88 days. Called a counselor today. Waiting on her to call me back to do my intake, but I did get the ball rolling. Been avoiding this, but it must happen. I need help before I do something stupid and hurt myself.

Day 144. The power is on for the moment, but has been flickering. I think we’re doing rolling blackouts again tonight. At least it’s warmer tonight than it was last night, when the power was out.

I’m tired after a chilly and restless night of little sleep, followed by a day of further weather related drama. So we are going to sleep now so I can get up and take the world’s most convoluted route to Lafayette.

There are lots of awesome milestones happening around here. Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll be able to catch up and shout out all the good stuff! For tonight, congratulations, my fellow soberians! We made it through another day sober!

Thank you for your encouragement. I’m really hoping I can find some healing with help from a professional. The memories, the regrets, the shame and embarrassment … it’s too much to carry.

Checking in for the evening :first_quarter_moon_with_face: Today was okay. Was pretty productive even though I wasn’t feeling the greatest. Going to just have a nice hot shower and lay down in the fresh sheets that I washed today. Best feeling ever :slight_smile:

Checking in sober. Noticing a bit of irritability/agitation building within me so I am going to check in more . Not really sure of the cause, just feeling a bit off. Still worried about my Mother’s health, but I am powerless over the situation and it is in God’s hands. Trying to push through and focus on the things I can do like journaling, going to meetings, checking in, and step work. Keeping it simple and taking things one day at a time. Hopefully my mood will shift soon. Have a strong sober 24 everyone. Awesome work on crushing those milestones! :v::two_hearts:

Day 233.
Lots on this thread about all the changes some of us want to make - procrastination, eating habits, screen time, motivation, etc. This is my mind some days at my work laptop: ā€œI should check email. No, wait - don’t. Hey, there’s crackers. No, focus. Do what you were doing before - tunes, I need tunes. Ok, now focus. There’s crackers? Time for a break. Gotta check the memes thread.ā€

The beautiful thing about being sober - in the alcohol free sense - is that I get to see this now. And I don’t think much of it changes until I just get to know this sober self and laugh at her - with her - as she rage eats crackers and doesn’t lose her sh*t on a work call. Not making excuses for myself! Just breaking the shame cycle.

The rat in my mind has been trained to finish the maze for the cheese (er, wine) reward. Coming to the end of the maze now he’s frantically searching for other rewards, sure. Slowly we’re talking him out of that whole mentality. Hey, little rat dude, let’s just leave the maze and take things one moment at a time, k?

So he’s asleep for the time being, the cracker crumbs are cleaned up, and tomorrow is another day.

We did it again - another day. We can do it again tomorrow. I know it.
G’night, big love to all. :orange_heart:

  1. Feeling super isolated with this crazy weather and rolling blackouts here in Texas. Hubby has been stuck at work for 5 days/nights because of an external disaster code that is still in place :frowning: He was able to leave the hospital this morning and make it home safely and now it’s my turn. Kids have missed another week of school, grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. are closed or limited in supplies… this feels like Covid all over again. A few days ago it was Spring in my backyard and now it’s ice and no one in the Houston area was prepared for it :pleading_face: Just needed to unload this somewhere :sob: so thanks for listening.

always finding out something new, this week I am hurting and although it’s not pleasent it’s definitely an experience I’m watching bc I’ve been numb all my life and didn’t know I could care about anything else but me. I always thought I was heartless but this pain shows me I’m human after all.

Had my first drinking dream last night, 60-odd days into sobriety. Actually surprised it took so long to manifest. I accidentally drank a sip of wine thinking it was soda and was extremely angry that I would have to go back to Day 1.
When I think about it, that’s exactly how I feel in waking life…like I would be letting myself down.
I wonder if these dreams will continue or if they ever go away?
