Day 19 here. Also away on business this week, going to one of my favourite cities and site of many a memorable dinner, and in later years when the drinking got worse, many a dinner I cannot remember, too. Sad really. Going to focus on making this a trip that I ACTUALLY remember.

Day 170
Work was okay. Not good but not bad either.
Public transportation is on strike again, this time for 2 days. I still have one option I can use but if the shit hits the fan they’ll strike next monday too. Then no train, no bus, no airplane, no highway will be usable. I don’t know if they’ll really do that. If yes I can’t go to work bc I have no car. We’ll see and wait.
I had a good chat with my coworker who also struggles with hormonal rollercoasters because she’s trying to get pregnant. She exactly knows how I felt the last week, this felt so good!
I downloaded a diary for pms / pmdd that should help getting a diagnosis. But I need a gynecologist who knows and treats pmdd. It’s still a pretty much unknown diagnosis here.
I had yummy food and relax on the couch now. I think at 9pm I’ll have a shower and then hop in my bed.
No cravings today
Got enough healthy stuff to make my own ginger shots. But I’m lazy now Maybe I’ll make them tomorrow
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

Day 3
4th sober evening

My lifeguard training was very cool
The trainers pushed us and I was just best with a girl that is 16 (I am 39).

Already passed the test for:

• Swimmimg fully completed in 9.47
  instead of 15 min
• Diving:
  made the 25 meters
  3 x 3.7 meters deep diving and bringing back a 5 kg weight
• 3 jumps from the 3 meter tower

Next time we need to learn towing and rescue handles.

Now I just inhaled 2 naked (no bun)
Angus beef burgers

In Germany we say “ohne Mampf kein Kampf”
Like no food, no power! It’s a silly rhyme.

That’s it for today!
Satisfied, tired, no craving!

Love

The visit to the cemetery went okay. My niece is apparently very emotional atm. She’s very clever for her age, and the oldest in her school year, so she’s more than ready for school now but it’s not til September. She cheered up by the time we got to my dad’s bless her.

My dad wasn’t doing good at all yesterday, I experienced what appeared to be addiction, staring gnarlingly in the face, it was ugly and frightening. But after a phone call with him just now, he sounded much more with-it. Yesterday he was completely off his head on a concoction of pain meds and sounded like he’d had a load of alcohol (he hadn’t). He was acting very odd, and when we were alone he said he is in so much pain during the night when the meds wear off, that he considers shooting himself. He has spoken to the doctor today, and had some different meds prescribed, so I’m hoping he takes them as per his prescription and that they help his pain. More than anything, I just hope he will be free from the pain ASAP.

I needed to decompress after the visit yesterday, so when I got home I shut my curtains and layed down at 16:15, and didn’t wake until 20:15, so I fed the cats and took my evening meds I was gutted I’d missed my walk. But nvm. Then I slept again until 4am, then again from 5:30-9:30am this morning. Socialising really does exhaust me.

I’ve done my walks and meditations, and now I’ve caught up here, so I’m allowed to watch a show now

Day 72. Still feeling sick to my stomach and developed a bad headache this afternoon. Not sure what’s going on. Work was pretty good. I was able to be fairly productive until the headache hit. I’ve been reading about Dharma Recovery and might try one of their meetings. I still need to call my insurance company back to see what they’ll accept. I have a sort of case manager with them that follows my after care. AA just isn’t a good fit for me.

[Englishd]

Legally speaking I don’t believe your insurance company can force you into any type of treatment.

[Lisa07]

Woo hoo! Congratulations on 400 days @Butterflymoonwoman!!
