One whole week! Nicely done.

  • 115 days free from alcohol
  • 96 days free from toxic relationships
  • 6 days imperfect regular eating

Bullshit in management at work again.
Getting just aggressive.

This job is just pushing me away from mental health and away from sobriety.
I am not in current danger, but the mental status it is pushing me to is triggering my addictionS,
each for itself.

Managed to not binge in lunch breakā€¦
Ate my porridge with banana although I was craving for salty, junky shit. Made it.

Having a bit of backround thoughts about the guy i am getting to know since August. Donā€™t know which step is right next. Confused. Thoughts about not being right.

I will have a swim tonight and tomorrow :heart_eyes:
Just trying to focus on this! :swimming_woman:t2::swimming_woman:t2::swimming_woman:t2::purple_heart::two_hearts:
Yoga on Thursday and fresh haircut on Fridayā€¦ Swimming again Friday and Saturday :rofl::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::swimming_woman:t2:

Take good care and stay sober! :v:t2:
Love & hugs :black_heart::hugs::panda_face:

That is an accomplishment!!!

Checking in day 71! Off work today, just one meeting. Plan to do the gym and a little research/prep for work. I feel better after making it to the gym yesterday (had taken 3 days off for not feeling well).

Last night I had two drinking dreams. When Iā€™ve gotten sober before Iā€™ve had drinking dreams, but these are my first this time. The first dream I was about to get drinks to sit out front and drink with my partner (like we used to do) but I ended up remembering that Iā€™m sober and I declined. It was a great feeling to say no even in a dream.

In the second dream, I was at a family party and I cracked one open and took a sip, forgetting I was sober. Once I remembered, I panicked and left, and randomly met another sober person in the hallway who provided me comfort.

Both really reinforced my gratitude for and dedication to sobriety.

Happy Monday yā€™all! Letā€™s make this a great, sober week.

I had the same situation, but I was a patient at my doctors office. The assistants just run in circles and the queue was very long.

I hope itā€™s getting better and you make it sane to the end of your shift! :+1:t2:

SAD = Seasonal Affective Disorder. I rather call it my Happy Lamp :sunglasses: . I use it when I get up early and the sunā€™s not up yet. Light therapy has proven to be an effective treatment for SAD.

Congratulations on 70 days! Iā€™m at 74 today. I didnā€™t think Iā€™d make it this far! I donā€™t know if youā€™ve made it this far before but itā€™s my first time being sober this long in ten years! It feels amazing
I hope you feel better soon and were able to take the time reset and refocus.

Day 1. I drink 2-2.5 bottles of champagne about 5 or 6 days of the week. A little nervous about seizures but think Iā€™ll be ok. Wondering if anyone had a seizure or didnā€™t and how much you were drinking and how often.
