@rob11 iâm sorry my friend - sounds super rough emotionally and physically - i do hope that you are able to get the proper meds soon and start feeling better.
@Starlight14 You donât need to rush into anything love - the day to day of staying sober is still relatively new. Grateful that you are going to take steps for bettering your health. Be gentle with yourself. Billy is such a gem - grateful that he is guiding you with the Buddhist approach. Sure you will find much peace with this. Much love Kelly. I am having a fairly great Friday here in MI 
@lorelai 4 years of sobriety coming up is awesome my friend. Sorry you are not feeling your normal pep self - anything you want to talk about? Hope the rest helps.

Had some decluttering / reorganizing that was helpful for my brain too. Last day in my 8 years toxic job yesterday⌠Has to sink in slowly.
I am absolutly save, as I am still under contract and payd until end of the year. Solid situation for a new start. It feels very new! Felt pressure getting on notebook and phone this morning and get back fast from my morning walk. As I noticed, I took a longer round in this beautiful fresh air. This will be part of my new morning routine.

This is exactly how my life was the past few years! I got to a point I couldnât let her see him at all, it had gotten so bad. He was always a blackout drunk, like me, but he was a good father and wouldnât do that around her. Once crack entered the equation, everything turned upside-down. Quit work, dropped 70 lbs, and became homeless. Jail, and the following court ordered treatment, is what finally saved him.
It is so hard to watch the person you had a child with, and the daddy your daughter adores, decline in such ways. Always wondering âwhatâs going to happen next?â
Youâre lucky to have good communication with him. Thatâs very important for your daughters sake. Youâll get through this. Donât put too much pressure on yourself. Itâs a lot to think about all at once, but just focus on each day instead of the âwhat ifsâ the future might bring.

Day 565
I am pretty exhausted right now. I should have slept when i sent my son off to school. He only has a half day today but still. I shouldnt have drank a shit load of coffee then do chores and work on my dreamcatcher lol I did manage to get laundry done and vacuum. I have one of my dreamcatchers done (it just needs the right charm for the centre which Im waiting for off of amazon)
And i got the webbing done for the 2nd one im doing as a gift for someone. But now thats it noon and my son is coming home in like 20 min, im soooo tired. I really shouldve relaxed when i could. Ah well. It will be sooo nice to have him home. We will take it easy for the rest of the day. Hope everyone is doing well today

Hello sober friends. Checking in. I realized that one of the reasons I have been feeling a bit bad lately is that my taper off meds is almost completely done. Iâm almost completely off, and I think thereâs some discontinuation syndrome. So thatâs something.
I had a really nice dinner with a former supervisor tonight. I was dreading it a bit, but it ended up being great to catch up. I was going to reward myself with ice cream on the way home, but the good ice cream place was closed 
. Maybe tomorrow. Going to bed sober again. Tomorrow is a brand new day. Much love.

Day 509
Woke up feeling again very tired, almost lost it at work at the end of the day, had to log off early as my head was just not in the right space at all, as in bad shape, felt like when I was drinking, super strange feeling today. Just didnât know how to handle.
Now ready to try and go to bed
Have a good day everyone.

Hi all, checking in. Day 59.
Last day of annual leave today and my world is about to get busy. Had a lovely day doing pitch and putt with the kids, then lunch, a nap and finally the gym. Just watching the football and transfer deadline day now (was tempted to write that in caps lock to emphasise the shoutiness of sky sports news!)
14 years ago today I went into labour with my eldest. My sister is due today and hoping it is a special day. Hopefully her labour wonât take 2 days like mine! Gave my son a big cuddle earlier
Tomorrow my daughterâs football season kicks off again, birthday on Sunday, then back to work on increased hours and daughter starts secondary school. Trying to live in the moment as next week terrifies me 
Have to squeeze in a 15 year wedding anniversary on Wednesday before my daughterâs birthday the following week. At some point there will be a baby niece to welcome to the world too!
It is all good though and my family is emerging from a period of tough times, so celebrating the chaos really.
Sorry, I always get thoughtful around this time of year, remembering past years. And I donât think you ever shake the new academic year thing!
Hope everyone else has a lovely Friday and weekend.
