Checking in on day 132 AF.
I can feel myself getting better from the depression now. I still lay in bed for a while this morning but then I got up and made myself a pot of coffee. That may not sound like much but was impossible for me last weekend . I’ve been working on artwork using my iPad and also working on some embroidery.
It’s pizza night tonight although my son is out with a friend and will have his when he gets home.

Hi ya’ll :wave:
Today will be a good day.
Started with watching the partial eclipse of the sun … I don’t get it, lol. Wasn’t that exciting but I made the effort and saw it.
Making Buttercup Squash Ravioli with my husband today, probably an all day thing, we have no idea what we are doing so should be a fun :grin:
Pretty chilly here in Alberta but a beautiful sunny day
Hope everyone is well out there, make it a good day Peep’s :purple_heart:

Evening check in, 30 days in 15 minutes. No cravings today which is nice.

I have had my covid and flu jab today so a little knocked out but it could be a lot worse. This time when the Nurse said “make sure you stay hydrated” I wasn’t cringing knowing I would be drinking later. Glad my husband drove me as within 5 minutes I had slurred speech thanks to it triggering my FND symptoms. My brain is so weird :sweat_smile: Seem ok now and last time it triggered my bad leg so needed my stick. This time was fine so that is progress!

I had a real lightbulb moment earlier, was thinking that I won’t drink again and what a relief that was, rather than thinking “maybe in the future”. It is so nice to not have the angst around that. If I know I won’t drink again I won’t have to think about it. A lot of energy saved.

Have a good day/evening everyone

Hello, back home without taking any wrong exit.
I had drinking thoughts. I know I can’t control drinking and it will lead to hell.

Day 1029

Quite some cravings ugh. Tried to call the one I would call my best friend. Tried before but I could now see he pushed the call away. Haven’t heard from him while in treatment in the diagnostic centre and not after, so that makes about 10 weeks. This old behavior of pleasing and holding on to :man_shrugging:. Got the feeling I should break the relationship but I’m waiting for him to do so. He’s intelligent but he thinks he knows everything and has become quit narrow minded throughout the years in my opinion. I never pushed him back or went into discussion with him. Before I went to the diagnostic centre and I told him so he replied: “can’t you do it alone”. That hit me in the guts and I was like what the f@ck but just froze. I really went there to have some fun :wink:. Got the impression that friends could deal better with me when I drank (most don’t know the quantities and were no drinking buddies, but know I went to rehab several times). It is likely easier to understand that hey Rob drinks than hey Rob is looking into the root causes of his drinking and has mentally a rough time with it. There seems to be this belief that since I’m cognitive fine I could deal with everything mentally, with the booze I was indeed able to keep that image up. Without it my underlying issues got the upper hand, which now leads to my devil telling it is okay to take some of my DOC, next to this I opened my Tinder account again for outside validation, male or female doesn’t even really matter at the moment.

Just wanted to leave it here and out of my system.
