Day 136.
7.55am.
Another difficult night with side effects from Pfizer Jab. Hot and cold sweats all night, my body aching all over like when you have a bad flu, tossing turning, waking up every few hours. It is really uncomfortable. I took Tylenol and I’ve had plenty of water but woke up feeling like I’ve been hit by a bus. I hope these side effects don’t stay long.

Day 2.
What I was doing was obviously not enough to keep me sober, so I made a big step for me and finally got the courage to ask someone to help me and be my sponsor. It was easier than I had it built up to be.
I need to work harder at this and hopefully a bit of guidance will be enough to keep me moving forward.
I haven’t opened my aa book in years until this evening.

your not weak, you talk like you have a choice but as you know too well you are powerless over alcohol. What you do have a choice about is what you do to move forward and I would like to say you’ve done it before but that has been and gone, now is the time for doing the basics and doing them daily. Keep it simple and easy does it

So we are finally going camping…I am just shy of 2 months sober. This is a trigger I didn’t realize was a trigger until we are headed out. I really want a beer… but dont want to relapse more. Hoping it sticks.

What’s going on Ami? You still with us? I know it’s only been a couple of days since you checked in but I been thinking about you.
Check in when you can. If you’re willing.
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.

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!

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.
