Finally a decent night’s sleep! Who knew sleep could lift the mood so much? lol
Went for my first morning walk in a while. I’ve missed them. I’ve just felt too weak from withdrawal this week.
Our oven is broken, so I made healthy foods the best I could without cooking. I think I did pretty good.
Technology was being a bitch for me today, jeeeeeeez everything technology-related was screwing me, but I conquered! Lol
Dogs were extra hyper and barky.
Weather was beautiful.
Sleepy now and off to bed sober! WhooHoo!
Had difficult night cause 2/3 of my kiddos had nightmares after hubbys bed time story inspired by Mr Ballen podcast…
I wanted to pass my late evening jogging yesterday but I kind of forced myself and it was worth it. I stretched distance from 2,8km to 3,5km so I’m coming closer to 5 (which is my goal distance for late evening jogging).
I also overeat this weekend but stayed sober and this is important.
Day 16 back to work
We had a family birthday yesterday and i had nosecco.and alcohol free martini and it went well .no one was really interested in why i wasnt drinking, as they were doing their own thing anyway, and it just took thr pressure off
Got the day off. Feel like a doing a ride. It’s a beautiful day.
Pic is an illustration of what I need to do these days to remember where I parked my bike at the station, going to work. When I don’t sometimes I have to search for ten minutes when I come back Mine is on top, third from the right We do what it takes.
Amazing to see such a well utilised bike rack, hopeful that the UK is going that way. I have been more of a walker but seriously tempted by a bike now.
Checking in on Day 6. Slept terribly, think we ran too late as both husband and I were the same. A shame really as I enjoyed having an evening activity that wasn’t the pub! Oh well, will try adjusting by an hour.
Start of another busy week. I was very overwhelmed last week and my balance was all off. I need to get control of that as it a) isn’t very nice, and b) is a massive trigger. Having said all that, at this moment in time I am fairly relaxed. Have a lovely day all.
That is a really good system, not sure ours are guarded and there is certainly theft problems. They have just made the decision to remove most ticket offices too (think over 1000) so not sure that will help either. The UK is a strange place at the moment.
Thanks for checking in, Jasmine. Sorry I’ve gone MIA, everything is fine. Just super duper busy trying to get into a rhythm with the new gig on top of all my other stuff on top of travelling (we are covering quite a bit of ground this week).
But… it’s all good. I’m sober and four days away from the six month mark, which is quite exciting.
Oh, trust me I completely get it. They say nicotine is the worst drug to kick, but honestly I’m not so sure about that anymore. One of these days I will quit and quit for good
Welcome to the site and congratulations on your days sober!
Welcome to ‘here’ where you are now instead of back there where you were.
Lots of support and connections here.
I’m sorry you’re in pain and hope it will get better. @Nytefyre
Hey all.
About 4 hours into my exam, I get a call from Nick. He stays with his mother who is not well. She gives him the car key when she needs errands run, but rarely otherwise.
He informed me that he checked my place twice while he was out. " Someone has been in there brother."
I had to leave even though I’d intended to stay the distance…nothing of value is missing, but knowing my space has been violated isn’t comfortable. They ask you on exams “do you feel safe where you live?”. For almost 2 years I could say ‘yes’
Just a quick sign of life, doing fantastic
For 3 weeks I have all the time in the world to be lazy, eat good, shop and just enjoy life.
The best is: I don’t feel bored, no alcohol cravings
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

Disordered Eating - starting day 1 again
Checking in. And I’m going to have to check in here in the evenings. If anyone is usually awake around 10pm CDT in the US that I could reach out to when I’m craving I would appreciate you tagging yourself here. I’m struggling to apply all the principles of my alcohol recovery to my food issues. When I was newly alcohol free I was on here all the time and seemed to be able to find others to talk me off the ledge. I need help. Apparently.
but stayed sober 
and this is important.
ride. It’s a beautiful day.
Mine is on top, third from the right 
We do what it takes.
