37 days free from weed and alcohol
I didnt have any using dreams last night! (At least none i remember). Woke up early to have time to enjoy my morning coffee with my puppy cuddles. The world is a scary place and that can be overwhelming at times but what ive realized is I have to prioritize my sobriety, so staying away from the breaking news cycle for awhile. I look forward to going to my new job, thats so refreshing. I feel like a new version of myself, a sober joyful version. Im so proud ive made it this far in my sobriety, but still cautiously sharing as the term āalcoholicā has such a bad connotation. Today i will do my best to do my best and remain sober.
Lets do this thing!

@Minatasha. Smart to come here as opposed to drinking. Very hard when the stupid 
is within your reach. Hang tough.

wow Taylor your share really struck a chord with me. Your insight and clarity with this situation is amazing. I think relationships weāve wounded heal very slowly with time. Iām sure that the way you gracefully handled this makes an impression on your daughter. Wishing you strength!

I would say Iām back but I never left; just failed a ton. As of now I am one day and 22 hours alcohol free. Last night after work was so hard but I made it. Husband had his beers when he got home, I did everything I could to avoid him. I was so fidgety and irritable.
I slept like a rock which was great but I canāt get my head together this morning. I keep making small mistakes, I feel like I could go back to bed and sleep all day.
I am co-presenting the last of a six week course with my boss at work today and Iām really, really hoping I can get my brain together. I hate to admit this but I feel a mix of wanting to cry, sleep, and break something.
Andā¦ maybe someone can answer thisā¦ my mouth tastes like alcohol but I havenāt had any since Saturday evening. What the heck is that about? Is it in my head???
Thank you for being here everyone.

Checking in day 7.
Two nights now leaving my phone downstairs. No trouble getting to sleep upstairs without the phone. (I had been worried about my mind racing without some media playing to ādistractā it.) Good experience so far.
Still worried. Itās a dull hum behind my daily activities. āWhat if ____, what about ____ā. I am learning to accept that.
I am also trying to more consciously dig into that worry feeling. I am finding it comes and goes in waves and theyāre usually connected to a nucleus of worry, a centre.
In this case the core of my worried feeling is the song my wife and I are writing for our community gathering this weekend. Itās still kind of in process; Iām worried about getting it ready for performance.
Iāll put it on my list for today. I made progress on my list yesterday; I can do the same today. Gotta have faith that the effort to grow, the effort to do something constructive, will bear fruit.

You should see a doctor about this. It can be a range of things, including something as simple as being dehydrated, to more serious things like an infection or even diabetes (ketoacidosis tastes like that; as I diabetic I can always tell on the days when I have lost track of my blood sugars).
The only way to know - and to be sure youāre keeping yourself healthy - is to check with a doctor. Be sure to disclose your drinking and addiction, all of it, and donāt hide anything; that will enable the doctor to help you get better.
