Checking in day 124! Worked late and was on call last night, so feeling tired today. Going to do some relaxing, get to the gym, and then back to work tonight. Nothing thrilling, but I’m finding more joy in the mundane lately. Have a great sober Friday and kickoff to the sober weekend all!

I always wonder about this. Because most of it is always on my left side. And why now, so many many years later. And what is trauma, I mean I dont feel I have trauma !? Or do I, and just dint know what it actually is. I dont know. Its just, I dont want to feel this way anymore, I dont want the constant pain, always being tensed, stressed inside, overthinking and scared of whats wrong with me Im going to die…

Im just so wierd put togheheter I guess .

And Thank you, I am so proud of how far I have come! :heart:

It might help me feel better, but right now I don’t think it would help me actually be better, if you know what I mean. I’ll reach out if I need to! Thanks :slight_smile:

:high_brightness: Morning Check In :high_brightness:
Day 327 substance free
Day 5 binge free
Good morning TS fam! Hope u all are doing well. Day has been really good! Up at 515am to workout. Did abs and cardio. Was able to put like 5 km down on my virtual Conqueror Challenge.
Then this morning i heard a song that reminded me of a friend that overdosed years back. She wouldve been 40 years old if she hadnt passed. My brain heard this song and i was desperately trying to figure out where i heard it from. It was bothering me until I realized that it reminded me of my old friend Heather. I went on her facebook and just looked at her photos. Alot of emption came up. Sadness over her passing, anger at addiction, gratitude for being where i am today. I prayed and thanked my HP for saving me :pray: I was thinking today that next week is my 11 months clean. Just lots of thoughts going thru my mind this morning. I feel relief and joy and freedom right now tho. Beyond grateful to be alive and healthy and free from the grips of addiction. Wishing every one of you an addiction free day

@Wakikki yes, trauma that isn’t dealt with, ie; in therapy, can show up in the mind and body in all kinds of ways. I suffer like this myself too but I’m finally doing therapy to hopefully start to heal. I hope you can find something that helps you too :blue_heart:

879 days no alcohol.
344 days no cocaine.

TW: talk about food, sugar, bingeing, eating.

Made myself enter into some kind of sugar-coma with all the cereal and fruit I consumed. Had such weird and vivd dreams, woke up delusional through the night and sent a strange msg to my friend, had all kinds of weird tabs open on my phone too but no recollection of any of it. Reminded me of how I felt before I was diagnosed diabetic just over a year ago.

Was properly awoken when my groceries arrived 30mins earlier than my time slot, had to direct the driver and he got here with my help. Checked all the nutritional info on yoghurts, and turns out I can’t have any of them in future either, not only did I binge them, but even the ‘light’ ones are full of sugar. Happy to learn these things, even if sometimes it is the hard way, bcuz yeah, it made me feel ill again. I am powerless over sugar.

Anyway, lunch was nice and it gave me enough energy to walk around the lakes without feeling light-headed or faint. Enjoyed the walk, it was twilight and eery in a nice way.

It is now time to decide between my 2 options for dinner. I think I will check the sugar content of the ready meal and if it is high I won’t have that one today nor order it again. The other option I know to be okay.

Checking in on another long day at work.
I’ve been at work for 6 hours and have only had 6 shots of espresso. That gives me just 2 more if i am to make my goal for the day.
Only 4 more hours at work to go. Then it’s off to the grocery store for dinner stuffs, and then cooking and getting kids ready for bed.
:relaxed:
I hope everyone is having a good day today :two_hearts:
