Day 6. I can’t remember the last time I’ve gone this long without a sip.

I’m off today. I’m starting to feel a lot of emotions creeping up on me. I think before I was so used to numbing everything. I had planned on getting a lot done today. But my gut is telling me I need to sit and feel these emotions and work through them. I have a ton of healing to do and that can’t be rushed.

Everyone have a beautiful and blessed day. :two_hearts:

Your doing amazing. Your posts remind me of my first days. A lot of emotions for sure and yes you absolutely sometimes just need to let everything else go and focus on healing and moving through those emotions. It’s a lot of up and down, but you have to just ride those waves and when the storm becomes rough, remember there is always a calm after. I’m glad your are here♥️

I can’t even imagine. I’m just glad you shared and I know for myself that no post in here will ever bring me down because if I start to read something and it’s not something I can read in that moment, I can choose to stop. I hope that you can feel comfortable sharing when you need too. You need to be able to have a safe place to let it all go.
Sending love and strength.

You never have to apologize for taking time for yourself, especially for your mental health. I just missed your smiley face and your positive posts. Thanks for checking in with us and I’m sorry things have gotten dark. You matter to us and you are missed when you aren’t here. :heart:

855 days no alcohol.
320 days no cocaine.

I was completely exhausted yesterday so layed down for a nap at 8pm and didn’t wake up until 10am! :sweat_smile: I must have really needed it.

The exhaustion has persisted despite the long sleep, so today I have rested and stayed warm with hot water bottles between my feet and on my chest, and they make a huge difference.

Tomorrow I hope for the energy and motivation to either walk or swim again :pray:t2::crossed_fingers:t2:

144 days free from alcohol
125 days free from toxic relationships
35 days imperfect regular eating

Tonight at 2 am i will start my way
to the airport! :airplane:

I am grateful to be healthy and sober.
I remember holidays where I prepared everything with a hangover and a drink…
How exhausting that was.

I will have a warm shower now and a light dinner with chicken breast and veggies.
Then I will try to sleep or nap a little bit.

I am very grateful to be able to do this holiday.
Traveling on my own, strengthen my relationship and reliability to myself… :panda_face:

Hugs and love :hugs::two_hearts:

Checking in day 100! Will officially be in the triple digit club when I go to sleep sober. Got to the gym today, have some clients for my part time job, and on call tonight. Giving myself time to rest and relax in between everything. Healthy eating is still helping my mood and energy. I’m needing the occasional reminder that I can’t (and shouldn’t) eat perfectly, so still eating the things I enjoy, just not so much that I feel like crap after.

Hope every has a terrific sober Tuesday!
