49 days. My emotions are all over the place. Extreme anger, then intense sadness, anxiety wonāt stop. Jeez. I was never this way drinkingā¦ I would just be numb. How do I deal with all these feelings?

Got to feel them. I use to let them out here and it always helped sharing my feelings on this thread. And tomorrow you got 50 days. Thatās HUGE! Letās just get through today. Feel what you got to feel today. Tomorrow your going to feel pretty proud of yourself and you will have a good day.

Day 234
So my son and I had to go out and run some errands. Im feeling physically okay other than having no voice. Wow is it ever difficult to communicate with others. To be honest, not having a voice the past few days has really made me become a much gentler and kinder person. I know that sounds strange but I cant be rude or impatient with others bcuz it doesnt come across that way when im whispering lol My son says he misses my voice. Hes been trying to help me āfind itā bcuz I told him I lost my voice. Its cute. But, not having a voice made me realize that by being super quiet when talking to him (even when hes upset), it actually calms him down easier and faster and makes him sort of listen better bcuz he has to really listen to what im saying since my voice is non existent. Interesting to see. As much as I miss talking, Ive actually learned alot by not having my voice. Ive even caught myself doing sign language to say thank you etc and using other ways to communicate like my phone to type what i need in. Anyway, hope everyone is having a good day!

Day 656
Started some meds for stabilizing the effect of my PTSS. Didnāt want them at first, but they noticed I can be good at one appointment and the next not so good. It is a low dose which should take the edges off and improve sleep. But still exactly where I need to be, worst day sober is better than best day in addiction. Finished biggest part of my home office, still some details to do. ADHD treatment stops since my symptoms are related to the trauma.
Received an update on my reintegration at work. One if the directors takes it on him, didnāt met him a lot but itās a great guy. That he takes it on him makes me feel heard and taken seriously. Start next week with two times two hours.

20 days sober. Officially the longest Iāve gone in 20 years of drinking. Was feeling great until I caught some sinus infection. Oh well, still feel better now than I did most mornings while drinking. Onward and upward one day at a time. God bless yāall, couldnāt have made it this far without this place.

Day 128. Got offered a job in my hometown, Iām really tempted to take it so I can be back with my girls. Although im doing well my two counselors donāt think itās a good idea, they think I should stay longer and continue building myself. They say the job will still be there and my girls will like me better this way. Iām very lost about what to do, the choice is mine but listening to my heart on this one is hard. Much love
