Day 4

Hey all. Had a good day. Mostly because I spent most of it in bed. Insight Timer knock me out as usual, but again I woke up after only a couple of hours. Guess I’ll have to start taking my Seroquel again and just deal with the hangover. But it was a cold overcast morning and I had no appointments for the day so I just nodded off again on the loveseat. Still can’t shake this inexplicable feeling of irritability. Things are going great, and I’m still taking my Buspar but I still feel like I want to scream. :scream:
Anyway, I get to see Brian tomorrow so that’s something to look forward to. Everyone have a good sober Friday! :v:

Day 390
Day has been… idk… hard i guess. Mind is very preoccupied with the situation that happened at my sons school. Had some using thoughts today (strength maybe a 4/10 which is honestly quite higher than the usual craving). I just kept at distractions and let the thought go. Im feeling like a need a “break” from life. But how to do that, i dont know. How do “normies” take breaks? Lol am doing self care now and definitely need some sleep. Hugs TS fam

Good evening all, checking in for the day. Today is day 36 for me and I’ve been out of my treatment program for one full day now. I was super nervous and scared coming out but it was not as bad as I made it seem. I did have a couple moments where I ran into some triggers but quickly cleared my head and took my mind off of it. I love that I can come to this group and see everyone’s stories and it help me through the day. Hope everyone has had a blessed day!

The weather did NOT cooperate today. But my boys flew in and very successfully surprised my husband for his 60th. Thought a heart attack was about to happen! So, weather be damned. It was a great day. Made a yummy dinner without a cocktail and that made the day even better. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Day 12 AF
Bit of a mental struggle today.
One thing that I absolutely treasure about my sobriety is the opportunity to get out at night and drive around to do some photography. Last night I sat at a windswept beach for an an hour and just took the time to appreciate life and grab a few snaps.

#Day 1635 :walking_woman:
Looking forward to this day the whole week! Going to visit an old town up north called Zutphen. It 1,5 hour by train from where I live.
Going with a friend who I know for 30 years. She knows everything from me, the good and the bad. It’s good to have a friend like that.


Had goldsmith class yesterday and wrestling with making a silver ring. Difficult but fun!
I think I never had the guts to try this if I was still drinking…
Have a good saturday TS people! :raising_hand_woman:

Thank you. Just now I see your grounding info meme has 4 months! Now I get it! Why you asked 4 or 5!
Oct 10 equals 5 ! :wink:
That’s a great grounding info meme. We all should do it every day. At least. Big hugs.

Lazy weekend and that’s all I could ask for.

Lol, this is what I think sometimes. Doesn’t everyone want to check out occasionally? I think they either do in a ‘mild’ way (social media, a nap, etc) or they just sit with their feelings! Crazy, huh?
