Im feeling much better today. Not so much physically but definitly mentally and emotionally. I saw something today on my way to work that really gave me a sense of gratitude for my recovery. Yesterday I was craving my DOC pretty badly but this morning i was reminded of how beautiful recovery is. I am grateful, grateful, grateful 
Today is going to be a fantastic day! I get to work and i get to spend time with my family. Not much else happpening other than maybe a few chores around the apartment such as laundry. Going to spend some time today revamping my eating and workout routine also. I feel like im finally getting my motivation back which is amazing! Hope everyone has a great day also!

Watched Stranger in my own skin last night, a documentary piece about Pete Doherty of the Libertines…a band I use to absolutely adore. Humble reminder about addiction. His wife filmed him over ten years for this piece. The brief addition of Amy Winehouse, another favourite of mine, in the documentary, was doubly sad.
About to watch England v Scotland in the six nations. Lasagne Ragu in the slow cooker for later. Desk packed down. Might catch a movie later or just go to bed and read. Nothing exciting going on here, but it’s enough.

I was hit with Insomnia last night. I tried from 20:30 to fall asleep, I’d been awake since 4:15am, but I didn’t end up falling asleep until nearly 3am this morning, then I didn’t wake up until 11am, so I missed half of this beautiful sunny day to break up the dull and rainy days here. Nevermind, I’m okay, just a little disorientated. I had a really bad nightmare so I was glad when I woke up. I’ve had a migraine all day so that’s not been great, but it’s not as bad now.
I have managed to read 33% of a new book though, and I’ve not long finished my “morning” routine, (it’s 7pm). So I’m pleased with that.
Now I’ve caught up here, and I am probably going to read some more, or look at some memes here, since I’m so far behind!
I hope you’re all having wonderful sober weekends.

Day 54. I don’t know if I’m depressed or something physical but I’ve been very tired. I also have pain throughout my frame is the best way to describe it that has been going on about 18 months. I’ve seen doctors, had 1 or 2 tests, tried meds and physical therapy and it has gotten better (or I’ve become used to it). I really wish I knew what it was. I don’t know whether to keep active as I’ve been doing or rest and hopefully heal. I can still do pretty much everything and once I get started I am ok. It’s the before and after that is painful. I would love to see an integrative specialist but am confident my insurance would not cover it. I know this from experience although sometimes it depends on who handles your claim or who you speak to. I’m working on cutting down my excessive sugar consumption and hoping that might help. Hopefully whatever it is, it will go away with time. It’s almost noon here and I am still in bed. It’s a nice day out and I owe it to myself to get up, get moving and get outside. I have nothing planned today but I have a few things in mind that I can do. Thanks for listening. . Wishing all a sober healthy day.

Checking in. Had some big mood changes throughout the day, but it’s better now. I’m really grateful for my buddy being here but it definitely effects my routine and makes me feel unbalanced, so I try to ground myself as much as I can.

Day 65 alcohol free. I still have no desire to drink, I haven’t dreamed of using. I haven’t had a mental relapse. I’m believing the medicine prescribed “Naltrexone” is working in my favor!
Never thought I would be in the space I’m in now.

Day 58 alcohol & nicotine free.
I haven’t checked in here for a few days, haven’t listened to any sober podcasts, haven’t checked out sober tiktok, haven’t read any quit-lit, haven’t done any exercise. I also cancelled my therapist.
Nothing bad going on, I’ve just been busy & getting on with a few things.
However, I had built up a nice little morning routine & my shifts at work were changed & it kind of messed the routine up. I need to get that back starting tomorrow. The routine just made me feel like I was on a better track.
As for my therapist, I only had 4 sessions, I was unsure of him in the sense that I didn’t know if I felt 100% comfortable opening up & on our last session he said some unprofessional things. I’m currently searching for a new therapist.
Tomorrow is a new day & I’m going to get up early & just straight into my routine
