@EarnIt Iām not 100% sure Iām thinking of the right type of cream, but if itās a type of pouring cream, Iāve known people to have it on various desserts or to make curries and soups. Just seen your more recent post and wanted to say thank you for getting your GNC kiddo into therapy, this will mean the world to them 
prayers for your father 
@TripnMN congrats on 60 days smoke-free 
@ShesGotMoxie being sober, rather than faking it, Iād say any joy you do feel over the holidays will be your most authentic holiday joy yet 
@Its_me_Stella prayers for your province
@Scrammbles welcome 
congrats on day 4 of your new hangover-free life
@Hopeful777 so proud of you
@Mno congrats on 900 days Iām glad you got yourself a gift, and Iām curious as to what it is 
@IamThechange dig deep, donāt give the thoughts too much power, youāve got this, youāll reach that week milestone before you know it, do what you need to do to get through it, sending strength

Had my final pre-counselling support group session on zoom this morning, it was about self-esteem and self-compassion, it was good. Iām pleased itās over. I think we will attempt to stay in touch via a WhatsApp group, but we have to initiate this via the company before they leave us to our own devices.
My friend wanted to meet again because his police interview got cancelled, so I met him for lunch, he had some beers, I had alcohol free strawberry and lime āciderā, which was refreshing. My friend is extremely vulnerable when he is drunk, and I really do worry about him when he says heās going to have a night out, or tells me stories, such awful things have happened, and literally anything could happen to him. I made an appointment for him today, and will support him with it tomorrow. He wants to meet at 9am tomorrow and spend the whole day together, his appointment is at 5:30pm so I will drive him home to his nanās after that. He says Iāve came back into his life at a really good time and heās grateful and appreciative of me, Iām really glad I reached out to him on Monday, and it feels good to be able to help him in the ways that Iām able and to be a positive influence. Itās also really good for me to be getting out of my flat and mixing with people too, I even had a hair cut today while I was in town, and I like it, it felt good to have my wishes respected, unlike my experiences at the barbers near me since April this year. Since the beginning of my transition, a fresh haircut has always been one of the biggest givers of gender euphoria, and Iāve really missed that this year.

Checking in day 11 - feel a bit better today, had an ok day at work. But already finding myself thinking about how boring life is going to be without drinking, I know this isnāt true really, but thatās how my mind goes. And then thinking ok if I really tried and set some strict boundaries maybe I could drink in very small amounts & just socially. I only rarely drank on my own anyway. I have been able to do this sometimes in the past, which makes it more tempting. But the few times when I absolutely lost control are so destructive and damaging - I have to remember this. & It does tend to spiral and just get worse. I donāt want to go back to drinking, but I know this thought pattern will be my struggle. Was just talking to a friend and reminding myself of some of the bad times. Need to do something to keep these in mind. Because itās too easy to remember the fun times when I was drinking normally (with a lot of effort) with friends and have fun. Anyway, these are just my thoughts for today.

My daughter told me this morning that not drinking vs. having a sober mindset are two very different things. Iām dealing with the thoughts right now, too. We just have to keep pounding it into our brains that we are not our thoughts, and we donāt have to follow through on them. We can have fun times without drinking. We just have to power through our own ways of thinkingā¦ learn a new meaning of what fun times are. You can do this, and Iām happy youāre here. It really helps getting those thoughts out.

Congratulations on your 11 days Kady.
Watch out for that āStinking Thinking,ā it can definitely creep up on ya.
Iāve dropped this here before. Itās been awhile. So Iāll drop it here for you and anyone else for a reminder when that Stinking Thinking comes along.
Stick with us kid. You worth so much more than a bottle of fun.
ODAAT.

Thanks, this means alot. Youāre right just got to keep going& find new fun, that doesnāt involve all the bad parts of drinking and the destruction. Havenāt really given myself a chance to experience sober life, ever, so I shouldnāt judge what I expect it to be or not to be before Iāve even got there!
