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.
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 Iām at is structured and thatās why I choose it. Also because I get a single room. Iām on restrictions until Wednesday so Iāll 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
Way to go Trip!!
Both my children went through sober living houses. Either that or we cut them off. Anyway. Both are still clean and sober 10 and 7 years later. Good for you going this route. Keep learning as much as you can with other clean and sober people. Thereās a beautiful clean and sober world out there for us.

Checking in. So so tired. Having the weekend off, so no work. I like that, so I can rest. But I seem to never feel rested No matter what, always feeling tired. And in other hand I think I should work insted, keep occupide and have my mind on something els than everting floating around my mind. Im having a bad time with lots of anxiety, it does not seem to just let go, its exhausting. Got me thinking about something I experiend last year, and then I wonder if anyone here maybe have experiend this before? Exploding head syndrom?
In an hour, Iāll be sober for two yearsā¦ and only now Iām starting to look at my life soberly. I really hope that the next sober year will be spent taking care of me and my loved ones.
I wish you sober thoughts and a sober life. love yourself and your loved ones.
Dally check in itās a new. month September had many ups and downs I have kept sober/clean for 3 months almost at 4 months on October 6 but one day at a time anything can happen between now and then
Dear Rosa, I had my first migraine in 4th grade, and they havenāt stopped since. My mom, her mom, my brother, and one of my sons have them as well. I missed a lot of school, a lot of my kidsā school eventsā¦ a lot of life. Iām so sorry you suffer with these. Theyāre debilitating and every time I have one, the pain is so intense that Iām certain I wonāt live through it. Mine last for 2-3 days, so I totally understand that āhungoverā feeling. Iām always in a weird daze afterwards. Much love to you. I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for sharing in solidarity. I developed them in my early 30s, just like my aunt. We have had very similar trajectories and if thatās truly the case, she shifted from migraines to just plain sinus pressure when she reached menopause, which while not great, is an improvement. Iām sorry theyāve plagued so many in your family. Much love to you, as well.
This Mama/Tt is exhausted I think this one week of isolation/quarantine is catching up with me. I havenāt felt very well today. I am completely vaccinated and had a booster as well and continue to test negative but, itās been such busy week. I am however grateful that Twinkie #1 is not sick at all she still is only presenting with a clear runny nose and is she her normal spunky self. Twinkie #2 and big sis all tested negative today on their follow-up test. My daughter stepped up today and took care of the kids so I could take a nap after work at 4 and now since all toddlers are in bed sheās cleaning the house which is what I usually do every night. Itās a nice little break.
Yesterday, I received a call from one of my many cousins telling me about another cousin who we all know is pretty bad off and she wanted my opinion on what we as a family should/could do for him, such as an intervention. I told her he needs to be ready and willing and at the time she called me he was MIA. I told her I would do whatever I could to help in anyway because I know what itās like to go through withdrawals and feeling all alone but wanting help at the same time. I got a call this morning. He went to medical detox *thank the Lord! I text him and told him how very proud of him I am and I will be here every step of the way. Can I please ask my TS family to keep my cousin in your thoughts and prayers as he goes through the hell of getting clean and sober. I hope you all have a great weekend!
Anyway. Both are still clean and sober 10 and 7 years later. Good for you going this route. Keep learning as much as you can with other clean and sober people. Thereās a beautiful clean and sober world out there for us.
I guess Iāll enjoy the productivity while it lasts.
