Day 7! One week in. Feeling pretty good. Trying to actively retrain my mind so it doesn’t forget the woes of a drunken life. Previously, it forgot quite easily.
I also have a dentist appointment which i have been putting off for eternity, thanks to my addiction. Now, ican finally have the motivation to take these self-care steps in my life.
Thanks guys! Hope you’re all keeping well.

Checking in
Day 133
So I got the result of my ultrasound. Surprisingly everything is normal! Omg! I was sort of in shock actually but I’m happy of course. I was positive something was wrong. I’m grateful 
Now for the bloodwork in July and we will see how that goes. If nothing is wrong tho with my bloodwork, than I seriously am not sure what’s going on with me. They are checking hormones, thyroid, insulin or something lol, checking for diabetes etc. Just to try and figure out what’s going on with me. So ya if that’s normal too… then idk 
I will wait until then

Strange, long day. After barely sleeping at all, I took the first bus out to the nature trail to retrieve my camping gear. It was still there fortunately. With that taken care of, I started wondering how to make a little money the rest of the day. My internet bill is overdue. Vocational Rehab could pay for it, since I signed up for internet to take online classes. Problem is, I won’t know until Friday if I’m getting back into school and my service is due to be cut off on Thursday. 
I thought (briefly) about standing on the street corner with a sign. I didn’t mind doing that when I was drunk and trying to get drunker. Can’t do it now.
So I went to the library to pick up some books I’d placed on hold. Recently I checked out the Recovery Dharma thread out of curiosity and was immediately intrigued by Pema Chodron. As it happened, the library has her stuff. So I got 4 of her books and a tourist guide to Camino de Santiago.
And coming home, I found $10 at the station while transferring buses. Not a bad day overall. Just had ice cream!

It’s quite okay to rant; that’s what we are here for. I’m sorry he’s making your recovery harder than it should be. You can always find someone here to talk to. Focus on you and try not to take him to seriously.

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes we don’t get the support we need from our partners and it sucks but perhaps use that as a drive to stay sober. So that he sees how great life can be without alcohol. Wishing you lots of peace and strength.

Day 23. Yesterday, it actually got harder for me not to drink. I got really cranky and edgy. I was also starving and since we’re traveling I didn’t have any snacks. I lost my temper. I was up crying last night. There’s no where to run. There’s nothing for me to do to numb myself out. It’s just me and these emotions. I explained to my husband today what was happening. He didn’t say much, just, “Ok.” Today has been better. We have all laughed a little more than yesterday. ODAAT. I’m not going to drink today.

Glad your camping gear was still there where you stashed it, and $10.? That’s a good day!

Wow, that sucks. I’m sorry you’re going through that. You’re always welcome here to vent. I was about to jump on and bitch about my day, but it’s not too bad. I’m cranky and irritable, but will get over it. Hope his being a shit is temporary
