Day 1 again for me. Been to an AA meeting today which was really helpful and will hopefully be medicated soon.
Feeling a little shakey and headachey but I’m sober - just need to keep pushing through and remind myself that alcohol isn’t worth it.
Have a good day all

I was feeling so good yesterday, feeling accomplished and on the up and up with my health. Got my crowns put in without any need to get numbed up and they felt great. Got home and cooked up a pizza with my fella and then…got a text from the friend we stayed with that they were exposed to COVID and we should get tested. Our tests were all old but my husband popped positive. I went to the store for new tests and we both popped positive. F*ck. I had a hair appointment today, tomorrow was to be my convo regarding the part time job, all cancelled. What a disappointment. We made it this far without having COVID as far as we know, just got our vaccine booster a couple few weeks ago. No symptoms as far as we can tell, but I had to call the dentist this morning to let them know. Eric had to let his office mates know since he went to work yesterday. We called his sister to say she probably shouldn’t come next week to spend Christmas here, there’s more to that story so this was kind of the last straw honestly. He made me laugh though when he said “Merry Christmas to us!” What a weird ride we have been on lately. And the bottom line is all of this weirdness is manageable because I’m sober. I probably would have been hiding out in bed and drunk having to deal with set back after set back. I remember when I was in that binge territory that any change in plans would throw me big time. And I wouldn’t remember the plan when it changed, my husband would be like, don’t you remember we talked about this last night?!! No. I wouldn’t remember. That was black out territory. I’m so grateful to be maneuvering all of this shit sober. So so grateful. Hang tight, amigos. We can get through this season and be better off for it if we just stay sober. Sending love.

Checking In
Day 669
Didnt check in yesterday so probably should today. Yesterday was a good day full of baking. Im happy with how things turned out. Still have more Christmas baking to do today, this time cupcakes for my husbands work.
Im feeling quite tired today but will manage. Im just having a breakfast sandwich and a coffee now while waiting for the dollarstore to open. Have to pick up a few things before beginning my cupcakes.
Health wise… i havent worked out in like 2 weeks. Yet im not overly upset about it. My eating isnt bad but could be better. I think i needed the break tho. A break from putting so much pressure on myself all the time. I have health goals set for next year so will need to come up with a balanced health plan to help me obtain my goals.
Recovery wise i am good! Always so grateful to be clean and sober. I have very few cravings, and if I do, they are not very strong. Grateful for that!
Hope everyone has a great day/evening!

Yes, the laser sessions are done. The tattoo is this vague that they can cover it up. He draw a design that is more alike the original idea I had almost 2 years ago. He’s going to send me the drawing soon so I can think it over and I have the final appointment 9 januari. It was a long road.

Day 4 
It has been a long day but there are many things happened 
It is the first time I drink green coffee… I was so afraid that its taste might be horrible… but actually I found that it has the same taste as green tea somehow 
I read something I’d like to share with you and it really made me feel like somehow I was doing so.
It was saying that sometimes we are afraid small changes in our lives concerning every thing … These small changes could change our lives drastically. This happens because sometimes we don’t want to deal with the results even if they are positive results… maybe we’re lazy or maybe we’re afraid to not get acquainted with these changes… I felt like how many times I was afraid of the changes concerning my career as a teacher
Anyways hope you’re all enjoying your day or night

Day 2 in the books! Today or tmrw are usually the days I would already cave to that inner voice. A day at a time is certainly where it’s at right now.
Make it a great day everyone!

Day 10, made it to double digits
I’ve been sleeping sooo good and even getting up slightly earlier so that I’m not scrambling to get to work in the mornings. I’m hoping to get up a little earlier each morning so I can form healthy habits before getting my day started. Not waking up hungover, depressed and dreading the day has been wonderful, im more productive at work and happy to have convos with coworkers. Rather than closing my office door, doom scrolling socials and trying to sneak a nap at my desk because I feel like crap.
Have a wonderful day everyone!

Day 666 and its a super sun shiny day. I am not feeling the least bit bedeviled. Alcohol is lame, sober is rad. I just walked to work in short sleeves in December and got a massive dose of Vitamin D-elightful. Get that sober day folks!

Day 439 af
3 weeks have passed since I told my Dr that I need help with my anxiety. Since 3 weeks I’m on medication for that problem. The last months have been crazy, very irritating and hectic.
I’m proud that I opened up and asked for help. And I’m extremely proud that I didn’t turn to alcohol to calm this anxiety.
I learned that this fear doesn’t want to harm me, it’s just trying to protect me. I kinda now say “hi fear, thank you for caring but I’m safe. No need to protect me, all is okay”.
The time at home did help to calm down and relax and I had very helpful chats with kind souls on here who suffer from the same problem as I do. Thank you for being here guys
I’m feeling good, sweating more as I used to but if that’s all I’m fine with it. My head isn’t racing as it used to and I’m looking forward to my appointment this saturday at the hairdresser (I look awful lol).
Appetite returned as well. The only thing I still miss is a good sleep, I know this can take a while.
Have a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong

@jmg well done with your double digits! 
@trustybird Love the attitude! Sober is rad YEAH – short sleeves in December – now that is what I’m talking about. Enjoy your beautiful sober day!
@noshame Grateful that your baby is doing well and growing healthily in mommy’s belly. Keep this post available to you for when you feel that urge. A gentle reminder of why you are sticking to your guns and staying sober. Sending you strength on your journey.
@garry way to go with 8 days – knowing that Friday is a hard day – maybe plan ahead to help yourself out. For me, I would change up the routine or find ways to stay busy till bed time so that I would not be tempted or triggered. This is a wonderful place to come to if you need support. Keep stacking up the days.
For all the milestones – you guys rock!
