No worries!
My migraines are triggered either by poor sleep or by changes in air pressure. The problem is it’s been back and forth with rain and nice weather so it’s been torture

Quick daily check-in.
I know most people often relapse during the weekend so here’s a gentle reminder to stay on course and keep strong 
I’m solitary for this holiday and I’m grateful for that! I’m in a solitude kind of mentality, and will enjoy the peace with a book and some tea 
My appetite is nonexistent today, so I don’t see myself snacking much. That’s a win! But I’ll make sure to eat and take care of myself 
Hope everyone is doing well

Thanks for the well wishes! I got some snide comments about it but no one brought alcohol for anything but gifts. I went to bed sober last night. Boundaries are hard lol

Day 194
Today is the day I’ve been dreading. I replaced the carburetor on my tractor yesterday and it runs like a Swiss watch. The sun is out and the temperature is perfect. My oversized Yeti mug fits perfectly in the cup holder. Are my days of drunk tractoring behind me?? Can I make a tractor exception ??? The old me would find that exception workable. I’m still SO sick. The dilemma is real…. The thought actually went through my mind. I could easily get away with it… holiday weekend. It’s the perfect relapse opportunity. I prayed to something unknown. I may drink again…. BUT NOT TODAY!! 
I hope everyone has a great sober day

I definitely understand the snide remarks I got “ dinner was lovely but would have been better if we had been ALLOWED wine” . I just told them they can host next time and have all the wine the want my house =my safe space.

Checking in day 24 AF. Sorry ahead of time for a long post just need to get it off my chest.
I had a very challenging, chaotic, stressful, and triggering week. I started with a new caregiver on Wednesday and this is how things happened: I called Tracy (male, my manager for the agency) on Thursday about the concern of the communication because Wednesday when the caregiver showed she had no clue she was taking me straight to my appointment (which they told me on the phone that morning she was aware of) and then there was the issue with parking. I told her she should talk to her manager about it and showed her where the parking garage was. She didn’t call and parked in the garage which cost money $5 and she paid for it saying no worries this time. I told him about that. I also said I don’t think this is a good match because of her accent and I am hearing impaired but she is really sweet and it’s not her fault. I also said it’s okay if she comes Friday while they were trying to figure things out and he said he appreciated that, but didn’t figure things out…. I was panicking on Friday morning because nobody was showing up and I called Synergy caregiving agency on Friday to let them know nobody showed up and she asked did anyone call you to tell you we are trying to figure things out and we don’t have anybody to cover today and I said no, I did receive a phone call about the parking situation, but not that. It triggered my PTSD so bad and I felt: abandonment, forgotten about, I don’t matter I’m not important , I’m invisible, and unloved. The Stress caused my blood sugar levels to go to 300 and all I could think at the time was I am 21 days sober from alcohol and can’t handle these kinds of emotions right now. It stressed Kevin my fiancé out because he had to rush to come get me because I told him nobody is showing up! And he was going above speed limits, which he hates doing, and got me to my group on time. He had to watch me go through an almost mental breakdown. Still managed to go to my group’s, check in with my sponsor, and go to AA virtual meetings 
. That’s just one thing I have gone through this week 
I haven’t even had the time to take care of myself properly or time for myself at all, however I stayed sober through all of this mess. I am currently working on finding coping skills for these kinds of situations because that was just not okay and ridiculous.
I hope everyone is doing well

day 1 no weed. i think i cannot keep working on my sobriety, but the other option is dependency, risk, danger, lack of health, and lack of direction.
recently for some reason, my sobriety from alcohol has been hallowing around me, in my mind, in messages on media, even my twin @Eke recently commented on a post i made, making me reconnect to my sobriety from alcohol. i’m not sure what I’m supposed to think, i wasn’t getting notices to relapse, although, to be safe, i refocused my attention on my current dependency.
anyway, onwards.

That sounds incredibly frustrating and trying. I hope the next week is better for you than the last one. Proud of you for prioritizing your sobriety and your peace as much as you can.

Thank you so much my friend, I am doing much better its a beautiful sunny spring weekend here in Seattle, I went to my friends house yesterday and met his beautiful family where I got to practice (okay, maybe show off) the language Im learning. They made us a delicious dinner and provided a plethora of delicious completely non alcoholic drinks.
Long story short, Im feeling blessed and am getting back on track. Very grateful to still be sober, so it was a good lesson that sticking it out is possible and worth it.
Sorry to checkin on your reply 
sending lots of love

Day 5.
Great day today. Gym, lots of gardening with the family helping out and then extended family visit for BBQ. Not a single person drank alcohol because they either 1) don’t, 2) were driving or 3) had a busy week ahead.
In my prior life I would have been smashed alone because I couldn’t imagine not using a sunny bbq as an excuse to do so. Last day of the football season too… tomorrow would have been a write off.
No cravings today, and for that I am thankful

That’s it, full 28 days and fourth weekend sober. Next Wednesday is an another test for me to join a cabin trip and drive there and back same day. Some of there might be disappointed or don’t understand when I drink only alcohol free drinks when everyone else is drinking alcohol. But let’s see, it should be ok and go fine.

Checking in on day 170
Lots of mental cravings this weekend. I think it’s just because my anxiety is so high and I’m having a hard time coping. I’m getting more isolated and pulling back from my job/searching for a new one and losing connection and purpose along the way. Back to one day at a time so i don’t have to have another day 1. Love to all.
