You’re sounding determined- it’s tough to face everything in order to heal emotionally, while also making positive incremental changes for health. :people_hugging: I look forward to a better life. Even today is much better.

Thank you Jasmine. Eww. Things have become so clear it’s disturbing. I know I need to go through this but am ready to leave the abuse and trauma in the past soon. The people are gone from my life and new, good ones are appearing. Takes time. It’s still pretty raw so, for sure by :jack_o_lantern: I’ll be much better! Glad to hear you like Halloween too. :heart:I really look forward to crisp fall mornings! :maple_leaf:

Thanks @JazzyS @acromouse and @CATMANCAM. The negative thoughts from yesterday are gone and I feel much saner today. Much more peaceful. I’m still feeling a tiny bit under the weather but I can function okay. Working from home.

Hey all…made it to the gym tonight! I had a long stretch, did some weights, a quick run on the treadmill and then a sauna. It felt good. I hope I can build on it without the hangovers tripping me up and breaking my momentum. I ain’t been feeling great recently. I’ve had chronic gastritis for a few years, I used to get really bad flare ups that would leave me in bed thinking I was dying for a couple of days… alcohol, drugs, stress, bad diet, working too much…it’s no wonder my body was like naaa…I had a small flare up on Monday. I drank about 4 coffees and had a can of monster…I should know better…It’s the fatigue and brain fog I can’t handle…gym helped tonight. No more coffee or monsters…day 42 or 43 …hope you’re all well​:pray: Thanks for being there :heart:

I’m much the same Karen. Day 3 today. Walked past the bottle shop yesterday without too much stress but the test is always a week or so down the track for me. I think I still believe I can have the odd drink and keep it under control once I’ve abstained for a while! Time I faced reality!

2nd checkin today. I sold my second car today to try to save on the insurance money. After it sold, I called to cancel my policy and my rates are going UP, way up, for insuring one car instead of two. Ive been depressed about it but I can’t undo what’s done and unsell my car. I reached out to my sponsor and one other AA friend. Not happy today. I am trying to work but it’s been difficult. All I would need now is to lose my job! I can only control what I am able to and that is to do my best possible work. One day at a time. Just really struggling.

I had an alright day overall. Ran some errands in the early morning and then did a 1 hour cardio workout in the afternoon. Eating was good also. I have experienced some thoughts of using tho. The weather seems to be the trigger. But i always remind myself of what i could lose if I use… which is honestly A LOT. I also think I may have bronchitis which sucks. I have had this brutal cough for about 2 weeks now. Its effecting my ability to sleep as well as my husbands. I end up on the couch bcuz i dont want to wake him up. I bought some medication today bcuz i am in dire need of relief. I think I might make an appt with the Dr tmrw, although it usually takes weeks to get in to see her. Other than that, Im okay. Hope everyone is doing well also :butterfly:

Checking in 106 days sober. Staples removed from 2nd surgery. Incision healing well. Pain minimal if I behave and stay off feet. Last few days still dealing with daily numerous conflicts in relationship. Home now and continue to pray to God to help give me peace and wisdom in responding to negativity. Also pray that God will continue to give spouse empathy for my current disability. I am not giving up and will continue to do the right thing.

Modern times which suit me well. Going to a live show at my favourite venue and be home just after nine pm. And be in bed in time to have some rest before getting up at five am again. Lovely show BTW. Could have dropped into the main concert of the night but didn’t really feel like that. One show at a time for now.

Now just the one day of work. Followed by a three day weekend. Yay. Have as good a day as you can all. Make it sober and clean or nothing will come of it. I will. Love from outside Paradiso Amsterdam, with my first high school on the right.
