Congrats that is awesome!!! All inspiring my friend!
Keep it up ! Youāre doing awesome.
Great jobā¦keep it up!
So sorry Danni , Keeping you in my prayers
Iāve been in bed for hours lol but I have technically been working from my laptop. I love being self employed.
Believe in your own hearts ability to heal you. Put your hands on your heart close your eyes and take deep slow sincere self-loving breaths in and breaths out. Feel those breaths smooth from your heart into your lungs and breaking up all that fluid and releasing it from your body. Howās the breaths go in through your heart and press them out with gratitude all parts of your body. With each breath named multiple things you are grateful for and continue this process and you will feel a shift in your mind and your heart and your entire body. Speak healing of life and renewing energy into your body.
Iām praying in my heavenly language over you and over your body to heal.
Sincerely,
Alison Paige
Here is the challange list. We do it on teams as we are all accross canada and it gives us a way to stay connected during the holiday season. Some have been very creative. I honestly look forward to it everyday. We have mental healh on staff for all of us to use at any time and she has created this challenge. I couldnt feel.more blessed to work where i do.
Is it your business? What a blessing to be somewhere that people love and desire more ofā¦
Proud of you for not drinking. I encourage you to take a different perspective. Like a tiny birdā¦just hop down a few branches and get a look at the world from a lowlier perspective. It may help.
It does with me.
Thanks for all your shares. We will get through this.
Even if I am alone in Colorado and you are alone in your stateā¦we WILL get through this holiday season clean, sober, stronger and Warriors!
Checking in day 13
Feeling a bit sick today, having a weird stomach pain and also had some āwithdrawal pangsā as said in easypeasy.
Hope you are doing well guys
Bye and stay safe
Itās funny i read this and immediately realized how tense i was, shoulders up to my earsā¦etc. Thank you very much for this reminder.
75 days under my belt since my slip after 3 years .
Went out for Christmas drinks with work. Just non alcoholic beers and had a great time. I much prefer this to supping cokes all night.
Checking in at the end of day 348.
Finished work today for the Christmas break. Hoping to fly home on Sunday for the first time in two and a half years. Five of us will have Covid tests tomorrow - that will be an anxious time.
Havenāt thought about drinking once.
My brother (who is also a teacher) sent a picture of the beer that he was drinking after he broke up for Christmas today to our family WhatsApp group. All I could think about was the discomfort in my guts that it would definitely give me.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.
Checking in on day 12! Iām getting to where the obsession is dwindling. When Iām using i obsess over using and when Iām not I obsess over the fact that Iām not doing it. But 3 days ago 530pm rolled around and I realized I hadnāt thought of it at all, which I am so happy about. Its exhausting having the constant thoughts in my mind.
I was sleeping really soundly but the last two days Iāve had racing thoughts and having trouble falling asleep again. I know ill get through it. Overall Iām just glad to be here, on day 12. Iāve been trying to find hobbies and things to fill the hours I would usually spend drunk so Iām having a good time.
Happy Friday my friends!
Checking in Day 135 feeling goodā¦
in a fighting mood I want to fight for myself and my sobriety, Take That Meth! Take that Alcohol! Lol
Got to go for a urine test today I do that for my addiction Dr and for professional reasons. I cheated on so many while pretending to be clean that going and doing a good, honest, clean pee feels good.
Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness it took me years to get it.
Much love and thinking of @anon27760155 Danni

1206 days AF
I had to adjust my doxepin to 75mg instead of 50mg, since 100mg to 50mg was too fast of a taper, and my body wasnāt happy
Still holding true to 0.8mg clonazepam. Iāll lower the dose once it feels comfortable to do so and once I feel like my body has adjusted to this current dose. Iāve only been at this dose level for a few days, but in a few weeks, I am going to try 0.5mg
After that, hopefully 0.25mg, and then 0mg
I hope everyone is having a good day
changed my name from SufferinginSilence40 to SufferingNoMore-Free. At 30 days, i felt it was appropriate, iām not silent and dang sure aint suffering. Iām Free. Itās Friday, i feel good, letās go!
Been there done that and yep nothing changed apart I got drunk and was less capable of dealing with anything. Hang in there and well done on your 4 years thatās incredible
The business is very stressful and dealing with people is hard these days with their over the top entitlement. But I struggled with the holidays way before I started my business. I think it stems from childhood issues with the holiday. I grew up very poor. The holiday was never joyful and mostly disappointing and painful. When I had my own kids I tried to leave that behind and make it absolutely perfect for them which was a lot of pressure as we were of very limited means. I never could do enough or make it good enough. We gave up doing material gifts years ago in an effort to make the holiday more spiritual and less material but I still get that feeling of inadequacy and pressure every year.
Thatās much better!
