Day 615
So far I really like my new therapist but the interaction drained me. Taking it easy today. Going to do some yoga and wind down for bed.

So so so much love for yā€™all. You hold a real special place in my heart friends! :two_hearts:

I did it! I finally hit 30 days!!! I donā€™t even know if this is the right chat to post this in but I was so ecstatic that I had to post it! 30 days?! Me? Really?! Someone pinch me and wake me up! But seriously, I have not been sober this long since my pregnancy with my last child. When that clock hit 30, I had to grab a screech shot of it right away. Thank you, all of you! I could not have done this without your support, wisdom and open heart. Thank you for sharing your feelings, your stories and successes. Reading your chat responses have inspired me, motivated me, connected me, and humbled me. Thank you for helping me get 30 days in!

Mid day check in. 2pm post lunch Wednesday at work. Wednesday is usually a day Iā€™ll grab a bottle of wine and I do have some little cravings. Donā€™t need to go to the shops, so getting into the mind set ā€œpick up son from daycare and head straight homeā€
Work is busy, little stressful but I can manage it, and honestly can only manage it as Iā€™m not nursing a hangover otherwise Iā€™d be stressing out like everyone else,
Will check in later, hope everyone is having a good day :slightly_smiling_face:

Iā€™m still around.
A few people have messaged me asking where I am, I figure I should finally clear the air.
I was doing good, in the right path, but I fell and for a stupid reason too. Regardless, i fell.
I havent posted because i felt it wasnt rightā€¦
The past few months have been both hard and life changing for me.

I miss posting here with you all, but since my fall it didnā€™t feel right at all.

I will make my way back and I will reclaim the time I had.

I just wanted to touch base with everyone, let you know Iā€™m still here, Iā€™m still reading your posts and Iā€™m proud of you all.

Thatā€™s why I went off this app too, because I fell abs it took me a little to get back on here and even in the right mind frame to try again.
Wishing you all the best,

Coffee. One more late shift, two days off after. Iā€™m OK. Congested (just tested negative on a home test). Going to keep up with doing some useful stuff before work. So off I go. Have as a good day as you all can friends. Sober and clean, just for today. Like every day. Love from Amsterdam.

@Nowenbrace Iā€™m sad for now youā€™re leaving, but recognize why and Iā€™m glad youā€™re taking care of you. Keep doing that. Wishing you strength friend.
@Scrammbles Good to see you Justin. And Rune. Take care and hope to see more of you again.

Day 603

Had a prep day at work. Husband off and watching kids so stayed later than normal. In the afternoon the sun really hits the room. Feel hot and thirsty, and tired even though I didnā€™t do all I wanted, but going to get my butt home, and eat the Costco pizza that is waiting for me.

Missed a lot of your updates as away and havenā€™t read as much as normal. I hope the surgery went well. It sounds like such a worry for you. It is so hard watching people age and struggle. Hope he makes a quick recovery and you get to relax soon.

Wow, you have really been through it. It is no wonder you have trust issues, and it doesnā€™t sound like they are misplaced. You already know this, but alcohol will only make the situation worse. Congratulations on 90 days!

Are you living with your partner or can you take a break for a bit? Just focus on you. In my experience affairs happen through a process of relaxed boundaries. So it starts with allowing a conversation to get inappropriate, then returning it, then it moves on gradually in steps like that. I am not saying your partner would have followed all of that progress but there must have been some signals, and if they didnā€™t shut it down then it is not good. Maybe she needs to work on why she is feeling this way too.

What I am trying to say, is that you have done nothing wrong. You are worrying about your trust issues but actually they are there for a very real reason.

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time.
