Hi Kat here checking in Day 222 (Triple Deuce Day my other app says!)
This is my only day off out of 11 so I’ve been happily sleeping in bed all day. Unfortunately woke up, ate something and and threw up all over the bed (effect of my stomach surgery) so doing a load of laundry, serves me right.
Did an in-person meeting last night and Zoom meeting tonight.
Love to you all, 
Kat
Absolutely love what you said! I’ve tried for 10 years to think I can have one or two drinks and be fine. Never works. Never will. That’s why I feel like this time it’s different for me too. Thanks for sharing♥️
Ughhh I still haven’t made the dreamcatcher! The photo of your other one was beautiful.
Sorry you keep having to deal with the same issue… that does sound frustrating but it sounds like you also know how to put it in perspective and move on. Hope you have a beautiful day.
Have you tried chewing gum or drinking tea?
I’m finding it super hard to concentrate as my body is detoxing from alcohol, but I know it will pass and I’ll feel better and better each day.
Oh boy, I feel you. I have a friend (she’s been my friend since 12 years, she’s Bulgarian), and she’s currently at Schwurbler Level 2.0; Trump was the best US President so far, Covid never existed, we’re all microchipped by now, and Putin is doing a nice job in Ucrania. I thought about deleting her from all accounts just an hour ago!! 
Drinking won’t help, totally agree with you. Therefore, like Eric would say; I’m not drinking today, and probably won’t drink tomorrow!
My ears were burning 
Day 151. Just wanted to say thanks @Lorelai and @Mno for you encouraging support. I ended up napping for a while bc I didn’t really feel well. Woke up with a little sore throat but feeling better, really appreciate all the love on the birthday wishes. Treadmill came today almost done getting it together took a while, got smacked in the head by a heavy ass log that hangs above are door. Girls got my some nice gifts so I’m just counting my gratitudes and enjoying the day maybe I’ll post a sober sweaty selfie in a little bit lol
It’s not like I said anything bad about you! 
Oh no 
Your friend is on the same dark side as mine is.
I told him not to text me again. What did he do? Exactly. Text me again. Only to tell me that he finally deleted my number after blaming me I didn’t change for the better 
Gosh…going to have a shower now and then → bed.
At least he told you something positive! 
My son always says i was nicer when drinking,
Now I don’t take any of his guff so im mean, lol
Yeah, we change when being sober. We start setting boundaries.
Hsppy Monday! Make it a good one my friends!
How’s the classes going, Frank?
7 7/8 M AF Checking in sober and renouncing the poisons. Coffee picked up. My mood as anxiety was present. Going shopping soon and will try to embrace the interactions with God’s children, (willing to be triggered 
) Will stay curious of thr lessening of my social phobia.

Something I’ve always done when experiencing inner turmoil, is to change my outward appearance. I used to dye my hair bright colours, cut all my long hair off, shave part or all of my head, get new piercings & tattoos…Well, I’ve had my Angel Bites repierced last week and today I got a piercing I’ve wanted for years, on the bridge of my nose. Wednesday morning I have a consultation for having a brightly coloured 3D butterfly on my hand, in memory of my Grandma, and I’m also going to get my double nose piercings reopened that I had pierced in November but took out in January. So something is clearly going on inside for me at the moment, I don’t know what it is, I need to take some time to connect with the inner me and lean into whatever is going on. Already can’t wait for therapy on Friday. I’ve been having some really strange dreams and my sleep quality has not been great.
I really want to go to the Tuesday night meeting tomorrow night but I can’t face seeing my ex sponsor, I never want to see or speak to him again.
It was a nice visit to my Aunties house, to see my little niece and SIL, I will be visiting with my SIL and Niece again at their house next Monday, already looking forward to that as we get on really well and talk a lot when there’s nobody else around.
Keep checking on and remaining transparent. It’s key . And TS family is where it’s at.
Work through the shame and try to identify root cause of relapse.
Welcome back. Today is a new day and each breath, step, minute and hour we get to make new choices.
Grateful for your Day 1 , alive and breathing.
Thanks man, yes I’m only going to do probably 2 miles or so. And yes head is ok, it definitely woke me up have a tiny egg, I swore and cussed a little and then looked up and said thank you 
. I’m excited for you for you and your new piercings and tattoos, I see you relate it to things going on inside but it’s still nice stuff man and stuff you like. So enjoy and have fun with it, that’s my take on it anyways. I pierced my tongue randomly when I went down to my uncles. It didn’t hurt but that guy did not know what he was doing, even with tattoos which is why I kind of panicked and jetted. Looking at the tattoos he did on me now and the ppl I’m like yikes, but im still grateful for all that experience bc it got me where I am today.
