Day 688

Life still continues to give me lemons. Iā€™ve decided Iā€™m not making lemonade though, instead Iā€™m going to squeeze the juice in lifeā€™s eyes and laugh at it crying!

I still canā€™t open up on what happened and I honestly donā€™t even know if I want to share because it is hugely impactful and has potential triggers for too many people.

Either way Iā€™ve decided Iā€™m fighting life back at itā€™s own game!

No matter the result, itā€™s my life, lived my way!

Love and strength to you all :muscle:t3::heart:

Thanks for the advice. Night one has been pure joy, Iā€™ve 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 :people_hugging:

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.

Thank yous @HakeemOsman and @Hidden :blush: for your kind words.

Unfortunately the headache is still around :face_with_head_bandage: Think Iā€™m gonna have to break down and take something for it. I usually try not to take anything if I donā€™t have to on account that Iā€™m sure Iā€™ve damaged my liver enough.

@Soberbilly - Wow! That really is a transformation! I like the long hair better :smirk: Also love intermittent fasting! It really does work fast :laughing:

Day 16 and still feeling really good. I like sober. Itā€™s different - and better. Right now, anyway - I do struggle with having to avoid the places where Iā€™m tempted to drink. I feel like I need that social interaction, but right now itā€™s best for me to work on myself. Iā€™ll get there.

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 Iā€™m there.

My daughters father is known as ā€˜Hippieā€™. His hairā€™s longer than mine, and heā€™s 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 doesnā€™t 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 canā€™t know everything. I am always open to new ideas. :hugs:

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. :crossed_fingers:

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.
