Day 27

Freezing a lot, donā€™t know if I should consult a doctor about this once.

I have thoughts about if drinking isnā€™t 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!:pray:t5::yellow_heart:

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 :pray:

@Seb congrats on 2 weeks :tada:
@CleanHeart Iā€™m so glad your convo went well and your wife is supportive šŸ©µ
@Just_Laura my full moon shifts in the childrenā€™s homes I worked in used to be extra ā€œfunā€ :sweat_smile: and I do notice my own mental health gets more intense too, I donā€™t think youā€™re a lunatic :blush:
@acromouse congrats on 2 weeks no overeating/binge :tada: feel better soon šŸ©µ

@Tragicfarinelli congrats on 60 days :tada:
@Juli1 fight those thoughts, there is never just ā€˜from time to timeā€™ for us. Iā€™m having the same thoughts about foods I know I canā€™t have anymore, so I know how sneaky and intense they can be :people_hugging: sending strength šŸ©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, Iā€™m 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 Iā€™ve had since. More on that to come Iā€™m 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 didnā€™t 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 weā€™ll 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. Itā€™s 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 Iā€™m not sure how I feel about my ā€˜normalā€™. It definitely feels more lonely and it comes with a lot more stress around living with my ex.

Day 408.

Today I went to a funeral. I didnā€™t know the deceased, he was an old friendā€™s of my dad. Heā€™s out of the country this week and if I didnā€™t 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 Iā€™ve been feeling so down lately.

Iā€™m tired and in a lot of pain. But Iā€™m here. And sober.

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 :slight_smile:

Wishing everyone another 24. Things have been crazy busy, but in a good way i think. It feels like weā€™re moving. Xo
