Welcome home sis!
Oooh I love Boston! Best pizza I ever had. Have the best time ever!!
You’re back!!!
Day 281. SO is upstairs having cocktails on zoom. First time that booze is in the house since a while. Seems okay so far. No cravings yet, at least. Hope everyone is doing well.
I hear Charlotte is nice
Man, if it could go wrong today, it did. I turned into a freaking Karen twice today. Just annoying things though. It actually was funny afterwards. I’m just not used to getting angry. Anyway, I decided to not work all night. I’m burned out and need a little break.
Much love sober peeps
Beyond frustrated today.
I have had a massive headache for the last two days, like I can say the worst I have had in my life. And it’s not letting up, tried the usual, drink water, eat healthy, take meds no success
I went to a meeting to catch up with some people I haven’t seen in a while, and it was enough to irritate me., the usual cliches and sayings, or the “you can have it all as long as your sober”
Sobriety cost me everything, I don’t see the benefits of it, in any way.
Woah, I just had some crazy deja vu where I dreamt this happened where you told me Charlotte was nice and then I moved there and then I told you about it? LOL weird.
Enjoy your break, treat yourself to something nice!
Haha it must be a sign
A good day, Woke up to this which was fun to see.
And if all goes according to the forecast, I’ll wake up tomorrow to about 5cm of… snow. Last year, I’d have used that as an excuse to pour a big glass tonight - sigh! But rain, shine, or snow, I’ll wake up tomorrow headache- and hangover-free, and happily so.
C’mon, friends - whether sandals, sneakers, or snowshoes, let’s go log some more sober km’s tomorrow. I just know we can.
G’night, big love to all.
I’m finding today hard.
I am teaching remotely using Microsoft Teams for the first time in almost a year. It’s fine, and it’s going reasonably well - but I just can’t settle. The anxiety which had all but disappeared since I stopped drinking has been back with a vengeance in the last 24 hours. I now understand why I drank so much during the first lockdown. Everything seems so uncertain and rudderless. Add to that a Parent Teacher conference (again online) this evening once my lessons have finished, and it’s enough to make me crave the solace of alcoholic numbness.
Checking in. Day 19.
I had a thought of rage this morning while lifting weights. I also had about a handful of times where I lost custody of my eyes today. It was off and on when it came to lust.
Checking in on Day 34.
I am back to teaching remotely as well. I had a truly awful zoom experience on Monday, which made me just want to get out of my own head. I didn’t drink, but I zombie watched YT for a bit just to think of something else. I relapsed in the first lockdown too, the temptation of knowing that I could just be at home was too much. Stay strong.
Nice numbers there M. Great morning catch. But snow? Really ?
Y’all know it’s late May right?
Day 2 today. Hope to feel better about my self today, not like yesterday.
