@Sunny11 That is tough. Sending strength to your family.
@SadMemeQueen In order to avoid pain, you will certainly have to reduce greasy and junk food. Can you try some food that is similar to safe foods but that is gentler to the gall bladder?
@Sabrina 80 Congratulations 
@Warriormama I hear you. Iāve been there. What extra can you do to quit? I couldnāt do it by myself.

Iāve been trying to eat my few healthier options, itās just so hard for me to even try the same food but different brand. and Iām so exhausted I donāt see myself trying anything even a little different.

Frustrating day. Lots of stupid stuff. Just one of those days. But I at least have this.

@SadMemeQueen Gallstones suck are you getting any support for your eating disorder? As it seems like some of your symptoms could be caused by starvation/malnutrition. I waited 2.5 years for my surgery, they dont like to do surgery unless its inflamed/infected, which would show in your blood results if it was. Removal also hasnāt changed my pain much, the surgery doesnāt guarantee to change the pain. There are medications such as pain relief, and anti-spasmodic meds, and dietary changes that can help while you wait, so please reach out for more support to help you with your ED.
@Dmcg1987 congrats on double digits

982 days no alcohol.
447 days no cocaine.
69 days no vape.
Typed this last night, but fell asleep around 9:30pm and woke up an hour ago so Iāve just finished my taggingā¦
I only managed to sleep for 45mins last night, but Iāve had so much energy today! I went to the shopping centre to buy a card and wrapping paper for my Auntieās birthday, itās on Saturday but Iām going for a meal with her on Friday, her candle arrived today too. While I was in the shopping centre I bought my birthday outfit, just under 3 months to wait to wear it and Iām hoping to fit into it by then, I can put it on now but it doesnāt look nice and I wouldnāt go outside in it.
Unfortunately binged crisps (chips) earlier, no sugary stuff, even though Iām craving it now Iām not going to give in and harm myself. Can now add that I didnāt give in.
Pleased to have had a full nightās sleep.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from the park.
Back home, back to reality. First time in some years I went to a dental hygienist or periodontist or whatsthename in English. Got some serious periodontitis. Not really a big surprise after 50+ years of neglecting my teeth. Needing some serious treatment on it. Since I no longer spend my money on booze and drugs and smokes I can afford it so thatās good. Iām off to brush my teeth now. X

Day 19. In 2020 I made it to 17 days and drank. Prior to that, it had been years since Iād had that much sobriety. And obviously this is the longest Iāve been sober since. Iām so grateful to be going to bed clear-headed tonight. Itās such a a great feeling and Iām proud of myself.

Converstation with the co worker yesterday was difficult but it went really well. I was proud of myself afterwards and got a compliment from my manager, that was nice 
Today? Off from work. Going to relax in a triftshop 
Do some housechores and tonight a movie in the cinema (Evil dead rise).
Hope I can sleep tonight 
Have a good sober/clean day today! We did so yesterday, so we can do another!

Day 4
Try chewing mastic gum. It is natural product from pistachio tree rasin. I actually started to chew it for my gastritis and it can heal sores and kill bad bacteria. It has antibacterial properties and I had read that it is very healthy for mouth hygiene too and have many other health benefits 
Problem is it is hard to find. I found only one shop in my city.

Day 509
Feeling a bit like white noise today.
Do I need someone to listen? No
I will find my answers in my solitude.
In my iron paradise, making gains and losses.
116 days to get in peak physical shape. European Open here I come.
Consultants said I should never fight again after my airway collapsing last year. However they also said Iād never get back to full capacity as far as my lungs and respiratory system goes as well.
4 days ago I went for a final check and my lung and respiratory capacity was 114% of what it was before it had collapsed so the doctors were wrong.
Now itās time to get back to living my life my way, I am a fighter, itās not what I do itās who I am. Time to win the WKF European Championships then move onto the World Championships.
Only I know what I am capable of and I havenāt reached my peak yet. Many more mountains to climb and failures to endure. I may lose but I will never quit.
Be strong, find your inner strength, it will help you through the bad days!
Love and strength to you all!

Wow
So I woked up at truck and just watched that cloud flying, got such a great meditative time I just canāt do not post about it. In this times when everyone is hurrying up, itās just so great to just stop for a moment.
Maybe as I mentioned before, that is a lot what I really liked about drinking in nature. It gived me that emediate STOP and I then just liked to watch nature and do not think about anythingā¦

58 days alcohol free. Congrats everyone on sobriety one day at a time. Today Iām going to a morning meeting and then hopefully fitting in a walk sometime. Still working on putting up boundaries at work but the situation is still generally toxic and hopeless. Need to keep looking and believing that this wonāt be forever.
I had a moment yesterday where my addict voice decided to pipe up and tell me all these lies about drinking. I can do it, it can be a secret, just one more time wonāt matter, etc. this is why building a foundation is important. I thought of all the changes Iām making and all the blocks Iāve built so far and I knew I didnāt want to throw that all away. The feeling passed in a coupe hours. A reminder that itās always there, after a while of feeling like āI got thisā. Stay vigilant friends and prioritize your health and sanity. Sending wishes for peace and minimal pain
