Day 1217
I have not been on this thread so much. I got behind (changed internet providers, so no home internet for a few days) then got a bit overwhelmed to catch up and kept putting off looking. I missed reading peopleā€™s check ins, tho. Glad to be back.
I also wanted to get it out that I have been having odd flashes of thoughts of drinking. I am assuming they are just random thoughts, like the thoughts of jumping in front of an oncoming train, or grabbing a money box off a security guard, or pulling down a strangerā€™s overly baggy sweat pants. But still, being aware that they are there and maybe that is a sign to get back to basics a little.

So day 28, I woke up decent and said my graditudes and my prayers. After this I have a one on one with my med therapist and Iā€™m going to see about getting on a ssri for my depression, Iā€™m in ok spirits for the most part but do have a little depression, other than that with being off all my other meds I really donā€™t notice any difference from being on them. My vyvance that I was on I notice nothing being off it at all, I literally feel the same. So for me I think thatā€™s a good thing bc personally I donā€™t want to be on all these medicines if I donā€™t have too. Other than that Iā€™m gonna make the best of today much love

Day 131

Took the time on my accountability Log to detail out all my systems iā€™m establishing going forward. I still have a long way to go, but iā€™m learning more and more, i dont have willpower. What i do have is habits, habits stacked on top of habits, and this is how i create motivation and structure in my world. I just want to be 1% better everyday. Iā€™m trying to apply what i learned from Atomic Habits to structure my life daily. Iā€™ve seen success with this but like everything else, CONSISTENCY is always a struggle for me.

Iv been on ssri for years. They definitely take a while to start working. And by now, if i miss a day on accident, i can totally feel the difference. I hope you find what your looking for and dont be discouraged if you dont feel immediate results. Just my input. Have a good day mike

1 week gambling free. Had some near misses but found a better way. Iā€™ve hidden and lied about gambling more than any drink and drug Iā€™ve ever had which I find strange as I considered it the least of my problems. I also find it the most embarrassing bc itā€™s not addictive chemically like other stuff so canā€™t blame a bodily craving but mentally the obsession is the same.
Iā€™ve blocked myself from online gambling and still found a loop hole so now itā€™s all about self control and being less selfish.
Onwards and upwards.

Thank you for this. Youā€™ve made me realize the reason I donā€™t want to go to this co-workerā€™s house (again, Iā€™ve done a few of her parties in the past) is becauseā€¦ I donā€™t like this co-worker.

She is not my cup of tea and that is okay. I will figure out a way to send regrets and move on.

I donā€™t love socializing with people I donā€™t know very well these days and that is okay too. Drunk Emilie tolerated a party with strangers quite well. Sober Emilie just needs to keep it closer to home for a while longer.

Sobriety is just so wild when a truth hits your brain. Thank you for your response. Iā€™m feeling empowered by this today. šŸ©·

Checking in on day 9
I had little sleep last night due to anxiety and was pretty tired and stressed today. Hopefully tonight/tomorrow will be better.
Looking forward to the holidays, I just installed the last christmas lights outside the house. It also light up my mood, so cozy! :blush::christmas_tree:

Day 667
Hi everyone! Hope you all are having a great day/evening! Today has been nice! Beautiful weather out which always puts me in a good mood. I did a small grocery shop early this morning and am now waiting for my hubby to meet me for lunch at a restaurant. Then home to make chocolate truffles for my Christmas treat tins. All n all things are good today! I think my better mood is partially due to getting better sleeps since ive been on these sleep meds. So grateful for that! Enjoy ur day everyone! :butterfly:
