Working my way through day 32 and today is definitely better than yesterday. I woke up at 5:00 a.m. to do my routine and ended up having to deal with an incident outside my home involving a driver hitting a parked car. My husband’s parked car. The police were beyond irritating I had to make a complaint with the department. My youngest, she has special needs, is sick so that always gives me added anxiety, luckily she is doing well though, thank God for that. Had another incident in the afternoon not as big of a deal. 30 days seemed so exciting and then I wake up on day 31 and it seems like everything has fallen to complete shit. This whole car situation right before the holidays it’s not a good feeling. I tried to get pills yesterday and luckily that didn’t work out. Feeling a little bit better today still kind of upset about things. Not in the best place with my husband as I’m holding a lot of resentment towards him for not listening to me about putting his car in the driveway before we went to bed. But I guess nobody’s perfect and that resentment is only going to feed the dark side of me, aka my addiction, she is such a beeotch. I know using my DOC to cope will never be the right option but just like any other habit it is my comfort zone and it does seem to be where I run to during hard times. Just another thing intricately woven into my life by years of addiction that now I must correct and find a better way. Have a whimsical Wednesday everyone!

Checking in sober. Day 11.
I’m useless at work. Only 5 more days at this job and I think my brain has already left. 
I’m excited about my new job starting in January. And getting a little time off over the holidays. And even though most of my family drinks, they know I don’t so it’s really not a trigger for me. We’ll all be together from the 22nd-26th. It’s always a bit overwhelming for me, but it’s only a few days. And I do like seeing them all.
I just wish my brain wouldn’t insist on overthinking everything. I wish I could just be “chill,” but that’s not who I am. I’m trying to be okay with that.

Thanks for the shout out. It’s so huge. I have not been sober this long in 20 years.

Not giving in to the addictive habit will help and make it slightly easier the next time you’re triggered. Not even noticeable on a time to time basis but in the long run it will get ever easier as you learn other ways and train other, healthier coping mechanism and habits into your system. Keep going. Glad you made it through this one X

Great job Naomi!
Congratulations on your 10 ODAAT’s
I swear my pets were/are more lovingly, if that’s even possible, when I quit drinking. They still do. Or maybe I can be sober and appreciate their unconditional love and give it back in return. Either way. It’s a beautiful thing.

Thanks Eric!
And yes, unconditional love… Our worlds would be empty without them

Two and a half days in, first big hurdle: traveling. Heading to the airport where I usually grab something quick to eat on the plane. Eating ahead of time to help, but I know that this binging ritual is more about comfort than actual hunger.

congrats on your 2.5 days… travelling can be a trigger for sure. Smart move on eating ahead. Also check out our Traveling Sober thread - it may help you on your trip. Maybe some pointers that would be useful. Keep strong

Hi all, evening check in with 90 days. Finally getting over the cold but work is very busy. Not really had a chance to stop today. It is the work Christmas party tomorrow afternoon. Just painted my nails. I am not too worried about it as I didn’t drink last year and it isn’t a crazy kind of event. Sorry for not being more present, hopefully I will catch up now.
