Hey all, checking in on day 1219. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 688
Life still continues to give me lemons. Iāve decided Iām not making lemonade though, instead Iām going to squeeze the juice in lifeās eyes and laugh at it crying!
I still canāt open up on what happened and I honestly donāt even know if I want to share because it is hugely impactful and has potential triggers for too many people.
Either way Iāve decided Iām fighting life back at itās own game!
No matter the result, itās my life, lived my way!
Love and strength to you all
Thank u so much! I will definitly be checking this out
Day 96 . Have a good day, all!
Thanks for the advice. Night one has been pure joy, Iāve slept maybe three hours and already sick of poppin pills, but it definitely could be worse (knocking on wood).
More water, more meds and hopefully more sleep.
Thank you.
Thank you so much my dear friend
I am on a very restricted diet and it seems to help a bit but not seeing the the results i would like. I do tend to run hot internally (aryevedic speakingā¦im a pitha) therefore am following a cooler diet (to some degree cause it does affect my other symptoms).
I appreciate the cookbook. I am working with two aryevedic practicioners at the moment. Amazing all the healing properties our food provides. This practice was what helped me heal as much as i have when the medications failed me.
I am on a high dose of Vit D and try to get my omega from flax and chia seeds and seaweed. At the moment i am trying a high alkaline diet (been 10 days) but too many prebiotics are tearing up my stomach.
Day 31 of being alcohol free.
Thank yous @HakeemOsman and @Hidden for your kind words.
Unfortunately the headache is still around Think Iām gonna have to break down and take something for it. I usually try not to take anything if I donāt have to on account that Iām sure Iāve damaged my liver enough.
@Soberbilly - Wow! That really is a transformation! I like the long hair better Also love intermittent fasting! It really does work fast
Day 16 and still feeling really good. I like sober. Itās different - and better. Right now, anyway - I do struggle with having to avoid the places where Iām tempted to drink. I feel like I need that social interaction, but right now itās best for me to work on myself. Iāll get there.
Day 74 (one more dayā¦)
just checking in.
Day 114. Half day off today. Going to have an early dinner and relax:)
I am also embracing Buddhism. I found a Buddhist meditation center a few blocks from my building and I go to classes there every Tuesday night now. I feel so good when Iām there.
My daughters father is known as āHippieā. His hairās longer than mine, and heās got the Dead bears tattooed on his neck! Makes more sense on you though, since you actually lived through the hippie years.
Way to keep fighting. BTW, 6 years clean is SPECTACTULAR. One relapse doesnāt take away from all those years clean! To make it 6 years is amazing!
Its all good - i appreciate you and really its funny how much i am still learning daily ā one canāt know everything. I am always open to new ideas.
I am hoping to get some down time soon so that i can mentally prepare for meeting a Chinese herbalist that also deals with acupuncture for inflammation. Hoping to get an appointment next week.

@Trixie1 Well done!
@Kelsey55 Hope there are some people here you recognise. But old or new, we are here to support you.
@BrOKenWolf Sending strength.
Day 40, had some cravings this past week. I just keep telling myself the aftermath of drinking is not worth it at all. Peace and love everyone.
