Checking in day 16 alcohol free!
Does anyone ever get into a mental funk even after a really good day? That happened to me yesterday. Not like I wanted to drink or anythingā¦just tired and feeling anxious at the same time. I tried meditation and prayer and ended up falling asleep early (8pm! 
) and waking up at 1am just like I used to do when I would drink. I think itās just my body adjusting to actually getting good sleep for once, but I woke up automatically feeling like shit, even though I wasnāt hungover. Like I had to remind my brain that I didnāt drink last night. Then my brain fog clearedā¦now Iām feeling a bit better. I have my appointment with my therapist later so Iām grateful

Welcome backā¦
I realized too that Iām not strong enough to do it on my own, thatās why I reached out to the alcohol and drug center in my local town.
Awaiting to start work with a social worker and attend meetings. Also will attend online AA meetings.

Checking in, 333 days no alcohol, 83 days no smoke. Feeling a bit better, went for a hike with friends at the weekend, it lifted my mood a bit. I started to bake more often, it helps to do something useful even if my day is not so productive. Spouse had been working from home since the first lockdown, but this week he has to go to the office, so I spend most of my days home alone for the first time in 1,5 years. It makes procrastination much more tempting, but otherwise I really love being alone. Iām so not good at being together for such a long time.

Day 8 and blessed with a migraine. I had hoped week 2 would be smoother. Oh well. I have an appointment with the neurologist tomorrow, itāll be interesting to see the inside of my head. Hopefully Iām just goofy. Have a wonderful day everyone.

I definitely went through that, waking up and wondering how much Iād drank and how much of my day I was gonna lose. It always feels awesome after the fog lifts and I remember that I donāt drink anymore. 
Congratulations on 16 days!

Wow, a lot of action on this thread in the last 24hrs
I had my dentist appointment today, she said the filling was a little high so she filed it down. She said it can take 2-3 weeks for the sensitivity to go away so Iāve just got to hope that it does, itās very unpleasant and Iāve never known anything like this after previous fillings before. Nevermind.
Support group on Zoom in the morning, not as anxious as I was before the first session last week.
