Day 10, had to escape my house today as being alone is never smart. The gym has once again proven to be a solid place to run to, despite the sheer amount of people here

I take care 
I know what a monster Covid can be. Thatās why Iām a little hypochondriac at the moment 
Working in the medical field is not always good, we know too much

Day 2 alcohol free
5 months 8 days weed free
Im trying to not be petty. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesnt.
I have some big changes i need to make and they can happen. But i need to be honest and nobodys going to help me see myself but me.
Yesterday I wanted to drink but I didnt. I only have been drinking on fridays and saturdays. I can avoid it the other days. Ill avoid it tonight and next week. And hopefully the weekend.

Day 42
A lovely neighbour has brought us a bottle of wine as a thank you for looking after their house whilst they were on holiday.
An unexpected gift, but somewhat triggering.
They have no idea Iāve stopped drinking.
I donāt know whether to gift it on, encourage my hubby to drink it, or what. But it doesnāt feel good it being in the house. Iāve just asked hubby to pop to the shop for a non-alcoholic treat for me.

A day after giving notice at my job we found out our kitty has an infection and we have to give him a medicine with potentially serious side effects (neurotoxicity). Ugh/ so much stress and uncertainty right now. And this morning I went for a walk and a stranger screamed at me for not saying good morning. I had crossed to the other side of the street to give him and his dog space (there are no sidewalks in this area and itās a one- way street. Anyway, I had my ear buds in so couldnāt hear him. So he starts yelling and Iām like what I canāt hear you why are you being rude for no reason. Itās crazy how these stupid silly little things can affect me so much! I feel ridiculous but it made me so mad! I see I have a lot of issues still with entitlement, self pity, resentment, and control. I called my sponsor and that helped but sometimes I feel so sorry for how many miserable and angry people there are in the world. 13 days alcohol free.

Kudos for honesty. It is great you are back here to start again.
Learn from the relapse and hopefully change response next time.

Checking in.
Its so hot that it drives me crazy. Im so bothered by the constant heat. Now I have a cooling thing in my room so that I can at least sleep without the heat.
Today could have been so much worse at work, so im very grateful that it wasnāt very busy and I had nice coworkers with me. Thank you, thank youuu for that. Otherwise I would have gone crazy.
Dont really have energy. Its getting so annoyingggg but okay. Everything could be ten times worse, so Im grateful.
Have a good day / night everybody <3
Thinking of all of you

Checking in on day 801. Staying with friends until Thursday. There are eight of us crammed into a small flat, and itās been a bit claustrophobic for me. Iām doing my best to breathe, but I really need my space. Plus itās been sweltering hot here. Today I did go for a walk while the kids played video games, and that was a relief to get out. By the way, staying sober really helps. It took me some years to realize it, but I think that alcohol makes everything I am trying to ātreatā worse in the long run, if that makes any sense. Anyhow, itās past midnight and I am rambling on, so good night all.

Checking in sober day 36.
More of the same struggles. Day starts out okay but by evening Iām exhausted, frustrated, and overwhelmed. Cravings to drink but I wonāt. I just need a break from everything. Adulting is overrated.
