Checking in daily to maintain focus #42

I have a horrible photo taken of me being drunk during a camping trip. I keep it to remind myself why I want to be sober.
I have a camping trip planned in July with the kids which I’m looking forward to.

Thanks for saying this Miranda. Going through the last posts I made you are right, feeling like this is unsustainable. I am on the waitlist for a therapist and just have to take it one day at a time.

Checking in today, which marks 6 months sober! Had been looking forward to this day but feeling very “meh”, been in a funk for the past few weeks that I can’t seem to shake off. Hope everyone is doing well! :blue_heart:

Same, too many. The darkness, the wilderness, the anonymity…

It’s nice sober, honestly. X

You can do this Miranda! Stay strong, think about having to do another reset. You helped me get to day 13! :purple_heart: I know you made it!!!

Sorry I missed this post initially. I’m glad you are noticing these red flags now but I’m really sorry because I know how horrible it is when people are dishonest. Listen to your gut and keep yourself in your healthy space. You are too good for toxic people❤️

Lucky 13 for me!! I feel good not drinking, My head is clear, I don’t remember ever having that feeling. I have aches, pains from rheumatoid arthritis, that I’ve had for many years, but it’s still better. I think the disease always gave me an excuse to drink. It numbed me, but overall, made it worse. I’m happy to be alive and here with all of you. Have a wonderful day! :hugs:

I did make it! thanks Maxine. I’m really proud of myself. I still feel sick though :cry: thought I was starting to feel a bit better but yesterday was worse. Went to bed at 8:30. Slept well until 5:30, but woke up feeling more coldy.
At least I’m not hungover!! I never regret waking up sober!! I have a pretty chill day today. I’ll rest up some more and be easy on myself. Thanks for your reply❤️

Day 5 Being present here had been a big help for me. Always tempted to lie and to say I am ok or nobody cares but checking in it’s a reminder that I am accountable and saw

I’m on day 4 and my physical and mental health is really struggling. I’m having withdrawals and really bad anxiety, to the point where I’m considering inpatient care for a few days.

I hope all are doing well.

Your doing great!!! I have used pain in the past as an excuse to drink too! Alcohol only makes it worse. It’s a huge inflammatory. I’m so glad you’re doing this for yourself. Day 13 is amazing❤️

Day 4 is hard. I definitely think the first week was the most difficult. Keep us posted about the inpatient care. If you’re thinking about it, you should call.
