165 days sober
Feeling some stress today. The new roof isnāt finished and am really hoping itās done before the snow comes tomorrow. Spent all morning bargaining with sellers to get the supplies I need. I managed to get the price down to 2 sheep and a lamb in the spring. It sets me back some but Iām just glad I didnāt have to come up with money on hand.
Am bunking another night at my friends place but hoping the repair can be finished tomorrow. The repairman said the whole roof needs replacing because of the damage so it was worse than I originally thought.
Tomorrow morning Iām supposed to have the online counseling session and my friend said she will give me privacy in her house during that. Hope it goes okay and Iām not too distracted by other things going on.

Honey, breathe! Wow I am in such awe of your courage and determination. Glad you have resources to get what you need for repair. Did outhouse weather the storm? Just curious. Try to enjoy your day. Good thing roof didnāt fall on any witches. (Wizard of Oz reference)

@1in8billion I am glad the meditation is helping. Glad you are being honest about your sobriety. It is easy to try and numb ourselves rather than deal with past traumas. Glad you are finding healthier ways to deal with em and to find more peace in your journey. Keep at it friend ā hopefully you have someone to talk to (canāt be easy when you are on the road so much). Having support is essential ā especially when you are trying to heal old wounds 
@acromouse Sorry you had a shitty night. Glad it helped to sleep. Not sure if you have already looked into it for your daughter but the migraines could be hormone related. Hoping today is a good day for the both is super hard you
@allswell Congrats on 2 weeks! Sorr you are feeling horrible. Giving up on alcohol is hard and the body will crave the sugar that we take away from all the alcohol. I know for me I needed ice cream for the first few months every night and then the cravings just went away. Donāt be too hard on yourself with the sugar (unless it is a medical issue). It does get easier.
@misokatsu Hope your day back at work goes well.
@jesile Ah hell that mind is fucking evil! Lies and false romanticization of our addiction. Does not help seeing others drinking happily. We donāt know how they are or arenāt doing. Most of the time its all lies. Glad you back on the sober path! Keep at it friend.
@laner Oh I do hope the roof gets taken care of quickly and that you do have a good counselling session tomorrow

Checking in, again!
This afternoon I went for a walk, my first thought was āno, Iām too lazyā, but luckily I gave myself a little kick in the butt, and finally went.
After that I had a nice bath while listening to an audio book. Tomorrow Iām back to work. The next booze filled tournament is this Saturdayā¦ 
I guess Iāll re-read āAlcohol lied to meā from Craig Beck this week.
I can honestly say I am so happy that my mom has found the apartment, this was one of our big headache factors, I know this was stressing her out, and now a huge lift has fallen of her, as well as my shoulders!

If that means you want to drink: donāt!!! And I also donāt believe that or you wouldnāt be here. You might be craving as drinking probably is the only coping mechanism you feel you have right now. Been there. Done that. But please donāt. Distract. Delay. Discuss. Drink water. Deep breaths. Donāt give in. It will kill you. I donāt think and feel itās your time yet friend. Hang in there Indi

Day 946
Happy Monday everyone! Having a decent day so far overall. Went to do a big grocery shop early this morning and then hit the gym. Just got home not long ago. Really struggled today with me comparing myself to others at the gym today. Idk what that was about bcuz i rarely do that. Anyway, i completed my workout and Im so proud that i pushed thru. Now just to tidy up the apartment and put laundry away. Thats about it for the day 
much love to u all!
