Day 478 AF
Oh how I wish for summer to end!
In the meantime, trying to keep mind busy and looking to rest more.
By watching a tv show I had some minor cravings, ugh! Had not happen in so long!
Have a great day everyone! :hugs:

Checking in sober, day 16.
I still have another hour or so of work but itā€™s a major struggle. I canā€™t wait to see my doctor Friday to see what adjustments we can make. I feel like Iā€™m in a constant battle with my brain. Itā€™s exhausting and frustrating. And then I canā€™t sleep at night. But I know I canā€™t give into the cravings. Drinking wonā€™t solve anything.

Sounds like a good day!

I was just wondering if football meant American football or European football, and then I read your line about telly and that resolved that question :rofl:

Checking in 18.61hrs free from vaping after 20yrs of smoking or vaping. This is the longest ive gone in years!

15 months free from weed and alcohol today
7 months of living a healthier lifestyle (food and fitness)

Fuck this is NOT easy. I feel like a mother trying to correct a stubborn toddler, constantly reminding myself im a nonsmoker now. I want to save money and make myself proud. I just feel off today mentally.

1086 days no alcohol.
551 days no cocaine.
66 days no vape.
1 day no binge-eating.

Iā€™ve been feeling not so well mentally today and yesterday too, not sure how to describe it, but I donā€™t like it and I want it to go away. Atleast I know using substances wouldnā€™t help, nor do I want to use them.

I have done my usual routines and activities, even managed to do one of my new ones. I missed my lake walk due to attending the Survivors Zoom support group from 18:30-21:00, I was planning to go straight after it, but then I didnā€™t feel safe enough. I didnā€™t feel great in the group, I could barely speak, it was awkward af. Nevermind, Iā€™m still glad I went, it does help me feel slightly less alone.

Last hour of day 1. Appreciate the support and encouragement sent my way yesterday. Was the first time I showed my face on here, just felt like that adds more accountability. Yeah I have found going to meetings helpful. Plan to set in one tomorrow. Need to keep reading and learning. Good sober night to you all

I suffer from sleep deprivation, and I am the one causing it. I am acting against myself regarding sleep, sounds crazy but I am doing it

Feeling very out of sorts the last couple of days. Tired and cranky. For the first time since getting sober Iā€™ve felt the urge to drink. Loneliness is setting in and feeling like having a glass of wine. I will not, I know this feeling will pass.
