Checking in daily to maintain focus #66

38 days sober :blush: today has been a bit better than the past few days but Iā€™m still not feeling myself. I didnā€™t sleep well last night again and have been anxious all day but I feel more hopeful. I have felt so all over the placeā€¦one day happy and doing great the next wrecked and feeling terrible. I know things can get better. Iā€™ve read a lot of you write that it gets better after being sober for a longer period of time or something like this. But I also know I need to face my past again but I donā€™t really know how to do that in a healthy way anymore. Iā€™m just so tired. I want to be better, healthier in how I deal with things but really donā€™t know what to do. If I lived in the west Iā€™d probably get counseling again but thatā€™s not possible here. And I canā€™t afford online counseling which is frustrating. I looked into it today and couldnā€™t believe how expensive it is! :scream: Iā€™m really afraid of my ptsd getting worse. Guess I feel a bit lost in my thoughts and in my past.
Iā€™m still not homeā€¦maybe we will leave tomorrow. I feel safe up here away from temptation and a bit glad for a few days of isolation but also so glad my friend is with me.

Weā€™re gonna have to get you a mobility aid, sir. Me too, haha. Itā€™s really amazing how fast I can walk with a shopping cart now! :laughing: Iā€™m hoping I can reverse what decades of drinking did to my knee joints. Some of it, anyway. Happy Sunday, friend!

Day 74 Sober. Happy Motherā€™s Day to everyone. My mother passed away when I was young. I would search every year after for Motherā€™s Day card for Dad. Hallmark always came through. Although you may not have children I am sure you have many motherly qualities with pets and other peopleā€™s children.

Enjoy a loving sober day my friends.
