Day 1015,
Tennis evening was nice, won both my double matches 
. Restless sleep, always after sporting late and probably since I took my medication late to go last through the evening. So I slept (stayed in bed) a hole in the day.
Listened to āThe golden keyā, a fellow did sent me the link this morning. It uses the word God in it but not in an annoying way. At least in my opinion. It just seems fit for the insecure position Iām currently in.

Day 18.
Still not sleeping straight through the night. Combination of no more anxiety medication and the entry into treatment program on Tuesday. Learning to practice acceptance over and over again. Iāve been doing this mainly through prayer and mindfulness.
Having a relaxing, productive Saturday on purpose!
Happy 24 hours sober all!

Hi Jasmine,
You are right. Thank you for your honesty and support. I agree I am feeling all these emotions because my entry into treatment is soon coming. Change. Something Iāve been running from for a long time by staying stuck in misery, depression, addiction. Screw that!!! As scared as I am I am walking this line right into freedom. I feel like a rebirth is eminent. Thank ful for this opportunity and going to make the most of it.
Although I do go to meetings I need to start to go to in person meetings. Indo have a sponsor, and will be working the steps. Have a wonderful day you are doing great and a wonderful support for many on this journey to freedom.

20 days alcohol free, 3 days nicotine free! yesterday was really rough and i thought about folding ā¦ but i didnāt! proud of my self. 
took Elijah to urgent care last night turns out he had a double ear infection! so grateful for swift professional care, he was put on antibiotics right away and should be feeling much better soon 
his dad gets out of jail next week so hopefully iāll be getting more support but iām not counting on it!! no matter what, iām staying sober. even with the rough stuff, the unpleasant circumstances that are out of our control, life is so incredibly amazing and itās very much worth living with a clear mind and a clear and open heart

(Five), SIXTH DAY CHECK IN.
feeling immense today, swimming was luxurious and a great way to start the weekend sober. I just loved everything about this morning so much. Up early and swimming after one coffee, back and made a nice brunch. Having a last coffee then me and the other half are walking through the London parks. This is what I remember feeling about sobriety! Get that Sober dopamine going.

I love the idea of sober dopamine! There is just so much more of the day to enjoy it too.

Day 118 alcohol free.
Iām feeling an awful lot better these past 24 hours.There is still an underlying anxiety present but I can say that I mainly enjoyed taking my daughter to her harp concert last night, and then felt good and tired when we got home. I slept well and had a nice lie in. Iām thinking back to this time last week when I couldnāt even get out of bed and itās a massive improvement. Today Iāve managed to make breakfast and lunch for my daughter, have a shower, walk her to drama class and do some grocery shopping. Now Iām having a pot of tea and in a little while Iāll start to make our pizzas.
I think Iām finally getting a positive result with the Escitalopram and I hope that each day is a little easier than the last from now on.
One day at a time.
