420 days no alcohol.
388 days no cocaine.
26 days no binge-eating.

Today has been a challenge. It took 6 hours to get through to anyone at my dentist, and then I couldn’t get an appointment until tomorrow afternoon. It was too late to go and help my dad so I had to let him down, he asked if I could help tomorrow if needed but I said about my appointment. I feel awful when someone asks for my help and I can’t fulfil it, but at the same time, there are 3 of them living there so they should be able to manage between them, and I barely keep on top of my own housework. Today I managed to do my washing up and clean the kitchen and bathroom a bit. I’ve also showered so I feel good about that. I have been in the worst mood and really craving Fiveguys (my favourite take away), it was the only thing I thought might help, but I have managed to resist so far and it’s 18:30 now so hopefully I won’t cave. I have now realised what might be the issue, yesterday was my first day on half strength nicotine in my vape, so now my bad mood makes sense. I have meditated before coming here and that has helped a bit.

Checking in. When I feel good, its all good. But when I feel bad its all really dragging me in a black hole mind consuming full of headeachs and anxiety.

I was reading about selleryjucie, and how it benefints the body and mind in several ways. Helping anxiety, digestion, skininprovment, headeachs and more. So, Im going to try this, from tomorrow.
Anybody have any experience with this?

Checking in as well. Still sober. A year and 7 months and 12 days. Today I feel crafty and artistic I am doing a diamond painting :gem::framed_picture: and then I learned how to cross stitch as well. So I am in a great mood. I love spending my time doing stuff like this.

Checking in. The fog is lifting. Got through today with that haze feeling you have a fe days after a binge.

3 days in and feeling better which is surprising because I thought if be depressed for weeks after slipping.

My focus is to engage with the tools I use to have sobriety. Excited for it.

Next steps are to get some good food and more sleep then build up my constitution up.

183 days of freedom. A gift to myself ,and my family,. I’m actually quite a funny person that my children like being around today. It’s taken all these months to gain their trust where they can now relax on a daily basis and be themselves without defense mechanisms in place to deal with my old tempers from the drinking past. Today life is peaceful around me and my children and most of the day is manageable.
My only qualm right now is the amount of shite I’m cleaning up from 6 week old kittens…they are seriously stressing me out now, running around being bonkers!!

I went quite ok. Judgement in 10 days

My weekend was hell…
I’m struggling with to much I guess.
Feel like losing controll , drowning and lost in emptyness

Keep my head up is getting hard, but now quick to bed. Spended the weekend in emotional moments instead of getting sleep and I’m exhausted

Bless

Hello! This is my FIRST DAY of sobriety. It know it doesn’t mean much seeing as though there’s people on here who have been sober over a year. I’m praying that I can do the same!

Admitted we were powerless over alcohol and that our lives had become unmanageable.
