Hey Marie,

Similar thing here, I resigned due to being broken in every respect apart from work going well. Iā€™m fixing myself now before I reenter the work force again. My counselling starts 11th April, Iā€™m on new antidepressants and started a new walking regime. 90 days sober again for me today (had over a year previously). Iā€™m eating fairly well and with intention and trying to be kind to myself and practice sobriety every day.

Keep going. You are doing so well :+1:t2:

Thank you TragicF for sharing that. Sorry it happened to you too. Iā€™m here if you ever need a chat. Itā€™s kinda disorienting right now.

Hard to see it right now, but itā€™s probably going to work out for the best. I may leave the field permanently and become a park ranger! Who knows, I love the outdoors and really want to wear that hat to work every day :grinning:

Seems like you have a great plan and congratulations on your 90 days! Sober and strong

Iā€™ve mentioned it before. Iā€™ll tell anyone who asks
ACUPRESSURE JUST LIKE ACUPUNCTURE but self administrative
It takes time. Study and lots of patience for it to be effective
Lookup acupressure on the internet and find one that suits your best and makes sense.
I get much relief
It is usually a hand or ear. Take your time, your body will tell you if your doing it correctly

I havenā€™t been here for a long time but iā€™m still sober! been having my own health issues as well as my mother, so been focusing more on them. but still staying strong in my sobriety!

Went to meet a friend after she finished work, but they kept her on for longer. she works at a bar but knows iā€™m trying not to drink, so she kept making me mocktails which i was super grateful for!

Got up early and ready to head back to school since spring break ends todayā€¦then I realizedā€¦today is the LAST day of spring break so I just drove there for nothing :smiley: we go back tomorrow :sweat_smile: I guess I get to start my day early lol. Unfortunately after I made my ā€œidk if I can do thisā€ post I relapsed yet again and blacked out so bad that I woke up throwing up. I guess I needed another reminder of how horrible drinking isā€¦Iā€™m on day 3 AF and I donā€™t blame you if you think I sound like a broken record. I heard a video of a guy saying alcoholics or addicts who say theyā€™re done for good truly believe they are at that time they arenā€™t trying to fool anyone or themselves, itā€™s just that the addiction usually catches up to them. Iā€™m committing to this. I want to get in shape. I donā€™t want to be embarrassed or ashamed anymore. I want to be healthy. I want to be proud. I am fully putting my faith in my God and taking steps to better myself every day. Hereā€™s to another day being productive and sober.

Congrats on day 3 Laine
I was listening to the AA Grapevineā€™s Podcast a few weeks back. And they were talking about the brain and relapse and how sometimes it just takes time for the brain to catch up to being sober. And each time you try the brain gets more use to it. Sorry I canā€™t explain it like they did. But itā€™s a pretty good podcast if youā€™re interested. If you never give up that broken record will get repaired. Glad youā€™re here.

Nice to see you Jenny.
Buying a home and moving is so stressful. Iā€™m in the middle of it too after we closed a couple of weeks ago. Not to mention the rest of life coming at me. Itā€™s so stressful. Keep lurking. Whatever it takes. Iā€™m glad youā€™re here.

Just checking in to say whats up! Itā€™s Wednesday but feels like it should be Friday :thinking: A couple of decent snow falls here which just makes everything feel harder the older I get. Oh well spring is right around the corner :partying_face: Hope everyone has a good day and letā€™s continue to do the damn thing :muscle:

I :heartpulse: this. All of this! I know the wanting to fast forward, but there is so much learning and relearning that happens. In retrospect, I can appreciate the good and not so sunny times for what they are, living our life on lifeā€™s terms and all that comes with it. I wasnā€™t living before. One day at a time!
