Good job Rob on quitting the cigs. It is hard. I’ve posted this before. It worked for me. Maybe you’ve seen it. Nicotine is out of your system after a week I believe. The rest is habit. Good luck.

Oh Lordy, I made it through the night with such a painful migraine and haven’t been tempted to drink to oblivion that badly in a while. In tears! But I didn’t drink and I won’t drink today. The migraine hangover feeling is awful, but I know that alcohol would have made it ten times worse. I really hope my doctor and I can come up with a new plan, possibly an elimination diet. That’s one of the few strategies I have yet to try other than different/heavier meds. My mother-in-law resolved her migraines by switching to a gluten free vegan diet. Sigh. I’m still feeling low this morning and quite nauseous but the pain is easing. @Dazercat your post on the gratitude thread helped, thank you for that. Hope your pain eases soon. We can get through all kinds of challenges sober, and better off for it.

Feeling really peaceful as I’ve just caught up on some meditations that I missed this week, plus today’s ones too. At peace with the gloomy weather here in the UK, though it does seem to enable my agoraphobic tendencies to hibernate. I’ve got absolutely no desire to ever go back to the gym or swimming at the moment, going to hold off from cancelling my membership in the hope that I’m ready to give it another go once I’ve got some weight off, because I did really enjoy having it as part of my daily routine and I know exercise is good for me physically and mentally. I’ve spent most of the day reading a book I started a long while ago, before I moved in April, it’s called The Book Of Joy, and it’s conversations between the 14th Dalai Lama and the Archbishop Desmond Tutu, I’m really enjoying it, I haven’t done much reading lately because I’ve found it hard to focus my attention, hopefully now I can continue as I have so many books to read.

I got half a month down , it feels so good to get off of work and not stop off at the store for some drinks. Yesterday was a good day at work but yet a physically exerting one. Waking up on my day off feeling like hell my whole body hurts but I never felt better can never say for sure but I plan on staying sober this weekend. Also want to thank everyone on this forum for there support.
Much love and respect to you all.

Thanks Rosa.
I cannot imagine the migraine pain. I’m grateful for my back pain over migraines any day. At least I can get comfortable on my ice with my pets. I hope you can figure something out really soon.

Day 429
@Its_me_Stella @1in8billion @Olivia Thank you for your responses the other day 
Felt the best yesterday that I have in a while. Roasted a bunch of garden tomatoes and made a big batch of tomato basil soup and some homemade bread that I ran around & distributed to all of my sick family members. Canned a few jars of salsa. Finished reading The Unseen by Roy Jacobsen. Slept so good!!
Sending love to you all! Being around this community remains just as important today as it did earlier in sobriety.

Hey everyone 
So this is my first weekend off since starting treatment 8/19. I had six weeks impatient and now 6 weeks outpatient. The sober house I’m at is structured and that’s why I choose it. Also because I get a single room. I’m on restrictions until Wednesday so I’ll be here all weekend I am so glad I attended zoom meetings.
Anyway 1 month 13 days
Feeling blessed to have this chance Minnesota the land of 10,000 treatments
Good choices, peace, and clarity
