Congrats on your 2 days back at it Naomi . Glad to hear you didn’t go out on a binge this weekend and chose to stay sober with us here instead. You can do this ODAAT.

Good Morning everyone,
Today is Day 10.
My mindset is good so far and I’m going to drink lots of coffee before taking on today
Im going to focus on some food prep/ baking for the kids lunches and snacks for the upcoming week.We are going to my Dads house for dinner tonight for a late Christmas thing. Visiting my Dad is always a little tough and very awkward. He wasn’t around much when I was young and don’t really have any connection or bond but he has an interest in knowing my kids so I endure sitting quietly while he talks sports with my husband and He and his wife spoil my kids….
I hope everyone has a great sober day and I’m sure you’ll see me on here at some point again throughout the day.

Good for you! I love your mindset. 
Day 4 clean today.
In the midst of withdrawals but going to go about my day.
Need to put some batteries in my children’s basketball net and will spend the morning doing some chores after eating.
Need to go grocery shopping. Will also clean the car and do the laundry.
If I have time will cook some thing nice too.
Then work at 4pm.
Just feeling tired and down a little but I know these feelings will pass.

Glad you are having great start to your day. Mental health is such a tricky thing but I’m glad you are choosing to take it in stride and enjoying the good moments between the tough ones.

Day 3 here! Small victory but I’ll take it. Just woke up, checking in first thing in an attempt to set myself up for success today. Probably going to go snowboarding today, yesterday I did some organizing, it was nice to walk downstairs and see a semi put together room and now have to look at a mess from last night.
Have a wonderful day everyone.

Day 310
Very rough night of insomnia. I would wake up every hour in a cold sweat with weird anxiety/flashbacks. Still processing some bad stuff sometimes, it’s ok! I feel peace returning again. 
I was starting to worry about how distressed I was, but it always passes. I wish I was all recovered but I’m recovering ! Today looks brighter. Trauma recovery along with alcohol recovery will take time. I was moving forward in my life and I still am. I have fears that I’m not going to be able to handle a full return to life and work but I can. Already on my way. If I get the odd night of nightmares it’s ok. Used to be every night. I can function. This week I’m joining a local non-profit as a volunteer, adding to my first gig. Next will be a paid job. Each step feels like 2 inches but I will take it 
. It will all get sorted, probably sooner than I want 
I’m ready.
@Chevy55 congratulations on 1 year!! I’ve been here the whole time nearly and it’s great to celebrate with you 
@Philipwithonel Phil I saw one of those trucks nearby, way south US. They’re loading up to take care of the highways next week. Sure appreciate all of you! Thank you
Have a great day- need to get some exercise and do yard stuff before the cold blast.
See y’all

Checking in on Day 107. Turns out my cold was covid, feel terrible as spent so much time with family over the past couple of weeks (preparing food etc.) I thought it was just a cold that I had caught from them in the first place (may explain why they haven’t caught it from me I suppose). My husband did a test after he came down with it too and lost his taste and smell.
It does explain the fatigue and why even short walks have been a struggle. Trying not to spiral into guilt as at the moment people look clear. It is so hard to get the balance right between carrying on and not exposing people, particularly at Christmas.
Rambling on now, sorry. I hope everyone has a good day, and those in the north of england enjoy the snow.
@Chevy55 massive congratulations on 1 year!

9 months sober!!!
Busy but nice day here. We haven’t been able to meet on Sundays very regularly because of some complicated things here. I was bummed out that we couldn’t meet again today but I listened to an old sermon with a friend and enjoyed this.
Then had a hike with a friend before coming home to rest some. Tomorrow I’ll get back into my work routine and am looking forward to this. I had a good break…spent most of break sick but I’ve also been able to relax and do some nice things.

I had good food, but I feel overaten and hungry at the same time, like mostly since 2 months or so.
