Day 69.
Nothing much to report, took a shower.
Prepping my therapist search and that’s about it.
New meds need time to balance in but that’s expected.
Take care everyone.

@lighter Lovely to hear that you had such an amazing experience. YEAH 1st sober trip 
Hope you are home safe and sound and resting from your adventure
@just_laura Hope that you were able to get a good nights rest and todays lunch crowd was easier. I did read up on why birds may chirp at night and it seems they are frightened or being threatened in some way and the chirping is a cry for help among the animals.
@scorpn Over 600 days and going strong So good to see you Renee. I do hope you have a wonderful vacation and enjoy your time off
@leveller Congrats on your 2 years of no smoking! Keep up the amazing work
@sunny11 Yeah double digits! Love that things are going well – keep going strong
@twizzlers Hope your MRI appointment went well and that you will get the results rather quickly. OOH the tunnels are completed – so lovely! You go on with your bad self! I’m sure the cats are in heaven and having a blast!
@catmancam Ah damn that is shitty for sure – I agree that I would have also checked my messages to see what was up if I was expecting someone to show up. Do not let that BS get you down friend (I know that’s easier said then done). You don’t need that kind of horseshit in your life. That is a full day of anxiety and I’m sorry you had to go through it. You have us and you have your safe soulmates. Hopefully as you heal you will be able to reach out to meet up groups and create more connections. I know many would love to be in your company and have your friendship. Much love dear friend 
@whereswaldo YEAH 80 days is awesomesauce! Keep it going strong
@sara.eve Oh dear Sara I am so very sorry to hear this news. 
Sending you so much comfort, love and hugs my friend. I wish I had better words to help you at this time. Here if you need a shoulder my friend. Please be gentle with your self and allow for your body and mind to heal and grieve
@bomdhil Thank you Thomas – you are so amazing yourself. Sorry you are feeling this way – no shame in relapsing when you are picking yourself up and working on self betterment. Day 2 my friend. You are doing amazingly well

@tailee17 Way to go with your triple digits friend. I totally understand the fear of a new addiction. Hope you are able to rest up and recovery quickly and with minimum pain
@vagabond great to see you on the check in thread. See you closing in on 5 days! Keep it going strong
@vanessa8 YES! 2 months! I too try and hold onto the nasty feelings of my last drinking adventure as the mere thought keeps me on the sober track. You should be proud of yourself – 60 days and counting
@Danwood85 Whats happening Dan – hope you are just keeping busy and enjoying life 
Checking in on Thursday evening.
Been keeping myself very busy today with doctors appointments and cleaning. I am hoping to be in bed by 10pm tonight (trying to regulate my sleep) LOL … Have a busy day tomorrow and will be working the Pride Festival so that will be fun and hopefully i will be able to keep up. I am still recovering from the Festival that just passed.
Ok - the sun just went down and its cooling off so i am going to take a nice walk to help me sleep … wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love

Tw: arguing/physically chaotic environment
Had to abruptly leave the house because family started screaming at each other/slamming/throwing shit
Its stressful enough just being around the screaming and being subject to the emotional mental abuse/manipulation but when Im hearing shit going on in the other room and things start to get broken/thrown/slammed/shoved over thats a lot of fun
Drove to a forest preserve and sat there for a while, now im just sitting in my car and idk wtf to do because i dont want to go back home, and even if I did, my mom is apprently in my room now using it as space so I dont even have that space to myself anymore. Or maybe I would but it would take energy/effort getting her out of my room, that I dont want to expend right now.
Y’all already know where this is going lmao. My mind’s on drinking. Still not as bad as the first week of cravings though, which is honestly pretty awesome. Still just on my mind. Fucking frustrating. Idek. I dont know what to do right now. Just gonna continue to sit here I guess.
Then there’s that part of my brain thats like “dude, I’ve gone 54 days with alcohol, I’m pretty sure I have it under control now. Just one day, then get right back to it. Easy peasy.” Stupid, I know. But part of me honestly believes it. And part of me also knows that day 1 is so much harder in terms of cravings, than day 54.

Ah hell that sucks Zoe…I’m sorry your home is so chaotic atm. Smart move to leave and drive to the forest preserve
54 days girl…that’s awesome and worth protecting. We never know if we do get another day 1 after a relapse (it’s not a given). You are right that day 54 cravings are so different than day 1… Also easier to navigate cause you have tools now. You have the poison out of your body and a clear head now. I do hope you can fight through the addict mind … drinking will not make this situation any easier to deal with
Much love and strength

Oh Sara I am so deeply aorry about your recent miscarriage. They are never an easy experience, and good for you for sharing.
It makes perfect sense you would be triggered right now, it is so physical, emotional and THE HORMONES that are slamming when this happens are so very powerful. I hope you are able to rest, give yourself some much needed self care. Just one day, sometimes one hour or minute at a time. You can do this sober, and in the end you will be glad you did. Thinking of you xo.

Hey all,
My before bed check in. Just want to say thank you to everyone for sharing, I love coming on here and being ablento read whats going on with you all and connecting that way.
It was a good productive day today, and just finished itboff by taking a splinter out of my sons foot while he slept. Pondering a lot onbmy children, as usual, and realizing how challenging it is to raise two beings at different ages and stages whos needs are so different.
Very grateful to be sober today. I had some (hopefully) good news that my nephew has been accepted to a residential placement, a home with 4 other children with similar needs, that is very close to where my mom lives. This means skipping the entire foster care process, whichvwould have been a nughtmare and for him to live in a supportive setting where his needs will be met. No option here is truly ideal, but I feel very hopeful about this placement…he will get to stay in the same school, his same therapy programs we already have him enrolled in and they are connected to the camp he already goes to and will be spending 4 weeks at this summer. This is HUGE and it is the result of the past 2 and half years of fighting, and I am just hoping and praying that this is the right thing or the best thing. They love for families to be involved, and he will be so close to my mom which is also an amazing thing. I know not to count chickens before they hatch, but I jist feel hope and a sense of breath wooshing through me that i have been holding for 2 and a half years. For today I am grateful, this is not going to be easy by any stretch but hopefully this will be a good thing in the long run for my mom, nephew and our family.
Xo.

Checking in at the end of day 26.
I was a little nervous about this weekend. I’m out of town with friends staying in an Airbnb. My friends are wine connoisseurs. They have a yearly pass to Builtmore Estate winery here in the states. Very serious about their wine. Anyway, I was worried about them bringing wine and me being tempted, so I practiced a few scenarios in my head. It turns out they didn’t bring any wine. They aren’t planning to drink this weekend! I couldn’t be more happier. Even though I prepared, I was still nervous and a little scared.
Have a good evening all.
