Day 14 I’m proud of myself for making it this far. Couldn’t have done it with out my Higher Power, God as I know him and the support of the fellowship. Yes, that’s what we are is a fellowship. I’m very grateful.
Have a great 24 and have a positive day on purpose :blush:

Evening checkin.

I am hypersensitive today.
Everything tingels on my skin, it’s too loud, too brighten, people smell too much (lol).
I am depressed.
It’s hard to tidy things up.
My thoughts are weird and wild.
My skin and stomach are irritated

I let it be there, it passed but it’s back.
I am not my feelings.

I noticed that it’s difficult for me to smell humans last weeks. Lol. Just natural humans, that have a good vibe thats OK.
The worst is chewing gum and any kind of sence they put over. It’s so ugly and hard for me.

Had a meeting, that was acousticly difficult.
And with my constitution today, more difficult.
Will have a swim in about 2 hour.
Result will be reported in the right thread.

Not thinking about drinking until now.

Thanks for listening to my weird thoughts.

:heart:

Checking in on day 124.
Thankfully my anxiety is much less today. I’ve been to a very busy yoga class this morning and had a short walk in the sun on the way back. I’ve spoken with my parents and now the kids and I are working our way through our takeaway dinner. The head cold I had earlier in the week has virtually gone today. I have an appointment for Covid and flu vaccination tomorrow so I hope the side effects are minimal.
I have had thoughts of drinking but I’ve no intention of acting on them. I’m making sure to drink plenty of water instead.
One day at a time everyone!

Day 135. Hey everyone, good afternoon. Remembered my medicine the last day or so and do feel a little relief. I went for a nice little bike ride and I decided to treat myself, so I went and got myself two new colognes. They both smell amazing and just really helped with the whole confidence and better Mood. Now im trying to work on my annotated bibliography, I’ve been stuck on this for weeks, luckily my instructor gave us all extensions and I’m so glad because I don’t think I would of handed it In on time. But regardless I’m still stuck, I have my peer reviewed articles and I’m still struggling to summarize them. I hope I can get it done I’m going home this weekend and want all my attention on my girls. So yeah I probably should get to work. Much love and hope you all have good days

Evening check in, just finishing up at the gym. The cravings are bad! I think the radio in the gym is triggering it, all music designed for a night out, shout outs to people already drinking :unamused:

I won’t drink but really, really irritated.

Day 600
Really proud of myself for getting to 600 days clean. I know its not an actual milestone but for some reason hitting 600 feels incredible to me!
I dont think i checked in yesterday which isnt good. I came onto this thread and realized how much i had missed. I really hope everyone is doing well overall and doing well in their recoveries.
Today was such a lazy day. I slept all morning basically. Just waiting for my son to get home from school and then I will do some cleaning. I did finish an embroidery piece today tho, ironed it and framed it. Its going into an online auction to help raise money to support families that have just had a child diagnosed with cancer. This organization has helped my family SO much when my son was diagnosed years ago, so I wanted to help in whatever way i can. Grateful for this day and all thats in it. Grateful to be clean and sober. Much lovw to u all :butterfly:
