Sounds like a perfect Saturday!! @liminal.rehab
@KellyKelly congratulations on your 1 year! You and @Alycia are almost Aussie sober twins 
Checking in on another sober day! Saturday and first day of the school holidays, the kids and I had big plans but we all woke around 9am and felt lazy so postponed everything to tomorrow lol. We hung out at home instead playing soccer and watching movies. Finished the day with a yummy dinner they helped to prepare. It was a nice change to spend an unrushed low key day together, muchly needed! Oh and the school colour run was amazing fun yesterday, will definitely put my hand up to volunteer again next year

Checking in day 40. Last night we had a tornado threat and I was a mess. Since we were impacted by a tornado in early 2020 (right before the pandemic 
) I have not been able to handle extreme weather well, compounded by some worsening anxiety since I got sober. BUT I did a panic meditation and it helped a lot. I couldnāt sleep I til 1:30am so today I am tired. I will have to learn to cope better because this will continue happening, especially this and next month.
I just want to say I love this thread so much and reading about all of your journeys!
This morning I found a Cosmo article that was interesting, a listicle of 55 celebrities who are sober. Good reading with coffee. Happy Saturday all!

Iām currently in PT and she is using dry needling on my pectoral and lateral muscles for my right shoulder. And I get a monthly massage. Iām glad we have good therapy for this stuff. It works well.

Dry needling I just looked it up and when Iām in pain that is exactly what I imagine getting right to the point.
Itās seems that all the muscles around the trigger point for me all need relaxing before can even get to the actual problem.
I have found exercise is really helping, also IV learnt from exercising my left shoulder where I get the pain behind the blade, is weak and Iām trying to strengthen it up.
I also feel at the front of my chest near the collarbone may actually be where the cause is as it get releif like itās referred pain also.
When I went to physical therapy the lady didnāt take me seriously. Maybe I should try again. But itās not too bad atm
Hope your therapyās help

Day 38! I woke up this morning slowly bracing myself for a pounding headache as I got out of bed. Then I opened my eyes and realized no headache because Iām NOT HUNGOVER! Crazy what we all get used to when weāre drinking.

Checking in with 16 days. I have been in a whirlwind as my business has been picking up. Iāve been working with my sponsor in SA and will be doing my step 1 presentation to the group at our meeting in 9 days. It feels good to have a definite date coming up for that.
Havenāt been as active here as I was over the winter but you are all on my mind. Take care and stay present friends. Itās your life and the universe is the classroom. We are learning

Day 84. Woke up early with a fucking migraine. While pain eventually got somewhat better, my mood never recovered. Depressed and tired of everything. Itās a beautiful day out but I canāt enjoy it. Losing patience with my bf. I just want to be alone. Life feels like a constant battle lately. Even when something good happens, itās quickly fallowed by more crap.

Day 
Not so nice Check-inā¦
So my Girlfriends Ex called about hour ago, very drunk, yelling something to her about how hes gonna beat me up and so on, because about few months ago I said to her 14 years old son to take care of his room, wash dog sh*t and p**s because he plays video games while his room is full of poopsā¦ I yelled to him, I am not your father, but I will not wash your room full of poops, while I washed all around house, because heās, to lazy to walk his dog. I said not to leave house after school and be good, but he runned away to play with friends. So we talked and took away his smartphone and pc for a day. He then started to act better and we gave all back. Now he mostly stays at his father.
So today he called all drunk yelling, telling how hes gonna beat me up because I took away his sons phone.
Feeling a bit lost and confusedā¦ We locked doors from inside and talked to call police if he comes. Actually being stabbed almost to death by a drunk in past, I try to avoid conflicts and situations like this. Also I have almost disabled half of my right hand. Had few surgeries few years ago and since then I dont know if I am really capable to defend myself properly. I do not like a feeling that I can be attacked by any moment.
I think I will call him tomorrow and will try to give a polite talk.
