Day 5
Good morning. Things are feeling good today. Have plans for the evening to go out for dinner with my daughter so I know I won’t be drinking. Day 5 is often hard for me so I planned ahead (honestly, I think since the beginning of Summer I haven’t made it past day 5) An early dinner will definitely help with cravings for me plus I’ll be in a restaurant with my daughter so I definitely won’t order alcohol👏

I used to find a relaxing bath helped. Obviously not in the restaurant but maybe when you return home. Well done and best wishes.:+1:

I’m so sorry to hear this news.
I’m glad all 3 of you were together… in a way it’s nice none of you were alone although a very sad difficult situation to go through.
I hope you and your partner will get through this and I hope the children too.
Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. I have you all in my prayers :pray::pray:
Sending some healing energy your way. :hugs:

Hi Kat here Day 71.

Had am off day yesterday where I just slept but back at it today.

Went with my roommate (and ex-husband) to a nearby town for breakfast with some old friends which was fun. Stopped by a local strawberry farm for a whole flat of strawberries, they are the real thing not like the crappy tasteless ones from the supermarket. Dropped a few pints off to my ex and 3 kids who are not with me, I never have felt this urge to serve others for a long while I think it is a sign of my recovery and maybe I have learned it in NA.

Still nursing a badly cut thumb from some glass from a wooden picture frame our crazy dog destroyed but hopefully can get through work tomorrow.

Love you all from those starting again to those with years on me!

Kat

Checking in on day 15
Todays has been my regular day off; cleaning my house in the morning, some reading at the pool in the afternoon, and now I just did the workout and burpee challenge! :grimacing: Time to take a shower, make some nice dinner and watch some :tv:
Tomorrow a friend of mine is coming to visit, and she’ll bring over a 4-week old kitty she has rescued and is now fostering/bottle feeding… looking forward to meeting little Alma! (I won’t keep her!) Today I didn’t drink, I’m proud! :blush:

Day 23 free from alcohol
Day 4 freed from toxic guy

I am fine… Had a good day with parents and brother for Sunday family meeting, chilling, cooking, eating, laughing… And a short swim workout in the morning.
:family_woman_woman_boy_boy::ramen::leafy_green::pray::grinning::hugs::sleeping::swimming_woman:t2:

All in I am fine.
But today have a bit of cravings…
For both of the addictive things. :grimacing:
I don’t know… It is later in the evening, peach ice tee with Stevia on Ice is ready for me.

I will do some split screen / fast forwardig method… Most helpful for me when i am craving. Never used it for the toxic relationship, but it’s easy to copy, because he acted in the same patterns every… fucking… time!!!
Shitlist maybe helpful again and to bring it into positive perspective… some meditation with nice affirmation for love and relationships when going to bed.

Ok that’s the plan! I will prepare a little dinner snack now! Haloumi Cheese on Tomatoes with lemon and garlic :sunglasses:

I am thankful, for sobriety until here!

Sending love :revolving_hearts:
Take care :v:t2:
