Checking in daily to maintain focus #64

Hi everyone :wave: . Reading your brave, honest updates gives me hope and is really helping me remember I’m not alone in this seemingly impossible fight. I’m so grateful for all of you and hope I can check in properly soon. I admire you all so much. I can relate to many, many things you all share.

Hi there Jenny, have you tried Breath work when you become overwhelmed?

Thank you for replying, I think that would work normally. I used to listen to YouTube relaxation videos so will try next time. I have a bad cough at the moment so can’t do it right now. I have turned off all the lights (9pm here) and just slowly started to relax. Just closely following here and feeling better. Really pleased as it hasn’t actually taken that long and now I have just ticked over to 4 days sober.

Thank you :blush:

58 days AF
2nd late-night checkin

I just need to add, that I could suffer from the situation I was thrown into with the apartment and the bastard, but, yea maybe I do suffer a bit. But I have some kind of thought control and resilience I didn’t have before.

Love you guys :heart:

Still flashed from an overall flowy swim with astetique artful underwater tricks someone showed me :heart_eyes::sweat_drops: (and it wasn’t a turtle :sweat_smile:)

Can you get the Plan B pill? I know it won’t fix everything, but at least you wouldn’t have to worry for a month :people_hugging:

Hi all. Checking in again. It has been a long while. Ive been doing good. But unfortunately have fallen off the wagon again. I did so well for months. I am so ashamed and upset with myself. Did many silly things while drunk. I thought I had better start my daily check in again to stay accountable. I hate this feel :disappointed:

So true. I think just getting past that initial guilt on day one is so hard. But I need to move forward and stop playing the victim.
