Good morning all, hope you’re having a great day. Mine got started early. I was woke up by dehydration around 2am. All day yesterday, my eyeballs were itching and my lips were cracked, the usual symptoms. But I woke up this morning so thirsty it was painful. Like trying to swallow sand. I’ve been drinking water since Friday afternoon (several quarts a day), plus they gave me fluids in the hospital.
I really am Dry In 785!
So, I got some done on my To-do list, like cleaning the fridge and went back to bed. Woke up every half hour with the same thirst. Gave up and started my day around 6:30. Anyone ever have dehydration like that?
My job counselor is going to my old job around 12 to talk to them. Keep fingers crossed! Oh, and I got jury duty. Anyone know how to get out of it without faking my own death?

Hey mark! Have u ever tried Pedialyte or Hydralyte? They help to rehydrate faster than water 
not sure the price tho around ur area but its available at any grocery store. Great job on getting things done off ur to do list! Fingers crossed over here too about ur old job! Have a great day my friend

Thank you! Great suggestion on the Pedialyte. I usually drink Gatorade or Powerade, but you may be on to something. In fact, I’m about to run errands right now, I’ll check it out. Have a great day!

Hi Karen, i see you have been going theough a rough time emotionally and here is a hug 
I promise you these feelings do go away, we have trained our brains to believe it needs alcohol or substances to survive like it needs food and water to survive.
But we know it doesnt need alcohol to survive so the brain gets confused but with each craving we overcome we are rewiring the brain and making it stronger and it will stop thinking it needs alcohol to survive.
Our brains take a little while to balance back out and for the alcohol to leave our bodies and this leaves us feeling really rough.
Also lots of us grieve the alcohol we cant have in the early days like a loss.
I can say we know mostly how your feeling, there are others here going through this with you so you arent alone. Stick with it, really take one day at a time and before you know it your be stacking up those days and feeling better in no time.
Keep reaching out here too
Your doing so well on your 3 days

Morning Check In
Day 275
Morning!! Hope everyone is doing well today! I just got on the train to go to work. Had to really hustle today. My sons bus was late today so i literally had to run to the coffee shop for coffee (cuz u know… i needed it this morning lol) and run to the train. I barely made it! On a plus note, i may attempt running again at the gym. My stamina is not as bad as i thought lol. Off to work for a 3 hour shift and then home to clean and pick my son from the bus. Hope everyone has a great day!

I recently started using this journal and it is amazing. It takes you through some steps on how to hold yourself with compassion and love the difficult parts that come up. I suggest it for sure.

Day 11
Decided to workout more starting today
Actually I did 40 pushups and a bunch of curls with 30lbs
It’s a very light workout but this is just the start and I already feel comfortable in my skin.
Nicotine does not help out my health like at all so that’s on my mind
Easy does it
But baby steps can climb mountains
