2 months today! Iā€™m so proud of myself :heart:
Iā€™ve noticed that people have been sabotaging my peace for many years through lying and triangulating me with others in drama. Iā€™ve been in such a mind fog that, although I had suspicions and felt uneasy, I thought it was a me problem. I am seeing patterns clearly and can no longer ignore or tolerate crappy behaviour from others. Iā€™ve decided to withdraw quietly from people rather than have any confrontations.

Boundaries! Keep on keeping on x

Day 790 clean and sober. Man I felt like CRAP all day yesterday and last night physically and energetically and a friend pointed out that itā€™s a super moon full moon today. Crazy how it really does effect me every time and I forget every time too :rofl::rofl::rofl: Pisces sun, Pisces rising and Cancer moon here and wow do I feel energy for sure. Didnā€™t sleep well last night but am up and getting ready to go to work. I hope everyone has an amazing day today, love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Day 20 ~ Milestone yeah :unicorn: :pirate_flag:

I am fine,ā€¦ no cravings for the last 2 evenings :muscle:t2:
Received nice feedback for my job interview and will have the second roundā€¦ Itā€™s a nice company. I am in unlimited job, but i wonā€™t work there anymore. At the moment i am sick leave.

Had a short yoga sequence and a bike tour yesterday in the evening and gambas with garlic for dinner. Yummm! :fried_shrimp::garlic::lemon:
Today itā€™s swimming again in the eveningā€¦
And a bit of resting and meditating now.
Just enjoying a real big iced coffee with oat milk :yum:

One thing i do not understandā€¦
I am still waking up with a hard hangover feeling after 20 days. I am not sure if it is from recovery or if itā€™s chronic exhaustionā€¦
I did not have any physical
withdrawal symptomā€¦ Just mental.
Does anyone have an advise?
I am drinking gallons of water anyway :rofl:

Have a joyful sober day and take care! :v:t2:

Yeah Iā€™m still dealing with that a little bit too. I remember it taking a while to feel normal last time. Look up Phantom hangover. Thereā€™s some different things about it

Amen to that!

Iā€™m working on day 3 today. Last night was pleasantā€¦ I was expecting more night sweats but I fell asleep quite quickly. I went for a run yesterday so that probably helped with that!

Day 1020. Iā€™m off to Detroit for a couple of nights, gonna catch the Lions game against Atlanta. We got tickets right next to the players tunnel so my little boy can hi five all the guys coming out, those tickets would be ungodly expensive in the regular season. Anyone watch Hard Knocks? That shit got me fired up!

Congrats on your 6 days.
Have a nice birthday trip. You got us in your pocket. Great list of things to do. Donā€™t forget gratitude. And I know itā€™s one day at a time. But youā€™re going to feel so proud of yourself after your birthday when you come back sober and hangover free. I did. I started my sobriety 2 weeks before my 60th. I didnā€™t cave. I still feel proud of that.
:pray:t2::purple_heart::cactus:
Iā€™m traveling too for 5 days. So you got a sober travel buddy if you want one.

This was the first post I read with I woke up and it was just a beautiful thing to wake up to. Iā€™m only on day 2 , again, but Iā€™m so happy to be having a hangover over free summer morming coffee as well.
Congratulations on making it past temptation and appreciating the magic of sobriety :sparkling_heart:

Itā€™s sad isnā€™t. I think back to times I want present, to times I said things I wish I hadnā€™t, evenings I passed out early, arguments that could have been avoided, beautiful days wasted because of a hangoverā€¦ All because I made a choice to have one drink. Life is more precious than that.
Thanks for your post. Wishing you a happy birthday, and I hope your tummy feels better soon :purple_heart:
