@Soundlab congrats on 40 days :tada:
@Leveller congrats on 21 months and your new way of life :tada:
@Gonefishin welcome back :slightly_smiling_face:

487 days no alcohol.
455 days no cocaine.
48 days no nicotine.
1 day no binge-eating.

I made it through last night without ordering food, I’m so relieved, getting through a whole day had started to feel impossible again. I haven’t binged today so far either so I’m feeling really good about that.

Therapy was tough but I got a lot out and actually felt lighter afterwards :raised_hands:t2: spoke mostly about how I feel inadequate compared to other men and how my early experiences of relationships have left me playing roles, he said we need to integrate these parts of me. I also said how pre-transition I never felt like I knew who I was, and that I still feel that way, he said perhaps that real me doesn’t exist yet because I need to become me. He said he sees my numbness as that I have retreated, and that we will work on bringing me back out slowly and safely. Only one more session before Xmas then a 4 week break. Glad to have made a start though, feeling positive and hopeful about it.

Afternoon check in
Hubby is still at work but I got alot of shopping done for Christmas and got going on my 6 cakes and 5 batches of vanilla buttercream. Got my stencils done for my fondant work for this Christening cake too! Making good time! Feeling good over all. Shopping is one of my favorite things to do. Could easily be a new addiction (so need to watch that also lol). Anyway, going to clean up this kitchen and start assembling :slight_smile: hope everyone’s day had been great!

Checking in at just about 38 days. Almost to 40 and it’s gone by in a flash. I have had no desire to drink or take adderrall. I’m thankful for that. I’ve made some big changes including my job. Last week I accepted a new job offer with a significant pay increase. Some thing I’ve been talking about doing for a long time.

Month 16 was yesterday

Girls night at a friend’s house tonight. The other mums getting all excited about the wine and margaritas. I will be armed with my ginger ale. Not worried about drinking, but sure I will feel a bit wistful about not being able to partake. But, well, I can’t do handstands either. Such is my life. That is ok. Plenty I can do.

Hello and happy Friday! Got the first taste of winter this morning and it was nice to see some snow, finally. When I left for work at 530 I was wishing I was heading out for a hike instead. I live near a great park with trails going up into the foothills. Hiking there early in the morning while it is snowing is close to magical.
Looking forward to the weekend. I have my plans set. Enjoy a safe and sober weekend all ya’lls!

View from the office this morning

Bye for now…

Checking in Day 10. Today was a good day, I was off from work so I was able to tidy up my new apartment and relax. I went for a walk and for a moment i felt like a drink would be good but i stopped and replayed me be sick and in the hospital no more than 5 days ago so I kept walking and said the Serenity prayer the feeling eventually passed. I know I can’t go back I’ve worked to hard to get to where I am to throw it all away and plus i feel good sorting through my raw emotions and facing things i would normally run from.
