Im having a really productive day today. Maybe pushing myself a little too much. Got my workout in, did some grocery shopping, and did tons of chores around the apartment. Still plugging away at that. Just taking a hydration break now :droplet:I made sure to pray to my HP this morning also. It helps me to have a better day! Im feeling quite a bit better than i was yesterday. Feeling more connected :slight_smile: Not much else to say right now. Going to get back to my cleaning. Have a great Monday everyone!

Thank you. After last night I finally went this afternoon. Doctor said it’s bvp. Benign paroxysmal vertigo in my left ear. He said it should go away. Prescribed some meds and see if it gets better. Need to hydrate better

You are worth more than that, @StacyAnn . It’s objectively good that you won’t let people (re: men) treat you that way. :fist:

Hope you feel better soon. I was just thinking humorously when one quits drinking that doesn’t mean all liquids! Lol Drink lots of water my friend.

Home after work. I teach four classes, so it was a busy day; three classes have papers due this week. During my breaks, I walked for 90 minutes and meditated. I’ve been awake for 12 hours, so it’s good to be home. If I had red slippers, I’d click them.

Hey, I totally understand you. I’m more of a “doer” myself, and my wife tends to relax a lot.

What I’ve noticed in conversations is that, at least in my case, it wasn’t just that she didn’t feel like doing things—it was that she had really difficult things and decisions in life that were occupying her mind, which left her with no energy.

I hope you both have a good talk and that things work out. Communication is key!

Day 39.

I feel weird about my sobriety today. I’m just kinda level, living without alcohol. I don’t put myself in many situations to encounter it, but maybe I have just accepted that it’s not entirely within my control. One day at a time? Is there work I should be doing at this point?

I don’t know, but I do know I’m sober today.

Day 42 done.

Not much to tell. I’m working on my balance and focusing on myself and my energy.

Every day without drinking is a step toward a better life.

Checking in Monday evening. Got hit with another whammy today. Found out I owe a ton of money for a one-night hospital stay (due to an unnecessary drug and alcohol induced emotional crisis) in July last year. Previously I had received an explanation of benefits saying the hospital part was covered (not the blood tests etc. which I already paid for my part) but turns out that wasn’t true. It’s not enough in this country to have horrible health insurance, they have to pretend things are covered and then be like JUST KIDDING! I am so tired of life punching me in the gut. I don’t know why I work so hard to be happy when bad things will happen all the time regardless. Yes, my addiction caused this issue in the first place. I feel so freaking low about myself. I am endlessly doomed, I think.
