I just got a super B12 shot and I feel amazing. Going to my Naturalpath clinic next week for a Vitamin and mineral IV. Looking forward to that, not the needle so much. Iā€™m hoping this helps with these ridiculous headaches I struggle with.
I take many supplements for inflammation and they totally make a difference.
Im sure you will feel better when you get your shot. :smiling_face:

Day 274.

Today I buried my uncle. It was the most heartwrenching and painful thing I had to go through since going sober. But I didnā€™t fucking drink.

Not gonna lieā€¦ the thought did cross my mind. But I didnā€™t. Gonna try and get some sleep now.

I love you guys. Iā€™m sorry for not replying individually to everyone who showed me love and support throughout all this. Iā€™ve read your posts and they brought me lots of comfort. Seriously, this community is my lifeline.

Checking in on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I got the Halloween decorations all up, and had some guests over for dinner yesterday.
Had a lovely walk and lunch with my in-laws, sister in law, wife and daughter today. Got all the gutters cleaned.
Will be having a nice Daddy-daughter evening in at home tonight.
All weekend sober, and no triggers or any bad temptation. Iā€™m so much better at life this way.

Day 27:

Good day / bad day.

Sleep, a recurring theme of my check-ins the last almost 4 weeks, was not good again last night. Got the night sweats again which i thought was odd, theyā€™ve been gone for a while now. Felt like i was getting a cold so i popped some Dayquil and got ready to go to Frightmares with my kids.

We arrived at the park and i needed to buy a ticket for my sonā€™s girlfriend, my kids and me have season passes. $100 for a day pass!! But the most awesome thing happened when we were standing in line.

There was a woman behind us with her two daughters. She tapped my sholder and said she had a voucher for four passes, but her husband couldnā€™t make it so she wanted to know if i would like her extra ticket. At first i politely declined, not exactly sure why, but she insisted. Said it would just go to waste if we didnā€™t use it. I offered her $50 and she said no, i tried handing her daughters $20 and they said no. The mom just said they were happy they could give it to someone. There are still kind people in this world, i was extremely thankful.

We had a great time at the amusement park, went on all the big coasters first and my daughter and me did rhe giant swing that drops you from 150ā€™ in the air wearing only a harness attached to a cable, absolute rush!

But as the day went on i was feeling worse so we left at 4:00.

Came home and in the back of my mind i knew what i had. Took my Covid test and it was an instant positive. This will be my second time with this garbage.

Not feeling too horrible at the moment, thoat hurts, sneezing, back sore as hell and my face feels like itā€™s on fire, other than that things are swell!

Already let work know, looks like i get a couple of days off, but Iā€™d much rather be working.

Luckily Iā€™m prepared, have all the meds i need and just going to wait this out. Can not tell you how happy i am to have almost 4 weeks of sobriety behind me before taking this on!

Hope everyone else had a great sober weekend.

Much Love!

Second check in of the day for me. Iā€™m in my little girlā€™s nursery chair with her asleep in my arms.
Love is a better buzz than you can get from anything else.
