Iām still trying to figure it out too. But I think the sugar thing. Or no added sugar thing is helping. And tons of water. My doc said my multi vitamin had enough D in it so I didnāt need a D supplement.
Congrats on a month and a week.
My headaches are the same as yours. Not bad ones. But still annoying.

On a scale of 0 (no urges) to 10 (relapse), I hit 9 this afternoon. I saw a forest of red flags and wanted to go there. Fuck shit bollocks.

399 days no alcohol.
367 days no cocaine.
5 days no disordered eating.
Words cannot articulate how grateful I am for all of your kinds words. Iām so blessed to have found this place and everyone here, thank you all so much, you are all amazing 
Today Iāve been in a really good mood, it doesnāt happen often so itās been really refreshing 
I took my recycling out, then went to the shop and bought a card, balloon, and wrapping paper for my nieceās birthday next week, Iāve got her a kids golf set too, she will be turning 3 and I love her so much, I also went for a haircut, they never listen when I say I donāt want anything done to the top because Iām growing it 
I had 6 meditations to catch up on so Iāve spent the afternoon doing that, I felt really peaceful then got a notification from FB memories which showed photos of my kittens when I first got them 9 years ago, sadly I lost one of them when he was 5 to a blocked bladder and Iām still heart-broken and will never forgive myself for not knowing he was sick until it was too late 
One of the meditations was saying how life is like whack-a-mole, for every action thereās an equal and opposite or contrary reaction, and that was definitely true today.

454 days. It was soooooo good to fall asleep with my man by my side last night. Today my anxiety is bad and the shakes are annoying me. I canāt seem to get control of an unwanted feeling of sadness. As I continue to use isolation as a coping mechanism, Iām realizing itās the feelings of connection and belonging Iām missing. Working on finding my happy in this blended family scenario is time consuming and emotionally draining. Itās tiring to work on my recovery and have to fight against life to enjoy my sobriety. Not sure if that makes sense but bluntly I could use a fucken break. Itās also been kinda bothering me that Iām choosing to be and stay where I am in this āfamilyā scenario. Isolation and avoidance is unfortunately protecting me and Iām feeling Iām in a vicious cycle of sorts.

Sage is one of the few things I grow that survives my winters. Thyme survives as well. Sometimes I have to dig through snow to harvest some. I love fresh herbs.

Yay for double digits! Congrats!
Checking in sober. I had the best weekend and woke up this morning excited to start the week! What is wrong with me?! Joking, but Iām feeling really good after a tough week last week and am doing well with some new routines. Today has been focused on my organization projects and Iāve gotten through my spices so far. Pantry and kitchen shelves are up next. Clearing the clutter to settle the mind - thatās my goal leading into the fall/winter season. So so happy to be doing it sober.
