It literally rained sand? May I ask in which country you do live? 
The craving maybe never stops, but youāll learn to handle it. Every day a little more.

Day 75ā¦. I was sad all day yesterday. My old self minus the drinking. A reminder I will always be an alcoholic. A reminder to work the steps to the highest degree to protect my recovery. Whether itās day 75 or 7500, itās just this day. One day more of sobriety.

I also kinda feel like your partner saying no to getting help is a red flag about the level at which they value the health of the relationship. Maybe if he says no again you can tell him at least showing up is the minimum that you need to feel like he cares about the health and longevity of your marriage.

Daily check in at 3 weeks. I have had a few temptations to drink in that time period but It hasnāt been too bad. I think someone said all you gotta do is not have the FIRST drink. Thatās been really helpful. Cause Iām not an everyday drinker. But once I have one Iām drinking the whole bottle of wine. And then itās days of depression and anxiety and āpost booze emoā as I call it. Itās almost like it makes my depression meds not work for a few days. I donāt ever want to experience post booze emo again and the only way to do that is to not have the FIRST drink. Cause itās never just that one.

Humbly checking in to say that I have relapsed. Trying to understand what went wrong and why I couldnāt call anyone . To be honest I didnāt expect to make it back. Iām currently on day 3 and trying to sweat out the alcohol and pills . My relapse was only a week but it took so much out of me and has really mixed me up. I didnāt really have any kind of sober social life and started keeping things to myself and I caved . Iām grateful to be alive. I have been through this before and all I can do is try again . Iām going to make a commitment to go to more in person meetings and support groups. I have everything I need currently. I have a roof, I have food and I will take things a day at a time just like before. Still not feeling 100% and focusing on taking things easy right now but I will try to keep you guys updated. Itās definitely harder to start over I can say that

Morning Check in
Day 213
Woke up completely exhausted. Just tired all around lol i drank coffee, got my son on the bus, prayed (felt very distracted and disconnected but prayed anyway) and then struggled to get to the gym. I was able to workout for a bit but chose to listen to my body when it got to the point of just being done with exercise. I am noticing that Thursdays are hard days for me to work out. Why? Not sure but i think i might adjust my routine to allow for less intense exercise.
Hubby sent me money to go and get a smoothie. Im sitting here drinking it now. I honestly dont know what i need today to feel recharged. Meditation and nature i think 
Anyway, there are soo many huge milestones being celebrated today on here!! Im really proud of everyone and glad others are returning and giving this another try. Love u guys!
