Triple digits, baby
Day 10!
We hit double digits.
Iām super light-headed tho. Not sure if itās because my blood sugar is low as Iāve been trying to eat healthier as I put in some weight while drinking. Havenāt we allā¦.
Or if my blood pressure meds are too strong now. HBP is genetic in my family, but I canāt help but suspect that I developed it mostly because of my drinking. Need to schedule a physical with my Dr to just have an overall check up. Iāve been avoiding it for over a year as I was too scared to face reality.
The weather is finally warming, have some lunchtime yoga scheduled, and itās a great day to stay sober!
Happy healthy healing day TS friends
Kat here checking in on Day 238
Had a great meeting last night which I was grateful for the opportunity to chair. Business meeting next week.
Hit the gym yesterday which felt goodā¦today I am determined to do dishes, laundry, bedroom and computer area. Posting here for accountability. Will check in later.
Love and have a great sober day,
Kat
@CATMANCAM thanks for the good wishes I send all mine to you!
Does she understand it though ?
Morning all. Checking in on day 222. Still seems like one step forward and two back with something new daily! But I woke up sober and plan to fall asleep sober. School is going well holding a 3.9 with 9 days left and a few papers. Had a massive problem with my heating system and went without heat for a minute but had the ability to handle it clearly and financially because I am sober. Hope everyone has a great day and stay safe.
Checking in on day 28.
My daughter has been off school with headaches and our GP had ruled out anything serious but has recommended an eye test, which Iāve managed to book for tomorrow.
I slept well last night after two nights of fitful sleep previously. I had planned to take a sedative last night but forgot, so Iām pleased my sleep was good regardless.
@CATMANCAM Good to see here again. I enjoy reading your posts. I had wondered if the nicotine elimination might be a bit tough though.
Hope everyone has a good day!
Congratulations thatās too cool. Peace

Day44
Had a pretty intense using dream last night. Saw both me and my hubby using our DOC. Thankfully it was only a dream and nothing more
Woke up for meditation. The 1st one was tough so decided to do another one and that was better. Did my prayer, daily Devotional, and listened to my music. Came to a realization about 1 particular situation thats been bothering me for a long time. The issue is with my friend only contacting me for support and then leaving me hanging for days, not responding to messages etc. This leaves our friendship feeling very 1-sided.
I was completely passive-aggressive yesterday and didnāt even respond to her message (after she did the same thing she usually does and hadnt bothered to get back to me for a long time). I guess I was backing off to see if she would notice the same thing she is doing to me. Well, anyway, through connecting with my HP, I realized that God wouldnāt want me to just stop talking to her. If sheās going thru a hard time and she feels she can confide in me, than thatās ok. Hard times donāt last and she genuinely is a good person and she technically isnāt hurting me on purpose. In fact, Iām the one hurting myself by allowing it to bother me. My HP would want me to help others. So I messaged her back and said good morning and asked how she was I feel good about how I handled this. My head and heart collide alot. My head said Iām justified in my anger. My heart says you just canāt do that to another person. In the problem Iād be giving people what they deserve. But this isnāt about me anymore. Iāve been selfish practically all my life to be honest (probably in ways I havenāt even discovered yet), itās important for me to continue living a diff way of life. I canāt just remove drugs from my life and expect things to be diff. It just doesnāt work that way for me. Drugs were an unhealthy solution to my living problem. I take away the drugs and guess what?.. I still have a living problem. So im learning to rely on my HP and walk in my HPs footsteps, turning my thinking and acting over to Him everyday, multiple times a day. Itās working and I am soooo much happier today
Day 656 clean and sober today. Have a job interview today at 10:30am, same field different place. I feel I am stagnating at my current position and there is no room to grow. Will be transitioning from a peer support specialist to a registered SUD counselor if I achieve this. Also Iāve noticed that I am in a great mood and very happy everywhere except when Iām at work. The clients are wonderful and I love them dearly but some of the staff members are truly toxic to my life and my mental health. Iām learning that I control my life and if Iām not happy, change things. I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, love you guys!
Good luck! Sounds like a good move. Hope it goes well.
Yippee!!
Congratulations on your triple digits Pica.
Congratulations on your ten days Ally!!
That takes some hard work and dedication.
It was a great feeling of pride when I was able to tell my doc how long I was off booze. And the blood pressure was so much better. Oh, and those heart palpitations at night suddenly disappeared. I still bring my ear buds to all my doc appointments and listen to meditations or calming music. It really helps me a lot.
Keep up the great work.
Definitely worth trying a new place. Toxic workplace is so draining.
Thatās awesome that youāre growing in your career. I remember when you were lining this job up what a big deal it was. And now youāre ready to go onto better things! Great achievement
Congratulations on your 90 days of freedom Wakikki. So happy for ya.

Why try to say what someone else said betterā¦
