Have as good a day as you can all. Sober and clean. Love.


Pic is Prague last April when I visited there with @Tomek (hope you’re good friend). I’m up for a little trip in April again. Not sure where or what yet. Berlin might be an idea :thinking:

Day 134 :mask::sneezing_face::face_with_spiral_eyes:
I think I slept 10 hours straight. The coughing got worse but finally not stuck and dry any more. The temperature is somewhere around 37,5 what’s 1 degree above my normal. I feel awful but still: I’m sober and beating this fucker out of my system way better as if I’d be drinking.
Oh and I also got my period last night, Jackpot.
I won’t do anything today except laying around, being a little moody and cough with a hot water bottle on my belly :+1:
Meh.
Tomorrow I’ll call my Doctor. My coworkers already know that I won’t be at work tomorrow.
Carnival is next Thursday, I want to go there :broken_heart::pleading_face::sob:
We’ll see.
Have a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:

Day 29

This morning I woke up with a throbbing headache and it’s only just starting to subside. I’ve been seriously neglecting work and just about finishing up things within minutes of the deadline. My shrink dropped the dose for my adhd meds and I’m feeling it, not in a good way. Add PAWS to that and my head is a cloudy ball of mush.

However, at this point I’ve been meditating every single morning for over 2 weeks, successfully implemented changes in both my morning and evening routines. I drink hot lemon water (no, I still don’t understand the point of it lol) when I wake up, then meditate for 10 minutes. In the evenings, I drink chamomile tea with honey, moisturise and give me hands a nightly massage (I have carpal tunnel, my poor hands need lots of TLC). I’m also about half-way through with the Annie Grace book and I’m starting to really get into it, even if I’m not the biggest fan of her writing style.

On Friday, I good my blood test results back and turns out my liver is in perfect health, so there’s that.

Anyway, have a lovely clean and sober Sunday all!

Day 36. Serious mental health struggles again. It’s like 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Had a horrible day yesterday but at least I didn’t drink. Wasn’t really even that tempted. I just don’t even know where to begin.

I really hope that your little slip, no reset policy won’t turn into a series of exceptions to a not drinking rule.
No offense, just my concern.

I desperately wanted to drink yesterday and I was on day 84. It has been incredibly stressful at home and my husband and I had plans to go to a comedy club. They have a two drink minimum so I had told myself I could have two drinks. I talked it out with my husband in the car on the drive there and I felt better.
At the club we ended up drinking several giant mock tails and two giant plates of nachos. Lol. On the way home, we were joking about how the people around us probably thought we were giant lushes and were appalled at how many chips we ate. It was funny.
If I had drank alcohol, I wouldn’t be awake right now. I am about to go hiking and feel so thankful for my sobriety.

Your Hun is wrong. All this does is give you permission to do it again. Be honest with yourself and reset.
