Checking in day 165! Move in went relatively smoothly yesterday. Feeling pretty down and tired today- I think just the move and transition, and the emotion of my ex’s relapse and what not. Had therapy and meeting earlier, at work now. I took off tomorrow to finish unpacking, get some more things for the house, and to just rest- my boss understood. Still nice to be able to use time off for this kind of thing instead of hangovers. Hope y’all are having a good and sober Thursday!

Happy Fridayyyy.
This week feels like it went faster working from home 2 days. How awesome :sunglasses:
We have sleepovers all weekend with the kids, we seem to have lots of kids over lately since we moved into the new house. It’s been lovely, the kids are loving it. My husband and I are a bit over it haha.
323 days, keeping strong. Life is so much sweeter without having to chase my next beer and I keep telling myself that as much as I can.

tonight will be day 352 of no self harm. TW for mentions of vomit

so about 2 weeks ago I was extremely sick and was told I had norovirus. I threw up a lot(12 times in one day to be exact) and I think I got puke in my sinuses and gave myself a sinus infection. it’s been annoying to say the least but I’ve been working through it and figured my immune system will kick it soon. I have not gotten any better and today I woke up with pink eye. I can’t go back to work until I’ve been on my antibiotic for 24 hours so I won’t be back till Monday since I don’t work weekends.

I missed a couple days when I had norovirus and that was only 2 weeks ago, I’m missing two days this week, and then next week I have an exam for a teaching certificate that I already took the day off for.

nobody has said anything to me about all my time off but I’m getting really anxious about it. this job has just saved me in so many ways and I’m so worried that I’m going to mess it up. I know I’m being irrational I’m just trying to keep busy. also the side effects of my antibiotic can increase your heart rate which I think is part of the anxiety I’m feeling.

I feel mostly okay aside from my eye feeling weird and being tired. I’m going to hang out with a friend to take my mind off things soon

something positive: this time off gives me a chance to catch up on my lesson plans I am pretty behind

Oh dear. I was going to mention last night that most of those symptoms are usually norovirus and easy to transmit. Clean hands, utensils, towels, etc. I know you know this. Hugs for quick healing and that your son does not get it. I am sorry and will say prayers.

Noroviruses go around and so does pink eye. Everyone is susceptible to getting it and they all know that. Rest and take care of yourself. Study for your exam too and good luck on that!
Editing to add BIG HUGE CONGRATS on your 352 days!! Be so proud of that and please come in on your one year! We want to celebrate YOU!

45.6 days AF thanks to all you wonderful people, and what the heck, I thought, let me also quit the Diet Coke now. I’ve been a 6 pack a day Diet Coke drinker for most of my adult life. I’m doing perfectly well on my alcohol quitting, Diet Coke should be easy peasy!!!

Nope. Ouch. Bahahahah The headaches. The thoughts. Good lord I’d rather kickbox a three legged man. I’d rather crawl across a mile of crushed coral, and then take a warm salt water bath. I’d sooner kiss my best friends mom then go through this. Why I’d rather my dentist perform open heart surgery on me than to suffer these ‘wants’.

But wait. It seems like addiction is addiction. Lots of it (not all, and not for everyone) is in the mind.

And in my mind, I got this one too. So good bye Diet Coke and all your caffeine. :wave: I don’t need you anymore.

(PS- if anyone has stock in Coca-Cola, I’d advise you to dump it today, cuz once this hits the public, their stock will drop!!) :wink:
