with my fur baby cuddled up to me. I’m actually feeling rested for once. Work in the next hour not so daunting.
What changed?
I miss the way I felt when I quit drinking for a year. Back then I wasn’t even on the right meds and I could do it. Now that I’ve stabilized my bipolar I’m even more determined.
Have a great day, friends!

Well… I was in a funk all weekend. Not because of my diagnosis, I’m over that 
Seriously though, nothing has changed except some words on paper. Deep down I already knew.
I think the feels are starting to happen in regards to my past list of traumas. I don’t have any emotional connection to any of it. Except for one that just makes me angry and terrified of cops. That one plays over snd over in my head on a daily basis. Long story short, my husband came back from the military with ptsd and very violent. There was a really bad night and I had finally had enough. I called the police in hysterics. I was locked in my bedroom and he literally broke through the door while I was on the phone with them, they heard it. About 8 cops showed up. No one took my statement or even spoke to me. I heard them all outside laughing and chatting with my husband. So I go to the door and asked if anyone was going to talk to me. They sternly said “ma’am, step inside”. A few minutes later they arrested ME for assault. I was injured badly, in jail on my 10 year wedding anniversary, they refused me medical treatment, and when my mom tried calling they told her I was refusing calls which was a lie. My body was bruised, blood on my head, I was limping, my neck was swollen, and my shirt was ripped in half.
I hate the police for this. So, when people ask why I didn’t call the cops on husband number 2, that’s why!!!
Furthermore, the man I loved and that was supposed to protect me, let the cops take me knowing what he did to me. I got out of jail and straight to the lawyer. This was in 2012 and I’m still shaking. I need to work on this because it’s consuming me.
However, grateful to be sober. Otherwise I would just be blacking out and leaving bad reviews at the sheriff’s office 
I still want to sue. Not sure if there is a statute of limitations there. But I will be heard by them one day.

Checking in as day 43 comes to an end.
First day back at work today after a week off. I was so ‘excited’ that I barely slept last night. No anxiety, just no sleep. Such is life.
As a result, I’ve been tired today which has meant a gentle little craving simmering in the background. Knowing what is happening is important, though - so didn’t get close to drinking.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.
