Checking in on day 3
Today I had to get back to work after my weekend, and things are a bit crazy right now. We have so many tourists, the island is so fucking overcrowded! Customers have to wait literally 2 hours for an effin taxi, same with all other services (doctors, hospitals, supermarkets, beaches… )
Did my workout challenge and listened to a podcast on alcohol addiction on my way home to fill those 35 minutes with something useful!
Gonna have some nice dinner now, and continue reading this book (thriller) that’s got me totally hooked! :grimacing::v:t2:

Day 11 :white_flower::revolving_hearts:
Had a good day until now. Swimming (2000 again), chilling in the sun, cleaning, eating, Siesta, shower & beauty… Now watching daily soap and afterwards I will prepare some dinner and listen to “this naked mind”, which was recommended here :star_struck:

I am sick leave due to depression the whole month… Sounding not that depressive at the moment/this day… But I need my time to recover and HEAL. :pray:

I am sooo flashed today about how much chaos I caused and how many things I damaged when i was drunken!!! Feels very good to clean, declutter and reorganize. I like my surrounding very much here :heart_eyes:

Sometimes there are thoughts like… What about drinking once a month. But I have to be honest with myself… Look back… And compare with presents and future possibilities. :revolving_hearts:

Looking forward to 2 weeks milestone and some rich and healing days.

Take care :v::blue_heart: and thank you all for being here!

Such an important realization. It’s wonderful you can make space for this and that you’re keeping up with activities when you can. That’s been my saving grace in dealing with depression. Well done on 11 days.

Good Morning, Guys

Haven’t been very good at my daily check ins.
I have noticed its affecting me.
Been feeling more stressed and have been getting moments of anxiety.
I know part of it is my grandma’s situation and part having intense cravings.
Lately been thinking of beers a lot more.
I know its not a choice and its a mental F**k.
I AM on day 50. Longest ever and I know my dammm addict mind is trying to pull me in.
We have a mini get away this weekend.
I hope that helps a bit.

You would think that being healthy should be easier but during this point its feeling a little tough.

Thank you guys for reading.

@BrianP and @Zeekinout Congrats on 100 days. That’s amazing.

Congrats to all of those hitting milestones.

ODAAT :pray:t3: :butterfly: :white_heart:

With all the raw sober emotions going on your doing it. It’s hard. But you’re doing it.

I hope to see you back on the gratitude thread. Just putting a little bit of gratitude out there goes a really long way for me.

Enjoy your sober little get away. We got your back.

Hello and good evening everyone. Day 8 for me and still feeling great. No dramas or issues today.

I have noticed my resting heart rate has gone down to 63bpm from 75+ this has been since I stopped smoking and drinking. This is good ? Yes? As long as we dont get to zero.

A lot of positive vibes on here which just I dont know…make me so happy :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:.

Thank you Eric … I really have no choice if I want to live. My story is nothing to mess around with is why I take this so serious. Only thing now is to keep pushing forward no matter what . Even my most anxiety filled days and beating myself up for past mistakes is better then being addicted to the vodka and choosing to pick up is just not a option . I don’t have another binge or detox experience left in me . Everything I learn is from other people who have managed to stay sober . I’m definitely a alcoholic though I woke up yesterday and saw 9 months and I was excited for about 5 minutes then was like not good enough !! I need that year lol … in all reality I just have today
