Day 3. Dreams are crazy and intense. Feeling a little less anxious today, but tired. I have a ZOOM meeting with a counselor at 12:45…my first one. I’m a little nervous, but I know it’ll do me good.

Day 41. Sleep was horrible last night. IOP was helpful. Now I’m trying to get through 4 hours of work. It’s a major struggle. I’m glad it’s Friday. Just in survival mode. The depression is weighing on me. I’m exhausted.

@Will3 congrats on a huge achievement 
@K_smile well done on 10 days, I hope this amazing feeling inspires you to keep pushing through, sobriety gives us so much more than addiction!
@Butterflymoonwoman get well soon! There’s a stomach virus going around at my work at the moment which I really hope I don’t catch, it’s no fun being sick. Take care
@Adasher eeeep good luck on your caffeine free journey. Have you tried a soda stream? I love mine, and I feel like it really helps me curve reaching for so many sugar free caffeinated drinks. Remember to take care of yourself, early days of sobriety also feeling double crap withdrawing from caffeine, lots of self care, your triggers might sneak up on you a bit quicker so be kind to your self!

Well done on 11 days, these early days are rough, but here you are doing an amazing job.
I was just talking about the soda stream in my post above. Have you got one?
I find it really helps filling some of the gaps I used to have making myself a nice drink, in a nice glass, especially while cooking on weekends. I make myself a little soda water, splash of a nice fruit syrup or bitters, over some ice or a few bits of fresh or frozen fruit. I can still enjoy some bubbles, still sip over something in the evening or while I’m cooking without it making me feel like crap the next day!
I hope the journaling helps you clear your mind. Keep checking in

I accepted an invite to mingle after work on a Friday arvo in the city for drinks yesterday. Only non drinker in a group of about a dozen of us 
It was nice to socialise, I find I so rarely do any group socialising nowadays being so busy. I met some new work colleagues, I laughed so hard I almost cried a few times.
It felt really good. And I really didn’t need to drink. I didn’t miss it, I just experienced the moment, and that was enough.
Kicked a few small goals for myself this week, and I’m really chuffed with that.
Lots of love to you all this weekend

Day 202. I have been busy with work and working on obtaining new certifications while simultaneously working on rebalancing my life. I’m trying to find and be comfortable with new ways of doing basically everything. There’s a learning curve there. Lol All is well and no complaints though. Have a great Friday everyone!

Day 369
Didnt do much today other than some cleaning. Feeling better to an extent. Just have sore muscles and joints now. Hubby went to work today and is feeling almost back to normal. I work this weekend so hopefully im feeling completely better by tmrw. Oddly enough i had a small urge to want to use today. Very weird. But of course I didnt follow thru. Its just very strange that it came up. Maybe bcuz im sick? Idk. Anyway, hope everyone is having an addiction free day
