#Day 1255 :expressionless:
Good news first: I had a perfect wedding! :heart:
But the day after the tattoo artist put the wished tattoo on my arm but fucked it up big time.
Went back the day after almost in tears.
They say they can fix it but this tattoo has to heal first. So I have to wait for another 2 weeks. They put the best tattoo artist on it but my head is still in so much stress. Because of that massive cravings. So I keep myself busy and just ordered some Gaba supplements to help me cope with the stress. I have to let go because I’m not in control. There is nothing I can do about it besides waiting and I’m deffinitely not good at it.
13 night of sleep ahead before fix up.
And what if I’m not satisfied after that? It almost gives me a panic atack.
Fuck! :expressionless:

Day 2

Feeling some sore throat symptoms. I am afraid to not get flu because starting new important job on March 1.

Drinking mix of Lapacho with Yerba Mate.

In this light it is interesting to note that native folklore teaches that yerbamate is a catalyst for lapacho; yerbamate becomes the foundation for lapacho therapy […]

Getting closer and closer to a month.

If it wasn’t for this forum, my amazing sponsor, my AA home group and husband who is supportive of my sobriety, I think my journey would be a lot more challenging.

Have a lovely weekend everyone, we are doing this, DESPITE life getting messy sometimes.

Yes it was!
I kept telling myself I did not need a drink. Over and over again. After a while I was able to enjoy the party.
I still like sobriety more than drinking…

Hi checking in day 205 missed a couple checkins because I have been sick with some gastro illness , the old N, V, D.

Had to miss an in-person meeting last night and some stepwork with my sponsor today but no desire at all to use so that is good.

Hope you all have a great clean and sober day!
