Wow, heat getting to her or is that normal?
Really sorry, it isnāt you. She is unreasonable for asking you to pass her alcohol alone. You are not being oversensitive. I would say you are under reacting.
@Frank68 so sorry to hear about your Auntie. Thinking of you and your family.

Thatās a big part of what addiction is and what addictive behaviours are IMHO. Big part of what is wrong with humanity actually if you ask me. And a big part of the solution is accepting the void. There is a void, both inside and outside of us, that we feel the overwhelming urge, need, and obligation, to fill.
Every minute of the day. Every day of our lives.
While what we actually should do is live life. Be present. Exist. Exist in its most existential form. Be here, be mindful. Be like the other animals are, with the added bonus of our big brains. I wish I could say it better and I wish I practised it better but I do feel this is true. Itās good to see you Jenna. Missed you.

Hi everyone, how are you all tonight ? I hope that you are all well.
Over here (in Switzerland), all is well enough. Itās pretty damn warm, but at this altitude (about 650 m), thereās a bit of a breeze, at least.
Other than thatā¦ all is quiet. Day 37ā¦ doing well.
Hi @maxwell, I hope that things are OK. Weāre getting pretty close to 45 days !!

Day 154
Hubby took the day off to finish taking care of what needed to be done. I help where I can. The fish tank is complete. Unfortunately we had 1 casuality (a fish from the home we got everything from). I think it was too much stress for the little fish 
Anyway, I woke up early for a workout. Then got to prepping the living room for our furniture rearranging (we had to adjust things due to the fish tank lol). Iām so super surprised actually. Yesterday and today was initally making me anxious. My hubby gets stressed easily when things dont go as planned. I usually just stay out of the way and let him work thru it bcuz he can be snappy at me. But I really saw the effort put into communicating with me yesterday. Instead of snapping at me, he would actually speak to me nicely (during times of complete frustration). Was so appreciative. And it allowed me to communicate better when responding to him. I have been doing that āAppreciation Journalā every single day with him since I started it. I HAVE noticed our relationship change just by simply showing Appreciation. Hubby is out buying more decorations for the tank and than we will do up the living room etc. Will take pics of tank later once itās all complete
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Hello guys. Sorry for missing the check ins. Been really busy and tired these last few days. I know that I should find time for you because its because of you that I am getting better everyday.
Its day 52 for me. My best streak was 54 days and it was during last year. I am very close to getting 2 months and it will be the first time ever. So excited.
@Butterflymoonwoman Hey dana, I know I am late, congrats on reaching 5 months. Thats incredible. You are such an inspiration. I am gonna catch up to you soon.
Have a great day guys. Love you.

I absolutely hear that struggle. I am the same. I either do nothing or fill up too much of my time and burn out. Itās a tricky balance to find. Well done for getting to Day 3

Day 3 - Today I started to feel things again. A lot of frustration crept in. I spent my lunch break looking for a shop that sold beds, wasted most of my break looking in the wrong place only to find that the shop was closed due to the heat!
I am feeling overwhelmed with things I need to do, I feel the chaos of opening up to my feelings again but I saw it as a positive. Time to be kind to myself and slowly work on some of these feelings I have.
Have a lovely sober day all.
