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 weāre 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 
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 
xo.

Day 3 
Wow, so glad and relieved to just know things are going to get better - Iām already feeling and seeing it.
Iām so glad my relapse was every few days over 3 weeks, and not 2 yrs like my last one.
I am really keeping positive and trying to stop the negative chatter in my head. Like when I get anxious about going outside to do gardening Iām trying to channel my thoughts to the enjoyment il get out of it.
Instead of getting into a panick or over thinking or even telling myself oh I canāt do that il have a panick attack - Iām telling ng myself oh that would be nice to get out plant those seeds, oh that will feel great when you have done that, oh wouldnāt it be nice when you do this. Instead of I telling myself I canāt, and all the negative thoughts Iām thinking of the actual activity and enjoyment it will bring being productive.
In a shorter version basically Iām telling myself, I can and I will instead of nope your not going to do it. Facing my fears head on, preparing for the worst that would happen if I go outside etcā¦ have a plan just incase it does and go for it. (Usually my thinking is over dramatic and nothing I thought terrible happens).
I also know Iām still the person I built up to be, who I was 3 weeks ago, before my relapse, but I also realised that she relapsed, I relapsed and Its good Iām still in that place to bounce back, but I need to think what I can do better this time because I was struggling and Iām still on ice.
So yh not sure if any of this makes sense, but I must keep communicating because I know for a fact It works.

13.5 days - weāre racing forwards to 2 weeks! Woo hoo!
Feeling much lighter today, and Iāve noticed that I wake up every day thinking āIām glad I didnāt drink yesterdayā!
Had an amazing meeting with my union about work - work have been absolute bastards for the last year and have been refusing to pay me whilst Iāve been off; now they have to pay me in full and backdate everything!
My advocate said how much brighter my skin looks, and how much happier I look.
Went food shopping and fully stocked my fridge up. I literally havenāt used it in the last 6 months because I would never eat when drinking, but Iāve done a deep clean and now itās stocked with meat, veg, fruit and cheese!
Iām thinking of a lovely lamb dinner, chicken and sweet potato curry, cheesy spinach and mushroom pasta, and guacamole for this week!
Also did my washing, took the bins out and vacuumed, which I never did while drinking. Iām really starting to feel like me again, and I honestly thought Iād never get her back.
Gotta go back up to the shops later to buy a new phone charger and energy drinks (a vice, I know! But not as bad as alcohol). Itās lovely and sunny here, I feel so relaxed and happy!
Have a good day all!

Oh my god, thatās horrendous! Good attitude to have, but what disgusting claims they have thrown at you!
Always vent here, if you need to. Thatās a lot to take on by yourself.

1320 days no alcohol.
785 days no cocaine.
300 days no vape.
45 days no binge-eating.
It took me from 6am to 10:30am to get ready, I wish my brain wasnāt like this, it wouldnāt let me get in the bath until I only had an hour before I needed to leave. Much to my frustration and despair. Then it took me a little while to battle the anxiety about the drive to my brotherās house, but I got through that too, and eventually, I was on my way, on time.
It was such a nice visit, even though my SIL labelled it as a ābad dayā (baby niece was tired but wouldnāt nap, so there was lotās of crying, bless her). I suggested going for a walk, so we did that, baby was quiet but still no closed eyes.
It was so nice to be able to talk to my SIL, weāve always got on well, but these days thereās always other people around when we see each other, and my 5yo niece of course, so we donāt get to catch up like we did today very often anymore.
Iāve caught-up here, now Iām planning an early night, so I can get into action on cleaning the flat this weekend. That is my sole mission for this weekend, so Iām hoping to activate hyper-focus, and get it done, bit by bit, with short breaks.
Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends.
