Evening Check in
Day 229
Feeling a bit better this evening. I took the wagon out to get groceries. Just being active helped. Helped to burn off some steam lol. I still feel very tired. But my sons temp has been normal all day. I feel like i will be able to take my meds tonight, which will also give me a good sleep. I am going to work tmrw. Need to just get back to the basics and get back on track with my recovery routine, my exercise and healthy eating, my goals and back to meditation and self care. I swear… it only takes a second for my routine to slip away. Its a lot of work for me some days to stay on top of it. But id rather work hard daily for my recovery, then to be in active addiction. Anyway, im glad to be back on here. I absolutely felt disconnected. Like something was missing in my day. And i was missing something… my lovely TS fam! Hugs everyone!

Day 55
Went to my med appointment yesterday, a TEE. Found out that stands for transesophageal echocardiogram. They knock you out and shove a probe down your throat to check your heart. I don’t know what they gave me, but it was a really nice 30 minute nap.
Anyway, everything seems to be normal, but he prescribed beta-blockers anyway which confused me because my blood pressure is normal.
Still fighting occasional craving. I don’t know why it’s been so strong lately, but I’m winning so far.
Just read about some morbidly obese man who lost a lot of weight by just taking one multivitamin a day for a year. That’s sounds dangerously irresponsible but I’m at the end of my rope with the weight that won’t come off. Anyone ever heard of this?
Binge-watching Mr. Robot. It’s the only thing, other than Sneakers that show hackers realistically. It amazes me how lazy Hollywood is about this. They hire consultants for movies all the time; why do hacker movies always look like they were written by an 8 year old? (TW for those who might be interested; there’s a drug use and mental health scenes).
Hope everybody is having a good sober weekend!

Think we’ve all been there. Taking care of is much better than being taken care of. Well done on 44.

That’s a really good idea, i do like the thought of chronicling my own peaks and valleys of getting further into the whole of my sobriety and personal growth process

2 weeks (almost) AF and heading for 4 months
. Dont even think about smoking now.Drinking, well this week was much easier than the first week. I used on line S.M.A.R.T meetings last week to help me through difficult days, sharing with others helps a lot.
Just dancing along ODAAT. Ive been on strike a few days this week and feared the worst would happen but coming on here banished all thoughts of going to the pub.
Ive started doing the daily exercise challenge on here at October fitness challenge
Ive dusted the cobwebbs from my bike and have started cycling to work everyday.
My resting heart rate is down to 60bpm now which im happy with.
Im sleeping better these days and generally feeling upbeat about the future and enjoying the ‘now’ .
Hoping you all have a good day today.

I had a rough night yesterday that led to a rough day today. I need to try to be more active on here so I remember the good that comes from sobriety when the bad stuff comes around. I didn’t drink and don’t want to drink about any of it. Sober is the only way forward.
Tomorrow is a new day and the best thing I can do is lay my tired head on my pillow. Keep at it all you wonderful, honest people. I’m in it with you.

Coffee. Had my covid vaccination yesterday, seem to experience a bit more side effects than I had with the previous ones. It’s not too bad. I’m sober and clean. That helps. One day at a time. One more late shift to go. I got this.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing would come of it. Love from my place.

Day 180
I can’t tell you how much i never imagined making it this far, never imagined a life without substances. Weed was the most powerful overarching issue I’d had for a long while (12 yrs), but I’ve left behind booze as well since i also took about a 3 year stint with the black out train, and some other stuff on the side.
It’s been a journey even just these first 6
Making peace with myself and learning not only accept & live with my actions and choices, but to let go, live in the now and live for myself and my future is better than I’d ever thought it could be. There’s so much more to gain. Struggles and conflicts? Of course. Impossible to overcome? Not anymore. And no self medication needed this time around.
So much has changed in six months, and there’s so much more to be done. Every day is still the same one day sobriety challenge, and it’s just me and my choices. I’m learning how to embrace my better self though, and so, SO thankful for this community in particular. You all are the best support
Thanks again all, and here’s to another 6 months
