Day 454. Feeling good. A little sleepy but I don’t have anything to complain about. Off to work in a few, gotta stop at the gas station for the usual energy and breakfast and then tonight I’m going to a meeting, so I’m really looking forward to that.
Hope everybody has a great day today. It’s Wednesday and you know what that means. Stay strong.
good morning, i’ve been alcohol-free for 38 days, i’m 20 days off nicotine and today is my first day without a vape (i was using a nicotine-free one). i also realized i’d like to stop smoking weed. i’m ready to intimately know my own mind and who i really am, what i actually think and feel. any mind-altering substance makes that impossible. my head hurts and i’m confused and very vulnerable, but i trust this path more than anything.
I still have the trumpet that I got when I was in 4th grade and played through college. Then quit. It’s in its case under my bed, and I might break it out one of these days to see what I still remember. Probably don’t remember much. It’s cool that you broke out your flute to play with your daughter!
My dad got the 2nd flute when I started playing so he could learn with me, so I figured why not do the same. We were a very musical family and my parents would find instruments at garage sales. I also played the oboe, sax, clarinet, bass and guitar. Which is another reason I’m perplexed at my lack of musical knowledge today.
Checking in day 409! Been feeling pretty good the last week. Have a few clients and a haircut today. Tomorrows my last day at my full time job, and start my new one on Monday. Having some of the normal nerves and piecing together my part-time clients into my new schedule. Overall will be a good change, with more normal hours that will allow me to have routine. Looking forward to that.
Also, we’re full on fall weather where I am. Trying to live in the moment and enjoy it instead of dreading winter. Feels really nice out, and grateful for that.
Wow Menno, that is alot to experience. That seizure must have been terrifying to witness. Its so hard to see others hurting from drugs and alcohol. Youre an incredible human being for what you do Im sorry about ur friend also i see that her passing happened 4 years ago, but still want to send my condolences to u. Hope u have a peaceful day friend
Today I finally sat down and started working again. It feels good doing whatever it is I do for a living. I’m easing myself back into the groove slowly.
In other news, I went shopping again! I got this whole bunch of cleaning supplies to make my domestic life easier. And multi-vitamins. We need vitamins. I stopped myself from entering the clothes shop, so there’s that!
Checking In Day 612
Just got my son on the bus for school and now im getting ready for my dental appt. A bit nervous about it. I dont particularly like dentists but i have been wanting to get my teeth professionally cleaned for awhile now. This is my first dental cleaning since I stopped using drugs. I would have gone sooner but my husband and son needed to use the dental benefits from last year first. Thats okay. I have no pain or discomfort anywhere in my teeth so it wasnt a huge issue to wait. But now its my turn and im nervous lol Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
Sounds like you have goals and may have lost them along the way. Keep your eye on the prize. You deserve a clean, calm and happy life. Only you know what that looks like.
Dive deep, you’ll get there.
I’m feeling good, better focus and better sleep. No cravings for alcohol but for social media
I know this will calm down, I watched some videos of people who did such a detox too and how they felt. I’m at the very beginning so it pretty much sucks
My coworkers seem to understand, they’re not sending me videos over and over like the last time I tried to quit.
Now heading home, looking forward to a special meal I’m craving since the morning
Second checkin from the national harp competition where my daughter got third place in her duet competition and first place in the ensemble competition. Very proud mama here.
