Checking in on day 51! 50 sober sleeps complete, and here’s to many more to come 
Day off today- have a quick chat with a client in a bit, then going to get to the gym and do some laundry.
My partner (still actively drinking in a problematic way) got blood work done and it looks not so good. It’s tough because I feel for him, but also still know I need to (and want to) end things because our lifestyles do not align, and I’ve been trying to help him get sober for a few years- I finally accept I cannot do that and cannot live this way. It makes it hard for me to be as supportive for him as I want right now. Just a little vent.
Overall feeling pretty decent today

I noticed that you didn’t share your days concerning toxic relationships or eating today. Has anything changed with those numbers?

Morning Check In
Day 254
Morning TS fam. Today I get to pick up my old med again. Honestly im SO looking forward to it. I am definitly feeling weird, not sleeping well, headaches, strange dreams, and im tired. Glad i am able to get on meds today.
Today, I am feeling really good about being able to make my 1st payment to a person who gave me alot of money back in the day. It feels really good actually to be able to start making financial amends to others.
Basically my day consists of getting my son ready for school, a workout, grocery shopping, xmas shopping, heading to the pharmacy, and cleaning. Pretty productive day overall. Just how i like it 
Tonight we are ordering out. Will be trying a new donair pizza place. I hope its good! Im excited for it
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

I can relate to that feeling and its awful to feel 
ive had bad experiences with bosses in the past were their actions werent appropriate. Im getting a sense from what u posted, that ur boss had a huge part to play in how ur feeling? Please correct me if im wrong. Its important to remember that how ur feeling, doesnt dictate who you are. They are feelings for sure and those feelings are apart of us, BUT our feelings are not always accurate and its important that we dont take that label on and put ourselves down. For example… You are not dirty even tho u feel that way. If that makes sense.
Idk what happened but i am so glad ur still sober. I do see that u dont have ur other usual numbers up but no matter what happened be gentle with urself and give urself that love and sense of security that it sounds like u need. Im here if u ever need to chat.

Just didn’t notice, as I was a bit in hurry and there is nothing new about these topics today.
Thanks for taking care and noticing Kevin!
Thanks for noticing it as well Dana 
Everything okay with these counters…
Thanks for your warming words.
Gentleness, love and sense of security is what I need. Will have a nap

I read once that you don’t really ever stop being an addict. You just replace bad addictions with something that’s good for you and you’re an addict for that. I don’t know if that’s actually true or not but I would probably explain my crochet compulsion

Day 61 AF. This seems to be getting harder and not easier like I would have anticipated. It was REEEAAAALLY touch and go yesterday.
Had a few hours where I disassociated. I haven’t done that in YEARS. (For me it’s kinda like viewing your day and actions from outside your body. Like you know you’re talking to people and grocery shopping or whatever but you can’t connect to that action or feeling. So it almost feels like someone told you a story about them doing these things and you’re just imagining it.) anyhow it’s bizarre and I did some grounding exercises and just rode it out. Knowing what was going on was majorly helpful.
We’re staying with my family while we deal with the rv catastrophe. This place is FILLED with booze. Top to bottom. In every nook and cranny and there was DEFINITELY a part of my braid that said “just take a swig out of that bottle. You need to calm down. Your stress flip is switched so hard you are literally out of your mind right now. No one will know.” And I stood at the basement fridge for a few minutes.
Ultimately I did what I always do. “I’ll go cook dinner and eat some candy and if I still think having a drink is the bast idea for me when I’m done with all that I’ll just have one. No sneaking it. And what do you know. Cooked dinner. Mindfully ate 3 suckers . Ate with my family and did not in fact actually want to drink when all that was done.

Hang in there! Take it one hour at a time if you need to. That’s what I had to do the first week or 2. I know right now it seems close to impossible to make it any longer. But it is! And I promise you it does get easier!
You can do this!! You’ve got a huge team of people all over the world believing in you and praying for you!
