There’s no timetable for grief, and often no rhyme or reason to the process either. Especially if it’s compounded. It can feel better, more resolved and then unravel again and that’s ok. It’s part of the process.
Sending love.
Hey guys.
Checking in for day 6- feeling better then yesterday but still lots of headaches and a bit irritable. Hope this passes soon.
I live across the road from a bar- in the process of buying a new home so really hopeful for the future
I think my sobriety will be a bit easier now I don’t work in a bar, and once I move away from the constant temptation.
Also looking into some group yoga, I normally practice yoga alone, but I really need to meet some new people, and interact with humans that aren’t my immediate family or work colleagues.
Thanks for listening x
Day 601
Lunch with the in-laws, then some back to school shopping and a long ass wait at a 10 dollar haircut place for my son.
New book club starts tonight, from ten to eleven. I have one on Tuesdays too, same time, so gonna be a bit tiring til I get used to it.
Missed you all over the weekend. Shut all forms of electronics down (except tv) and just rested.
Feeling good. Slept in. Enjoyed WrestleMania with my youngest son.
Busy week…back to work full time now. Working on completing my business plan and rebranding of my business. Plus my most important role as mom to my three Sunshine’s.
Anything is possible with God! ODAAT!
Strong Serene and sober 24
Good morning all. Checking in on day 227. Hope everyone has a great day and stay safe.
Hey all, checking in on day 659. I hope everybody has a good one!
Really proud of you, and yes, I’m sure that has to be extremely difficult loving across the road from a bar!!
When I moved I found a yoga community right away. Admittedly I found them cause they did yoga on weekends at a local brewery, but that yoga community has been my solid friendship here, they’ve become not just my yoga family but real friends.
I love that generally there are a ton of yoga studios everywhere so you can find the one that fits your individual style
Have a great day and good work so far!!!
Happy morning, day 15.
Woke up with the worst headache and neck stiffness. No doubt related to the stress of fighting yesterday.
Funny, I don’t know what a normal headache really feels like anymore… I’m so used to a hangover foggy headache, rather than a non-alcohol induced headache. Completely different sensations.
This week is a short work week for me. My son has spring break so I took Thursday and Friday off to bring him to an amusement park!
Have a great day TS!
Ending day 4, a normal hurdle and it was. I actually felt like I was craving and sweating, but not sweating… hot flushes maybe? Anyone once the craving eased so did that.
I craved Diet Coke, and I am not a coke drinker, we are talking easy 20 years so bought one and felt so much better.
Got a manicure, bit of self care and heading to bed (11pm Monday night), so happy I didn’t get “just a small drink” and have taken it another day.
My workouts are getting more effort from myself and I’m more happy at work.
Night Everyone
90 days is huge !!
Kat here checking in Day 243, 8 months.
Things are good went to someone’s 1 year celebration last night at NA in-person.
Need to look to my own recovery though, I have not done any stepwork in a month or two and past time to remedy that. Also the rule is to call my sponsor once a week (vs. text) and I forgot last week. Grr. Well, today is a new day. Will hit gym on way home, then shower and stepwork.
Have a great sober Monday everyone!
Kat

Checking in on sobriety day 331. Enjoying the 3rd day of my 4 month work hiatus until August. Got the kiddos off to school this morning and hitting the gym now. Vehicle shopping online throughout the day. After 2 winters here in the American midwest we have decided to look for 4x4 vehicles so a change for us both is in the making. Have a great day everyone. It’s a great day to be above ground and sober.
Checking in
Day49
Woke up a little off today. Slept in until 7am, missed doing my meditation this morning in the peace and quiet, but I can still try for some later. Just gonna do my morning routine, get ready, and head out for groceries. Then an appt this afternoon. Then dreamcatcher making and cleaning… oh and meditation. Excited for tmrw as I’ll be hitting the 50s for my recovery time!! I just get excited for every big number change.
I did weigh myself this morning as I’m starting my fitness routine this week. I’ve gained 7lbs in 49 days So not happy about it but I’m not going to stress. Just start making changes. So today I ate a healthy breakfast and then tue, wed, thur are my workout days this week at the gym. It’ll be fine. I just am worried about health. Health conditions run in my family so i do have to be extra cautious. Anyway, today is good! I’m glad I am still focused on my recovery and I’m glad now that I am taking charge of my health. Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
Day 28
I haven’t posted in a bit. I took a vacation for the kids spring break to Roswell so the kids could see the funny UFO stuff, and then over to Fredericksburg TX. Things are going good. Getting my list in order on things that need to be done before summer and going to look at a few horses over the next few days.
Congrats on 8 months Kat!!
Checking in daily… this is my first check in on this app. But I’m 324 days sober… and have been doing great really good lately,just thought I should keep accountable and in touch with people in sobriety with me.
