4th weekend waking up sober and Day 23.
Digging it all 
No real cravings, been a pretty straightforward journey so far considering the years of alcohol abuse I’ve endured.
I have a fairly massive bar and specifically whiskey and scotch collection. I’ve been thinking on it lately as to its future. It doesn’t bother me to see it as I’m not drawn at all, but do I keep for guests (we get a lot being on edge of ocean and two spare rooms overlooking the water and many friends that live across the country). People partaking when I’ve decided not to has never been my issue, if anything it gives me greater resolve. If I say “no” well most know me to mean what I say. I don’t usually get much pushback.
Hitting the gym this morning, work in garage for a bit then relax after two very late nights at the rink. Perhaps some reading, nice shower and early to bed. Well that’s the plan, STC at any point.
Wishing you all a relaxing Sunday.

Day 714
Woke up not wanting to go to work. I just cant seem to catch up on my sleep. I was feeling sooo tired today 
BUT… in all reality, i am grateful that I have a job to go to and that I get to go to work and help provide for my family.
Started getting ready. I guess I wasnt fully awake bcuz I spilled coffee grinds all over the counter as I was attempting to make my latte. Then while I was cleaning that up, I hit my head on the corner of the cupboard door that I left open. Ugh haha. All i can do is laugh about it. Hope my day improves. Hope everyone elses day goes well too!

It’s for anyone who is affected by anyone’s addiction of any kind. It was started my Lois. Bill W.’s wife. They guy who started AA. Now You can even go to Al-Anon if you were brought up in a dysfunctional family. It does not have to be about alcohol.
And there is also CODA Twelve Steps - CoDA.org
it’s for people like you and me who might be codependent on other people’s behavior. Like we only feel good if our loved one is doing well. There’s lots of on line info on this stuff. And meetings.
And there’s Al-Ateen for children of addicts.

Well, @Naomi , you are correct! Today marks my 200th day in a row of sobriety. Thanks for noticing. My heartfelt thanks to TS for helping me get this far.
@Jules000 , I totally understand what you are going through. I’m going through the same thing with my husband. @Dazercat has been very helpful and supportive as I too struggle with how I am handling it.
I recommend the same thread he did, it’s where folks in this situation can vent and support one another.
Keep at it friends, much love to all.

Day 75. Had a very good evening with my girls yesterday, took some baths and listened to music, wouldn’t say there was any to stressfull situations. Everything was good and we went to bed about 10 o’clock. Cuddled Addie rose and autumn cuddled in with grandma. Today we’re up, and I’m gonna cook something to eat. Then they want to bath again lol, mostly just sit in the warm tub and goof off. Then they will be going with there mom at some point. But will have good times while we can. Much love everyone

Day 125 no alcohol. Yesterday we had a family day with my son and his family. We went bowling, then had supper out. There was a bowling birthday party for one of my grandsons friend. So some of us bowled while we waited for him. He is 7 so we did not want to just drop him off.
Then we celebrated my D-I-L’s birthday. I was so grateful for the family time! Have a great day everybody.

I feel like I need to unload a bit here. It might make me sound a little crazy and I try to be positive in my updates but I’d rather get it out than keep it in and let it fester.
I am at the end of my rope. My symptoms are just as bad as they were 2 weeks ago before spending all this money to get tests and treatments. I can’t see my doctor for over a month. Last night it was so bad I couldn’t fall asleep. I got so angry I banged my fists into my legs and now I have bruises. I have a bad habit of wanting to feel pain when my stress is too much. I got down on my knees and asked the universe to please not give me anything more to deal with. Then my wife came over and asked why I was crying and I guess she decided that would be a good moment to unload all her stress from the past 5 months onto me. We got in a huge fight. I managed to sleep a little and dreamt she left me and that I came home and found all of her things gone. This morning we talked it through and kind of made up but I am feeling a strange detachment, like I don’t feel anger towards her but I don’t feel love either. I don’t feel anything. Is this normal to feel emotionally blank in early sobriety? I’m scared because I don’t want “I don’t care about anything” to turn into “I don’t care about sobriety.” As of now I still have no desire to drink or anything but I don’t care about healing either.
Anyway I just wanted to get that out. I really hope this feeling of no feelings passes soon.

Way to go @Lisa-B on 30 days!! I liken early sobriety to getting your land lands or a toddler learning to walk as i navigated a life without coping with addictive behaviors
