I get that sometimes, it’s like your brain is challenging you to swallow whilst thinking as opposed to doing it unconsciously. It’s weird and I never had it whilst drinking. Wonder if it’s to do with the unpicking of the unconscious mind we do when we withdraw our DOC

Its so wierd but scary at the same time. When swallowing its like that reflex is not there and the “swallow” gets stuck and wont go down and my mind tells now you will choke and die 
No spit or water goes down.

And congratulations on your 277 sober days.
About the beverages: I do like all different types of herbal tea too. And ginger of all kinds. Like tea or infused water etc I drink a lot of water and tea during the day and for some special occasions I go for a ginger beer or a bitter lemon at night.
I think there is a thread about sober beverages on here as well.
Good luck

Oooh, I hate PAWS. Hitting hard right now. Weak, fatigued, sad, disoriented, uncomfortable …. It’s miserable. I’m reading and writing, trying to lighten up, trying to push it away but I’m just going to give up and go to bed. Always the secret weapon nuclear option 
. I’ll try again tomorrow . Maybe I’ll watch my escape show. Thank you. Almost Day 27. I have no desire to drink. Better times ahead.

Day 770. A good round number to round out my weirdness.
This week I started taking an over the counter gummy vitamin for mood support since I tend to hum a little lower than others. I have had a hard time getting to sleep since I started taking them (which never happens to me) and in my husband’s words have just been “a little weird”.
I finally checked the package today and they provide 4x the amount of Vitamin D that is recommended daily not to mention what I am getting from my multivitamin.
After my husband found me brushing my teeth with my shoes fully tied but sans pants today I have decided to cut back my dosage. Who knows how much of that is new vitamin and how much is just me being a weird bird. Careful out there folks.

Geez, that’s wild. I know you have to be careful about taking too many of the fat soluble vitamins(A,D,E,K) bc they’re stored in your system much longer and can cause toxicity. There should be a warning on stuff like that bc if you aren’t deficient, there’s no need to take that much. Hope your weirdness returns to normal levels

Just checking in. Good day at work and Im really now getting to appreciate working outside of the home. Does it also have its challenges, yes. But I worked from home (mostly) for the last hmmmm…forever years, and I like having thebwork space/home space divide. Or at least Im appreciating it at the moment.
Dealing a lot with the lawyer today for the latest court date for my nephew. This next part is going to be very hard on my mom, and my nephew and I just want to keep hope and faith alive in all this somehow.
So grateful to be sober today. My little girl is still full of some attitude and anger since the March break. Not entirely sure where its from but her and I defs have less one to one time, especially that little afterschook window we used to have. Its a horrible feelibg when your child feels far away in their emotions; and is also simultaneously engaging in behaviour thats driving you bananas! I am straught terrified for the teenage years…but alas they are not yet!
Off to watch an episode with hubby then off to bed xo.
