Checking in daily to maintain focus #48

If i started watching history docs today that would be me not moving until bedtime. I darnt put the tv on. The last series i watched was Lore and i really enjoyed it. Its about twisted events that happened years ago like the grave robbers and witch trials and the fella that started performing lobotomies to cure mental illness. So addictive.

#Day 1492 :seedling:
Last day of our short holiday, it was nice!
Took the day as it came, slow and easy. Read a lot in my new Stephen King book: “Fairy tale”.
At the beginning I found it a boring book, but now I like it. It is a bit like the Tower saga.
Curious how it ends.
Work is in calm waters again. Our shop safe was broke, they could not open it! So no tiles and no cash! :see_no_evil: All the people who could help had waiting lists. But at the end we found someone who could help (and no not a safecracker :sweat_smile:).
Here are some pictures @Twizzlers :upside_down_face:



Above the castle of Bentheim.

And in this little red circus wagon we slept one night. Soooo tiny!

And this picture near the door gave me the “it” feeling :scream: But thank god I slept fine.

Update: added some photo’s now I am home again.

See you later! :raising_hand_woman:

Day 202…feeling good…getting lots of positive feedback and encouragement from so many people in my world. I think they know how hard it is to go even a week…so they’re pretty stoked I’ve made this far.
It does get easier but I’ve learnt on here we can easily slip even after such a long time of sobriety.
One day, one moment :two_hearts::sunflower::white_heart:

Day 3 AF. early morning. Woke with a horrible headache. Head hurt all yesterday too. I read a few threads here and it sounds common. I just feel miserable. I’ve been trying to make sure I’m hydrated and eating at least somewhat healthy. Any tips other than that?

I really appreciate this community. I’ll probably be around a lot as I start this journey.

Not too much to offer except commiserations. And Tylenol. It should get better pretty soon. Of course I’m not sure how much you drank before quitting and for how long. Detoxing from alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous if you drank lots for a long time. I’d say if your headaches don’t subside in a couple of days (a week?) you might want to visit a medical professional if possible. Hope you feel better soon. Congrats on day 3.

Thanks! I have an appointment with my psychiatrist in Monday. She manages my anxiety and depression meds and might be able to help. Last time I quit for 2 weeks the biggest issues were headaches and anxiety. If I feel too bad tomorrow I’ll call my PCP and try to get in before the weekend. My headache is actually starting to get better, so that’s a relief!

Congratulations on your 3 days (same as mine). We could be sober buddies :wink: and keep each other on track.

Day 12
It’s 5:38 am here in Topeka. Good morning! It’s autumn, which in these parts means “it’s winter… but with more color for about 1 more week”.
Nothing to report at this early hour. Becoming increasingly worried/pissed at my stubborn weight. Thought about living on one apple a day like Christian Bale did for “The Machinist”.
And I’ll have to get back on the patch when I get paid; I’m tired of the “not breathing” nonsense. Smoking really is the hardest addiction to break. Props to all who quit on their own.

Anyway, I’m having a pretty good morning so far. I’ll check in again later. Peace! :v:
