Thank you!! 
I’m sorry to hear you are having a tough time @Minatasha. Contacting a therapist sounds like a positive step.
For the writers block I think you are spot on, put something down on paper, even if it’s a sentence. Then come back to it another day, it may give you something unexpected.
The world can feel like a scary place but we are all here for you.

Late or early check in I guess. Day 302. Anger and sleep are still quite an issue. Woke up after very little sleep drenched in sweat after a night terror and took it out on my wife on her birthday. She told me she wanted nothing and didn’t want to do anything for her birthday so I didn’t plan anything but got a few small gifts and a handmade bouquet. Realizing now that, even though she said nothing my actions were incorrect. Haha. But will be talking tomorrow to let her know that I did as she asked but should have known better. Hope everyone has a good day and stay safe.

A handmade bouquet sounds really nice and thoughtful, makes it special you hand made it.

Coffee. Feeling a little bit better still. Another hot day ahead. I’m going for a short walk right now. I’ll stay outside and keep my distance but I need to move some. Stretch my legs. I’m beginning to understand the punishment in house arrest.
Will not be going to my cousin’s bd party tonight, while she and her sister are my fav family members. I’m not symptom free from covid. It sucks. But I’ll survive. I’m sober and clean. One day at a time.
Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love from my balcony.
@Cloyboy89 Thanks for sharing this important story with us all Colin.
@HillbillyChris I’d stick to “should’ve known better”. She already knows you did as she asked.
@Minatasha Makes me glad to see positivity in your post friend. The struggle is real. Hugs.

Day 500. Do I still want “one” sometimes? Sure. Am I going to have one? Nope. I recognize that want for what it is … just where I am at in my healing & recovery process. Nothing more, nothing less. Seasonally caused for me I believe right now. It will pass. The want moments always do if I let them … eventually.
I can’t change everything in my life but I can choose how I play the cards I’m dealt. Time continues to move on and so do I. Keeping focus ahead. Progress not perfection. Hope everyone is doing well. Never give up. It’s doable regardless of your circumstances or environment. You are worth it. See it. Believe it. Achieve it.

I’m sorry & I’m glad you got it sorted out mate. No joke.
Edit: You gave me an idea actually. Got similar problems for years. Going to start dripping oil in my ears this weekend and give my GP a call Monday asking to have my ears syringed. Thanks!

Well I’ve had an absolutely fantastic day with friends and family. The gender reveal party was an absolute blast. My surname will continue for another generation. I’m over the moon.

What do they use to get rid of earwax? Asking for a friend.

Good Morning All, I haven’t been good at checking in. After going 22 days, then relapsing, more than once, I was frustrated at myself. I’m happy to say I’m now on Day 8, completed 7 consecutive days sober free. My body is fighting me with inflammation, and I think it wants me to fail, but I’m pushing through the pain. I often used vodka to relieve pain, at least not care about it as much.
It truly is one day at a time, it’s helping me, I don’t plan on drinking today, but I’m not worrying about tomorrow or the weekend. God Bless
