Check in Day 47! Going to Omaha Nebraska tomorrow. Trying to be positive about it. Downloading some podcasts and dying my hair atm. Trying not to stay a ā€œdry drunkā€ā€¦ Despite my cold I have powered through yoga, spin class, and swimming this week. Ive taken my daughter to story time, the park, church, swim lessons. Done some shopping. I have every reason to be happy, and I am sober!! I can smell, taste, breathe and feel. Life is not passing me by. What a blessing. Not saying its easy, but its worth it. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

Check in~ Still recovering from foot surgery! Sooo very tired of Netflix. I found some couch exercises to do with a light weight on my left leg and the cam boot on my right leg. Looked for a different job, which has been interesting and enlightening. I need to find something less insane. Listened to this man on YouTube :rofl: Hal Elrod on Impact Theory talk about controlling your emotions, a morning routine, positive thinkingā€¦it was great! Iā€™m going to order his book Miracle Morning (I think thatā€™s what itā€™s called). I truly loved that interview!
My husbandā€™s aunt is dying so I am going to use my scooter to support my husband and accompany him up to the nursing home. 18 days free from alcohol, by the grace of God!!!

Good for you Aly!

It sounds like youā€™re feeling the recovery. These are good first steps as your body purged out the toxins.

Support is important to get through the tough times. There are some tough roads coming ahead. Do you have a group - even an online one - you can access?

There are online meeting spaces at www.InTheRooms.com & there is online support at www.WomenForSobriety.org - what do you think about making some contacts there?

Life isnt easy but alcohol and drugs arenā€™t the solution it just makes things worse never better. Thank you God for my life today.

Day 221. I had a rough day at work yesterday. Iā€™m getting nervous about coming of meds now. I heard the familiar calling of the abyss after some rough moments yesterday, and have no interest in experiencing all that again everyday. I feel sharper but also unstable and easily pulled off balance emotionally. Itā€™s a three day weekend so hopefully by Tuesday I will settle down. Thanks for being here everyonešŸ˜Š
