Day 7.5

Proud I made it to a week. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I saw my nurse and psychiatrist early today (I took a long nap in between lmao) - good news was I lost 7 lbs! Bad news was my liver was elevated still, but hereā€™s hoping my newfound sobriety takes care of that in time. And tomorrow morning Iā€™m headed to the local sobriety program affiliated with my mental health company. 7 am bright and early for a 4 hour appointment to get on anti-drinking meds - not sure which one but we will see!

Thank you!! Iā€™m so excited! I told my Nana the good news and all my friends are so supportive! :black_heart: Iā€™ve been eating healthier too, balanced meals with less fast food and soda. I even started showering more!! (thatā€™s a whole other ballpark, I have MDD/PTSD which makes showers hard) :slight_smile:

Day36
Finished getting my hubbys meds and soft foods to eat. He isnā€™t supposed to smoke very much, if at all (thatā€™s what they would prefer) AND to limit caffeine :flushed: Poor guy is in soo much pain and a bit irritable due to trying to not smoke. They only had to pull 8 teeth instead of 9. After 22 freezing needles in his mouth it literally took 10 min to take them out, then another 1.5 hours to fill another one, and clean up his teeth. Iā€™m grateful to be clean. I can handle stress better, I am not so selfish, in fact I feel honored that I am the one that can take care of him during this time. Itā€™s a blessing that this infection can now be taken away and his life extended by many years instead of half a year or so (as what we were told). God is good! :cherry_blossom::butterfly:

Thank you so much girl!!! I havenā€™t responded much to anyone lately on here but I have read ur progress! I see alot of change within uā€¦ especially ur thinking and how u approach things. This is very good progress I feel :slight_smile: I truly feel like the disease of addiction/alcoholism centres is our minds. I have always thot about how changing thinking and perspective and adding spirituality makes a huge diff! For me it does anyway. Recovery is truly amazing and such a gift!

Day 5 is huge. I understand your anger with yourself, but if you can learn from it and move forward from here thatā€™s what counts. I hope you can forgive and love yourselfā™„ļø

The anxious mind feels like this. Filling out a form for vehicle registration, hoping i did it right. Took me ages to be motivated. Going to do a walking meditation tonight and be glad I tackled some paperwork. Yuck!!
Impermanence :arrow_right: On to the next. :v: :heart:

Day 21 of no self harm.

Windy again last night so I didnā€™t get much sleep. Took a nap so Iā€™m not overly exhausted. Going to the library tomorrow to work on school. Hopefully my head is clear enough to get some done
