Day 850
My daughters parade was one of the best days of my life! It was cuteness overload! Butttt now I have the flu. Iām pretty sure I caught it there, canāt imagine anywhere else since I donāt go anywhere. Anyway I went to flying high to feeling very low in a matter of a few days. Hoping to catch myself before I wreck myself! @anon74766472 might have to try jumping up and down and dancing in my room! Let me know how it goes.
Iām having trouble getting through the afternoon at work. I feel like crap - headache, depressed, grumpy, anxious - and that bubbles up and overwhelms me. I start hyperventilating and crying. Panic. At least I recognize that a drink would not help any of that. I just have to idea how to get through the rest of the day until I can go to bed. I try to read or watch tv, but give up about 5 minutes in. I canāt find enjoyment in anything. I guess I just need to vent.
Went very well. Needed to slow down as I rushed directly in a hypoglycemia
But: instead of drowning my poor mood with sad music I opted for the dancing 90s which is sooooo much better
oh no! Heyyy 90s is a great idea! Music therapy for the win! putting on 90s now!
Hey sober fam!
Iām over 4months sober and grateful for a new week to start. God can be so good and help pick me up when life knocks me down.

I arrived at queens we will rock you. Not feeling like sleeping but singing in bed loud
Morning from Australia
Checking in on Day 57.
It is a beautiful warm day here with a slight breeze. Sorry to those folks with below zero temps, spring has sprung for us Aussieās. I have a day of rest on today as I start nights tonight. My first in 18 months since my first detox. I am a little worried about how I will get to sleep tomorrow morning because guess what I used to do before going to bed after nightshift? You guessed itā¦get rip snorting drunk. At least I wont be going back to work hungover and feeling horrible
Have a wonderful day my sober friends. Lots of love from me to you.

Welcome to our community @My_Saving_Grace and congratulations on 4 amazing months of sobriety! That is a fantastic achievement
@Clarity please tell me one of you listened to C+C Music Factory LOL thatās one of my go-to mood enhancing dance bands
80s and 90s are my type of tunes too!!! Nothing picks you up like a good old tune by NSYNC or TLCs Scrubs! Oh the memories
I am thinking of you Karen Just take one moment at a time today and remember you are not alone. You are doing this with a whole community behind you! Panadol and lots of fluids will help too. Much love to you
Everbody Dance Now!!!
Day 0
I lapsed again. Made it to Day 19 which is better than I have been doing. I became overwhelmed by work and an imminent house move. No excuse, just identifying the triggers. Iām not going to beat myself up about it. Itās a really tough time at the moment and I got swallowed up by all the things that could happen rather than focusing on the next step.
Iām going to go away and think about what I do next. As fundamental change is needed.
Day 11 ending and still sick with a persistent flu. Itās ok, I accepted. I am living a good momentum
Day 10. Feeling good
Congratulations on double digits!! Way to go!!
My addiction almost had me but I won this battle!! Day 12 here I come.
Days
43 no substances
173 no self harm
6 regularish eating
Whew. I left my house 15 hours ago (630am) to go to work. Took a 1.5 hr break to grab kids from school and go to the gym. Then back to work I went. I havenāt had time to eat today. I really dont want to reset my timer though so Iāll find something to eat before I shower and sleep before I get up at 4 to go to workā¦ Iām so tired. But i am not overly stressed (even though I am concerned about bills like always )
