Checking in after nearly no sleep tonight. Really hating it. And today I am really tired, like physically. Had a day at work with only concentrating. And when I went home by bike I could barely keep my eyes open. Now I have to resist laying down too long. I will attend the yoga class in an hour. I have to. I cannot be in bed too early.
Thought a bit about cravings. What helped me: sit with your feelings. Feelings wonāt kill you. And while I think it is good to distract myself from an immediate urge instead of taking the short cut and go down the old paths I know already for so long, I think if I will always do this I will bereave myself to go further and heal, to discover the root cause.
Well, here I am on day 23 of no caffeine and I want to sleep.

Checking in day 169! Work all day today. Feeling pretty tired, and my anxiety is high for some reason I canāt pinpoint. Im thinking of reworking my schedule and potentially dropping my on call job (I love it, but a full time, part time, and on call job is starting to feel like too much). I hate to pass on the money but what good is it if I canāt enjoy it. Just some things im considering.
I hope you all have a mangificent sober Monday!

Good afternoon everyone. Checking in on day 549 AKA 18 months!! Grateful for every damn day. Woke up this morning with a swollen face, and believe I have a infection in my jaw. I have always had bad teeth and been very ashamed of them. Most of my front teeth were knocked out while overseas and poorly replaced. I never took pride in them and while drinking surely never took care of them. Tomorrow I have to face probably my biggest fear since Iāve gotten sober and thatās the damn dentist as silly as it sounds. My last experience was not a pleasant one at all and never intended to glass back, but am being told it can spread to the brain so may need to get it checked. I ish me luck, already pacing and still have 24 hours.

@HillbillyChris congrats on 18 months I really can relate to the anxiety of dental work, itās never nice, but once itās over, it will be a relief, thatās what I try to focus on, so good luck with it 
924 days no alcohol.
389 days no cocaine.
12 days no crisps.
11 days no vape.
3 days no binge-eating.
Iāve been awake since midnight, couldnāt get back to sleep, it happens sometimes, but not as often since my meds were increased.
I paid my electricity bill, therapy payment for tomorrows session, and watered all of my plants.
I did my morning walk early, then Iāve been anxiously waiting in for a delivery that was supposed to be arriving between 1 and 4pmā¦it didnāt arrive, it still hasnāt.
I went for my afternoon walk. It has calmed me down somewhat. Still waiting for the delivery, its from Amazon and it now says āstill arriving today by 9pmā. Which means I canāt shower until it has been, also, the show Iām watching starts at 9pm so I was planning to shower around 8/8:30pm. Maybe it will arrive soon, and the anxiety will dissipate, and I can shower and relax.
Even though the delivery is coming at an unspecified time, Iām going to put my afternoon meditation on to calm myself some more. Iāve been having lots of vape cravings today for the first time since quitting this time around, but I havenāt given in.
In the evenings, I am still struggling with binge urges, but when I think about crisps, I donāt want them, which is a major shift, but still, the urges to binge are very present and unpleasant. Iām hoping they will diminish soon.
