Life.
Feelings.
Unmet needs.
Biological clock ticking in vain.
Unfulfilled dreams.
Learning to be content with what I have.
I donāt wanna settle!
I donāt wanna keep grinding on my own!
I wanna change things but have no idea how or where to start.
Everything is so frigging transient, I canāt find a solid footing. Something to call my own.

@TigerMatriarch Congrats on 50! Thatās awesome!
@anon53116147 Itās go good to see those numbers coming back up!
@Olivia I feel every word of that.
Day 8. Not a whole lot to report. We went to Cost Plus World Market and got fun drinks for Thanksgiving. I like French Sodas. Unfortunately, they were out of my favorites: Strawberry Basil and Pear Cardamom, so we settle for French Lemonade, Lemon Mint, Pomegranate Lemonade.
Can someone please tell me about Coddled Cream and Double Cream? These are very interesting looking jarred things from England. I will search if no one answers. I just thought you might tell me how you, personally, use it or if you donāt.

Do u mean clotted cream? It is what u would call āheavyā cream but extra thick with gloopy bits. Absolutely bloody delicious. Double cream is bog-standard āheavyā cream.

Iām right there with you on Day 2 though for me. Having the same symptoms. Itās totally normal to sleep a ton. Our bodies are detoxing that poison we filled it with. Typically 3-7 days is when youāll start bouncing back with energy and life again. Hang in there youāre doing great! Just ODAAT.

Hello everyone
I started today saying I was gonna kick Wednesday Buttā¦yeah about that. It was a trying day for sure. My son is back in the hospital after only a day and a half and none of the social workers are helping my ex wife. So that has my anxiety going plus I feel nausea all day 
but I ended this day at church 
and feel a lot better now. Iām thinking a couple sleeping pills and try again tomorrow but I can say
97 days no alcohol
60 days no cigarettes
I am worried about my son and my daughters but I am thankful to know all three of them (4 with my ex wife) are safe tonight.
Last thing I wanted to say I say it a lot but I care about you guys and it is so great to see people stand back up right away make full weeks keeping food under control getting back to 40 days that flew Mike be open to being vulnerable and always supportive. You might be the only group of people that I donāt role my eyes to cat pictures lol.Thank you all for being here
Love and good thoughts

Hang in there. Holidays are hard. For many of us trying to stay away from boozy parties and gatherings itās lonely. It is hard for sure but donāt give up or give in.

Day 103 for me, and itās been a really long, strange day. I guess the day itself wasnāt strange, Iāve just felt weird. I think it may be the holiday season. This will be my first sober one in many years, and Iām having a hard time getting in the spirit. That wonāt do, because our family loves the holidays and we always have lots of fun. Iām trying my best to not associate holiday activities with drinking, but I guess thatās a given since this will be my first sober one in a long while. Iām just not up to faking it, and I donāt wanna have to. These feelings need to be figured out quickly. And now Iām ramblingā¦
