Today im taking one of the new guys to the gym so that should be fun, Iām feeling pretty good and excited. Still having little weird heart palpitations here and there so thinking of calling and getting a EKG done. Camping this weekend with my girls should be fun, second day of parenting classes went well yesterday much love everyone

Checking in because I woke up agitated way to early. Journaled and didnāt want to do a gratitude check at all. Went back to bed and woke up anxious. I have a long day of work ahead of me and I feel: angry, uncomfortable in my skin, agitated, and anxious. This is Day 9 and I just donāt physically and emotionally feel well.

Hey all. Just checking in. Feeling a little nauseous but Iām distracting myself with Operation Fortune. Iām a big fan of Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham is usually in his movies.
I thought for some reason Iād be okay if I limited myself to 3 beers a day; far less than I normally drink. But Itās almost every day. Itās taking its toll. Two people have told me that my eyes are yellow. And my feet are swollen. Iāve missed my last 3 appointment with my therapist, so hopefully Iāll make it tomorrow. Ill write more later, I just needed to get that off my chest.

The reason you thought so is youāre an addict, just like all of us. Good to see you Mark. Letās quit this madness friend.
PS. If your body reacts like that from just three beers, thereās something seriously wrong. Please get help.

Day 21. Toxic levels got pretty high in my trigger spot yesterday. Endless scroll of images, no porn, but stuff i dont need in my life. I get so tired of how my brain functions, and yet. If i stick to my daily plan, i can push through it. Staying off Youtube is everything for me. Whatās crazy about having my addiction, there are good things on the site, but if itās toxic for me, then i just have to let it go. Easier said than done.

Sorry you are so agitated and anxious today. Are you able to talk through your feelings with someone or possible attend a meeting to find human connection?
Do know that drinking will not help with these feelings - it will only make things worse and add guilt /shame to the mix.
We are here if you wanna talk about whats causing these emotions.
Stay strong- the beginning is hard but the rewards for sticking with it are amazing

Unfortunately when the drinking gets to the point that are health is starting to suffer then even a sip is too much. You deserve to live a healthy happy addiction free life. Your symptoms are alarming and need immediate attention. Please do not take this lightly and seek the help you need.
I do hope you are able to make it to therapy. You may also need medical help.
Rooting for you Mark

8.75 days without a drink or marijuana
21.65 hours without the vape
I woke up exosted and grumpy
The nicotine withdrawal is hardest in the morning
Itās kinda easy to deal with now that my wife hid the vape. She didnāt throw it away because it was expensive which is helpful incase I have a total meltdown.
I have today and tomorrow off from work which is perfect for quitting the vape.
I notice my mouth gets extremely dry when Iām withdrawing from the nicotine.
Thatās pretty much everything right now
Take care everyone

Checking in. I almost never do, but today, after a long time, I thought, just for a split second (it seemed) about having a drink. And found out something I actually knew/felt for a while. Iām scared to hell of alcohol. The mere thought of drinking made me twitch. I donāt know if itās a good thing; I donāt have cravings, when I look back at my sober time, I think I barely had any cravings, but the feeling of dread was so real. I guess we all have our reactions to whichever poison enslaved us.

Quite busy day. Not really wanted to go to gym today, but that was probably the best thing i did today. At the end of the day you know it was worth. Made food for tomorrow. Time to go to bed now

1073 days no alcohol.
538 days no cocaine.
53 days no vape.
1 day no binge-eating.
It was a success getting my cat to the grooners again, and he was in and out within a few mins, and because it was earlier in the day Iāve been able to relax and work on my job application, which Iāve now submitted. Iāve tried my best with it, and if I get an interview Iāll be pleased but terrified!
I went for my lake walk earlier than usual, because I was too restless to lay down. I finished the audiobook Iāve been listening to recently. Iām excited to start Elliot Pageās one next. I did my ten mins of colouring in the lounge, I did keep looking at the timer, but I got through it. Tomorrow I will do 12 minutes.

Well just got told I cant move in Monday because DSS isnāt giving them confirmation that they are paying. So this is a little bit discouraging and a bit of a set back. If they donāt pay idk what Iām gonna do, I just wanna worry about college and thatās it at this point. I hope they will give confirmation before Monday. Just kinda put me in the dumps a little bit
