Thank you @littlemisschatterbox means so much to me to have support today!
Thank you Sarah!!!
Ditto @MagicMama! Youāre making such an important and valuable life change and inevitably relationships are affected - not easy to navigate. I feel ya! Sending you some love

Day 199 pt. 2 - saw the doc and was starting to feel better, so nothing major happened right away, but we are going to switch up one medication and try one that can prevent migraines. I also will be tracking my headaches for at least a month to see if Iām a candidate for other treatments. But Iām most excited to try acupuncture again! I tried it once several years ago at a health fair and was shocked at how well it reduced my stress level. Maybe it will help with headaches, too! When I got back home I slept for a couple hours, also. So some measure of optimism now. I numbed myself for so long with booze and it only made things worse. I realize Iām in a period of growth and change and just need to continue to practice some patience and deliberate efforts at being a healthier me. Thanks for all the support, amigos.
Iām down lol
Oooh! I love accupuncture. Ive only done it a few times years and years ago. The woman who did it also got a mirror and we analyzed my tongue. It was so odd! She had a book of tongues, apparently according to chinese medicine the tongue is the window to our health. Id love to go back but it doesnt seem as popular where I live now. Glad you are feeling a bit better and you have a plan!
I was amazed by how powerful the sensation was. The needles were only in my ears and I felt a full body warm relaxation. Pretty wild!!!
Day ,
@Milele congrats on triple digits
@Joy congrats on 600 days
@RosaCanDo Iām so sorry youāre struggling with your headaches, I fully empathise, I donāt know if itās available where you are but I find Tiger Balm really soothing for migraines, thereās a red one which is warming, and a white one which is cooling. I never believed for one second it would work when an ex colleague told me how it had helped her, but itās one of the most helpful and life changing recommendations anyone has ever given me.
@Fnkychic welcome and congrats on 65 days
@Rockstar24777 Well done! So proud of you, your experience, strength, and hope will for sure save peopleās lives
227 days no alcohol.
195 days no cocaine.
1 day no binge-eating.
A friend came over today while his car was being serviced, it took them from 9-5 so we got quite a lot done. Took a lot of stuff to the recycling centre including my balcony furniture that was all rusty, thatās a huge relief as I donāt know how I would have gotten rid of it otherwise. Having someone with me made my anxiety so much more manageable. I worry about my inability to cope doing outside things by myself.
Tomorrow Iām going to go through all of my storage boxes and really try to be ruthless with the decluttering. I am so sentimental so I find it always feels best to hold on to things, I always think they will be nice to look back on when Iām much older. I have memory issues already so things help me to remember different parts of my life and things Iāve achieved. I donāt know, Iāll see what I can do though.
I received all of the tenancy documents via email today, and will be meeting with the managing director of the estate agents once the council have paid the deposit and first monthās rent, to sign everything, it says not to sign until the meeting. I will be paying the council back on 16th April when my sale completes anyway, but grateful they can help to secure the tenancy, hopefully it gets approved
I was going to congratulate you about a day ago bc I knew I would miss this like I missed your last 600 but sobriety means I donāt sit on here all day like I used to. Well done you know youāve been my inspiration from day 1 of my TS journey and still are
Checking in. I donāt have cigarettes and it makes me so tense. I havenāt smoked for 2-3 days. I made myself tea, like old times, and try to distract myself.
Iām in a pretty numb period, just being apathetic.
I would put ciggies in my top 3 things that are awful to quit. Most people smoke to take the edge off whatever else they are trying to quit but as much as Iām an alcoholic giving up cigarettes nearly killed me on day 3. Well done mate for even trying.
- Today was peaceful. I spent the morning home reflecting and then had lunch with my mom and brother. Stopped and seen one of my cousins and she gave me the biggest hug that just warmed my heart sheās always here for me no matter what, if something goes wrong sheās at my door without hesitation. I love her for that . My mom took me for a pedicure and then my Dad made us dinner. We celebrated my daughter just me, my boys and my parents. It was so very special my mom and talked about her and how perfect she was when she was born and how precious those 47 minutes were that we had her. On the way home my son Daniel had a breakdown. He feels with his whole heart and is very emotional. He never met his sister because he was our rainbow baby, he was our joy after her loss. He misses his Dad so much. One of the hardest things for me as his Mom is that I can never give him his Dad back. We live very close to my parents so he cried the whole way home. We got home and I just held him in my arms and let him cry. All while fighting my tears. I didnāt want to take away from his moment I wanted him to know I understood and I was there for him. All is well now.
Thank you all for your kind words and support today it truly meant the world to meā£ļø
I went and got these cupcakes for Reonaās Day our favorite
For once I donāt have the words, only love.
