Welcome here Mustafa, I visited your city a year ago and loved it.
Besides that I recognize the struggle to find new healthier habits then drinking. For me it helped to keep myself very busy. So I walked a lot and was here a lot to read and learn about my addiction. Still here frequently because it helps me to stay focussed. You did 7 days, so you can do more.
2 steps forward and 1 backwards is still going ahead

I thought of vertigo as well. I had it for a couple years, on and off. It’s unclear what caused it initially, but now I know of a few things that can bring it on for me: after a cold/flu, going on a boat, fairground rides, yoga with a lot of forward folds. There is no definite cure. The head exercises work mostly within a few days. If not I take some meds and continue the exercises until it passes - maybe a week. But I can be without dizziness for months and as soon as I feel just a little woozy I do the head exercises for a few days, just in case.
Good luck and get well soon

Morning all, checking in Day 39.
Have a few days off work for half term. Hoping to have a few more days like yesterday. Feeling quite anxious though, struggling with time going so quickly. My children are 12 and 14 and we have moved into the next stage. They are wonderful but I miss the little years. Also, so many important people are aging, passing away. I guess this comes with my life stage but just not ready. A lot to work through.
It seems a lot are struggling at the moment. Sending strength to all 
Update: my daughter has begged me to take her and a friend to a skatepark a bit away. Not exactly what I had in mind, but find it very hard to say no.

It does look a bit like I’m struggling when it is quoted like that😂. I just meant that even when things are ‘fine’, I still wonder at the meaning of it all.
Thanks always for your caring presence on here.

Hey Alycia,
I thought I’d chime in on this as I’m in Perth and this conversation has come up recently.
I haven’t had a non-alcoholic wine/cider since I got sober this time but had drunk some non-alcoholic gin on my previous attempt and while at the time I didn’t think much of it I think I now feel that it’s just another example of marketing genius, why the hell would I want to pay nearly the same amount as alcohol for essentially juice 
I now just drink what tastes good, I think marketing lends to the idea we non drinkers (for whatever reason we are) are missing out, the bottles are the same, the taste is the same and the cost is nearly the same 
I love that fact I can go out and it doesn’t cost a fortune, they can keep their expensive fakery

A smart man learns from his own mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others.
Some of the best lessons I’ve learned in sobriety have been from other people’s mistakes. That’s why this forum is so great. Every day I get to see the relapse posts of what went wrong. People stopped going to meetings, put themselves in dumb situations, focus on everything but their recovery, are dishonest with themselves, etc.
Everyday im reminded of how bad drinking and drugging is because of people going out there to see if anything has changed.

Good morning from Texas TF. I just got up and saw this post. I’m wondering how you’re doing 5 hours later. Getting close to a month could be freaking your brain out. I do hope your well. You know we got your back.

Day 38 with no alcohol.
As shared before, I am not cannabis-free, yet–but this week I’m setting a goal of no vape for a week. Wish me luck. One thing at a time for this chick.

Checking in, a little bored. 2.5 hours in to the skatepark trip. So much of being a parent involves sitting on benches bored and trying to block out other people’s children. Painkillers seem to only work temporarily atm, so not able to concentrate on my book.

Checking in on day 141 AF.
After a handful of days where I had some respite from depression I have had a strong wave of it this morning. I had planned to go to the morning yoga session and then make the kid’s breakfast but I just lay there in bed instead. It’s a less strong feeling than before and there’s way less anxiety so I’m grateful for that. And I’m showered and dressed which is good.
