Day 365

A full year. This seemed so impossible not long ago. Iā€™m so proud of myself. Still canā€™t believe it sometimes tbh. Iā€™m happy to be healing, growing, learning and unlearning everyday. At times I do get sad at the fact that I spend most of 20s drinking my life away, slowly killing myself, simply existing instead of actually living. So much time wasted, time Iā€™ll never get back. Iā€™m 28 now, so I still have a long time ahead of me if I live to be 80+. The suicidal thoughts i had are pretty much non-existent. Iā€™m aware of the fact that having to deal with my sobriety is something im gonna have to work at for a lifetime, and although it does seem scary at times, I feel ready for it. Im pretty good at keeping the craving at bay. I never really got into AA, but I do think That I should try Smart, or some sort of group. I feel like having a sponsor and just being around other people that are also recovering will help keep me good as time goes on. Ready for year 2. One day at time. Sorry if this post seems alil bit all over the place, just want to clear my mind. Appreciate you all.

So itā€™s day 36 and Iā€™ve been out and about with friends without too much trouble.

But recently my boyfriend got news that he was accepted for this once in a life time job opportunity. I wonā€™t be able to see him or call/text him for about 6 months because you canā€™t bring your phone with you. Writing letters is the only possible form of communication. I knew this was coming up and I knew in my heart he would get the gig. Iā€™m trying to remain positive and give him the encouragement he needs because Iā€™m not the only one heā€™s leaving behind.

But right now in this moment Iā€™m just sad as fuck. For the first time in maybe never I have to actually process my feelings without using or drinking. During my last 6 month stretch of true sobriety I shoved everything down and didnā€™t really grow as a person. I really have to put in the work this time around. I canā€™t help but miss him already but I refuse to let that be another piss poor excuse for falling back into old habits. I guess if life was easy and simple all the time, the good moments would be meaningless.

Day 21 sober and I got through my birthday yesterday without a drink which is a really big change for me. Spent the day walking and gardening. Then the evening with our Grandson who is 5 months old tomorrow.
Life is good right now.

Coffee. Yesterday wasnā€™t the best day of my life. But it was still good because I stayed sober and clean. As I have every intention to be today too. Weā€™ll see about tomorrow when it arrives, but my plan is to make that clean and sober too. One day at a time. As we all should.

Weā€™re here. Our lives are infinitely better without the use of any substance. Life is still not easy but thereā€™s nothing using would make better. Only much worse. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from my place.

Day 81. I think my ticker changes at 1900. So 81 82ish. still anxious. Did some breathing last night. I knew I was anxious, but as the breathing took hold, I realized just HOW much anxiety I was actually feeling >:( I have such pervasive hypervigilance I am always questioning myself as to my perception of reality. Some days I just wanna sit in my closet and shut it all out. IWND with any of yall today!! Send positive vibes, prayers, or whatever you do so I can find the source of the anxiety and yeet it tf outta my life!
