Day 954
Made potato salad today. It is a real favourite of mine, but time-consuming to make so very rarely bother. Put bacon and onion in too, super yum.
The kids are off school from next week. Going to have to manage them to do extra revision and English (cos Iām evil 
) and also walks, helping with dinner, etc, to get them off screens. Although son is usually playing guitar to YT and daughter is dancing to TikTok, so they are kinda learning something at the same time.

Morning check in day 44 and I am dragging this morning. I had sushi late and the soy sauce messed with my sleep. I need lots of coffee.

Thank you @KellyKelly and @pinkcloud for the encouragementā¦ lying in bed last night I was thinking about how this all feels like the equivalent of trying to walk through a brick wallā¦ the universe is telling me no or not nowā¦.

Day 31. Universe is throwing some challenges at me. Work stress and fighting with my partner. Everything feels like itās crumbling. I know things will get better. I just need to focus on not drinking today and that will be enough. Grateful for this forum and wishing all of you a lovely Thursday

Day 6
One week ago after yoga class I relapsed last timeā¦ Today I wonāt!
Will have some chicken soup with mushrooms and tofu afterwards and maybe find some coconut water in the store on my way back.
I needed sooooo many naps today,
bad fatigue with phantom hangover feeling.
Anyway, maybe feeling my body will refresh me at the class todayā¦
Much love

Today has actually been a nice day. Went for a long walk, enjoyed the sunshine. Iām feeling better, physically and mentally. The changes in sobriety are pretty subtle, but definitely there!

955 days no alcohol.
420 days no cocaine.
42 days no vape.
I didnāt win against the evil voice telling me it was okay to binge āone last timeā with the Love Island Reunion episode last night. Iām not feeling very hopeful because the voice always seems stronger than my determination to succeed, no matter how strong Iām feeling. Nevertheless, the battle goes on.
The depression is heavy. I miss my old therapist. Not the one I recently ended it with, the one before, but he doesnāt do it privately so thereās no option to have sessions with him again.
My back is worse today, donāt know whatās making it hurt so much, the TENS machine I bought doesnāt help with the pain, but it is relaxing, though Prince doesnāt like that I canāt stroke him properly, as I lay on my front 
bless him.
Iāve had more energy on my walks today, my tonsils have stopped hurting, and Iām not as hot, so thatās passed. I had to wear my waterproof poncho, the type you get from theme parks, its understandable why people laugh at me, 
but it does keep me dry. I might see if anywhere in the shopping centre sells waterproof jackets. I need to go there to stock up on squash again in the next few days, so Iāll have a look.

Had a good therapy session today that reminded me I donāt need to go making a ton of changes at once. I also read up on PAWS (post-a cute withdrawal syndrome) which was good to learn about so I can be more mindful of some of these emotional rollercoasters. It makes me sad because Iām truly seeing the extensive impact of 20 years of drinking. Anyone else out there suddenly start crying at random times? 
other things I relate to are the mental confusion, forgetfulness, and short attention spans.
I also saw this on Instagram and it was a good reminder that I donāt have to fix everything in a day and I donāt have to beat myself up for resting or taking it easy.
