Daily Check Ins: Day 2
Good morning from New York everyone,
I am doing my daily check in. Right now I am feeling a bit numb, tired, and lethargic. I do feel a bit spaced out but I am doing ok. I am feeling a little down because I believe I messed up a true friendship with my drinking but I am picking myself up and outside and getting that fresh air to feel better.
Hope everyone is having a great day for of positivity because 
is what I am sending out to you today.
Stay blessed always

Just waking up on my day 2
The struggle to sleep last night was a bit frustrating, I’ve gotten myself ise to going to bed again with a belly fully of beer and basically just passing out. But at least this time around I was expecting it and I know in a few days it will pass. To prepare for it last night I did all the stuff I’d normally do when i wake up so i could set my alarm a bit later, which seemed to help. Absolute worst case scenario and I’ll just go pick up some light sleeping meds like i did last time until I’m over the initial bump of sleeplessness.
The not smoking is what really got me. I had to keep myself busy last night so I would t think about going outside.
Upon opening my eyes today my first thought was going for a smoke (as it is with a lot of people that smoke), so I made the mad dash to my cabinet and got a patch onto my shoulder right away then took a few nicotine sprays (I’ll include a picture of the stuff, it’s a real game changer for people trying to quit). The cravings for the nicotine and what not are gone, but the habit craving is still holding on strong and it’s a bit frustrating. But I’m way to focused to turn back now.
One day, one hour, one minute, one moment at a time, we can all reach our goals.

Oh that must have been freaky to wake up after that dream. I had a super realistic dream last night too but not about using… It was about losing my dog. I woke up in a panic and then felt him beside me and felt so relieved. I wish you a great day and congratulations on your sobriety, you’re strength, your acceptance and your motivation to stay positive:heart: you’re doing so amazing!!!

Oh I’m glad it helped a little. There’s so many different guided meditations and some work for me and some don’t. The one I sent you is one that I always go back to. I used it last night too and it definitely helped me. I hope you have a more peaceful day today.

Thanks so much for your reply! I know it’s important for our kids to understand that we also deal with difficult emotions and I think talking about it is definitely good. I just felt so short tempered yesterday and didn’t respond very well but my daughter has such good communication skills she’s often letting me know that she understands but that I could probably say that in a different way. It kind of pisses me off sometimes(LoL) because she’s right- and wise Beyond her years I think. I also think it’s a lot easier for her to move past things than it is for me too which I’m happy about because I hate how I can’t seem to let go of experiences that upset me. It’s definitely something I am working on. I re-live and replay negative experiences in my head so much especially when it’s something I have said or done that I regret. All we can do is move forward reminding myself that. Anyways I can’t tell you how much it meant to me to read your response thank you so much for caring

Uh oh. Texted my case mgr. cuz she’s 15 minutes late, asked her if she was still coming by. Said that she heard a rumor. I’m pretty sure she already knew I relapsed so I can’t figure out what this rumor could be. My day was going so well, too.
