I think Ronnie broke every vertebrae or slipped every disc, or both, when he was doing Mr Olympia. I only have one possible herniation so I look at Ronnie and keep moving as well. Light weight baby!
Also I think Iām a week off pain medicine, I still have about 3 weeks worth left in case something happens but it seems the worst is over. Just getting used to moving around again. For anyone in chronic pain just friendly PSA Iām about 5 years into this mess and the clouds are finally starting to part, and they can clear up if your take care of things properly (which I did not, I should have done this years ago). So just get after it and hang in there, the back-to-normal feeling is way better than any high youāre literally every going to find and itās all day every day.

Checking in
Day 417
Was feeling a little lonely tonight and thought id check in and be around all of u lovely people. Ive really been missing the recovery component of my day. Life gets busy but I can not forget that my HP and recovery come first. Bcuz when it does, i am able to have my family and my job and all of the amazing things i have in my life. Priorities, priorities. Tomorrow, me, hubby, and our son are heading to purchase a new couch! Totally feels like adulting lol im excited about that. I feel really proud of myself today for eating so well. I havent done this well in a loooong time. And what elseā¦ lol I am just grateful to be clean and i am SO grateful for all of u. I love u guys. Ur my TS family 
I dont have that recovery community anywhere else so im beyond grateful for all of u 
Hope everyone is having an addiction free day

Checking in after 37 days AF. I am looking forward to that number getting bigger. It creeps pretty slowly. But steadily.
So I mentioned there were bottles of booze left here by friends, and I noticed tonight my hubby was quietly making himself cocktails. I was wondering why the beers werenāt being drunk. Not sure why he was being a little sneaky - we havenāt talked about my not drinking. I have been on various āwagonā trips before of varying lengths. I am sure he is just being kind not being blatant. He is certainly not the problem!
Anyway, take care all!

Day 10
Im calling out today. I dont want to be in work. I got my work done. I have stayed sober, made a few explicit plans to drink and held off on doing so. I reread my day 0 post yesterday and that helped with my perspective.

Well we are all happy for you being here as well @Butterflymoonwoman . You allways have a kind word for everyone 
#Day 1661 
Early out of bed because of my āto do listā before leaving our house and the need to sit with coffee and phone as well. My day wonāt start well if I would skip my coffee in the morning routine. Just me, coffee, the news and TS and the cat ofcourse. Hope she will find the balls someday to come sit with me 
Today? One of my kids slipped his tongue so I know we are going to Belgium. I think we are going to hike in the Ardeche. We are leaving at 9 this morning.
Looking forward to my birthday trip 
Life is better sober! 
This jar is going with me, I bought it yesterday at the triftshop. Itās a ākletspotā, I do not know if you have them in your country?
Itās filled with questions you can ask to eachothers and have a good talk and fun!
Questions about life but also funny ones.
Curious where I sleep tonight!
Bye for now

Day 0. Feeling down and just acted out with PMO. I am not feeling great right now. Had a hard day emotionally and I cracked. I canāt rely on myself. I have to rely on God. I just came off of 4 month of sobriety. That was an excelent 4 months. I am trying to not fall into the spiral of shame right now. Gotta keep my peace get back up, move forward and not look back. I hope to get some sleep tonight. Call my sponsor tomorrow morning and check in with him. Gotta keep going.

Typed this last night but fell asleep during my catching-upā¦
Seems I missed a check-in yesterday. Iāve only just figured out why. I still have my bad UTI symptoms so I called my doctors again, then waited all day for the callback. My regular doctor phoned me around 15:30 and prescribed the anti-biotics that finally cleared the mega bad UTI I had for 3 months last year, all good, the pharmacy didnāt have them in stock so I went for a nap and didnāt wake up until dark. I canāt remember doing anything else after that so I must have fed my cats, taken my meds, and fallen back to sleep.
Now itās today. I had my shot and blood tests first thing, then when for a haircut, then collected my meds and came home. I was out all morning. Since then, Iāve done both walks, even though I really struggled to get myself out for my 2nd one, it took me avoiding it, then getting angry that I couldnāt do it, then the anger fueled me to get it done. Now, I have a bad migraine and feel really nauseous, but wanted to catch up here before I try to sleep.
Today, Iāve done my morning routine, caught up here, and itās soon time for my morning walk, and hopefully, a well-overdue shower
