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 wonā€™t 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. :roll_eyes:

Checking in day 169! Work all day today. Feeling pretty tired, and my anxiety is high for some reason I canā€™t 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 canā€™t enjoy it. Just some things im considering.

I hope you all have a mangificent sober Monday! :sparkles:

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 Iā€™ve gotten sober and thatā€™s 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.

@zzz safe journey home :slightly_smiling_face:
@Bones_80 congrats on 90 days :tada:
@HillbillyChris congrats on 18 months :tada: I really can relate to the anxiety of dental work, itā€™s never nice, but once itā€™s over, it will be a relief, thatā€™s what I try to focus on, so good luck with it :crossed_fingers:t2::four_leaf_clover:

924 days no alcohol.
389 days no cocaine.
12 days no crisps.
11 days no vape.
3 days no binge-eating.

Iā€™ve been awake since midnight, couldnā€™t 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 Iā€™ve been anxiously waiting in for a delivery that was supposed to be arriving between 1 and 4pmā€¦it didnā€™t arrive, it still hasnā€™t.

I went for my afternoon walk. It has calmed me down somewhat. Still waiting for the delivery, its from Amazon and it now says ā€˜still arriving today by 9pmā€™. Which means I canā€™t shower until it has been, also, the show Iā€™m 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, Iā€™m going to put my afternoon meditation on to calm myself some more. Iā€™ve been having lots of vape cravings today for the first time since quitting this time around, but I havenā€™t given in.

In the evenings, I am still struggling with binge urges, but when I think about crisps, I donā€™t want them, which is a major shift, but still, the urges to binge are very present and unpleasant. Iā€™m hoping they will diminish soon.
