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:

All ten of my angelfish went into shock. Looks like two may survive. I’ve had them for three years. In case you wondered, yes, you can become attached to fish. I’m in mourning right now :cry:

Going to still empty the tank and reseal it but it might be awhile before I get any more.

I’m grateful I gave them a good life and this wasn’t my fault through neglect due to addiction.
I’m grateful to know these feelings too will pass.

79 days alcohol free
8060 days meth free

I haven’t used this thread yet, or at least I dont think I have :woman_shrugging:
Checking in to say early sobriety still sucks. Lol if I had remembered that maybe I wouldn’t have went out hell bent on being an alcoholic also 4 years ago but it is what it is and here I am in early sobriety again with all its emotional ups and downs.
I am grateful to be sober, just not super grateful for the emotional swings :sweat_smile:

Day 162

My body is tired. I have work tomorrow and wish i didnt. Errands. I spent so much money. Some good discounts but still. My birthday weekend is a good enough time to get myself presents. Desperately needed new pants, and a shelf. Investing in shelves and bins to try and manage adhd.

Fell asleep before tidying last night, but i did for 30 min this morning and will set the timer soon. This morning i also wiped down the kitchen and organized the cleaning closet.

I will not be 30 and live in a pit! I have a plan to build a healthy cleaning habit with 2 things to help me ground (and probably ā€œreparentā€):

  1. 15 minute nightly cleaning, on a timer.
  2. the understanding that ā€œdishes are non negotiable.ā€

Even though i am tired. Going to watch cleantok and get what i need to have done, done tonight.

Update: wound up working for 36 minutes and am still not done :sob: i hope i get up early enough and work is ok tomorrow.
