Checking in daily to maintain focus #56

Early checkin,

462 days weed and alcohol free
5 days 5 hours vape free

So my strategy to sleep thru the cravings backfired. My 2- 2hr naps yesterday have me up awake at 3am. An hour later im doing laundry and drinking coffee. Cravings are still haunting me. I read it gets better after 2 weeks. Ill have 1 week tuesday…holding on for dear life

#Day 1783 :walking_woman:
Glad I escaped out of the migaine funk.
Some days where better then others but had a severe headache for almost 6 days!
I think there is a correlation with the weather and the low pressure. Happy to feel so much better today, like I lost weight in my head :blush:
Today? Made a long walk and loved to be outside :green_heart:


Have a great sunday all and thank you for being there for me when I needed it! :heavy_heart_exclamation:

I think I mentioned to you I get barometric migraines too, they are awful. I always tell my husband when there is stormy weather on the way, the pain starts in advance as the pressure lowers.

I’m glad you’re not suffering now :heart:

Day 74, I’m up, beds made and idk trying to figure out what to do. Probably going to try and fix my shower because it leaves a puddle on the floor when I’m done showering, it’s a easy fix I just need some weatherstripping tape or something. Other than that it’s a good morning, I’m excited starting tomorrow I’ll be typing these messages out on my keyboard. Be prepared from some long check-ins :joy:jk I’ll try to keep it simple. Also looking forward to other meeting tomorrow, yesterday’s meeting went well and I got a phone list this time. I’m probably gonna reach out and say hello to a couple today. Much love everyone.

Yes I remember you did! I was wondering about it at that time. I had it this way before in a bad weather period. And maybe more often but didn’t made the connection.
Do you have tips? Supplements ore other stuff beside medication that helps you?
I tried magnesium, q10, vitamin B’s, Feverfew, etc.

@anon53116147 Sounds like a great day Mike – glad you got to hang out with your friends. 20 mile bike ride sounds lovely and tiring (LOL). You should call the cc company right away to cancel card if you do not want to keep or feel it could be detrimental to your recovery. It may affect your credit score but not by that much and not for that long – main thing is for you to stay safe and not have that stress on your mind. I’m hoping its an easy enough process since you just ordered the card and have not used yet. Aaah love thatyou’ll be able to have your keyboard shortly – made using the TS site so much easier for me.
@efountains So very happy for your 11 month milestone. You are doing amazingly well – do keep up the hard work and keep working odaat

Oh man – that is hard (not being able to sleep through the cravings) – glad that you were able to find ways to keep yourself busy. You are doing so well CJ – keep strong – it does get easier. I am so very proud at how well you are doing!

Happy Sunday my sober companions …
Been a super late start for me today and i am just not feeling so present. I do know that this too shall pass - just need to work my way through it. I missed the chance to talk to my sister this morning cause i was exhausted and now she is visiting down the street so i am trying to muster up the energy to go visit. I really just want to go to sleep - it is a overcast day with on/ off rain and perfect to be under the covers :rofl:
All good - i will work on the creating positive energy around me. Hope everyone has a wonderful addiction free Sunday - sending much love :heart: :heart:

I wish I did have some tips for you, but the only thing to add to your list is plenty of water and fresh air. I only discovered that the ‘bad weather’ migraines had a name about two years ago. My mum used to suffer badly from them too. There must be some reason why weather effects some people more than others.

I’d never heard of feverfew, I’ll give that a try. Sorry I don’t have any tips for you :see_no_evil: x

:sunny: Morning Check In :sunny:
Day 539
Had the longest using dream ever last night. I couldnt break free from it :frowning: The scenerio kept replaying over n over and it was very disturbing. Im always so grateful when I wake up and I’m clean and sober. But my day started out in a bit of a funk.

Today i am working. Its been a quiet day. I finished all my paperwork that was required of me, so if im able to I will attend an online Sunday sermon. I always enjoy the message. I did do my prayer on my way to work tho.

This week I really want to get my butt in gear. I feel like I say this every weekend lol How I have plans to get this n that done and how I plan to exercise and eat better. Then I seem to fall short as the week goes on. I just want to have ONE good week where I’m energized and am able to accomplish what I want to accomplish for myself and my family. We will give it another go this week.

Nothing much else to report right now. Hope everyone is having a good day/evening so far! :butterfly:
