Day 107

Most refreshed night of sleep of 2022 and itā€™s not close. Sometimes I take a magnesium supplement (gummies) before bed to help me sleep, decided to take the powder form of the same supplement and had the most vivid dreams. Almost woke up laughing. Which means i probably should take it every night if i can because wow, i actually feel refreshed. It also helps my oldest didnā€™t climb into our bed this morning, so that was cool too. Alrighty, everyone have a great day today!

@Mno Congrats on 1000! Thatā€™s fantastic!
@Fury & @Miranda I read somewhere that counting days can be counting days can be counterproductive because ā€œcreates unnecessary stress and fosters a sense of competitionā€. I personally do better if I donā€™t think too much about my days, but in the back of my mind, the counter is still running.

Anyone else have that dream that youā€™re still awake and you wake up more tired than you already were? :angry: Iā€™m glad itā€™s Friday!

Checking in day 5. Off to get some sober sleep and then itā€™s my last shift for the week. Ordered some decaf teas for the weekend and a huge blanket sweatshirt. I will do that and watch movies and cook this weekend. Happy Friday all :purple_heart:

Day 165.

Missed yesterdayā€™s check in šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø
It was a strange and almost non existent day.
Not good, not horrible, just a day.
I woke up and performed my routine, started feeling some anxiety so I thought why not go to lunch at the mall and somewhere between eating and shopping, I started to feel off. Idk what it was, a mixture of illness, fatigue and sadness. I decided it was best to go home and isolate incase it was covid,(itā€™s not btw) just to be safe. I laid down after getting home, said a prayer before meditation and eventually drifted off.
Today, I woke up refreshed and feeling so alive(took a 2nd covid test too) and singing, just full of joy.
The time I woke up was a bit early but it will definitely give the much desired tweak in my sleep schedule.
Overall, I feel okay. Better than okay.
And thats such a motherfucking blessing < 3

This month marks some huge milestones. And somehow, I donā€™t feel shaken.
I feel formidable, I feel determined, I feel alive.
Half a year since my seperation from the love of my life, in a week.
Half a year since my suicide, not too long after that.
Half a year since I stopped poisoning my life with alcohol.

This life is mine, I made it mine.
I might adore, want, miss and love you for the rest of my days.
Despite the toxic hurt that scars me, I will always miss us.
But this life? This life is now mine.

I am okay living my life alone, afterall I have my precious daughter to share it with.
I hope you are okay, I am.
I can honestly say that I am.
I can only pray that you are okay, and sober too.

Very encouraging post. Iā€™m happy to hear things are going so well today.
Iā€™m almost at day five!!! Iā€™m sooooo excited.
Woke up way too early though and have a headacheā€¦ Slightly nauseous. Nothing unmanageable. I think Iā€™m pretty lucky not too be experincing worse symptoms.(a little anxious tooā€¦ But Iā€™m going to try a meditation!)

Checking in on day 300! Itā€™s not an ā€œactualā€ milestone but itā€™s a cool number to hit. Sitting at home at the moment waiting on my 2nd round of phone interviews for a position Iā€™m hopeful for. Fingers crossed :crossed_fingers:. Iā€™ll check back in later on after I get some feedback. Have a great day everyone.

Since I gave up writing to do lists on Monday (thought i was putting too much pressure on myself), i have missed a dentist appointment, 1 work meeting (yikes) , missed paying a bill and my house is a shambles, so now recognise I need lists :smirk: but shorter ones. I tried

Off to the beach tomorrow I need it . Had a few romancing alcohol thoughts, thankfully I was able to force them from my head.

Wishing you all a good, strong 24 hours :green_heart: odaat

Good morning all Kat here checking in day 212 or 7 months! Woohoo!

Feeling happy and proud that I am clean and sober and want to stay this way always. Except when in a major accident or dying, then I want all the good drugs. Thatā€™s a reservation I know, will work on it.

Work until 2 then heading out with my kids to Niagara Falls for a family vacation.

Love and sobriety!

Going to the DR today to find out whatā€™s going on inside my body. Try to figure out how much damage I have done to myself, why my hair is falling out in droves, etc.

I probably wonā€™t get answers today but Iā€™m scared and nervous of the entire thing, going, finding out, and staying hopeful I havenā€™t done too much damage.

Ugh, Iā€™m gonna puke. Lol :nauseated_face::sweat_smile::disappointed_relieved:
