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 weāre doing rolling blackouts again tonight. At least itās warmer tonight than it was last night, when the power was out.
Iām 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 worldās most convoluted route to Lafayette.
There are lots of awesome milestones happening around here. Hopefully, tomorrow Iāll 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. Iām really hoping I can find some healing with help from a professional. The memories, the regrets, the shame and embarrassment ā¦ itās too much to carry.
Checking in at the end of day not much to report. Thankfully Lmao
God bless you all. &
P.s. If you dream it you can do it. Ya you!!
P.p.s. not sure who to credit for some of these p.s.'s
Itās going lol. Having lots of ups and downs recently but Iām making progress. Really loving it when Iām clean and sober. And remembering more why I donāt want to use. How r u? Hows recovery for you lately?
Checking in for the evening Today was okay. Was pretty productive even though I wasnāt 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
Checking in for the night. Relax, get some sleep and get caught up on some homework tomorrow. Goodnight everyone!
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 Motherās health, but I am powerless over the situation and it is in Godās 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!
Checking in late day 32 thankful for one more day of sobriety!
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: āI should check email. No, wait - donāt. Hey, thereās crackers. No, focus. Do what you were doing before - tunes, I need tunes. Ok, now focus. Thereās 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 donāt 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 doesnāt 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 heās frantically searching for other rewards, sure. Slowly weāre talking him out of that whole mentality. Hey, little rat dude, letās just leave the maze and take things one moment at a time, k?
So heās 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.
Gānight, big love to all.
Ya it is!
Great job man.
- 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 He was able to leave the hospital this morning and make it home safely and now itās my turn. Kids have missed another week of school, grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. are closed or limited in suppliesā¦ this feels like Covid all over again. A few days ago it was Spring in my backyard and now itās ice and no one in the Houston area was prepared for it Just needed to unload this somewhere so thanks for listening.
always finding out something new, this week I am hurting and although itās not pleasent itās definitely an experience Iām watching bc Iāve been numb all my life and didnāt know I could care about anything else but me. I always thought I was heartless but this pain shows me Iām human after all.
Checking in on day 405!
Therapy thursday for me.
The app updated on my phone. Looks really nice!
I love the journal function on it. Iāve never kept one so iām giving it a try!
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, thatās exactly how I feel in waking lifeā¦like I would be letting myself down.
I wonder if these dreams will continue or if they ever go away?
Way to go, +1 year of freedom. Keep on keeping on ODAAT dear.
Blessings and sobriety!
