Checking in. Day 14 AF.
Horrible stressful day. My autistic child put up one of the worst fights on record injuring me and a teacher. Driving away I think i went through the speed camera 5mph over but I’m not sure. Went to gym. Helped abit. Felt suddenly like i was going to cry in the store getting apples but shuffled out. Got to collect child soon. Early check in and I’ll check in again later. I need to get through this. I need to deal with the emotions and stress by myself… no quick fixes. I did buy a random new lamp in the sale. Looks nice.
Be back later.
Well done everyone.

First off Congratulations! on your 14 day victory. That’s amazing! You surely had a rough day. Stay on here as much as you can or take in a zoom meeting for support. I help a couple days a week with my grandson that is autistic. Most of the time he is sweet and loving and a great joy. Occasionally I get called to the school and he’s throwing chairs and shreeking bloody murder. He’s a big boy for 8 and when he gets a full head of steam it’s a handful. I have no magic to make this better for you but I’m here and listening. I wish I could make you a cup of tea and give you a big hug.

I hear you. 
I’m so sorry that happened. Sending big hugs to you. Hopefully your kiddo is calm now.

I also have an autistic grandchild that I help with a couple days a week. Since I’m self-employed and my daughter & son-in-law work full time in neighboring towns, I am the on-call for the school when issues arise. Covid lockdowns and remote learning was a nightmare. I’m not proud to say my drinking increased massively during lockdowns. Hugs and love Andrea

We may need a autism support thread. I should have expected there are many of us dealing with this but it never occurred to me I wasn’t alone.

Thank you. An autism thread I would be grateful for too. He is home now and after an initial 30 min meltdown I said oh look I got you a new lamp. Which isn’t true… but whatever works. He us now turning it off and on … on repeat. Goodbye pretty lamp. Hello five mins peace.
I will check in again later x

I’m glad you’re here Kaitlyn. Don’t feel too bad for too long please. The realization you just had is empowering and liberating. We don’t need alcohol in our lives. In fact we are so much better off without it. It’s poison, just like @ShadowFax right beneath you says. He’s so right. My life is already so much better and it will only get better. Sober and clean. One day at a time. Hugs.

Day 11 for me! I had an amazing weekend with my two daughters and grandkids. Usually I make up excuses not to do anything with them because I’m hung over and of course felt super guilty that I was missing out on the moments that could make memories.
I am thankful for finally getting sleep, not quite 8 hours but getting closer. I’ve been in remission from stage 4 cancer since May 2016 and treating my body like I should be doing. My cancer wasn’t alcohol related but it sure didn’t help the situation! Glad to be relatively healthy and able to wake up to a new sunny day.
Congratulations to all the alcohol free days here! So many! Let’s keep it going!

Hi Fellow TS crew, checking in Day 166.
Like someone said big snowstorm in Ontario Canada 
so haven’t been out yet. Need more sugar-free Red Bull which I am becoming dependent on lol. Sigh.
Other than that have an appointment with my addiction Dr over the phone this afternoon, then my Healthcare professionals addiction meeting over Zoom tonight. We are discussing the terms ‘addiction’ vs. ‘substance use disorder’ vs ‘alcoholism’ and any other terms you can think of.
I promise you all I will do some stepwork today as well.
Love to everyone! Stay clean and sober!
