Day 74 AF
Day 192 doc free

Thankful the end of the week has come. Thankful although I had a lot of triggers and felt like drinking which would lead to using I didn’t. Using my tools instead. (Calling Sponsor, praying, journaling, meditatinh, calling recovery friends, reading on here)

Again surrendering and accepting living life on life’s terms. Went to.my home group yesterday. Signed up to chair on May 2nd. A part of service. I am amazed by a lot of the hound women and men in my area you are in the program. I know if I choose that route years ago my life would be different, but again not looking at the past just a thought. Anyway I am thankful I am in recovery now. Not dead, or in jail and am being restored to Sanity for which I am truly grateful and excited about the beautiful life that awaits me and my children as I conyon this journeyšŸ™šŸ½

Going to take it easy today. Have a few telephone appointments and will be doing Step work.
We are supposed to have a snow storm this afternoon as well but like @Frank68 mentioned it’s all balancing out as we haven’t had much of a winter.

Strong and Serene day my friends. :purple_heart::pray:t5: Happy 24

So huge Laura. Congratulations seems small in comparison to the work you’ve done, but I say them with awe and amazement of how far one comes when they realize what they want in life.

Day 77AF

I was beginning to wonder why my body battery (a tracker on my watch) never seemed capable of getting past 75% upon waking in morning.
Well last nights sleep, which I didn’t think was all that fantastic, good, but I didn’t think great, racked up an 85/100 in sleep quality (which is higher than usual) and 91% body battery.:low_battery:
That’s about 11% higher than i typically have seen.

One night does not mean anything really, but it gives me hope that my healthy eating, living and sobriety is all starting to work in unison and show in my stats.

Wish you all a healthy and a happy day TS peeps. Be well! :heart:

52 days free from alcohol

Yesterday I reflected 2 things.

  • I am stronger then I think.
    If somebody would have told me last summer that 1. I quit my job 2. My father died 3. I moved and had to move again cause of technical unsolvable defects and be attacked verbally by ugly old men…
    I would have thought I couldnt stand it.
    But I can. Yes, I can!

  • I am free…
    from ugly feelings in the morning after drinking. And after nonsense sex. This feeling of being so lost and ashamed. Not necessary anymore. This is huge. It was SO terrible.

Day 21- Happy Friday.

Happy to have my weekly milestones on Fridays. I don’t miss drinking. Finally got a good night’s sleep again :slight_smile: I feel so much better overall when that happens. I’ll store this information for next time—just wait it out. Early days.

Deer and turkey standing in my flower beds staring at me. I’m not going to feed either one of y’all and the plants don’t taste good because I did that on purpose. They will find a nicer house to raid. :grinning:

So happy to be sober today- enjoy your day and I’ll see you later

4 days and 7mins… blah. Today Im exhausted. Yesterdays shift was a dumpster fire in a whole and at the end of my shift a patient decided to try to meet jesus on a different unit, thankfully emt got there before we were in full cpr mode. Something that would normally have me drinking at least a glass of wine by the time I got home to relax. I didn’t want to drink, still in self loathing mode for now so thats helping my sober status. Still having anxiety filled insomnia even though my body and mind are spent. Then waking up to agonizing cramps and unable to get the pain under control for over 2hrs…barely slept before the alarms were ringing and SO was grouchy when he left for work. Smh…

So question for the ladies… do you react worse to alcohol near your cycle? I feel like looking back at all of my worst moments of drinking, blacking out, fights, etc. It always lands when hormones are raging. Idk if I necessarily drink more on those events or for some reasons hormones make it way worse. I know I get in a real mood days before so Im sure that just feeds the alochol induced rage. I also feel like Im getting worse with age, maybe menopause is creeping in…one could only hope :joy::joy::joy::joy:

Day 128, up and at work having a good day. When i was 22 years old i was at a party and that night a boy went missing and has never been found, we were all questioned by police and alot of rumors were started. This morning i woke up to a screen shot of this lady posting about the incident and stating i was there, which she is right i was. But she is saying i started a fight with her son, and that i also raped her daughter. All for social media to see, im Honestly not even bothered by it. It doesnt hurt my feelings, it doesnt make me mad. People can say and think what they want, the only thing i have control over is my actions. Im gonna stay as cool as a cucumber and be happy im here alive and sober today. Much love everyone have a wonderful day

Just wanting to check in, been a busy few days! So happy to be back at work.

Hubby and I had an argument, which is not what the argument was about. You know those? Im just so grateful we’re openly comnunicating, as we go through this long journey of healing from all we have been through these past few years. He is my guy, and Im so grateful for him.

I have to tell you all I had a using dream, where I drank and what I remember from my dream is having to come on TS and post about it :face_with_peeking_eye: it makes me chuckle a little still thinking of it, and I am SO GRATEFUL to be sober today.

Wabting to free myself of resentment, fear and guilt. Working on these things. Keeping my side of the street clean, and hope to have healing around my dad. I love him very much and persobally I felt so much tension and anger with him after my sister died. Deserved or not, it does not matter to me anymore. I love him for who he is, I accept him for who he is and I hope he feels the same for me.

Xo. Daughter is home sick and hubby is off for a boys weekend at the cottage. Hope he has a good time, and me too with my kiddos :slight_smile: xo.
