Morning. Had really hard time sleep yesterday, hughe anxiety, think I fell a sleep early morning. Thinking about drinking today, its all around in my head how nice it would be to enjoy today, its friday and everything and I done so well last 5 days. Thinking about what I said to one other yesterday and should follow my own advice. Im soon going out for a hicke with my husband and Kids, hope the urge will go away.
Got a new phone,the app works a lot smoother now. Maybe because my Old one was like 5 years old ,
But I still have a lot of problems trying to manage this one. Itās my husbandās old phone,as you guys knows he won a new one on his company meet and greet.
Iāve refused to change my Old one for a long time. Google hasnāt worked for at least a year,and now the last few days it simply stopped working at all so eventually I had to.
One of the smaller problems except my technologically challenged personality is that I have to hood the phone with two hands. The screen is bigger and the phone overall is heavier. Good thing is that I probably wonāt lose it that often.
Weāve started to renovate our indoor staircase. Itās been heavy rain here for a few days. My husband have been working on the stairs, while me and the boys have done a lot of baking trying some new recipes. It has been very cosy. And Iām so grateful that the renovation is going forward and that our dream house is starting to shape.
I havenāt been able to log in here and update you guys, because letās be honest here I just learned how to add English to my keyboard on this phone
Hello friends. Checking in on day 49. Today is my daughterās birthday and I am happy to be fully present for that. Itās been quite the week, and I will be happy to be going to back to a more regular schedule of work next week. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Congratulations @anon9289869 on your hard-earned year of sobriety! You are an inspiration; be good to yourself today.
Way to go on 8 months @Freeyourmind and I love your triple-eights (and the graffiti) @Hailstrom!
havenāt checked in or talked to anyone on here in a while it seems. pop on for a few min every other day but thatās about it. i got a wonderful promotion a month ago but it sucks all the time out of my day. so hello from my couch at 6:30 in the morning! my arm is in a cast so it makes it impossible for me to sleep most nights. causes me lots of insomnia. today it started at 4am so iām watching the hulu true crime doc āa wilderness of errorā and drinking coffee with my dog. hope you all have a great day!
Oh no, Claire! Wasnāt your leg in a cast not too long ago? Glad to see youāre still kicking ass in sobriety. Congrats on the promotion! Feel better.
Nature is one of the things Iāve used as an escape during my recovery and it looks like you have some beautiful scenery there! I hope thatās helping you.
Glad youāre here Mel. And so happy you got a good nights rest. Thatās got to do wonders for ya. Check in if itās working. Your worth it. And I appreciate your update. And Iām happy to read, I donāt knowā¦ā¦. That your ok? Or at least less worse. And that youāve learned something and shared it. The weed thing that is.
Checking in at the end of day 208.
Took your advice this evening, Eric (@Dazercat) and put some tunes in whilst I was walking to the supermarket. Loved it. Itās the future!
Had a lovely walk with my daughter earlier. I really do love walking with her. Sheās getting into it, too - which I love. We even planked when we got back.
Outside of that, itās been Olympics, sobriety, card games and family. Magic.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.
It did help a bit yes. Going to be better using the natur for clearing my head and get other tougths when craving. And now the liquerstore is closed so I cant get my hands on wine even if I wanted.
That is miracle stuff right there. A life time of battling, a body full of scars and now you can see some light at the end of the tunnel. 24 hours at a freaking time, you knowā¦ itās all we can do. Wrapping my head around this for all aspects of my life is challenging but I watch you do it and you are proving to me it can be done. Thank you, congrats
I am glad you are here Mel, and I hope that you get what you need from us.
We are all still learning so anyone passing judgement on you would be showing a massive hole in their own recovery.
So glad you got a script from the DR, lets hope you get some relief from your symptoms now.
Today I sit and reflect on why I am going to keep my Sobriety going. My auntās brother passed away yesterday. I hanged out with him (drank and did blow with him) a few times and actually told him about my sobriety in the beginning. He died of kidney and liver failure. He was a alcoholic as well. This just reinforces the reason why I need to continue my sobriety. May he Rest in Peace now. Heās not suffering any moreā¦
