Day 35.
Not much to say. PAWS are still kicking. The drinking and drugging nightmares have started. My brain is mush. I struggle to get things done, but I still persevere. On the bright side, Iāve yet to deal with cravings. Alchohol is the last thing on my mind atm. However, I have been indulging my sweet tooth for nowā¦ Iāll look at reducing sugar in a couple of months or so, when Iām more settled in sobriety and (hopefully!) feel more normal. Itās really frustrating. According to my bloods, Iām fine. But I donāt feel fine. So alcohol must have really affected my brain over the years.
Anywhoā¦ happy sober weekend all!

Day 140
I went to the pharmacy and bought some groceries and I feel like I did a kettlebell workout 
Ooof guys, and even a headache is beginning now. But still way better than the last days.
But I had to get outside for some fresh air and some movement.
Arenāt our bodies wonderful? All you have to do is give them food, water and sleep and they repair pretty much everything. I love mine 
Now coffee, some meds and relaxation.
Have a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong

8 months and 2 weeks on the bright side of active addiction! This is what I have learned this week ā¦I didnāt want a connection with people when I found myself in the rooms of recoveryā¦I didnāt want to need peopleā¦I have made self reliance and self sufficiency my higher powerā¦I have a disease that makes me see the world through delusional eyes! I need the eyes of other people to help me see a new realityā¦I need yāallās eyes to find a different perspective and learn a new way to liveā¦ Self reliance earned me a seat in the rooms of recovery and self reliance will take me back out to a place I never want to go again ā¦ Iām grateful this morning Iām not alone and I can be connected to people who understand me and are patient with meā¦have a great day!

Good day everyone, checking in on day 547. Cold and windy today so wonāt be doing to much. Continuing with the home improvements, have a new fridge coming in a few days, so have some modifications to make. And got talked into the fridge that you tap and it reveals whatās inside! Kind of cool, but didnāt to spend the money, but itās all going towards the house. Hope everyone is doing well and take care!

@GenG welcome 
congrats on 4 days 
I hope your meeting went well.
@HappyDays congrats on double digits
@SoberWalker love that tree photo with the sun 
sorry to hear about your customer, that is very sad 
922 days no alcohol.
387 days no cocaine.
10 days no crisps.
9 days no vape.
1 day no binge-eating.
So as Iāve been struggling with binge urges every evening, I bought some sugar-free boiled sweets from the pharmacy last time I was there, thinking I could suck one of those at a time, slowly, like I do with the Nicorette Lozengesā¦well nope, I crunched my way through all 6 packs last night. 
Wonāt buy them again, so the binge-eating counter is back on 1 day.
Today, I slept in, which was nice but I had a bad dream. Did my morning routine, and got out for my new morning walk.
Then waited in for a delivery, spent time with my cats, and meditated, it seems to chill them out as much as it does me.
Iāve just been for my afternoon lake walk, despite not needing to, to complete my PokĆ©mon mission (walk 25km in a week, 8 times), as Iād already done 26km this week, and also is was dark clouds and very dull, so Iām really proud that I still had the motivation, and that gives me hope, for continuing with it after Iāve completed the mission in a couple of weekās time. 
Now, more meditation, and TV time. Tonight is the final of The Masked Singer, so Iām looking forward to that.
I hope youāre all having wonderful sober weekends

Thank you CATMANCAM. Yes, my meeting went well.
Binge eating is rough. Iāll have to work on that after I get some more sobriety time lol. But sounds like you made a good day for yourself.

It really depends on how long youāve been sober. Each person is different, but ditching alcohol will absolutely make the sleep you do get actual sleep, not alcohol induced slumber nonsense. I have a pretty strict nighttime routine and have been enjoying sleep meditations on Insight Timer. Make sure you are watching caffeine late in the day.
