Day 27, checking in. I took a long walk today in the nature and in the middle of the walk it started raining. I got wet but it was worth it. Now I’ve been watching series and thinking should I order pizza although I’m on a diet trying to lose weight. The struggle is real, haha! But I don’t have any (other) cravings which is good. Have a fabulous Sunday ya’ll!

Checking in day 159. Hubby just left for a couple days for a funeral. Thought to myself now I can sit back and relax just a bit. But “nooo”
Kitten would rather climb my bare legs then play with toys. 100 pound dog moping on the couch because she didn’t get to go with dad. Just like a friggin teenager. She even heaves loud sighs every few minutes. … I have kitchen work I must attend to but that does make me happy. I have to get to pool today as last few days we have had company and been busy.
I am thrilled with my sobriety. Very happy with current status of relationship with husband. Caught up on laundry and house still tidy!

If any newly sober person is reading please know from my experience a sober life is the best. It does get better. Don’t want to preach but having God or higher power has been the answer for me!

Pizza? I’m there. So nice to read your post! My first couple months ignored calorie intake. Now I am focusing on healthy eating and exercise.
There is time for all things. Not indulging your DOC is the first priority!

Have a great day!

Thank you for your message! You’re right, the priority in this early stage of recovery is just concentrating on sobriety, no matter what. My problem is that I’m too harsh to myself, I should learn some selflove and compassion towards me. Oh well, one day at a time. :blush:

Day 1324,

Checking in. Feeling some challenging feelings, trying to reach my intuition and staying out of flight, freeze, fight modus.

Have a good sober 24 :pray:

Feeling so much better this weekend. I know I did things yesterday to help me feel better today, and I’m going to do things today that make me feel better tomorrow, like not drinking for one. I’ve been realizing that I get locked in a routine and that that can make me feel depressed. I need to break out of that routine even if it is to do something small. Looking forward to finding out what that thing will be for today. Have a happy and sober day friends.

It’s always drama in this family.
That’s the main reason I want to live on an Island far far away, where you need a long flight, a long buss ride that takes day, a long boatride over a stormy sea with pirates, sharks, and maybe kraken, then a two weeks walk through a dangerous jungle, and finally you’ll need to climb a mountain to get to my house. :laughing:

Then I’ll probably will get some peace and quiet.
If it ain’t my side of the family that creates drama it’s my husbands side.
We try to stay away but it kinda creeps up on us anyway.

I do see you are handling it amazingly! Remember that island won’t have WIFI. We would miss you something awful. :grinning:
