Morning people. Checking in on day 30. Not gonna lie the first couple weeks were pretty rough. Seems like it gets better every day with the exception of a few spots here and there. Gonna just keep trucking along one day at a time and see where sobriety takes me. Have a great day all.

Day 537. Sober. The move has been stressful. So stressful. Went also to a party on Saturday and almost had a panic attack and had to leave. Anxiety constantly. Can’t get anything done. Don’t like who I am or what I look like.
Not able to eat really anything, everything gives me guilt and seeing myself lose so much weight gives me too good of a feeling and it sucks because I thought I left this behavior in high school. Why is it either overeating and binging or not eating anything at all but black coffee, diet pepsi and nicotine? I haven’t talked about this with anyone. I just wanna be pretty and liked. As if that would make all my problems disappear 🤷 of course that means that I sleep all the time because I have no energy. Ugh. Just another thing to deal with.

On day 35 of my 5th or 6th attempt at sobriety from alcohol… The mood swings have been a little grueling lately, but right now I’m feeling pretty optimistic. Loud music, coffee (not too much), and planning what Christmas cookies to bake next week are keeping me content for now. 
Have a good Wednesday everyone!

Moving is a HUGE stress! 
You need self-care lady. If food isn’t settling on your stomach, try a healthy protein smoothie. You can’t have energy on an empty tank. You need to give your body some healthy fuel. Get some sunshine and fresh air also to energize your body and soul.

I’m sorry you’re struggling Jenna 
I’ve found that during stressful periods of change I tend to mentally slip back into my old ways of thinking, but also that it’s usually just temporary. I hope those thoughts and feelings pass soon for you, stay strong

I wrote a love letter to myself last night. It was very personal, apologetic and forgiving. It was also congratulatory, uplifting and encouraging. It acknowledged all of the good qualities I’ve developed, the character development involved in my changes, it gave praise to who I have become and who I will be. It was very therapeutics and needed. I’d suggest anyone give it a try.

Checking in Day 133
@Kareness huge congrats on 5 years!
@Mno I am also a nurse in recovery if you ever want to chat…haven’t worked in almost 5 years
Good day today was up at 9am to take care of my 8-year-old for the day his dad dropped him off. We went to the Toy store and McD’s. I foolishly tried to eat something solid and immediately got pain and threw up. That’ll learn me to listen to the Drs and Dietician.
That is my addiction/ stupidity coming out having to test everything even though told not to.
Doing well though I hope you all have a clean and sober day!

So I am back to Day 0… alot has happened in a very short couple days. I slipped recently by having a drink… not my DOC but I still considered that a slip. That just seemed to spiral down into eventually going back to my DOC. My husband who told me that he would delete the dealers numbers, didn’t do it (guess he got busy and forgot). I told him at 2 this morning that I can’t be doing thus and that I absolutely need him to delete the numbers. He sat down with me and showed me that he deleted them. So that I do feel good about. But looking back I now see that I slacked on my self care routine and slacked on my recovery routine and this is what happened. I’m back to 0. So what am I going to do differently this time? I seem to always be in this spot… where I relapse and look back at my slip and wonder what I can be doing differently. I recently have been seeing sobriety birthdays on my fb from people back home who I used to attend meetings with. Celebrating 16 years, 11 years, almost 1 year. Why can’t that be me? My story isn’t any more worse or better than anyone else’s. Why am I struggling to get this? 
Anyway, now that I know for sure that these numbers were deleted it will help. But ultimately I need to be making that choice for myself. Anyway, working on my 1st 24 hours again. Going to keep at this. Make today positive. Get some good rest tonight. And start back up on my routine. Hugs 🫂
