Day 8, super form yesterday. My anxiety is under control and I have no desire to drink. I have some mechanisms and they are effective so far.
Iāve been thinking about how I coped on my last attempt and this time feels more robust. The weather in my part of the world is terrible at the minute itās keeping me indoors and I think I need to make more of an effort to exercise, endorphins are very helpful for me. This weekend I will be more active and quell the overthinking using my TTools.Have a greyfay all, hereās to another 24.

This is a great point.
Every single time Iāve relapsed (and there have been so many I definitely have enough data points to prove correlation) has come after Ive stopped interacting and being active in my sobriety.
I go X amount of time sober > convince myself cI wasnt that bad > get lazy with being active > becoming an alcoholic again within a week
Every. Damn. Time.
Thank you for the reminder today how important it is to stay active and open in my sobriety

Starting day three without drinking. I feel much less anxious but the low grade headaches have started. Experience tells me I get to enjoy these for at least a week.

#Day 1779 
Day 4 of massive migraine 
Worked for a few houres yesterday, but could not finish the whole day. Felt sorry for my co worker who has to run the shop all by herself.
Feeling a bit better than yesterday, havenāt taken a pill yet.
Just came here to vent about how misery I feel 
Writing it down takes the edge off. Have the day off today so thatās a good thing.

Day 40:)
Tired as work is busy.
Happy with day 40 tho. My partner is a bit annoyed with me as Iām work focussed in the morning (i am paid to start at 8) whereas she is self employed and has more flexibility

Need to get out walking again, not been for a week. I really struggle with the motivation even though I know it feels good afterwards. I have been trying to stop drinking for over 10 years at least. 165 days is the longest ever for me but since rehab, I feel I have more tools. Last night I just kept playing the tape forward. Just stay strong and one day at a time.

Hi all, have reached day 11. Eating way tooo much, but proud as there have been a couple of occasions I could have drank this week and I didnāt. Teenage daughter making rum cocktails in the kitchen for her friends was a big one last night, didnāt reach out and pour a glass, just said no thanks. Head beginning to suggest one drink would be fine, but pushing back hard as itās not. Hearing back from someone would really help me to keep strong today. Thank you community

Sorry to hear you feel so poorly, four day migraine must be really bringing you down. Do take something for it, otherwise you wonāt be able to enjoy your day off. I hope it works, and that you feel better soon

Thank you, the downside of taking my migaine medication is that it makes me slow and sleepy.
But will take some Advil and maybe that will take the edge off

Sorry to hear about the migraine. Mine seem to be increasing recently thanks to my new ālife stageā 
I also avoid the migraine tablets as hate the spaced out feeling they give me.
Hope you feel better soon.

Iām here, Iām alive and Iām sober.
Day 22.
We had a blast at the Pirate Theme park. I didnāt want to go homeā¦
Weāre going to try and get tickets for Halloween at said theme park. But Iām not sure I will be able to afford the tickets before they run out. But hopefully I will.
I cancelled our cruise to Finland with the hope of making it to Daftƶ/Daftƶland for Halloween.
There was also and amazing Shopping mall just at the Norwegian border we visited for the first time.
The toy store was amazing and had a lot of Captain Sabertooth merchandise that we usually canāt find in Sweden.
There was also a wonderful jewelry store where I was able to buy earrings for my 10 y/o that wasnāt girl earrings, hypo allergic and in gold. He was so happy.
And it was filled with small odd stores just like the malls here used to be.
I also found a lot gluten and dairy free groceries in the grocery stores, and bought a lot of exciting Norwegian food to take home,that I havenāt tried before.
Weāre definitely going back.
For some reason I volunteered to babysit my brothers kids today again. And I got a makeover by my 2 y/o niece. So now Iām walking around with a crochet table cloth on my head for the rest of the day I guess
