Day 430ā€¦

3rd day in hospital.
I didnā€™t pick up my meds on Wednesdayā€¦ As Iā€™d been finishing work lateā€¦ Hmmm thought Iā€™d be fine, felt fineā€¦
Pharamacy isnā€™t open on a Saturdayā€¦
Major tic attack followed by my body locking and lose bladder controlā€¦

Sometimes you can forget and feel fine and then you learn a fucking lessonā€¦ That your not invincibleā€¦

I refused pain meds once again, so they gave me a fucking sedativeā€¦ I was out of it for most of Saturday night and Sundayā€¦

Hopefully Iā€™m discharged todayā€¦ Iā€™ve had a CT scan, ruled out stroke and other alarming things they decided to say infront of me!!

Whatever life throws at you take it, get through it and feel satisfied you coped.

I want my bed and my grizzly bear luna!

Thatā€™s a lot on your plate. Meds work best when taken regularly. It is ironically when they are working best when it is easiest to forget or assume. Take good care of yourself.

Day 73

Working on making a healthy evening and morning routine. I changed very little when I stopped drinking. Iā€™ve been going to meetings and have worked with my sponsor. But I tend to isolate in the evenings until I fall asleep. In the morning its make up just in time to make life happen.

Reached out to my therapist this morning to start working on things. I really want to do some inner child work. I know there are repressed memories because I remember very little from my childhood. Hopefully this work will help.

I hope everyone has a blessed sober day!

Good morning friends! I used to come in here a lot, and I havenā€™t much lately. I am still trying to be sober and I am trying to come back here more as the place to give support and be encouraged by other peopleā€™s shares. Iā€™ve had some ups and downs since starting this journey on June 6th. Iā€™ve made it to 24 days, to 30 days, and lots of sets of just a few days. Iā€™m currently at 25 days and I want to make the stretch last. Taking it day by day. My 30-day coin came in the mail after I relapsed. I left it in the envelope and I have it taped to my front door, and I can open it on Saturday.

Stick with it today everybody. Iā€™m on your team.

Checking in on day 1. Exactly 10 months ago today I celebrated my birthday alone yet determined to change. And despite it sounding contradictory seemingly still at the beginning, only I know how far Iā€™ve actually come nonethelessā€¦ Itā€™s not all just about the numbers. Later today Iā€™m seeing a psychologist for the first time ever. Something so simple yet impossible in the wrong mindframe. I notice my changes in the small things most: more rational thinking, more health awareness, more maturity, more consciousness, more care, less relapses, less feeling lost, more honesty, more selflessness, more confidenceā€¦ Thanks to a LOT of learning via reading, watching and listening, things are slowly but surely looking up for once. Letā€™s see where life takes me! Wish you well too fam, keep your heads up and feel free to get in touch if you could do with some 1 on 1 mutual support on your journeyā€¦ :pray::heart:

I made it through the weekend and was so proud of myself. I thought coming back to work today would make this week easyā€¦. I walked into an office discussion of brunch with bottomless mimosas and my mood kind of crashed. I guess i need to plan for the unexpected. :woman_shrugging:t2: Iā€™ve got this.
