That’s unfortunate. Hopefully it won’t last much longer. My arm hurt REALLY bad after my second Pfizer dose and I may have had some tiredness. (Was still drinking then.) It lasted 2 or 3 days.

Most side affects are past within 3-4 days, however some can last up to a week. Or it is entirely possible that you have a separate illness. For me I was fine at around 72 hours and not really bad in the first place. However, my body tolerates vaccinations pretty well.

No smokes/ vape nicotine free
Recovery is amazing.
Waking more
Drawing more.
Im thinking of investing in a air spray brush kit… I want to freestyle on cars…
I’ve.een posting my art on some other places on the Web…
I really don’t think I have much talent, I do it because it became part of my recovery…
I zone out and love colour…
My higher power has always been creative intelligence.
My friend who was my neighbour told me how proud she was of me and that I looked happier!
I try and be a better person everyday x

Today is day 10
My grandmother died today at 2pm EST or 14:00
She was 96
She went by the grace of God extremely peacefully and her husband and son will be there to greet her in heaven
I was talking to my brother who is also in recovery and im very proud of him and myself being at the least sober and at most unclouded in our minds to give her the respect she deserve.
Me and my brother are going to drive to Pittsburgh PA from Massachusetts either tomorrow or Saturday to pay our respects and the rest of the family will be there to meet us
I kept in close contact with my dad who stayed strong but did show emotions. No1 understands the love and respect i have for my dad. Nothing will break the bond we have. He took care of me during my darkest moments and he did it for years and years. I’ll take care of him one day
I kept thinking about my higher power and it was because I saw it everywhere and it was a blessing.
I am not going to drink and even hate the thought of drinking because of this
She was strong physicly and mentally until the very end
She is now a real angel
It hit me a bit but it will come back harder during the funeral

Today I’m just so glad I’m not drinking. Life continues in its uncertainty but I’m sober and working my way through it.
Simple pleasures tonight — pizza, wings, and Sopranos.

I’m so sorry for your loss, @Noshame. I’m glad you are grieving in sobriety.
Checking in sober and worn out. It’s been another long day but I feel appropriately beat and ready for a great night of sleep. Hope everyone rests peacefully.

I have also tossed this idea around a bit and each time I come back to the same question… Why?
I know for sure I am not in any place emotionally to be able to give myself to anyone. Sexually can’t say I am interested without the emotional part, and honestly I am even questioning then but that a whole other topic. Company wise… I have soooo much company, and I really value my alone time. After I dug it all apart it seemed to me it was just out of habit. This is the longest I have been without a relationship or a fuck buddy or whatever in my life… well since I was 13. It is uncomfortable even if I am comfortable if that makes any sense. I KNOW for a fact that if I were to hook up with someone it would go south really fast. I am not whole yet and history tells me that just won’t do…
So I just keep pushing that idea out of my head when it appears. That is my codependency rearing it’s ugly head and I’m trying to behead that bitch.

3 o’clock in the morning and only another 4 hours to go until I finish work and go to bed. When I was drinking I would never have considered working night shifts, when the hell would I find time to drink? Stupid question bc we always find time to drink, I just wouldn’t be at my job very long before I got fired. Happy days all

Thanks for sharing that with me Stella I appreciate it very much. Yeah I’m just going to give up on the idea of meeting someone for awhile, it is what it is. That thing we talked about that Faith did is still fucking with my head and it’s hard for me to shake it. I was actually healing believe it or not and then that happened. Just bummed out a lot. Thanks for all the support

Morning everyone I haven’t been on here all week ! I have been so busy at work with w new system being installed and been working 10-11 hour days , getting home , tea, shower and bed !! Anyway I missed a milestone yesterday 7 months ! Really happy with that and so are my kids and partner . Still have the occasional desire for a beer , not a physical craving more of a thought of a beer or wine on a sunny day etc but never want to go back to sneaking half bottles of vodka /gin down neat and trying to pretend I wasn’t drunk .
I’m going to spend this first half hour of the day reading through the threads on here before I hit another busy day , hope everyone is doing ok

Day 29/419 pills/booze
Watching CBeebies after the early morning wake up with my youngest!
Today I will do my work to the best of my ability, control only what I can control, and connect with a friend.
I confided in my wife a few days ago about my pill use. The world didn’t fall apart. I feel lighter.
Take care
