922 days clean and sober today. Itās been so cold (for me) in the mountains lately that I havenāt been hiking in the places I like to lol. But itās supposed to get a lot warmer Thursday, Friday and Monday so Iām going to take advantage of it and get out there during this fluke of a weather change. Today is my Friday and Iām really looking forward to getting out on the mountains again, I love it soooooo much. I hope everyone has an amazing day today. I am super proud of everyone here and I love you all very much!

Day 879
Going to get surgery on my nose today. Iāve always been a mouth breather. (Luckily you guys havenāt had to experience that side of me) Amyway I went to the ENT doctor and he said my septum is all the way touching the other side. My mom pointed out how I got jumped in the 8th grade and kicked in the face. I had forgotten all about that (thanks mom)ā¦ or maybe it was from all the years of drug abuse! Butā¦ This will be life changing to breathe through my nose!! Sober life improvements 
have a great day all!

Mine was like that, broke my nose 3x in my hardcore drinking years. Got the septoplasty in 2016.
100% worth it, sleep was specifically much better. Recovery was a snap.
Good luck!

Stil small walks so 5 km it is. But trying to do such shorter walks more often. It is less painfull so the therapeut says it will heal eventually.

Morning Check In
Day 311
So my son started getting ill last night. Temperature increase, runny nose etc. Thankfully he has his flu shot so hopefully this will be mild. Literally 2 days back at school and he gets sick (at least thats where i think he caught it from). That respiratory flu has been going around tho.
So basically today will be looking after my boy. Hubby is home today due to the cold weather so ill try and sneak a workout in later also. Not much else today 
Hope everyone has an addiction free day

Checking in Day 3 AF
Staying
Sober

@KarenKW i struggle with anxiety as well. Several years ago it was full blown panic attacks, but not as severe now. The drs tried several antidepressants, but they always made me feel like an emotionless zombie, so I never stuck with them. I donāt know if you are currently prescribed anything, but I did find that Benedryl helps me more than anything they ever gave me. It makes a lot of people really sleepy, but when I feel high anxiety I take one, and it seems to mellow me out to almost normal.
Just wanted to edit this a bit. I know people on antidepressants and they work great for them. It just wasnāt for me.

863 days no alcohol.
328 days no cocaine.
A day of high anxiety, both of my cats were at the groomers, they are fine and I am okay, but getting each of them into their carriers is traumatic for all of us, every time I say never again, but then they eventually need to go because they donāt let me do things myself yet they behave perfectly with the lady who blasts them with aromatherapy! We are all home and Wolfie has eaten, waiting for Prince to feel safe enough to venture through to the kitchen for his dinner, if I put it down, Wolfie would eat it.
I have reached out to a potential new private therapist. Nervous but also hopeful.
