Day 58
I feel a little better today, in 20 minutes I have to get out for my first physical therapy appointment :+1:
Why am I nervous? :grimacing: Maybe because I know that those appointments always hurt and I have a headache after. But I also know that it has to be done.
I woke up without pain in my back and only a slight pain in my upper back, no headache :star_struck: Big win already. The meds work.
Ok, I’m munching some oatmeal with banana now and then I have to go.
See you later sober friends :kissing_heart:

Best of luck

Day 4. Woke up feeling awful. Nightmares again last night so don’t feel rested. Bad headache. Dehydrated. I thought I was drinking enough water but need to do better. I did survive last evening without completely breaking down thanks to everyone’s support here. I just really hope this headache gets better before I have to start work. And I hope work is quiet. At least I got through the weekend sober. I’ll try to feel proud of that.

Try to get some electrolytes and drink a ton of water before bed. It used to help me the first time i got sober. The nightmares will pass too. See it as your mind waking up from the drunken stupor we kept it in!
You got this! We got this! Im on day one :relieved:

Day 899 clean and sober. I have been taking melatonin for the last few days and it’s starting to help regulate my sleep a lot! I still wake up a few times a night but my mind when I sleep isn’t chaotic as much, like I feel that my brain is getting rest :rofl: Have an amazing day everyone, love you guys :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Awwww I just saw this!!! I must say that you give so much to everyone here Dana that I bet your cup IS really empty right now. I can’t remember a day that you weren’t lifting someone else up or loving people here, you’re always such an inspiration and support to everyone! I hope that you were able to recharge and be filled up again for your own happiness and joy and are feeling better soon. Love you! :hugs::sunglasses::metal:t2:

The appointment wasn’t that bad as I thought. I really have to stop this negative thinking, means I often think the worst is going to happen. Spoiler: often, no, in 99% of all cases it doesn’t happen and I go crazy for nothing. I know this is going to be hard. Overcoming fear is hard. The only way is through, right? Do or don’t, there is nothing inbetween. Now meds and later stuffed peppers because I went there to finally find the root cause for my neck problems.
I hope you’re having a good sober day friends, stay strong :heart:

Day 17

Back to work let’s hope today is a great one. My co-worker can be a trigger for me sometimes :disappointed:

On the bright side, I woke up to a note from my love saying “I’m proud of you” so glad he feels that way.
