Day 38! I woke up this morning slowly bracing myself for a pounding headache as I got out of bed. Then I opened my eyes and realized no headache because I’m NOT HUNGOVER! Crazy what we all get used to when we’re drinking.

Checking in with 16 days. I have been in a whirlwind as my business has been picking up. I’ve been working with my sponsor in SA and will be doing my step 1 presentation to the group at our meeting in 9 days. It feels good to have a definite date coming up for that.
Haven’t been as active here as I was over the winter but you are all on my mind. Take care and stay present friends. It’s your life and the universe is the classroom. We are learning

Day 84. Woke up early with a fucking migraine. While pain eventually got somewhat better, my mood never recovered. Depressed and tired of everything. It’s a beautiful day out but I can’t enjoy it. Losing patience with my bf. I just want to be alone. Life feels like a constant battle lately. Even when something good happens, it’s quickly fallowed by more crap.

Day 182
I passed the 6 month mark 
Feels good to be back 
That’s all for today, I’m a little headache-ish and my mood is not the best. I hope it clears up again. I don’t want to feel like I did last month.
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

Day 
Not so nice Check-in…
So my Girlfriends Ex called about hour ago, very drunk, yelling something to her about how hes gonna beat me up and so on, because about few months ago I said to her 14 years old son to take care of his room, wash dog sh*t and p**s because he plays video games while his room is full of poops… I yelled to him, I am not your father, but I will not wash your room full of poops, while I washed all around house, because he’s, to lazy to walk his dog. I said not to leave house after school and be good, but he runned away to play with friends. So we talked and took away his smartphone and pc for a day. He then started to act better and we gave all back. Now he mostly stays at his father.
So today he called all drunk yelling, telling how hes gonna beat me up because I took away his sons phone.
Feeling a bit lost and confused… We locked doors from inside and talked to call police if he comes. Actually being stabbed almost to death by a drunk in past, I try to avoid conflicts and situations like this. Also I have almost disabled half of my right hand. Had few surgeries few years ago and since then I dont know if I am really capable to defend myself properly. I do not like a feeling that I can be attacked by any moment.
I think I will call him tomorrow and will try to give a polite talk.

Took the day off and spent some quality time with my husband. Not much to say today, just that I’m sober.

@anon74766472 wow, I’d have been overwhelmed too! It looks like a good car though, enjoy the rest of your trip, or I hope the rest of your journey was safe and somewhat enjoyable. 
@Catmama23 glad you are safe 
I find meditations so calming congrats on 40 days
@Sabrina80 congrats on 6 months
964 days no alcohol.
429 days no cocaine.
51 days no vape.
10 days no binge-eating.
Woke early, did some meditations and my morning walk. Then spent 5.5hrs at the cinema, watching Creed 3 and John Wick 4, both were really good, and I enjoyed it. I ate popcorn, which has played on my disordered mind regarding my binge-eating counter, but since eating is something I do have no choice but to moderate, and eating popcorn at the cinema is quite a “normal” behaviour, I don’t think I need to reset. I was tired when I got home so I had a nap, then did some more meditations. I had no energy, and was still in pain from sitting for longer than I can usually tolerate, (the seats are comfortable in the cinema, but I kept getting numbness and pins and needles in my hands and arms). I usually only sit for an hour maximum per day at home, and I haven’t even done that for a few weeks now as I’m suffering with my back still, so I didn’t do my afternoon walk.
I hope you’re all having wonderful sober weekends.

It’s been a while since I’ve checked in. I was seeing the boyfriend again. After a week of that I started to question everything about it. I started to see that it was interfering with my recovery.
I realized he was trying to control me in some way. And I was doing the same. But when I started to ask questions he answered me with questions And brought it back to my flaws Between that and a dream i had i knew it was time to let go for good. I felt a huge weight lift off my body.
This was a HUGE step for me so I’m proud of myself!

32 days AF. I made it to my happy place in time to watch our adopted San Diego State basketball team win a thriller. Much easier and shorter drive today thank goodness. We drove to be IN the snow @Dazercat! Though I can say #fucksnowifnotskiing 
(I love it best in the summer)
Take care all!
