Adult recovering alcoholic with my own daughter had to move back home.
Iām sober in AA myself & teenage daughter had to move back home with my mom & grandpa. My mom is a social drinker but Iām pretty sure she has a narcissistic personality. If she is not complaining about something she has nothing to talk about. She talks to my grandpa like hes a child sometimes.
Anyway I love my mom & Iām very grateful to be able to be living with her & my grandpa. Im trying to save money to get a newer used car, & then save more money to be able to move out. Its looking like at least 2yrs to move out.
There is no spot in the house that is totally private, so me doing online meetings would be heard from whatever room I an in. Ranch house no basement. My daughter & I are sharing a room & weāre trying to give each other privacy & space but its very difficult.
Iām not trying to complain but this living situation was my reason to drink before I got sober.

Day 705
Well im almost 100% positive that I have patellofermoral pain syndrom (runners knee) in my right knee. What im doing to relieve the pain isnt working and so I made a Dr appt for Feb 6 (soonest I could be seen). I also bought some extra strength Voltaren gel to help. Im scared honestly. I dont want to have knee surgery. Im hoping that this can be fixed with exersices and maybe a brace or something. Im having to make some big changes to my exercise routine now. Im currently on the bike where u sit down and pedal. Just a like workout to leep my knee from getting stiff. And then ill do chest. Ill have to adjust my eating habits even more now because i wont be able to push myaelf as hard on cardio. Im annoyed at my knee but i HAVE to start listening to my body. Ive been pushing myself way tpo hard and overdoing it.
Today consists of exercise (which im doing now) and then home to clean. Thats it 
Hope everyone is doing well today

Checking on Day 10
The urges to use arenāt very strong, however the onslaught of emotions most certainly are but I will push through. Trying to silence my mind which is not easy to do.
Wishing everyone strength in their recovery today

Welcome to this wonderful place. I try to be involved here every day to keep my mind focused on the most important task I have right now. Not drinking. It seems to be helping so far.
Get lots of rest, and pamper yourself. Hydrate, get some snacks and good foods.
Glad you are here

Welcome back Hopeful. Sounds like some stressful circumstances you are dealing with. Life on lifeās terms I guess. No need to drink today though, it will not help.

Welcome and congrats on making it to Day 2. The urges will come but instead of fighting them accept them for what they are, just a thought. They donāt have control over your actions and everytime you let them pass, you get stronger. Youāre building your sobriety muscles. No matter how hard the day seems just know you can do it and you are worth it. Best wishes to you.

- Three weeks. I am tired of people in my group congratulating my number. I can say that here. I have been sober at 21 days hundreds of times - really.
Anyhoo, itās good. I am feeling brain and physically a wee bit better. I have had a couple of possible taste moments, and maybe some smells. No smoking, no alcoholā¦I need better choices with food but have zip in the way of $$. I will somehow get there.
Also, wanted to share that these crazy snow storms have brought 15-20 flocks/groups of turkeys and deer! I am not seeing coyotes or fox but they are out there ALWAYS. I canāt wait to get my chickens, and possibly a milk goat, or 5.

1257 days no alcohol.
722 days no cocaine.
237 days no vape.
2 days no binge-eating.
Today didnāt go as planned, I couldnāt sleep for the 2nd night in a row, because my Asthma wouldnāt settle, until 5:30am, then I slept through all of my alarms until 9:15am, so I didnt have time to do the wrapping or shower, before I was supposed to leave to go and meet my baby niece. Now Iām either going on Monday (if the water company turn up towards the start of the timeslot 8am-1pm), or Wednesday (I have a course on Tuesday). So that made me sad.
I couldnāt get back to sleep but I couldnāt function either, so I was just dozing I suppose, until 1pm. I eventually did my morning routine at 2pm and it took me until 15:30.
I did some meditations and not a lot else. I need to do all of my cleaning this weekend ready for the water company to come and investigate the leak on Monday. So I am hoping for a decent sleep tonight and some good energy tomorrow.
Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends.
