Weā€™re not there yet, although he is definitely changing in subtle ways. Getting taller too, still tries to climb in my lap for cuddles though :rofl:

Ha! Thereā€™s about an inch before heā€™s the same height as me. At the rate heā€™s growing thatā€™ll be mid to late summer!

Haha, brilliant! So strange to see our babies grow into men.

Morning all! Checking in at the top of day 9, still donā€™t know what each day will bring and learning to accept that but physically Iā€™m feeling much better for sure, I can tell my body is coming out of shock. Have the most amazing day everyone!!

Good morning all. Day 14 for me. Just thought I would check in. I enjoy checking in before I start my day. By doing that, I focus on whatā€™s important throughout the dayā€¦ staying sober.
May you all have a groovy day.

Do you have a special brand of flavoured sparkling water? Iā€™m always looking for new alcohol free kinds of drinks

Welcome @Theirishhorse to this chat!

Checking in sober. I will not drink today no matter what. 24hrs at a time, 1 hour at a time, or 1 minute at a time. Whatever it takes. :purple_heart:

Day 1 there is no clarity right now mind is fogged donā€™t remember much from the last few days. Donā€™t remember even posting here, went and got meth and did some really stupid fucking shit and really embarrassed myself. Messaged so many girls on Facebook saying the most derogatory stuff. Havenā€™t slept in the last several days, thought I was gonna die like usually but this time was seriously so much scarier my heart still hurts so much. Really fucked alot up for myself again

Hi Kat here checking in Day 271 clean from meth pills.

I think Iā€™m out of the funk I was in last week wonder if it was PMS relatedā€¦ today am at work an planning on the gym after. Working on a Covid outbreak ward, nobody is really sick but the PPE sucks.

Looking forward to picking up my 9 -month keytag tomorrow!

Love and have a great day

Day 77
Not in the greatest space right now. Going to take some time to get myself out of it today. Hubby and I had a pretty big argument last night. Iā€™m not going to vent or get into it but I was feeling exhausted coming home from work and I always make a conscious effort to not take it out on him. I did well all evening up until I felt like he was accusing me of throwing something out of his (which I didnt throw out) and it just escalated from there to other things that i am doing wrong (one if them apparently being on FB alot). The hateful things that I told myself bcuz of how I was treated and how I keep fucking up things, was beyond awful. So I have to challenge my thinking in that they arenā€™t true. But even this morning I am trying my hardest to not say tho things about myself bcuz words are powerful and I donā€™t want to get into the trap of telling myself something so much that I truly without a doubt believe it. At least Im still at the point that I can notice that Iā€™m saying hurtful things and that I can intervene and challenge those thoughts. I logged out and got rid of the FB app. I wonā€™t be doing the other things he mentioned either. Itā€™s not excuse at all but he hasnā€™t and wonā€™t talk about my past bcuz he says itā€™s the past. But thereā€™s bound to be some residual effect in my mind and in my behaviors that stem from my past. I was in it for a long time and Iā€™m sure I still have some defense mechanisms and survival skills that are in still in placeā€¦ even if I donā€™t need them anymore. Iā€™m not in a place where I need my survival skills but I think to some extent they have become engrained and I need to figure out what they are and dispose of them. Anyway, I didnā€™t sleep well. I had bad anxiety. And then I slept a bit. So im going to do what I can to keep my routine this morning, even tho I feel depressed.
