Checking in on day 310! Itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve posted life has been opening new doors I never could have imagined when recovery turns into deconstructing of my CPSD . Finding a therapist and working through things to heal fully. Quitting drinking was one of the biggest steps in my journey to recovering and breaking down walls built solid by brick. When you follow your path to true self love and improvement the light that shines is bright and for the first time in my life Iā€™m feeling free! Free from fear and anxiety sadness and despair! There is work to be done still but i donā€™t have to be unsure and walk a rocky road. I can have my feet planted in the ground. One day at a time has truly saved my life! God bless sending positive energy to all!

Day 4 early morning. Yesterday was really rough and Iā€™m bracing for more of the same today. I really donā€™t know how Iā€™m going to get through work. Wondering if I should take a couple days off, but maybe work would be a good distraction. Iā€™ll see how it goes. Iā€™m just barely surviving right now.

13,547 days living in recovery.
PTSD flash backs raised itā€™s ugly head yesterday.
It has been sometime since I have had any flashbacks.(10yrs. or so)
It certainly was strange, thankfully my reaction to it did not turn into irreparable damage.
Those around me that I Love could not relate to what was happening.
It is always hard to explain what is going on in the moment, since it is a merging of the present and past and the feeling of needing to feel safe first and foremost, even though no dangers are present.
Iā€™m sure those witnessing it are bewildered by the event also. :frowning_face:
So today will be amends day to smooth out any misunderstandings. :heart:

It helped me a lot to understand, why drinking never gets better again.

@Sabrina80 Itā€™s good to hear that you get rid of blockade, even when you have to cry. :wink:

@Butterflymoonwoman Iā€™m glad you just had to do one night-shift, instead of six. :+1:t2:

@KarenKW You will get through it. :wink: You did it once and you can do it again.

@Juli1 I never heard juicy for curved before, but it sounds nice. :slightly_smiling_face:

@Wakikki Thank you for your sharing. I had those thoughts in a similar way, when I was still drinking and had already the bodily symptoms of alcoholism.

Day 267
Morning everyone! Managed to get thru the night with my son. He was pretty restless for some reason. Just tossing and turning alot. Im just getting him ready for school now and drinking some coffee. Its going to be super tough to get things done today. I refuse to have a nap thoā€¦ but my body may not agree with that lol i want to exercise once i get my boy on the bus and then im supposed to attend my Bible Group via zoom at 10. Then i wanted to go to the $ store and the bank. Probably grab more coffee :coffee: Do some cleaning and work on another xmas gift. This honestly may not happen tho. Ive been awake pretty much for over 24 hours at this point so we shall see lol will try my best to listen to my body tho too.
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
