This community here is amazing @Joyce19
I love being although a tiny but still a part of it. I don’t post that much I’m more a quiet reader but seeing the familiar names it’s just like listening to a friend.
I’m glad you’re here with us. :four_leaf_clover:

:joy: I feel the frustration and was going through a similar battle in my head. Hope you did manage some rest and are feeling better today :pray:t4:
@Scorpn noone is shaking their heads or judging your situation. We are all here for you and just want you to be safe. Sending strength and comfort to you. I agree with Alica that you should make sure he’s on the meds every day if he is to be staying with you. :people_hugging::pray:t4::heart:
@Joyce19 nicely done with your 1 week milestone :muscle:t4: :confetti_ball: :tada: keep up the great work
@Raspberry I totally get the feeling of wanting to feel alive and sometimes we need to feel the pain to know we are alive. This is no way to live. You are still early into sobriety and just finishing with the detoxing. Now the journey of finding yourself begins :hugs:. Explore things that sound interesting and find new passions in your life. Hopefully you are able to find something that gives you a thrill and makes you feel alive and gets you through the winter months :people_hugging:
@SoberWalker oh yeah!!! Great to hear…hope your foot adjusts quickly to not having that plaster on. Have a wonderful time tonight
@acromouse hope the coffee helped and you are feeling better :pray:t4: sounds like a nice set up … enjoy lounging and enjoying sunshine indoors :smiling_face:
@thirdmonkey wow! Impressive work :muscle:t4:. 9 months no caffeine is a game changer… great to see you stacking up the sober days too :confetti_ball::tada:
@Dilettante have a wonderful day :hugs: a lazy Sunday morning is always welcome
@Kitster welcome to the community!

Checking in on Sunday morning
Did get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. Feel like complete shit as I think all the sleepless nights are adding up. Not doing great with symptoms and pain either but pushing through. Gonna push myself to get in a walk today. Have taken a few days off and it’s feels like ages.
Gonna watch some football with siblings and BIL today. Hope it’s a low key kinda day.
Sounds like the change in weather has gotten a lot of people sick … wishing you all a speedy recovery and good health soon :pray:t4:

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day… sending you all so much love :heart::heart:

I used to sleep. The insomnia felt unbearable. I have to look into ways of helping myself with sleep. It didn’t overly help either.

Day 1. Yikes, feels terrible. That is why I’m here, to re work those sober muscles.

Yesterday was weird, I had a sore throat and swollen glands most the day. I took some Night Nurse and got nearly 8.5 hours sleep, despite blue being a total dick at 3am and walking all over me for “cuddles” :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:.

I Feel better today, wont is my way, to get colds and sickness for like one or two random days then feel absolutely fine. Bizarre. But yesterday was a little depressing, I’m not a good sick person at all, I start getting like a bear with a sore head. Today I got up and suggested a bit of a trot out. It was nice and now I’m mentally ok again as well as feel physically far better.

Lots of football today :ok_hand:t2::pray:t2: we got some interesting bits from the farmer’s market and I had a great time hanging out at the Jamaican sauce stall trying everything they had. Absolutely spot on spicing! :drooling_face::drooling_face::drooling_face::drooling_face:

Jerk Ackee ranch
Curry no goat sauce
Carolina reaper and guava.

All mine and I’m so excited to cook with them.

@Scorpn Hey, I wanna send you a hug first off! :people_hugging: Thankyou for opening up to us…! This relationship sounds much more toxic and serious than I think you realize… It’s domestic abuse! You don’t deserve that, nor should you have to endure it, we’re here for you ey, and just know that there are always alternatives and help :heart:

Day 994
Morning everyone! The time change here really threw me for a loop this morning. Thought i was running late for work. Thankfully this wasnt the case.

My client is away on a home visit so i had time this morning to tune in to an online sermon thru Elevation Church. Havent done that in many months. Really enjoyed it!! Started my day off on the right foot :slight_smile:

Just have to get thru work now, go home and do laundry, give my son a bath, and then relax. Tmrw is a new week (Mondays are my fav day of the week) and im looking forward to making some changes with regards to my health and spiritual wellbeing.

Have a great day everyone!
