- Coffee. Late shift coming up to finish my work week. Doing OK. Remaining clean and sober. One day at a time. Because I’m worth a clean sober life. Like we all are. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love from Amsterdam and Sequoia NF, CA, 2018. Thinking a lot about this trip ATM. I knew I drank too much then. But couldn’t stop it. Yet. So glad I did now. Good to see you @Chosen2001. Let’s do this once and for all. Life is better without. Very much so.

Welcome! I am on day 6 after a relapse. Just listen to your body and don’t be hard on yourself! I can say for me by day 4 or 5 I start to feel human again, that’s just my experience. Use this forum, it is a HUGE help

Checking in here at the start of day 26! Today is my last day of work due to Thanksgiving this week. My middle school students will be excited today and my newcomers to The United States will be both excited and nervous about being away from school for several days. One has already told me she’s going to be bored. Their parents are very cautious, so most of them don’t get out of their houses when they are not in school. They are nearly all refugees from Nicaragua. They work so hard in school. I’m proud of cleaning up my act so I can be more present and patient with them during their busy school days.
After today I have 5 days at home with hubby and some family visits. I’m feeling pretty great these days and that motivates me to keep up my sobriety. My family is mostly supportive and a bit surprised about my decision and that I told them I’m working on this. I did a pretty good job of hiding my struggles from them so they are not sure why I am “making a big deal”. But I know that I’m finding peace in eliminating my dissonance. I knew what I was doing was harming myself and after nearly 30 years of hangovers, I’m finally committed to change. I hope I can continue to grow and learn in this work.
I wish you all a peaceful and productive day. I’m off to school now to prepare for the day. Thank you for your support.

I’m glad your family is being supportive. I did such a good job at hiding my drinking, my family doesn’t believe me and thinks I’m “making a big deal” for nothing and I’m daft. 
My husband is being supportive now so that’s a win. Day 50 for me. I didn’t drink yesterday and I wanted to REALLY bad. Not gonna drink today.

@Chosen2001 Happy to meet you and I’m glad you’re back to get the support you need.
@Newlife5 First days of detox can be rough. I got some relief with taking some B12 supplements.

Buenos días, amigos! I’m so happy to be home with my people! Our drive was long but uneventful and I was really proud of myself for driving the first half of the way, almost 5 hours 
- some of you might remember I used to have horrible anxiety about driving, particularly on busy highways. Being sober has helped me reduce my generalized anxiety but also given me the space to work on better ways to cope and get back to feeling comfortable driving. Our new Suburu is also a pleasure to drive, which certainly helps!
After breakfast, we’ll head over to visit my brother and his little family and enjoy playtime with a sassy 2 year old! Sounds like a great day to me. It’s good to be sober amongst my family, who aren’t big drinkers, without feeling any urges or wondering when I can sneak my next drink and stressing over how well I’m hiding being drunk (which was never very well, and I thought I was so clever at times!). I’m glad those days are behind me.

- It’s been awhile since I’ve checked-in or even been on the app. I needed to refocus. I’ve had so much going on with the kids and work. I definitely missed talking to everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Anything! 
Cakes, pies, cookies, muffins, cupcakes, breads… my favorite is doing specialty cupcakes and small cakes. When the kids were in school, it got crazy! Cupcakes everywhere!

Checking in Day 2
Good morning!
Normally I would’ve checked in last night but I was so tired and stressed that I just needed to end the day and go to bed. I almost forgot to take my meds last night, but I remembered and took them. So thats day 2 on them. They make me feel abit nauseous and shaky and foggy when I wake up (that’s why I take them at night so that I don’t feel the major side effects of them while I sleep) but just gotta push thru to get to my normal dose. Anyway, hubby stayed home today from work as he was sooo tired from working a lot recently. So I will hit the gym later. Do some laundry and cleaning. And continue decorating the Xmas tree. Going to smudge also today. My support from back home suggested I do a Letting Go ceremony. I am realizing that I am holding alot in and that I just need to let go of alot of things related to my past, my addiction, trauma, and some current situations that are bugging me. So will find time maybe today or tmrw to write down what I’m letting go of and then burn it. I also think I might write my addiction a letter and then burn that too. I want to get things out. And in treatment years ago they made me write my addiction a letter. So much emotion came out. Maybe it’s time to get in touch with things and let it all go. Hope u all have a wonderful Tuesday!
