Freezing a lot, donāt know if I should consult a doctor about this once.
I have thoughts about if drinking isnāt okay from time to time, again. Discussion in my head.
Day 49
Good Afternoon Talking Sober family. Grateful for this day feeling motivated to keep moving forward. Grateful that I have no desire to drink or use today. Grateful my thoughts are positive and I am learning to reframe my story and turn it into that of a survivor instead of a victim.
Looking forward to starting step work this evening.
Have a strong and Serene 24 all!
Congratulations Mike. Feels good to earn and even better when you take care of your responsibilities first. So inspired by your perseverance! Keep at it!
Checking in on day 267 AF.
My 12 year old daughter is in a door slamming frame of mind. It seems that everything I do or say is the wrong thing.

Im feeling 100x better today. I woke up determined to be a healthier person. I was just tired of physically not feeling well and mentally/emotionally feeling bummed out about my health, so i decided to do something about it! I got to the gym this morning and it felt soooo good to exercise. I had a healthy lunch and now just going to clean up a bit before my son comes home. Grateful for my health and for my recovery
Checking in day 56 AF I have spent the day decorating this is something Iād have never done while drinking as i would have been hungover.

@Juli1 fight those thoughts, there is never just āfrom time to timeā for us. Iām having the same thoughts about foods I know I canāt have anymore, so I know how sneaky and intense they can be sending strength š©µ
1295 days no alcohol.
760 days no cocaine.
275 days no vape.
20 days no binge-eating.
I managed a bit better sleep last night, apart from waking up at 3:40am from an awful nightmare, fell back to sleep after some grounding at around 4:30am, then slept again until 7am.
Had and bath/shower combo, walked to the bus stop, caught a bus into the city centre, got a Starbucks, then went to therapy.
Therapy felt like I was in there for 5 minutes! I cant get over how quickly it went, Iām still shocked now! Spoke a lot about how anxiety has affected every area of my life, then touched on my first narcissistic abusive relationship that I was groomed into, starting from age 13, ending a few months before I turned 18, when I finally escaped, and how it has affected every relationship Iāve had since. More on that to come Iām sure.
Tomorrow I have my other therapy, that will be ending soon, maybe tomorrow, depending what comes up. I will let her know how my meeting with one of the guys she connected me with went, and how the other guy didnāt get back to me after his initial text, and my reply saying I was interested in any support he could offer around making safer choices, and weāll go from there.

Checking in. Today was ok, my anxiety about my buddy staying here faded away as I could reconnect with my daily routine. Itās good to be able to have nice chats throughout the day. Having a cat in the house is also something that grounds me. They are going to leave tomorrow noon, so everything gets back to normal soon, and Iām not sure how I feel about my ānormalā. It definitely feels more lonely and it comes with a lot more stress around living with my ex.
35 days weed free 2029 days alcohol free
Two hundred and ninety five whole days - tidy.
Day 408.
Today I went to a funeral. I didnāt know the deceased, he was an old friendās of my dad. Heās out of the country this week and if I didnāt go, my mom would have had to go on her own. So I left the safety of my sofa and went. God, his poor widow, she looked so tired and devastated. Absolutely heartbreaking.
To make matters worse, my monthly torture just started, which explains why Iāve been feeling so down lately.
Iām tired and in a lot of pain. But Iām here. And sober.
I did the same! Then I text my boss and told her sheās lucky Iām honest bc I almost faked sick. She told me next time take a mental health day if I want lol. I have the best of the best.
Hey everyone,
I woke up to the little reflection which sent me off on a rant. Ive decided to just digress and not do that lol.
Happy to be sober. Son is home sick so Im home for a few days, which is okay. Its kind of perfect me keeping myself as a supply, because the full tome hours are there when i want them and I can come and go as I need when i need to. That little bit of leeway goes a long way with mom me
Wishing everyone another 24. Things have been crazy busy, but in a good way i think. It feels like weāre moving. Xo
