Day 79. Dealing with back and neck pain thatā€™s triggering daily migraines. Itā€™s getting really hard to deal with. I have an appt with a chiropractor Wednesday morning. Iā€™m hoping that helps. Iā€™m 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. Itā€™s 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 wouldnā€™t end up in a place like this trying to stop. Life and people are shit bc thatā€™s 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 donā€™t 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 itā€™s 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 donā€™t want to die, I now have long term goals as long as I stick to 1 short term goalā€¦ All we canā€™t do is pick up, use, drink, watch porn, over eat, self harm just 1 day at a time.

959 days no alcohol.
424 days no cocaine.
46 days no vape.
5 days no binge-eating.

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 Iā€™d 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 itā€™s done when I wake up; I think thatā€™s 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 (thereā€™s a word for that fragrance: ā€œpetrichorā€. Good to know, right? :face_with_monocle: The air also ā€œsmells 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 Iā€™m happy about that. Otherwise, been a boring day. Had my appointment with Brian; heā€™s a great guy but heā€™s 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 youā€™ve never heard of it, it answers the question ā€œwhat would happen if superheroes were assholes?ā€ Currently binging Reacher. And of course, I had to catch the season 2 premier of Yellowjackets. Awesome!
Thatā€™s it in a nutshell. Have a great sober evening/morning. :v:

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 ā€œclubā€. I thought, that would put me just about exactly at my momā€™s 95th birthday celebration dinner. Kinda cool! But, then it overwhelmed me. I couldnā€™t 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, Iā€™m good.
Take care all!
