Checking in daily to maintain focus #32

Day 355

Had my second vaccine yesterday, and was shivery, headachey, nauseous last night. Basically feel hungover today. Was supposed to take the kids swimming, but will have to see. The plan was my husband drop us off and pick us up on the way to his tennis. I said if I was off it today, I would take them myself on the bus on Wednesday. Of course, husband against, he thinks an 8 year old should cycle at least 40 mins, play at the pool, and then cycle back, rather than spend a whole 4 dollars on a bus. I just cannot with him sometimes.

Well done on one week and it’s good to hear you had a good evening without the need of alcohol. Be careful though bc I once stood at a bar for 3 hours with some friends without a drink,the next day decided I obviously don’t have a drink problem so got drunk to celebrate my good fortune :rofl:

Checking in on day 50. Absolutely exhausted today for some reason. I am grateful to be sober, but feel a bit like a worthless slob today. Hoping tomorrow will be better.

Day 794

Haven’t been on much lately, life is busy but I’m happy. Happy because I’m sober. Without sobriety I wouldn’t be where I am today and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
Came across this little gem yesterday and wanted to share :raised_hands: much love and strength to you all :heart:

Day 367
Ended up not going camping. Air quality index was up around 170 today and the smoke was settling low in the air. Decided it would be better to stay in and not be outside all weekend while the air is so bad. It makes the air just feel so thick and was making me sleepy/unmotivated. Did a little bit of repotting and cleaning of the house plants.

@icebear hooray for 50 days!! You’re crushing it! :clap:t2: :clap:t2: And maybe it’s the air getting to you too. You’re just over in Minnesota right?

It’s so satisfying…and a little bit unbelievable, isn’t it?! I can almost hear the disbelief in your voice.

This is amazing. Sounds like a rough week. Sounds like a big fight. You have done a week, which is outstanding. Once you get to 10 days, the alcohol is out of your system and you will be making decisions of your own instead of being influenced by the poison. You can do it. You can get away. Keep fighting.

Sorry to hear that you are having a tough time, Tomek. Hang in there. You know that it comes in waves. Peaks and troughs. Hold on tight, there is a peak around the corner.

Maybe you can go for a little walk? Not focussing on exercise but just a little walk? Or a nap or 2 ?

Day 1001.

Thank you all for your greetings and wishes and words. They mean a lot to me. On milestones like this, yesterday I felt how good it is sometimes not to be the only one clapping on my shoulders and saying : cool, I understand you, I am with you on this journey so I know the lows and highs.

Today will be indoors as they announced heavy rain until Monday.

The kittens are doing great although I think the drank caffeine yesterday. They are chasing each other like maniacs. I hope the neighbour from below don’t come complain. :see_no_evil::joy:

Have a good and sober Sunday!

410 days. Well, I made the solo trip and went to the service for my cousin today. Not entirely sure why but I almost passed out in the church and found myself sitting on the floor leaning my head against a pew. It was terrible as sweat was just running off me. I’m so thankful for family being there for me and it wasn’t too long and I was sat back properly listening to the service. It was so great getting together with family that I haven’t seen for too fucking long. Two of my cousins are here from Denmark and it’s awesome seeing them. Tomorrow is my other cousin’s service, the one that was like a brother. Although he passed in February I haven’t been able to bring myself to say goodbye. Tomorrow is going to be a tough ass day and I pray for strength to get me through without utterly falling apart. For now I’m going to lay my sober head upon the hotel pillow and rest as much as I can.
