Day 265 for me and the hardest one so far for some reason. Woke up with a thirst out of nowhere that I wasn’t going to entertain, then came the urge to eat something v unhealthy that I just about managed to dodge. A new thing for me today was a want to go out and spend money on something… Anything. It got rationalised as something that wasn’t unhealthy.
I eventually tired myself out walking the dog and treated myself to a black coffee. Now I’m still up looking at my eyebrows and considering cutting them off.
I won’t though, hopefully.

Day 50,
I planned this year with updates of when to take pieces of it.
At day 60 I will go back on social media with my new found soberity to see if it’s something that’s positive when sober.
Day 20 was just my detox phase and to day 40 was fixing my relationship which has been loads better.
Day 90 I’m considering hitting a rehab.

Thank you so much 
Boundaries all around are very difficult for me, I’ve never had them. I feel really proud. However, my fight or flight crap lasted long. Her response was self serving and expected. I replied politely and shortly and that was that. Greedy people gross me out. And holding myself accountable to you guys sobriety wise is helping immensely.
Congrats on 500 days @aircircle!!! 
@CoffeeSaves2020 I’m really glad you’re here, and yeah, that’s rough stuff, but you never have to worry about that again when sober
@BobIsGone please be gentle with yourself. You’re doing great, and it’s ok and normal

Too many mentions, had to split my post in two:
@ChunkBorealis oh please don’t shave off your eyebrows lol. I feel you, I got the mad urge to shave my head Brittany Spears style this weekend 
@Beardy_McTallman you know how dear to my heart you are, and it’s breaking now with all you’re going through. I have been there, and I believe in you and I know you can claw your way out of this. It’s not easy, but I know you have it in you. I wish I didn’t suck so bad expressing how I feel. However, you’re a beautiful human and have given me a lot of hope in the past. I only hope and pray that I can do the same for you.
@Jane.c mentioning twice because you have just been putting such a smile on my face when down. Your badass comment was everything lol. You are rocking it too.
Thank you to EVERY single person on this forum. I know I’m teetering on relapse, but I feel I can fight it with you guys. I have to. Well, I don’t want to say that or else I’ll be a defiant brat. I know that deep down I want to, but that damn Brittany (drunk alter ego) keeps trying to take over my brain.

Exciting even if it does not pan out.

158 days. My life is chaos as usual. My dishwasher and garbage disposal both broke, now the sink backed up into the dishwasher which over flowed and flooded my kitchen. Hubby is in bed sick and can’t help me. My truck overheated on my way home from work and had to put antifreeze in by myself. This is why I’m married, to have a man do all this shit. Ugh! Went to a meeting just to escape life for a little while and was told to rely on my HP. I’m trying but it’s fucking hard.
Oh I forgot I have a test Thursday for my health & life insurance license and can’t find time to study. I need this for work. I guess I’ll just have to take it again if I fail. I just can’t add any more stress at this point or I’ll explode.

I freaking scraped against someone’s car in a parking lot and begged her not go through my insurance and I offered to cover the damage if she gets an estimate. It’s really not that serious. But I cannot take another hit against my insurance. It’s finally becoming manageable.
Prior to that I almost got into a road rage fight. Like a physical one
And I drove for hours to show multiple properties i probably won’t make any money from. Just a long fucking day.

Haven’t checked in for a bit but I’m on day 22! Yay! I’ve been so busy moving not 1, but 2 houses. My mom is moving so I’ve been helping her just about every day and we are moving into the house she’s leaving so it’s been crazy. This last weekend was weekend #3 for me and it was the first weekend I didn’t have any cravings! Anxiety has subsided and I’m settling into the fact that I just don’t drink. Still loving the 30 day alcohol experiment by Annie Grace and I’ll recommend it to everyone lol. Been journaling like crazy with it and still reading my books.
Also got my WFS work and am going to start absorbing all of the New Life Program.
Literally can’t wait for my husband to get home and take over with the kids, we’ve been so busy I havent even gotten the time to shower for two days (yuck I know) . Long bath, book and candles on the agenda tonight. And we gotta catch up on Lego masters!
Life is good you guys, stay strong
