Checking in. Helped clean stuff in my moms house. Found lots of old stuff of mine, and also stuff from my father, pictures and stuff. I dont know if maybe it triggered something in me, but I feel completly wierd in my body now. Kinda like anxiety, or maybe not, feels like something wrong with my body but maybe its just my health anxiety, or maybe something wrong is going on.
Day 50. Struggling today. Not with my sobriety, but with my depression. My sleep has been terrible, and the depression saps my energy anyway. So small tasks feel huge and life feels overwhelming. I wrote in the gratitude thread this morning about staying present, but I’m struggling with that. I just want to crawl back into bed and escape life for awhile.
Karen…i am exactly in the same boat. Im on day 20 sober…but my depression is keeping me in bed so far today. Hang in there. I totally understood what you were saying. Im gonna force myself up…and make coffee.
Take it one moment at a time. Atleast you have today off work. Only accomplish what you absolutely have to to set yourself up for a good week. Be patient with yourself but challenge those negative thoughts. Hang in there @KarenKW
@mewmcmew congrats on 2 weeks yeah get back into it, I find it so much fun, there always seems to be events on lately too @Alycia congrats on all the 3s it must be such a relief to be WFH some days and less commuting pleased for you @Nowenbrace sorry about the accident, and your truck, but glad your partner is doing okay @SoberWalker I do believe in fate, I’m sorry there was no click for you, but glad it’s given you the strength to look for a new friend from the shelter @Amy30 hoping your pain settles down soon congrats on 6 weeks @Butterflymoonwoman sorry about your friend @KarenKW sending strength congrats on 50 days
930 days no alcohol.
395 days no cocaine.
17 days no vape.
Binged again last night, and again today. Didn’t buy crisps, but the other stuff is even worse, I ate half and felt ill, so planning to throw the rest away, even though I hate waste. Feeling disgusted and ashamed. No matter how determined I am not to, it’s like a switch goes off and I’m doing it again. I know I will get there again, because I won’t stop trying, but the shame is weighing heavy on me today.
Did my meditations, walks, and played some more Pokémon.
Maybe the ‘new week, new start’ cliché can work for me.
Day 148
Finally all the symptoms from the cold are gone and I feel ready to rock the office tomorrow with my girls
The only things I really have to focus on is getting back to a sleep schedule (like a normal human being, not an owl), healthy diet (oh I was a mess!) and I had coffee again since 1 week. A lot. Not good I’ll get back on track, no worries.
Oh and I have a date next Saturday As I know myself the excitement will grow the next days so I’ll be here regularly and spam you guys with what’s going on in my head
I hope you’re having a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong
I am feeling great and I have a group of people in my corner for accountability. Everyday is a record setting day for sobriety from this point forward. So thankful.
You’d think i was a chef. Steak marinating for tmrw. Chicken marinating for dinner tonight. There was a time where i needed a drink to enjoy cooking. It was just a habit. I love cooking for me and the hubby. Plus i dont just eat crap food and passout anymore.
Omg what a day! Started out with a couple meetings online. Then i was going to clean but decided to get out into nature. I took a long walk and it felt so good! FINALLY I said my final goodbye to my ex. It feels so good to let go! Now i get to hang out with my son for the rest of the night❤
