Day 50. Plans for tomorrow have fallen through so now Iām out money for 2 tickets but clearly my cousin is looking out for me somehow someway. Planning on watching the game from my couch. Iām sad but I know if I was meant to be there I would have been able to be. So thanks cuzzo for keeping me safe and drama free. Iām able to fight another day because I wonāt be dealing with family drama.

Checking in on Tuesday evening
223 days alcohol and weed free
638 days cigarette free
Today marks 8 weeks of being gluten free - so about 4 more weeks iām hoping 
I got to spend a few hours with my uncle this evening - he thinks i need to visit India and that that trip could be healing - 
I did move around a bit more today but my energy was still very weak today. Seeing my in network doctor tomorrow to get some testing referrals. We got some summer type drinks in cans for the pool this weekend and they were put in fridge in front of my la croix - i almost grabbed the wrong can (grateful that did not happen) - iāve sorted out the fridge so i wonāt make that mistake again. Have a wonderful addiction free night / day my friends - sending much loveā¦

I do not know that much about vaping compared to cigarettes.
So what Iām speaking about has to do with cigarettes, not vaping, since Iām not that up on vaping.
In the case of cigarettes, which is inhaling something into the lungs, often times when people quit they feel āspaced outā.
The reason for the spaced out feeling is because theyāre getting more oxygen to their body and particularly the brain, than they were when they were smoking. Cigarettes.
Just throwing this out there in the case that it is also the case with vaping and could do with how you feel.
Itās common with people who quit smoking cigarettes.
You can do it and thereās lots of support here for it. Get that money counter going.

Had a great time in town with my young friend yesterday. We had a great walk and a great talk. Talked about using and addiction too, she got a strong base not to fall for that, while sheās seeing problems with substance abuse already starting around her, with some of her classmates and friends, at 14.
The cat museum was a little bit of a tourist trap. Rather small. The masterpiece was worth the visit though. Itās back to work today. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.

Fuck me gently with a mothafucking chainsaw (Itās a Heathers quote and a homage to my favorite philosopher, Samuel L. Jackson)ā¦ I fucking made it to 200 days!
Me! The disaster artist. The permanent seeking help resident. The hot mess. Me! 200 fucking days without a drop of wine.
AND Itās my birthday!
I was worried the date might trigger me to drink, instead Iām just happy to be feeling good. At 33 Iām in the best place Iāve ever been. Iām happily married, my career is moving in the right direction and Iām mentally pretty damn stable.
Yeahā¦ And Iām staying in a posh hotel where the nice receptionist gave me a birthday room upgrade that comes with a minibar full of soft drinks. And breakfast. And access to an executive lounge with unlimited coffee and desks, so I have somewhere to work for the rest of the weekā¦ and thereās a bathtub in the room!!!
Yeahā¦ Soā¦ Today everything is perfect.

Checking in sober!
This last few weeks Iāve been working on my post booze sugar craving. Iām not diabetic but Iāve always been aware of my glucose levels going too high and too low as I carb load / replace for exercise and crash if I have too little after a busy day. But also, I just have some unhealthy chocolate and crisps / chips craving.
I knew after I quit booze Iād need to beat this replacement addiction and Iām being a lot more sensible and getting more stable, healthy glucose readings. So itās another little sober victory for me.

Iām lost for words. I feel like my heart has just been ripped out of my chest, reading your words and watching the videos. The poor children, the poor parents.
A parents worst nightmare is having their children taken away from them, and the fear of the unknown of what will happen to them after that.
Itās pure evil.

Checking in on Day 29. It isnāt raining at the moment which is nice. That seems to be our normal at the moment this summer. I know they say Brits are obsessed with talking about the weather but it makes such a difference to your day!
I need today to be better than yesterday. I am trying to reframe my current attitude to encourage that to happen.
Have a good day everyone
