1020 days alcohol free. Anxiety has been high lately. Happy Sunday
Yes. I use seamoss daily in my smoothies. I’m on the mucusless diet protocol that was inspired by the works of Arnold Ehret. He wrote the book in 1922. I’ve been dealing with a chronic mucus issue and the only thing that seems to be reversing it is eating this way. It’s basically eating high frequency alive foods (fruits, vegetables, and herbs uncooked, unprocessed, ripe, in season, organic). It’s why I’ve lost so much weight (waste), have a nice glow to my skin and normalized my blood pressure and reversed acid reflux. I’ve also had no anxiety attacks in like 6+ months. It’s a journey and requires consistent and patience. I haven’t been perfect but it’s day and night how I feel from this time last year. Progress not perfection. I’d encourage anyone with health issues to consider trying out this way of eating before giving into “incurable disease” diagnosis. Your body can and will heal itself if you fuel it with nature. We are what we eat, think, and consume in general.
This is something I feel alot, the ladies I started swimming with and are so welcoming, I met today and could feel a nought in my belly and feelings of not funny, interesting, clever enough, makes me go quiet and awkward, been on my mind all day, so frustrating but pushing myself to still go but it’s hard… wish I could relax into it… all work in progress is my mantra, years of drinking masked these feelings I suppose… but we doing something so positive to overcome by being sober… so be proud
I didn’t know you had the two eldest. For some reason I thought it was just the younger two!? You definetly have your hands full
Well my life is going good right now. Since we spoke, I got up to 11 months clean then relapsed briefly now I’m back on 28 days. But, this time around in 28 days I’ve done much better than I did in the 11 months. I’m currently in a day rehab intense out patient treatment program. It goes for 4 months. I’m loving it.
And I also got myself a job, two days a week
I went to my first NA meetings the other week too. So I’m doing it all lol I figured if I pack in my monday to Friday tightly scheduled, I will leave little room for slip ups lol. So far so good… Its aloud me to really cherish my weekends now and enjoy clean down time for the first time in a long time.
Oh and I joined the gym and have been attempting to go to Pilate’s four days a week, epicily failing at that lol its so hard!
Glad your back
How did your day turn out Mike? Some days aren’t what we expect
What’s for dinner tonight?
Good evening. Getting ready to attend my NA homegroup. Productive day 492 clean a and sober, also…
God bless you all. &
p.s. You are amazing so smile. Ya you!!
Hey Matt it was ok I geuss. I went down to the new food truck in town and got some loaded Fritos, and a steak sub. Then came home and napped some more, then woke up and went for a little ride on my Harley. Now I’m just sitting here getting ready to read some of my book
180.7
Woot woot
Sounds like a perfect day. You’re allowed to do anything that’s safe and legal, to stay present in your life, sober in your life. Sounds like you did that today.
Today I had plans to clean my car. Instead I had a Zoom with a friend and spent the rest of the day watching Netflix. I didn’t do what I planned to do, but I’m sober, so that’s a win. Tomorrow is a new day.
Take care brother. What book are you reading?
Wooooohoooo congrats!
Absolutely. Thanks Matt, and it’s called drawing on the right side of the brain. It teaches us how to draw on the right side of the brain. So like flipping pictures over and stuff like that. It’s pretty interesting and some of the exercises it has me do have been working
Thank you much, yeah your right, great to see so many people doing it, it’s brilliant. Thanks again
Oh wow I’m exhausted reading about how busy you are! Everything happens for a reason hey and it sounds like you’re really focused and in a good space now. So happy to hear you came back firing on all cylinders to give it another chance!
I haven’t done pilates but from what I’ve heard, it’s deceptively challenging lol
That’s definitely worth a second checkin.
Congratulations on 20 months Laura!!
Day 7 less than an hour away.
Today was a little bitter/sweet. Mom’s birthday is today. Would have been 78. I went to church to meet up with my brother, his wife and my dad who I haven’t seen in quite some time. What a great pic. Dad and his two sons. All sober atm. Mom was smiling
Usually I take these events and wallow and excuse to drink. Then I thought. I never needed an excuse to drink. I just drank. Sobriety feels so good right now and to be reconnected with family is only going to give me the much needed support I need right now.
Today I realized there’s nothing like being in the moment. To be present. I stayed up till 1015 last night which is a miracle lol. I would usually be passed out by 6. It’s amazing how much more time I have.
@Wakikki How you doing my friend? Hope you had a great day!!
@littlemisschatterbox congrats on 20 months!!!
Have a great sober day/night
Checking in on day 191. Sorry for the vent ahead… Haven’t had the mind to check in too often. So, got kicked from the Lounge. Understandable. All my focus has been on how crappy I feel. I am SO tired of this ongoing problem with my ears! Have had tinnitus, and mild hearing loss, for a while. But a big nasty ear infection in early January has made that MUCH worse, plus now I have eustachian tube dysfunction and I AM GOING NUTS! Doc said it all may be FOREVER! Plus, I was fitted for hearing aids two months ago, but because of stupid insurance company rules I had to return the trial pair just to order the same ones from another provider. SO dumb. 48 hours until I get the new ones. It has been a LONG 10 days without. Getting old SUCKS! And, I am only 57. 30+ more years of this? Good lord…
OK, vent over. Thanks.
Yay!! So proud of you Laura!!!
Yyyaaayyy!!! AWESOME FANTASTIC FABULOUS
