Day 78. Another bad headache most of the day. I think I’m going to need to see a doctor about this. I still managed to get out for a walk. Goal is 30 minute walk, 5 days a week. It’s just hard to make myself go these days because it makes the headache worse. But still feeling good about my sobriety. No real cravings.

I used. Yesterday and today. Im confident i wont use for the week but scared bc i used last weekend too. My life was just consistently miserable either way so i wanted to not be in that mindset. Theres just a lot. I wish i had died eleven years ago. Idk. I hope i dont become incoherent again but nothing will ever feel good again so like …why try. Idk. Im sorry.

My friend, these words sound similar to mine when I was getting ready to bottom out. I’m grateful I bounced. These words you posted sound serious. You can get help. You are worthy of that help. I went to rehab. You can bounce too.

Checking in toward the end of Day 26 AF.
Much better mood today. Got to hike in the mountains with my gal pals. A beautiful day outside in nature can cure just about any negativity.
Take care all!

Back to work after a peaceful weekend with no hangovers or shame.

I don’t have to move out of my apartment so that’s quite a relief, and I am gratefull for this.

My life is getting a little better every day as long as I stay away from the booze.

Have nice day!

Yet anothet hot and humid day and it’s meant to be the first month of Autumn :hot_face:
Feeling tired and irritated. Have an arvo tea & playdate organised at a friends house after school and it’s the last thing I feel like doing. Pffft the joys of having an extrovert child and setting a personal goal of stop being such a face-to-face loner :laughing: but I guess if that’s the worst happening in my day, I shouldn’t really complain. But I will anyway :sweat_smile:

day 389 of no self harm

took my parents to go see John wick 4. was some nice family time and the movie was awesome.

Friday night I felt really bad, started looking for online games to play to meet people. met a group of friends, been playing with them and it helps with my lonelinesss.

tomorrow is 3 weeks with a job. honestly I feel broken. I’ve been calling the only nearby daycare and they never answer or return my voicemails. i don’t want to just show up because I know how crazy busy things get and there’s no guarantee they can set time aside to talk. I just need a job. I’ve accomplished nothing. I haven’t driven, I haven’t cleaned my room. nothing

@Cjp @Butterflymoonwoman thank you :hugs:! It feels so unreal I made it this far, last time I had been sober for so long was roughly 25 years ago! And life - even with its current struggles - feels so much better now :ok_hand:t3:.

And thanks for all your help and encouragement, for caring for one another, it feels unbelievably good to be part of this virtual family :hugs:.

If there is no other way to contact the daycare, I would recommend to show up in person, perhaps right now is the best time to apply, as they seem to be desperately lacking personnel.
And although it will take effort and energy, I would ask you to do some housework and run your errands. This way you spend your time in a positive manner, can be proud of yourself as you did things good for you and it is generally easier to concentrate on important things when unnecessary distractions like a messy kitchen are resolved. Good luck!

From your current perspective - the bottom of the well -, everything seems hopeless. Only after you start climbing and get closer to the edge of the well, you will start seeing more of the sun and sky, and things will start clearing up, everything will become brighter and better. Start to climb, step by step. Seek help for your support especially now in the beginning of the journey. We are here for you, just reach out to us.
