I feel you. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed and tightly-wound that I canāt even be bothered to chew, let alone make food.
Supplements are good, but only tend to be absorbed properly if you have something lining your stomach.
Do you have any āpickyā foods? - Fruit, veg, yoghurt, stuff that you can grab from the fridge without needing any prep.
Make sure you have plenty of fluids; milk and juices can be highly calorie dense, and nutritious (just be careful with the sugar!)
Do you have anyone who can cook for you? Or order from a takeaway?
If all else fails, I just go to bed. Sounds like BS, but we all need a duvet day sometimes.
Sending you strength. Please take care of yourself.

Checking in on day 285 AF.
Today has been good. I had the first of my taster sessions of a woodwork class at my local community hub. I have been on the waiting list since November so thereās been a bit of a wait. I made a domino box style pencil case and was using machinery as well as hand tools. I feel pretty tuckered out after the level of focus that was required. Next week I start making a wooden drinking vessel. Iām looking forward to that.
We usually get takeaway food on a Friday evening so Iāve had a nice butter chicken with rice and naan and now Iām relaxing with a pot of rooibos tea.
I think Iāll sleep well tonight.
Wishing everyone an addiction free day.

Checking in day 32
Looking forward to a pretty weekend. Pollen is pretty bad right now. My husband has been drinking all day but is resting now. It is a death wish for him because he has cirrhosis, it is hard to watch. I am just trying to stay focused on my goals. Hope everyone has a nice sober evening.

Yes. I have a possible eviction after losing my job, after a major accident. Letās just say, all this stuff is new to me, and hard to take.

Days like this happen, they do for me anyway. Have you thought about the 30 day milestone coming up at all? Thereās something that is called milestone malady by some folks where feelings get heavy just before reaching one. I think our brains go on a bit of overdrive and a lot of emotions come up. Be kind to yourself and get through today, I betcha tomorrow will be better, but just taking things a day at a time as usual youāll get through it. Hang in there.

Day 67 AF
Good Afternoon TS Family
Keep going back and forth with my counter if I should keep adding the 187 days Iāve been doc free or just stick with the Alcohol counter as we know Alcohol is a drug. Since I will celebrate my one year God willing after being completely clean of all mood and mind altering substances I will stick to my alcohol free counter. ( Trying to not complicate myself too much)
Feeling ok today. Taking it slow. Giving time, time.
Blessings to you all!

You could always have two counters and post them both like other people do. It would matter to me to see them both, anyway (I have three counters, though Iām not as focused on them).

Checking in. Day 1 of not smoking. It went well so far, I had withdrawal symptoms but not so many, as I have been detoxing the last five days already (but still fell asleep two times during the afternoon). I worked quite a lot, had a great workout, and for the first time in like ten years I bought plants to the apartment to have a more spring-kind atmosphere. It took me by surprise that spring has come. I just notice that last year I didnāt realize the change of seasons at all, looking back it was like having the same cold and rainy day over and over again, and I somehow stopped believing that time moves on as I got stuck at a point of my past, so itās strange but in a good way that change is really out there.

I never underestimate the power of going to bed when the going gets rough! Some days just need to end. Sending you hugs and best wishes. Youāre walking through what really happens when you pick up. Not today, but when it escalates. Because of that first drink. Well done.
Sweet dreams!
