Checking in and Celebrating day 61.
I’ve honestly not been too much into Christmas this year. I honestly will be glad when it’s over. But one thing that I do enjoy is being sober… finally.
So here’s to a wonderful sober Saturday everyone!

Checking in Day 34. Merry Christmas to all. Yesterday definitely tested me when getting all my final stuff ready for today. Kept thinking its Christmas and you have had some time clean. You can have one. Kicked that thought outta my head and refused to stop at the liquor store. I have my sober drinks planned. First Christmas sober in a long time. I know ill have some challenges today with everyone drinking but ill get out as soon as possible. Im not dring today. Have a great sober Christmas.

Full tummies, full hearts, empty plates and empty glasses. Christmas at my house has been a huge success.
Happy kids, happy wife, happy me, happy life.
4 weeks sober!
I hope each and every one of you managed to keep up your fights, if you have well done, if you are still fighting we’re here with you and if you have relapsed, shake it off & start again!

Second check in of the day. I need it. Will check in as many times as needed…hit a meeting etc…will not use today.
Ego is trying to come out …feel my attitude rising…my hurt from my thoughts whether they be true or not but of my ex…children’s father celebrating Christmas with the women he cheated on me with and the child they concived. He is 6 months older tan my youngest son. Mind you my youngest is turning 10 in February. Get over it Des…geez…
I’m still in pain…have to let go…this situation has been a major trigger for drinking and using. I turn my will and life over to you God. I surrender to a new positive way of life. Prayers please. Thanks all for allowing me to vent yet again.,

Trigger warning May Contain Trigger
Checking in. Focus held had a few thoughts about drinking. But I I told myself no. Also have too many health issues. Its a must that I stop. My brother spoke to me on the phone today and he told me he thinks he has afld. Because some mornings his skin is yellow. He’s T total and has been for a good 8 months I believe. I shared my concern with his issue and my issue and it made me think twice about ever drinking again. Staying focused. Drinking a cup of tea in bed watching TV now. Suffering with insomnia, closed throat (could be thyroid) and or (scarring of my eosophagus) from reflux over the years. Part from that and wasting my xmas dinner I’m

502 days no alcohol.
63 days no nicotine.
4 days no cocaine.
I am experiencing really bad nausea from the diabetes medication, it is a known side effect and so I’m hoping it will settle in due course, but I really hate feeling sick. I also feel really hungry but I haven’t been able to get groceries because of my feet. I had a roast dinner at my dad’s at lunchtime which was really lovely. I am going to drive to the supermarket in the morning to buy some proper food.
It was okay at my dad’s, no pressure to drink alcohol this year at all, thankfully, and we sat down to watch a movie/musical called Mary Poppins Returns, it was really good, I didn’t even know they’d made a sequel all these years later.
On my way home, the cravings started, spending time with my family even when it goes okay is for some reason triggering for me. I won’t pick up. I’ve been home for 3 hours and I’m in bed in my pyjamas, laying in the dark, in silence, feeling really sick, but the cravings are there so it’s best not to keep them a secret.
I have to go back to my dad’s again tomorrow afternoon, because my brother didn’t want to go today so that’s when they are going. It will be nice to see my niece too.
Sending strength to everyone navigating family dynamics
