Checking in Day 84, not a productive day, have a bunch of homework from my new sponsor to get to that I keep procrastinating about. Outing myself here lol.
One assignment added today was from my sponsor’s sponsor, because I am now in that ‘sponsorship family’ I have to write a page each
on ‘Honesty, Open-Mindedness, and Willingness’. Ha ha it will be good for me.
Day 17. Feeling much more balanced today. I have been sleeping pretty well. It is pouring today, so I am sure I will sleep well tonight. I went on a wee bit of an Augesten Burroughs (author of Running With Scissors) rampage. Laura McGowan recommends a couple of his books, so I got all they had in the library. No addict tendencies there.
Exhausted…had my CT scan today and not even 20 minutes later had my results. Kidney stones in both kidneys. I was kinda shocked because it’s my left side that has the most pain. A couple stones are 3mm and this has been 3 weeks of pain. I took 10 days of flomax when the symptoms started and then after a few days of realizing it didn’t work I told my Dr and she put me on another 10 days. I have 3 days left of that and still no improvement. I’ll wait to hear from her tomorrow but I already know she’s going to have me have the procedure to blast them out. Fun times. Well I’m getting the kiddos to bed! I’m having fun buying them new cute clothes lol
Hello and welcome to the community, congrats on your day 1, its going to be the beginning of great things that at times are going to seem tough and that’s when other people step in. All you have to do is let them. I wish you well on your journey keep checking in
I have tried to get sober before. Downloaded an app, lasted 4 days and the weekend came- I drank- and I forgot about it. I deleted all of them and found this one. I wanted to start fresh. On my first day I found this amazing community. I truly think everyone’s love and support has gotten me to and through my first 30 days. Thank you all for being here and making me feel like I have a home here. Thank you for helping me find myself again
You’re an amazing lady and you are a big help to me and this community, as we all try and not pick up that first drink or DOC.
I’m so freaking happy for you Callie.
Congratulations on that first month.
