Checking in still sober.
Iām glad itās Friday! Iām slowly getting into a routine with the new job. And overall feeling more positive.
Iām realizing that Iām suffering from PMDD every month and get really depressed for a few days. I keep putting off talking to my doctor about it because Iām so close to menopause, but I will make a point to talk to her about it.

Checking in with 6 days - almost a week! Had a horrible headache all last night and this morning. Iāve taken some Anadin for the pain but it still sucks and its quite painful. Did anyone else deal with bad headaches upon quitting alcohol?

Oh, I know that feeling of being totally incompetent and not being able to focus, no matter how hard I try. Youāre not alone ā¦ Sometimes I feel like an idiot, procrastinating endlessly, getting sidetracked after every three sentences, thoughts drifting off ā¦ Then I take a break and tell myself I just need to clear my head, get some fresh air, a cup of coffee or so. Aaaand the struggle just continues. 
I hope the extended deadline helps and things look brighter today! Wish you a clear headed and productive day.

I really like your attitude towards ultra-processed foods. I still eat unhealthy and canāt get myself to quit, why not see it as the addiction it is? As of today I am going to set a day counter for UPF free days for myself too. I started calorie counting again to lose some pounds, but I also want to get back to healthier eating.
Going to read Food for Life and Ultra-Processed People. Did you read those by any chance?

Day 1,309 clean and sober, day 2 no social media. Yesterday I slept a lot!!! The amount of stress at work really takes a toll on me I guess. I did nothing but read and sleep all day which means I have to spend today doing the chores I didnāt get done yesterday 
Oh well. I hope everyone has a great day today, love you guys

Yes, I had horrible headaches as well. I believe it could be related to the loss of all the sugars in alcohol??? @Mno probably knows more about this for sure. I know that in the beginning having some sweets on hand really helped me through the first couple of weeks. Great job!

Yes, this happens to me usually 3-7 days after quitting alcohol, although sometimes they make an additional appearance. The headaches are constant and nothing helps. But they do go away and I remind myself itās part of the healing process and I never have to go through them again if I stay in recovery. Iām sorry youāre going through this, sending a hug

@Ofmiceandroach @Catmama23 All I can say is that they are common and they can be bad and until now there is little that can be done about it. Research points at mast-cells and the immune system thatās out of whack through quitting alcohol 
. But a remedy is yet to be found. It should end after not too long, like a week or so. Stay hydrated and keep going!

Day 2263.
Confucius say āa smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of otherā
Well maybe he didnāt say that but itās definitely true in so many ways.
No matter how smart something thinks they are it doesnāt matter when it comes to sobriety. If someone with burns on their hands tells you the stove is hot and you touch it anyway you have no one to blame but yourself when you get burned.
If someone with sustained sobriety doles out some wisdom it might do ya well to listen because they probably got the wisdom the hard way.
