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. There’s 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, I’ll be sober for two years… and only now I’m 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.

Dear Rosa, I had my first migraine in 4th grade, and they haven’t 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 kids’ school events… a lot of life. I’m so sorry you suffer with these. They’re debilitating and every time I have one, the pain is so intense that I’m certain I won’t live through it. Mine last for 2-3 days, so I totally understand that “hungover” feeling. I’m always in a weird daze afterwards. Much love to you. I hope you feel better soon.

Haven’t see; you around much but this calls for cake. Sugar free virtual cake.

Thanks for sharing in solidarity. I developed them in my early 30s, just like my aunt. We have had very similar trajectories and if that’s truly the case, she shifted from migraines to just plain sinus pressure when she reached menopause, which while not great, is an improvement. I’m sorry they’ve 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 haven’t felt very well today. I am completely vaccinated and had a booster as well and continue to test negative but, it’s 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 she’s cleaning the house which is what I usually do every night. It’s 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 it’s 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!
