Happy rainy morning from Chicagoland! Day 8. Made it to 2 meetings yesterday and it was great. Slept awesome again (really like that part of being sober). Had some cravings yesterday just because my old habits of coming home on my early night off and drinking are still there but they passed.
You are all awesome! Thanks for being here to listen to me rant haha.
Have a great day!!

yum. House is supposed to close Friday, keep your fingers crossed

I am so sorry my friend. I know itās rough dealing symptoms for so long especially when you donāt know the underlying cause. I totally sympathize with you.
I have to have faith that things will get better. I do try to surround myself with laughter as itās difficult for me to get into my funk while Iām laughing.
Sending you so much healing energyā¦I do hope you start to feel better soon

Checking in Day 6) This might not be my only check in today guys as I have a meeting later tonight that might jog some thoughts (Sorry!)
Iāve been waiting for 2 weeks now to hear back from a job that I really want. They keep saying they want me, theyāve told me personally, as had the recruitment agency but they keep on dragging their heels because they donāt want to pay the agency fees - theyāve openly told me this. Iāve agreed to take Ā£3k a year less as itās well paid enough to do so, the agency have negotiated with them and they keep saying āCall us back at this timeā but there seems to be a serious lack of commitment on their behalf. Weāre all ready to go and the employer knows my track record, they know the work Iāve done for other restaurants/pub kitchens, they know about the turnarounds Iāve done and they know Iām worth the salary, especially having 17 years skin in the game.
Itās never taken so long for an employer to get back in touch with me to offer a job; itās usually within 3 days. Iāve worked my arse off for nearly 2 decades to have an airtight CV and can confidently support it with references, pictures of my dishes, recipes, awards etc ā¦ Iām trying not to sound arrogant, Iām trying to remind myself that itās half term and theyāre probably busy but itās beginning to really bug me now

Checking in on day 105. I actually slept well last night! Finally!
@Mno , I am glad you got some sleep as well. Depression is a complex issue, requiring alll those remedies you spoke about.
@Trixie1 , great going, I love those numbers ending in zero as well!
@maestro, closing in on a year! Fantastic!
@TrustyBird , well said about the struggle with moods. They do change. They are only feelings.
@KarenKW , Iām sending you a hug.
Letās all get through the day, together in spirit, with the wisdom we all have inside to face whatever this day brings,

Thank you for your kind words, all the time. It really warms my heart.
One psychologist means lots of my physical symptoms comes from childhood trauma, growing up with alcoholic father. But I dont knowā¦ I just want to feel normal and being there for my kids and not feel stressed, scaredā¦

Morning work break check in.
I had my Covid booster shot and flu shot on Monday. Yesterday I felt nauseous and drowsy all day, but powered through til the late night.
Today after a good sleep Iām back powered up.
Brain fog is gradually lifting as I get more distance from my heavy drinking and sleep deprived era, but itās clear I have a long way to go to heal my body more fully. The goal is to fully heal my brain and other organs, but I know thatās a long term commitment.

Checking in on day 122 AF it finally feels manageable. Taking it one day at a time has become a way of living.
I finally have an appointment with my psychiatrist to talk about my medications, which have been going great. Itās nice finally being on meds that actually work with me.
To those struggling, I feel for you. But hang in there, you have the strength to get through your troubles. Make today a good one

Gaba-Pro is a natural supplement that my Naturopath has suggested to me to take that edge off and calm my nerves. I donāt notice an effect per say but it does help with my nerves and rages.
I get it ā¦ I so get how yer feeling. You will get through this.

Hi everyone 
After 3 years of sobriety, I relapsed two months agoā¦
Today is Day 3 
ā¦ I can put forward many reasons to justify this, but unfortunately none of them bring back the 3 years. long story short ; Iāve done this before, now Iām starting again.
