Thanks! Went to bed around seven and slept till 5:45. When I’m camping, I love getting up before sunrise. If I wake up at home and it’s still dark I think “this is some bullsh*t”. I’m going to get used to morning though. Things are going good!

Day 106
Just checking in today. 4.5 hours of sleep as i’ve kicking one of our sons out of our bed. Exhausted Times. 4am he’s yelling for us, i go in there and sleep next to him(attempt to sleep next to him). After my back starts to hurt 30 minutes later, he’s still awake. At that point, i go downstairs and sleep(attempt to sleep). Now i’m at my desk, Zombie like practically pumping caffeine in me like an IV. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Day 140. It was a hard morning getting my girls ready for school, autumn running away from me to take her meds then fighting to brush hair and just wanting to break down and cry bc I don’t want to get mad then Addie decided to do the same and fight getting dressed… I’m really excited about my new machine, it’s wild I can sit there and ready a book till I’m blue in the face and not understand a damn thing. But I read the Manuel to my machine and have this thing down packed in a hour. And it’s fricken beautiful I actually probably won’t use the app function for the phone with it bc I see it as a huge cross contamination. But the machine has what’s called e give which is going to be so awesome for achieving smoother shading and being able to do whip and stipple shading. And will help cause less trauma to the skin, it’s essentially like a coil machine but with a coil machine you control the give with your screw. This machine will use a algorithm to how the skin reacts and slow and bog down the battery it’s fricken amazing and bad ass. Then late last night after getting all excited about this my brain starts telling me how stupid I am for getting this machine and that now I’ll never be anything or go anywhere with this and it was a waste of money. That I need to give up and I’ll be honest idk which part of my mind is fricken right anymore. It’s like when that addict voice comes in abd says to drink but know the truth and can’t. Well I know that’s the truth that I can’t drink. But when this voice tells me I suck at my tattoos I can’t do it. And the other voice says yes you can never give up, idk if thats the truth like I do with the drinking. Idk I wasn’t even gonna say this stuff today I was just gonna say much love and fake everything but I’m glad I said what I said I geuss much love

Officially in the 60 day club today! This was an unthinkable milestone for me. I’m not getting any younger and I finally started to seriously think about what alcohol is doing to me. I am thankful for hangover free mornings and not having to plan my time around drinking, it is no longer a priority. I know that I cannot stop at one or two drinks, and that made me realize that I have to stop before I start, finally! I am thankful for this forum and all of you wonderful people on here. If you want it bad enough, you can achieve it!

Checking in at the start of day 4 before drifting off to sleep. Starting to feel a shred of hope and like I am starting to thaw out a bit. I have been in such a depresion I haven’t even noticed how low I had gotten. Thankful to be feeling a positive shift within and to be sober. ODAAT

This is day 3 when I woke up about an hour ago I felt so refreshed and happy that I’d made it through the night. Now I’m thinking maybe I need to quit coffee too I don’t want to quit everything all at once but after my regular two cups of coffee in the morning my anxiety levels are sky high. I guess it’s a combination of withdrawal and caffeine probably doesn’t help as part of the reason I drank was because of anxiety in the first place. Anyways I usually just have two cups of coffee I might start off by tapering to having one regular and one decaf. I’m not sure what to do right now with this anxiety but I’m just going to try to take some breaths and get ready for work.

Hi Kat here checking in on Day 211.
Did skip a meeting in favor of sleep yesterday but will hit an in -person tonight.
A little irritated at work because I feel like everyone and one person in particular are telling me how to do my job, but I am new and they have their own way of doing things…I just have to relax and mellow and roll with it.
That is very minor, the great thing is that I’m clean and sober! Every day is a victory.
Hitting gym after work.
Love and have a great sober day,
Kat
