Check in Day 17 AF

So after the bump in the start of my day yesterday, my mom called me at 6pm to tell me she just had a visitor. My ex sent someone he spent time in jail with and his girlfriend to my moms house. I was so freaking pissed. He wanted her to buy some of his things. I’m assuming that is because he is trying to make bail, and the one he has now is significantly lower than the previous one. That’s some scary shit. Just giving out addresses of my family members to random people. I’m sure they have mine now too.

Luckily I was offered to keep my grandbaby for the first time overnight. Had it not been for that, I am not sure how I would have managed. It completely helped calm me and ground me. Everything in life happens for a reason, and my HP was looking out for me on that one.

Day 7! It has been a minute since I could make it past three. Trust me, those who are new to this, it does NOT get easier. It’s been 30 years since I began intermittently to try to be sober. Only over 7ish years have I tried with any sincerity. I have seen all kinds of numbers but never 90. All the meetings all the time, all the forum all the time, all the reading all the time, all the podcasts and quit lit, all the TIME. I feel done this time but I always do. The cravings have been heavy, so heavy, but I just keep looking at my Day One pics from as long as I’ve had this phone and this stack, which is a minimal amount of the books I own AND reading my old entries here and my old journals - constantly reminding myself how long I have wanted this:

889 days no alcohol.
354 days no cocaine.
4 months no takeaways.
4 days no binge-eating.

I slept deep and heavy last night. Very awful and vivid nightmares. Didn’t wake properly til 11am. Did my morning routine. Went to my hometown to collect my meds and I got a hair cut while I was there. Went for a short walk to get a sandwich for lunch, then spent some time with my cats. A nice day.

Although his email was vague, it sounds like the therapist is agreeing to work with me, we have another meeting scheduled for the 24th to discuss what he and his clinical supervisor have decided. I wish he’d just tell me in a email rather than me paying another £55, but it is what it is.

You seem to be taking all the setbacks as they come in a good way. Not many people could handle what you have been through. Now it’s time to focus on the good and be ready to be fully ready and available for you daughter and granddaughter. My daughter is due in June and I need sobriety now more than ever. Never give up!!!

Day 107
It was a good day although I slept bad last night. I woke up 3 times and dreamed some chaotic stuff I wasn’t able to remind me of later.
Going to put a pen and a diary near my bed to write down my dreams. Who knows, maybe I dream more interesting stuff that is true when I google it?
Just had some pizza, now I give the belly time to do its job and in half an hour I’ll enjoy a hot bath :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
That’s all for today :relaxed:
I hope you’re having a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:
