Trying to find a zero alcohol red wine and beer I enjoy as a back up when tempted. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. The only red wine amongst 100s in the bottle shop and it tastes like crap :poop:

I use guided sleep meditations and they work great, Iā€™ll definitely try them during the day too. Iā€™m on antidepressants and antianxiety meds but they havenā€™t been working for a long time now. I just havenā€™t told my psychiatrist. I guess Iā€™m just tired of the endless cycle of searching for meds and readjusting. But Iā€™m gonna talk to him about it for sure. I kinda forgot that asking for med changes is an option when Iā€™ve been hiding it for so long

Checking in. Day 54. Didnt think 2 weeks was possible.

Got 1 hour sleep last night. Painted all day at work, green doors all alike. Then went After that 10 hours and detailed my friends car which was satisfying, though i didnt take before and after pictures. Then made myself shower, and im in my mess of a room. Tomorrows my day off.

Hope i pass out wake up and clean. With coffee.

Dont know what good moods are anymore. Just trying to be good to be around which is hard. I cant relate easy to other people. Very tense, bad energy. I have no choice but to try!

Scared of 60 days, scared of being a few months or years in and going down the excuse line again.

But going to bed soon. Cats. Food. A whole burrito i ate between work and car. Grateful.

Day 1318 :seedling:
Iā€™ve finally got my surgery date! It was a half year of waiting :pensive:
But now itā€™s going fast! 17th of may they are going to remove my gallblatter.
Also the approval of the financial side of the tattoo laser came trough. The tattoo shop who fucked up my tattoo is paying all costs.
Itā€™s ā‚¬250,- for each session and they think it takes 6 till 10 sessions! :see_no_evil:
There has to be 2 months between each session so it takes a while before Iā€™m done and they can tattoo the skin again.
I hope itā€™s all behind me next summer! Itā€™s on my upper arm so I cannot hide it easily when itā€™s warm :disappointed_relieved:
But hey, there are worse things in life! And Iā€™m happy things start moving again! Next week I have the first laser session. The week after an opointment in the hospital and the week after that: surgery! :partying_face:
Glad Iā€™m in a good health and sober for such a long time now! That will help for a speedy recovery after surgery I hope! :pray:


Picture from walk a few days ago. The cows have left the barn and are outside enjoying the fields again.
Have a great day all of you! :four_leaf_clover::raising_hand_woman:

:first_quarter_moon_with_face: Evening Check In :first_quarter_moon_with_face:
Day 73
I got my cake finished! It looks pretty good actually for my 1st time working on that style of cake. I donā€™t think I can post it anywhere due to what kind of cake it isā€¦thats okay. But I am proud of it. A few things happened along the way that really tested my patience level.
My dad now has covid tho :frowning: thankfully they are triple vaccinated so they donā€™t have many serious symptoms at all.
Recovery so far today has been okay. Minor thoughts of using. They are usually sort of like fleeting thoughts now. My anxiety level has been high tho. Iā€™m just reaching out to my HP often for guidance and strength and calmness with what is worrying me. Just gonna do some self care now and sleep. Wishing u all a good day/night!

Day 6 checking in.

Iā€™ve got 99 problems but a hangover isnā€™t one :rofl:.

Seems fitting for how I feel this morning.

My point beingā€¦ I can have a good go at making it 98 problems by the end of the day, rather than making it 100 if I was hungover and neglecting my responsibilities.

Be kind to yourself today my friends, youā€™re amazing and donā€™t you forget it. :v:
