Checking in on day 2.

No urges to drink by myself, which is a really good sign. Seems like I only mess up when Iā€™m with others now, which is a massive difference.

Taken the morning after pill but have been advised that it wonā€™t be as effective as I got it 36 hours afterwards and my medication reduces itā€™s effectiveness. Great. So now I definitely have to take a pregnancy test in the coming weeks.
Spoken to my ā€œfriendā€ who was ā€œshocked that this could happenā€ and that itā€™s ā€œthrown him in a loopā€ - canā€™t tell you how many times Iā€™ve rolled my eyes at that one :roll_eyes:
I think heā€™s lying about certain things as, although I blacked out and canā€™t remember much, my account of the night doesnā€™t match up with his, and he certainly seems to know a lot more than me!
Havenā€™t gotten my stuff back as I didnā€™t want to see him and told him that I needed space. Heā€™s said heā€™ll be ā€œsupportive regardlessā€ of what happens or what I choose; I donā€™t think he understands the gravity of the situation.

Shame on me, shame on him.

Iā€™ve been having constant panic attacks since and have been advised by my GP to start vitamin d and folic acid supplements, ā€œjust in caseā€, and I think reality has cracked me over the head with a hammer.
I feel sick and sweaty and completely out of control.

Ugh. Just ugh.

No, itā€™s AI generated based on a description of me and my dog as I didnā€™t want to put my face out there.

Hereā€™s a real pic of the good boy:

Heā€™s gorgeous. I had a good boy that looked just like him. Heā€™s still alive but my ex got him when we split up.

Day 11 :heavy_check_mark:

Well, I woke up first thought was I want to drink and donā€™t want to wake up to the world yet. Soā€¦ I grabbed my swimming bag and just went. Feel like a completely different person :grin: All the things that were bothering me seem less annoying and Iā€™m my face.
Took Polly out for a lovely long play and she absolutely loved it.
Going to cook some fish this evening and then watch 12 monkeys (I think thatā€™s what itā€™s called) and relax with the fur babies.
My energy inside feels like itā€™s been given a burst of healing and I am grateful for it.

Itā€™s so good to read youā€™re back on the sobriety train, Indi. To me, it sounds like your ā€œfriendā€ took advantage of the situation. Maybe he insisted you start drinking with him because he knew thatā€™s the only way heā€™d stand a chance with you.

Hopefully youā€™ll be fine with the morning after pill even if you took it a bit late. Theyā€™re supposed to work for up to 72 hours so fingers crossed.

And one last thing, please donā€™t think Iā€™m judging you, you havenā€™t done anything I didnā€™t while under the influence, but you should really consider getting STI screening in a couple of weeks from now, maybe a month or so. My local sexual health clinic used to do a post service where they would send everything you needed to take your own samples at home, send them to the lab, and then the results will arrive by text. It was all on the NHS, you can check if you have any similar services in your area?

Oh, just remember that weā€™re putting our click forward tonight. And will loose an hour for daylight savings time.

I belong to those people who think we should have constant winter time. I need my extra hour.

Awwwww :hugs::hugs:
Please try to not worry yourself sick :heart:
The chances are the pill will work. They wouldnā€™t give it to you if they thought it wouldnā€™t and would then be harmful okay :people_hugging:
Try to be easy on yourself, thereā€™s no shame you should feel - we all have made mistakes we regret and wish we could go back and change.
Please be kind to yourself :sunflower::sunflower::sunflower:
2 days is brilliant, your pushing through. Donā€™t keep your mind in a dark place, your doing good.

Well done for getting back in the pool! Does wonders for your mental health. Thereā€™s something about water immersion that feels so right.

12 Monkeys is excellent. If you havenā€™t seen it, youā€™re in for a treat :blush:

Oh itā€™s brilliant thatā€™s what I look forward to in the evening watching a few episodes - maybe a whole season even hehe. On last episode of season 1.
Oh yes the pool was amazing. Canā€™t wait to go again.
Thank You :blush:

@Lighter Thank you too

Itā€™s so nice to see us all together pushing through each day :sunflower:

No judgement taken at all! Youā€™re 100% right.
I did discuss it with my GP and have been referred forward, so all of that will be sorted.

I just feel very used and scared :frowning:
