Checking-in for the past few days…
Didn’t get anymore sleep after my check-in Wednesday night, or Thursday night, nor Friday night, so I’d been awake since 10:30pm Weds night. I’ve been okay, until yesterday, but I’ve had no energy, and it’s affecting my mental health now.
I haven’t managed to go in the gym yet, like I was hoping, but I have walked there and back every day, I even made myself do it in the dark when I couldn’t make myself do it during the daytime on Thursday.
I had a bath Thursday night, so I felt good about that, and I went for my Testosterone shot first thing Friday morning, so I felt good about that too.
Yesterday, I felt very depressed, and so very sad with dark thoughts. I tried all of my healthier coping mechanisms but they didn’t help, but I did manage to watch 2 episodes of The Voice, and during the 2nd one, I ate pizza and ice cream. It was a good distraction, but ultimately, I know I need sleep. I’m typing this at 1:25am and I haven’t been able to sleep so far. I will do what I do then see if I fall asleep or if not, then maybe I’ll be able to once I know my check-in is done and I’m all caught-up. 
…I caught up until there were only 70ish posts left, then a sleep wave hit me at 4:45AM this morning, and I slept from 5-11:30am, I feel much better for it.
I hope you’ve all had, or are having, wonderful sober weekends.

I managed a bit of a walk and I was able to pick up something for dinner while I was out. It is a lightly drizzly day here today, which I quite like. I’m back home now on the sofa. Thanks for your kind words Anne.

Sacha and Dennis are with their father at the pool. Anthony has ear infection so I didn’t want him to go. He was a bit upset so I took him out as well. We went ice-skating, drink hot chocolate… We are having great time! It’s so nice, my little Gizmo can have my all attention
Sorry for crazy amount of fotos but he is just so cute…

Things are going okay here. I’ll be making a Crockpot meal using leftover turkey today. A respite worker will come to hang out with my daughter for a couple of hours. Maybe they can do a puzzle or something to get her off of her electronics. She doesn’t really need a respite worker but we need to use services in order for her to get Medi-Cal next year. Hope everyone has a good Sunday!

Hi all,
I am back after another break where I was on/off sober. This has culminated in a period of heavier drinking and then ending up covered in vomit last night. I know that I’m running away from things and trying to blast through my feelings with alcohol. I HATE this drug, HATE it, for nearly ruining my life so many times.
Can I ask people for advice on what was the most helpful thing in sticking to early sobriety? I am starting therapy this week - both on Betterhelp and in person and I am going to do some work on myself because I think that this is the main problem. I am running away from feelings, fears, insecurities and that is why the last couple of years of drinking have been worse if anything.
I am humble to any advice. I think I’ll need to go back to AA this week too and try and get some sober friends.
Sending love to you all.
Freckles xx
