Checking in day 2 (for the billionth time)
I went to my primary care doctor today for bloodwork. I have been dragging my feet on it. I actually made the appointment to see if he would give me a prescription for the pill that makes you sick if you drink - but decided (before I went) that I am going to try to do this to practice being strong. I admitted to him my alcoholism. It was embarrassing. Shameful. He was clear that I āneed to not drink for my kidsāā¦ 
. It was good to feel the weight of his disappointment though I am a little tired of disappointing everyone.
I hope this is my last day 2 check-in.
I love you all so much

Day 79. Dealing with back and neck pain thatās triggering daily migraines. Itās getting really hard to deal with. I have an appt with a chiropractor Wednesday morning. Iām hoping that helps. Iām just back to bare survival mode. But not going to drink.

Dude, f*ck your doctor. That is the last thing your doctor should say. Itās condescending, rude and cruel.he should be ashamed of himself.

So true at the beginning, life was shit, days were long, everything was boring, nobody really cares what I do anyway, everyone is a twat, work sucks and TBH we only live once so why not enjoy it???
Trouble is we stopped enjoying it or else we wouldnāt end up in a place like this trying to stop. Life and people are shit bc thatās the aura with give out, when we think negative and act negative we get it back 3 fold or 10 fold when we really get into the whole self pity thing. Everything is boring bc we donāt know what else to do with ourselves. Yep why bother?
It was hard but this is my life nowā¦ I wake up wondering what I can fill in the day bc TBH itās not long enough anymore, I think what can I do for the people around me to make their days better, I go out more, work still sucks but nowhere near as much. I donāt want to die, I now have long term goals as long as I stick to 1 short term goalā¦ All we canāt do is pick up, use, drink, watch porn, over eat, self harm just 1 day at a time.

Woke up depressed. Did everything I usually do anyway, despite the voice trying to make everything feel impossible. Had to have a nap in the afternoon, woke up thinking Iād missed a whole day again, and I was still very tired, so the afternoon walk was the hardest, but I did it anyway. Maybe tomorrow will be better, I know this will pass, especially with glimmers of Spring showing through the dark clouds of doom.

Checking in again this evening, just had a big salad and rotisserie chicken I picked up this morning, hit the spot. I make my coffee the night before & set it so itās done when I wake up; I think thatās one of my favorite things about being free of alcohol is how delicious my coffee smells and tastes, I love to sip it in bed and ease into my day. Hope everyone has a good evening.

Day 19Ā½
Wow, it is so easy to get behind on this thread. I had about 80 unread posts since my last visit. I really need to check in more often.
Having a pretty good night; I love the way the earth smells right after it rains (thereās a word for that fragrance: āpetrichorā. Good to know, right? 
The air also āsmells coldā. Funny how the sense of smell can bring about emotions. Anyway, heard from my friend in prison, Theresa. Going to see her this Saturday so Iām happy about that. Otherwise, been a boring day. Had my appointment with Brian; heās a great guy but heās hard to have a deep serious conversation with. Now that I have Medicaid, priority one is finding a therapist.
Staying busy mostly with Internet but avoiding social media per se (except here of course). Binge watched season 1 of The Boys. If youāve never heard of it, it answers the question āwhat would happen if superheroes were assholes?ā Currently binging Reacher. And of course, I had to catch the season 2 premier of Yellowjackets. Awesome!
Thatās it in a nutshell. Have a great sober evening/morning.

Checking in with 27 days AF.
Yes, I am proud of that number. Gotta pass through it to get past it, right?
But looking back, March has dragged like no other month. I saw a thread started recently about a 100 day āclubā. I thought, that would put me just about exactly at my momās 95th birthday celebration dinner. Kinda cool! But, then it overwhelmed me. I couldnāt see that far ahead without thinking, no way in hell! I just gotta keep that ODAAT mentality. Kinda sucks not yet having hope enough to plan ahead. But hey! Tonight, Iām good.
Take care all!
