Checking in daily to maintain focus #78

@butterflymoonwoman Thanks girl. As you know some days are harder to stay positive but we are doing it through the rough days. They are sending out the appliance to see if they can fix it. Good lord! I am so sorry to hear about your overnight nurses. Such a crock. I do hope that they will get the right people trained and fill in the gaps. I am so proud of how you are handling it and not letting it twist up on you. I know its hard and I know it takes a lot out of you when you have to step in. I wish the system worked better and I do hope that more nurses can get trained so that this is easier in the future. Hopefully for tonight you get some rest and self care. You are amazing Dana. Sending you love and strength :heart: :hugs:
@juli1 :people_hugging: I’m sorry to hear that. I do hope that with getting back in this program and now being sober you will be working towards getting better :hugs: I have hope for you friend.
@mtsober well done on giving up the cigs. Join us on the Grumpy A-holes (quitting cigarettes/ nicotine products) (Part 2) thread – keep putting in that work on all your timers :muscle:

I hear ya – it is like you are crawling out of your skin. You are not alone. Grateful that you don’t have the desire to drink. Grateful you are working on the journey ODAAT. It helps to take a hot or cold shower. Keep yourself super busy with mindless tasks to keep you from feeling bored or thinking about the urges. These threads were awesome for good distractions for me – the meme thread in particular was / is fun
@systematicsupernova Oh man I’m so sorry friend. I can’t imagine dealing with Crohn on top of having to go through detox and the rest of it. I am grateful you had a good caring nurse to help set up a meeting for you- I do hope that you can get the assistance you need to help you feel better. Grateful you are not giving into the alcohol – no way would it solve anything and you know it would actually cause you more harm at this point. 20 days is around the corner – love the attitude and the determination! STAY STRONG :muscle:
@christophe YEAH you should be super proud!! 40 days is awesome work. I do enjoy a nice storm when i’m sleeping. Hope its soothing for you too.
@ladybug1974 WHOOHOO!!! Triple digits is marvelous! Well done friend – keep up the great work :tada: :muscle:
@seb check you out! Outstanding work and I absolutely love the 5’s along with the pic and the saying. Love it ALL! Keep up the great work friend

Didn’t get my swim in today as it rained all day. Glad I did opt to open the windows even with the humidity. It wasn’t so bad indoors and I do enjoy the fresh air.
The dentist is going to send out my splint to get fixed. Noticed it is starting to come apart in multiple places and she suggested that I may not want this type and go back to a normal mouth guard. I have destroyed 4 in last 1.5 years LOL. Well I do enjoy not having migraines as often so I have asked to keep this for as long as I can.
Went to see a Aryvedic doc in Windsor tonight. It was a super long and draining day. Very interesting what he was able to diagnose just by feeling my pulse. I’m pooped.

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:
