Working my way through day 34. Feeling pretty good even though this week really sucked, like really, really bad. So much it almost felt like a test. I failed a little bit lol but I stayed successful at staying sober. That’s the main thing. Even though my emotions were a bit out of control because of all of the bad things going on, it would have been worse if I was using my DOC. Have a fabulous Friyay everyone!!!

Day 94.
Walking one foot in front of the other. Depression is lifting a bit. I am feeling more motivated to continue the work. I have been having difficulty remaining consistent as I can get stuck in self pity! I choose to do whatever it takes to keep healing and have faith that all will be well when I do my best!
Thank ful for this community. Strong and Serene 24 all!

Wow! That part about anger being justified but “she needs to take a seat”, Makes it feel validated. I think I’m trying to dismiss or make it go away. Thanks for putting that into words. I needed that. I’ve been definitely harboring anger this week and trying to work through it. Have a wonderful weekend

Thank you for sharing this. I’m sorry for what you’re experiencing and this was eye opening for me. As a father, i don’t want my children to go thru watching something like this. So thank you for your perspective. Just another reason for me to stay sober.

@juli1 BAM is right – congrats on your double digits! Keep going badass 
@soberwalker WOW – yeah – that is a vast difference. I am so sorry that you have had to deal with this for 2 years. I do love your concept and the new drawing. Grateful that the tattoo shop took care of laser costs. So excited for you finally getting what you want and not having to keep your arms covered any longer. 
@rosacando Oh man that is horrible Rosa. So sorry that you are dealing with such symptoms. Is bloody mucus normal for Covid? Should you talk to your doctor? Hoping you feel better real soon 
@mindofsobermike 30 days!!! Hell yeah Mike – way to go. I’m sorry your meds are having side effects. Some do taper off as you take them (as your body is adjusting to them) but regardless it is a good idea to discuss with you doctor so they are aware of what you are experiencing and may be able to change up the dosage.
YES – a great reminder for us all that no matter what crap we are dealing with – that engaging with our DOC will only make matters worse. Sorry for your sucky week – hope you have a wonderful relaxing weekend.
@lotusflower I see you creeping to triple digits Des. So excited for you. I am glad to hear that the depression is lifting. Hold onto that faith. Positive results will come when we put our best efforts in.
Checking in on Friday morning - HAPPY FRIDAY my sober companions
woke up feeling blah but made my way to see my moms for our morning chats (used to be coffee – oh i miss the coffee LOL). They were expecting a maintenance guy to come in for a water leak and the atmosphere was chaotic and stressful so after i realized i could not help i left so i would not be in the way. now home and finishing up my morning cleanse and needing to sleep LOL.
Its a beautiful sunny Friday morning so i do hope that i will have energy to get out for a bit later today. Love the warm crisp days in Winter 
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love

Hi Mike, I tried them a few weeks ago and got an allergic reaction. So I did quit them, they are no fun in the beginning. I might give it another try soon, but I’ll have to see. Just like you I wasn’t feeling to bad when I started using them, so I understand your concerns. It’s a trade off I geus. And yep the side effect you won’t mention was also happening to me. Damn bloody irritant, but that might be an understatement

Day 1091,
Had the funeral of my uncle, saw a lot of family members I hadn’t seen in ages. Bit surreal, feel a lot, but labeling them I find kind of hard still.

I feel everything you describe is totally ‘normal’ for emotions, feelings and thoughts to encounter at a funeral. Take your time to process it all Rob.

Checking in on day 194 AF.
I’ve had the feeling all day that I’ve forgotten something and lo and behold I checked my Facebook and today is our 7th wedding anniversary. We only got to celebrate our first anniversary as my husband was told he had terminal cancer around the same time.
I’ve been getting on with the paperwork and phone calls I need to make at the moment but really trying to pace myself so that I don’t get overwhelmed. I’ve finished for the day and will pick it back up on Monday.
At this moment I’m cosy by the fire and waiting on our dinner to arrive.
Wishing everyone an addiction free day.
