Day 102 for me, doing ok but still struggling to sleep more than 5 hours a night. Being tired though is easier than a week long hangover.

Very heavy rain at around lunchtime here which seems to have cleared the air a little. Iāve been concentrating on housework as things got a little out of hand with boxes and laundry and such.
Iām just at the stage now where Iām piecing together the last few weeks. The sleepless accumulated into the beginnings of psychosis and now that Iām back on track Iām seeing some of the bonkers things I was doing. Stashing paperwork, sending odd messages etc. All of this while remaining sober which tells me that if I ever blamed alcohol for causing my mental health issues I was wrong. Iām perfectly able to go nuts while sober too.
I have an appointment with a new psychiatrist in a couple of weeks and I feel full of questions to ask ahead of it.
Wednesday morning is my AlAnon meeting and Iām looking forward to it as they are a lovely bunch!

@Hoss welcome back
@TANK23 Welcome congrats on triple digits 
+
1044 days no alcohol.
509 days no cocaine.
24 days no vape.
4 days no binge-eating.
I feel less emotional today, but very fatigued. Iāve still managed my routine, meditations, and both walks, but my attempt to complete the big questionnaire form was a major nope. I will re-attempt on Friday as I have the course tomorrow and dentist and another course on Thursday.
I donāt have much interest in going to the discussion course tomorrow, for the in-the-making actual course, but I am going to make myself go, to practice being around other people and paying attention etc.

Evening check in.
Itās so hot here in Czech republic! I need some really big stormā¦ I love storms a lot. Or at least I need to go to swim in swimming pool. Well, itās only few weeks until I will drive away to Italy, heh.
Tommorow at school we have program for learning how to avoid and recover from drugs, which made school psychologist and my favourite teaher. I canāt wait! I love sharing with them my thoughts and seeing them helping to others. 
This is exactly main reason, why I want to be someday teacher or school psychologist.
Otherwise this day was fine. Just was again a bit triggered by my class because they discussed trans community and weirdly looked at meā¦ (Iām non-binary). But meteorite which gave me my boyfriend a lot helped me. I realised in one moment it smells like him! It was pretty surprise honestly. That little interesting thing from galaxy as well a lot helped me to deeply breatheā¦ I will use it from now in my meditations.
Also I think itās meteorite from Moon, it seems to be like that, but I will research. 
After school I was chilling and enjoying my time with myself. Trying to be kind to myself after yesterday. I just now realise what I did to myself isnāt fair to me, that I need to protect and be kind on myself. 
Good night Talking Sober family. I hope your day was fine.

Day 254
Today one of the people I used to buy drugs from was at my house celebrating the birth of his sonā¦kind of odd if you ask me, and he wasnāt āatā my house, just in front of itā¦since my neighborhood is kind of a hotspot for those people to hang out at. Him and about half a dozen people were out front getting high, drinking, and carrying on. It was kind of annoying to come home to thatā¦but I stayed away from them all except to say congratulations on the baby.
I am proud of how far Iāve come, but also know it would be too easy to fall back into that life. I have to stay focused and diligent.
I didnāt have any urges to use. But understand how easy it would be for me to fall back if I am not careful.
Outside of that, I had an ok day. And will be working a lot over the next few days, so might not be as active hereā¦
I hope yāall have a great night or day where you are.

@amy30 I totally get the anxiety of seeing family and then the loneliness of seeing them go. Iām glad that you focused on your sobriety first and foremost. Now you are stronger and can cut out the sugar, low impact work outs and the rest ā you will get back into healthy shape soon love ā this too is ODAAT.
@mesober congrats on getting thru the crappy initial days ā this wonāt last. Stay strong ā you can beat the urges
@ladybuggy a WHAT WHAT indeed ā congrats on your 30 days. Sorry your daughter is sick. Hope you get a chance to celebrate your accomplishment.
@1in8billion thank you so much for sharing your grounding practice.
@scorpn howās your hand doing? So true on weight not being the only number. You are doing great on working on your sobriety and now smoking as well. You can now focus more on yourself and your healthy eating habits. Love the suggestions @alexwayhill provided
@nastya_is_fighting so beautiful to learn that you are not being fair to yourself and will be protecting yourself and will be kind to yourself. This made my day! So thrilled to hear that you will also be able to leave your job which is causing you mental anguish and have financial security.
@hoss great wins my friend ā keep em coming!
@rob11 man thatās a lot going on. I do hope that you are able to find some calmness somehow to escape the intensity.
@anon53116147 how did the interview go?

Day 492
Another day almost complete. Was a good day! Some moments of feeling abit overwhelmed but nothing major. Spoke to the homecare manager this morning and mentioned all the concerns I had regarding that nurse. Also went to the pharmacy for my new med. Went to the store with my mom and then she took me out to lunch at a Korean Restaurant. I tried something new and it was really good! I feel beyond exhausted tho. Just sooo tired from all the interaction. My son got to open up some late bday presents from my mom and dad and his uncle (my brother). He enjoyed that. Now juat relaxing waiting to go to bed. Have a great day/night TS fam!

@butterflymoonwoman ah man dana ā Iām so sorry that this nurse is not working out. I do hope that they can find someone competent enough to do the job. How did the day running errands with your mom go? ā¦ just saw your post. So thrilled that you were able to talk to the healthcare manager - hope they get you someone soon. Glad your day with your mom was so great - sure you are exhausted ā hope that means you get a good nights rest.
@thewolf nice to see you back and yeah to 44 days!
@catmancam Yes celebrating in the US would be awesome cause the whole country would celebrate with you. Glad you are less emotional today and hopefully going to the discussion course will be a great experience. So excited that you are trying so many new things.
Checking in on Tuesday night (about to be Wednesday morning) ā the day just got away from me today.
181 weed and alcohol free
596 days cigarette free
It has been an interesting day and a lot of learning about myself today. I did practice a lot of self care today even with everything going on. I was able to laugh my ass off multiple times today watching comedy and just being around my brother (he totally cracks me up). Still sober and did not have any urges today so YEAH ME! Have made it 2 weeks without any gluten!
Hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful sober day/evening.
Sending much love

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Did a 100km
ride yesterday, not the greatest of ideas as I set off too late and I didnāt check the weather. Temps close to 30C/85F are not suited for exercising 
. I saw the 
which is always nice. And I was back home in time for the 
to hit town.
Today one workday, Iām free till the weekend after that. It cooled of just a little bit. Going to be a good day. X

I got the rest of the glass out and cleaned it really well, then covered it with super glue 
it feels a lot better today. Just like regular scrapes.
Today i had roughly 1000 cal and according to my tracker on my phone burned over 2000 cals. So if i keep this up i can lose some extra pounds.
Just have a headache from not enough caffeine and now Iām having a hard time getting to sleep. Haha go figure 
Iāll try again soon.
Also wanted to say hiw much i and many others here appreciate you! Youāre always so thoughtful. And thank you for finding a way to put things into words for our friend whoās going through so much. You truly are amazing

Thanks love - appreciate you snd your compassion too.
Yikes - i did see u mention super glueā¦you are the MacGyver of wounds.
Doing great today but do listen to your bodyā¦cutting down on caffeine like you did could be dangerous with the amount you were drinking. Just want you to be careful
