Hello friends. Checking in 3y 2m 4d. Rainy day today. Feeling a bit sluggish, but hopefully the rain clears some of the wildfire smoke from the air here. Wishing everyone a good 24

Day 56
Work this week has been good, we have a family gathering this weekend and I will make it through sober 
. @JazzyS thats what my wife and I thought as well that itās a slippery slope back into it so I think holding off is my best bet,this has been hard enough I donāt want to do it again. Iāve been taking vitamin d3 b complex, magnesium, ashwagandha, and my other medication I feel like theyāre helping.
I canāt thank all of you enough for the advice and support

Day 3 completely AF after being told to taper down for a week as I had another seizure quitting cold turkey, ugh.
Iām shaking, sweating, vomiting and so so anxious. Iām so close to caving as I feel so poorly, just cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel 
Going to ask for some PRNs tomorrow to help, but I doubt the answer will be yes.
Any withdrawal advice is appreciated because I am crawling (and crying!) my way through this x

Well Iāve weeded the garden for all ten of us that share this block of flats . The man that owns the building decided to come out and help me 
( itās his responsibility but he doesnāt do anything unless I complain to letting agents) ā¦ Iām over complaining now I thought Iād lead by example instead

Congrats on reaching day three Indi. Please keep going and youāll never have to do it again. Do I understand right you are doing this on your own? And thatās the reason getting PRNās is improbable?
Iām wishing you strength and courage friend. Itās hard to give advice apart from what you already know I am sure. And without knowing you personally. Hydrate well, try to eat little bits, have some bouillon. Take your vitamins (thiamine especially, C, B-complex, maybe D). Is there a way to have your blood checked, your electrolytes especially? Can you take your own vitals and call for help when your blood pressure and/or heart rate goes too high?
Itās dangerous stuff but you are making it through friend. Keep going. Take care of yourself and use all the help you can get. x

Following your activities from a distance Iād say youāre bloody high on energy Laner! You got an incredible amount of stuff done in the last couple of days. Including your own health, your living conditions, and doing important work on educating your people on alcohol, something thatās never been done before I guess. Huge!!! Please take your time to chill and relax, youāve earned and need it. Hugs.

Thank you for this friend.
I do have an alcohol support worker, but she and my GP have never given me PRNs outside of hospital. I totally get the dangers associated with this, but good Lord, Iām suffering!
Luckily, Iāve only been sick once today, as severe dehydration has been an issue in the past. I have no way of checking my vitals, but Iām seeing my support worker tomorrow so will see if she can check me over.
Iām prescribed thiamine and vitamin B-complex thankfully, so take those as prescribed.
I feel better than I did yesterday, so Iām hoping the trend will continue. Just gotta keep pushing through it.
As you said, once and itās done (and I canāt bloody wait!)
I hope youāre well x

Day 198
Had a long, hot but good day. My new employee sent me kind of first schedule for the first weeks, much appreciated! They seem to have a clear plan and thatās what my work also stands for 
Took mum to the clinic in the next city to check her cancer (almost 5 years healed nowā¦) everything is fine! Used the waiting time for a car wash, click and collect at IKEA with some things for my rooms and grocery shopping at the Asian supermarket. For lunch we went to a Thai restaurant and it was decent! I ate rice like I wanted to eat rice (carbs still triggering, but I was okay with it).
Judging thoughts about my body were minimal today. I made a commitment in the morning. Had some shittalk about other people in my head, remembered my commitment and stopped. @acromouse I found a book about compassion by Pema Chƶdrƶn at bookbeat. I like it, itās easy to read somehow.
Workout yesterday, hop on the minute for a 45 minute stay with Yoga today. Still hot here and overcrowded pool is blahhhā¦ Will head there tomorrow in the early morning again.
No cravings.
There is a good german podcast called āsucht & sĆ¼chtigā that has a new episode. Will joyn this later.
Much love

I already posted on the you are missed thread but I wanted to check in today. Itās been a rainy day and we really need the rain, so Iām not too bothered but my head hurts from the pressure of the oppressive weather. Hoping for some relief tomorrow. Tonight I need to figure out some dinner with my husband and keep knocking out some house chores. Iām feeling down today but I will be okay. I will keep telling myself that. And keep doing the work.

All over today Iāve felt like the weatherā¦ just bla! Iām glad Iāll be going to bed soon, and tomorrow will hopefully be a better day. I finally didnāt go for a walk, instead I just lazied around on the couch. Now I feel guilty and unsatisfied! 
I was checking out gyms this afternoon, I need to get my butt moving again, and also socialize a bit! Maybe Iāll sign up to a new gym!

Iām with you on this! I think Iām feeling anticipatory stress with a visitor coming. It was rainy and I didnāt accomplish much at all. It is what it is and thatās okay with me.
