Day 33 no alcohol
Day 12 no weed or cigarettes
Still feeling strong in my recovery although mentally a bit shakey I know I donāt want to use any substances to numb myself this time. Trying to keep myself distracted. Did a bunch of laundry and organizing my clothes, was able to put together a nice collection for donation and have a few items to give to my sisters as well which I think theyāll like. Took the pup out for a nice walk. Made a nice breakfast and lunch for myself. Doing what I can do instead of focusing on what I canāt do seems to help a lot. Hope everyone else is having a good weekend so far. Peace & love to all.

Honestly, just taking it one day at a time. Checking in here. Keeping myself busy. I have had dreams and urges to SH many many times. But I tell myself to wait ā¦and if i still feel like doing it after (insert task) then fineā¦ And i try to use that time doing something that makes me happy. Mostly hanging out with my kids
And also, congratulations on a month SH free!! Iām proud of you!

Good evening yall. Just trying to keep to my positive habits as my stumbles are usually proceeded by a withdrawal from positive influences. At work despite feeling terrible with a sinus infection but Iām getting through it. Hope everyone has a pretty good day.

Day 11
A quick check in from me. Itās been a busy day travelling up to the city where I grew up. Spending some time with my parents, leaving my boy with them (which I feel guilty about even though they love to see him and spend time with him and he loves spending time with them) and then being out tonight for my friendās birthday.
We were meant to do an activity that got cancelled at the last minute so we ended up doing an escape room which was fun and having a meal.
It was strange being back in the city, lots of mixed emotions. It always reminds me of my brotherās disappearance, seeing places that remind me of him. Places that remind me of friends who have moved away.
The day out was good along with the escape room. The meal and drinks after made me want to have a drink even though I havenāt drank in 3 years. I realised it was just tiredness and the location I was in. I used to drink heavily when I worked in the city. So it was almost muscle memory if that makes any sense?
Anyway on my way home now, looking forward to some sleep and then a day spent with my boy.
I hope you all have a great sober day.

@Butterflymoonwoman Happy birthday!
Doing some things for yourself lf sounds great!
@Juli1 It is impossible to know what was in his head. Maybe he enjoyed a bit of flirting, but when things got a little intimate he realised he didnāt want that? Maybe he just has a flirty personality and it didnāt mean anything to him? Who knows? However, the point is what do you want? What do you think you have learned about yourself?
@MooseTracks Congratulations on 90

Evening of day 9. Not feeling well, but still managed to have a decent day. My head hasnāt been too bad after getting rid of this mornings migraine. But anxiety is bad. Was able to volunteer for 2 hours this morning. Then my friend came over to watch football. We had fun hanging out. Surprisingly no cravings today.

Day 54!
Made a plan to head to my old city for a solstice retreat in a few weeks.
Feeling a little nervous because there will be alcohol at the cabin we are staying at but also feeling pretty good because this is a group of friends that doesnāt drink heavily, just a few and they donāt get out of control. Still playing it safe and told them all I am sober before hand so I not only have support but so I have accountability. They are all really proud of me and supportive.
They even offered not to have alcohol at all and as much as I love them for that I am the only one in charge of my sobriety. I have three more weeks to get some more sober time under my belt and Iām confident I will do great

Today started early i woke up at 4. I was told by my partner that I was screaming and fighting in my sleep. I donāt remember a nightmare, but I woke up and my jaw hurt from clenching itā¦ I worked and then went to the store and headed home To spend time with the kids. Got 5 kids in the house, so i am happy.
I tried to not have any caffeine when i got home, because I tend to have too much, but i caved about a half hour ago and had a cup of espresso. 
Im looking forward to my pillow tonight

Checking in on day 7.
Tonight my hubby and I go to a xmas party with friends. Usually we would have been pre-drinking by nowā¦ā¦ Waiting to go out at 7 is a long haul! Iām in the bath catching up on here, and ready for bed already. 
Oh well, it will be an early night. Already looking forward to waking up hangover free tomorrow, and enjoying my Sunday.
