Day 17:cherry_blossom::hibiscus::revolving_hearts:
I am fine, enjoying that sober mind more and more. Mostly impressed by a very calm mood. Need a lot of rest after a very sporty weekend.
Had a meeting with a job coach today, that was very helpful. Tomorrow I have another job interview. I have a unlimited job, but i am no more happy with it and want to change.
I cooked Runner Bean Soup with lamb broth for lunch. For dinner i will have a naked burger with Avocado, salad, onions. Little workout and a bike ride is also on the plan :sunglasses:

Take care :v:t2::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Hello guys. I have been gone for a while now. I actually relapsed and I felt really shameful to even post here. To be honest, I did not want to post today either because I feel that I may have dissapointed you guys and maybe part of me is still shameful.
But I know that I must be here because I must be accountable and I feel that your support helped me a lot during the 65 days streak.
I had analysed what happened and I realised that I was stressed mentally and physically. For the the 2-3 weeks before the relapsed I had early morning insomnia which meant I was not able to recover properly and I was stressed about it as it was the first time I had that.

I am supplementing with goli(aswagandha gummies) for the last few days and I noticed it help me sleep better and the morning insomnia seems to go. I will try to manage my stress better.

Today I am 7 days clean and actually feeling better than the last week.

Have a nice day guys.

Hello all Kat here checking in on Day 65 am at work as I will be all week. I am grateful for being clean so I’m able to come to work consistently.

Went to an in-person meeting last night and tonight is my Zoom Healthcare Professionals meeting (all kinds of alcoholic/addict Dr’s and nurses and other healthcare peeps, many with long-term sobriety).

I am so grateful to my Higher Power for seeing me struggle to stay clean over the past 5 years and finally helping me put my recovery first.

Love you all, and if you’re struggling, just keep coming back.

Kat

Oof that soup sounds fire !! Cheers to another day sober !

Hey everyone almost at 2 weeks af and past 2 months smoke free.
I’ve really battered the reading on alcohol lately. So I’m having tonight off. Tonight I will be reading about making small changes to my diet. Let’s see if I can manage and enjoy vegan one day a week.
Hope your all ok and battling on. :full_moon_with_face:

Been grateful for my mornings the last few months and realizing how much better they have got . When I first got sober I was having these shaking attack’s in the morning and felt very uncomfortable and full of anxiety… I remember early on making a schedule for my morning that included prayer, good food , vitamins, meds , reading something spiritual and going for a walk … I had a step by step instructions next to my bed till around the time I came back to Florida I took the paper off the wall because I was doing these things without trying and they became automatic. I didn’t need to follow the morning schedule anymore. I take for granted that I don’t have anxiety in the morning anymore … I bring this up because now I realize I have been struggling with the night time and bad thoughts and feeling on the edge sometimes. So today I will make a new schedule for the nights to help me stay calm and end my day better … maybe eventually nights will get easier and I will be doing these things automatically just like the morning.

Off today . Going to bike to the library and see it i find anything interesting and then go to the beach afterwards. Make sure I eat . Hydrate. Try my best to stay in today . I feel like I’m recovering and this simple approach to my recovery I will keep up … I have to keep things basic and I can’t compare myself to other people . This is my recovery. This is my life I’m trying to save . Very grateful for this community and being able to speak freely and feel safe to post . I’m grateful for the help and motivation I get from every single one of you . I hope everyone has a good Monday and God bless

Good afternoon all. Checking in on day 353. Day off today and caught up on school work so I decided to clean. Tackling one took at a time deep cleaning. Refreshing and keeping me busy so can’t complain. Got the country music blaring and just puttering along. Hope everyone has a great day and stays safe.
