13 days. Depression kicking in. Managed a walk and trying to get into the habit of vaping instead of cigarettes. I feel very down today. Hiding in my bedroom.

Day 331. Today is the 23rd day off Lexapro, and the first time I have felt “normal” in a very long time. The brain spasms and dizzyness are pretty much gone. So I think I’m ok to stop.
My wife had our first baby after about 3.5 years of trying and at least a dozen fertility treatments. She needed a c section delivery, and experienced a post surgery atopic hemorrhage three days ago. Work has also been a struggle. If I can make it through that with the accompanying lack of sleep I think I can say I may actually be ok without the meds.
If I had been drinking or under the influence, none of this would be possible and I don’t know if I would be here posting this right now. So for any addicts on the fence, the daily sobriety battle is worth the fight!

Today my decisions are made on whats best for others. Im not as selfish as i once was and im only staying sober through the program of alcoholics anonymous. I had to come to that full surrender and i did cause if i didnt i would’ve died a drunk strung out on heroin and meth so i have to thank God for exactly how my life is today, a sober alcoholic addict.

Day 484. First day of new groups, fun time seeding at the farm where I volunteer, a good talk with the psychiatrist, and received a nice email. I also did a pretty okay job managing my moods and thoughts. Not a bad day!

I have to agree with you, doing step work in a group doesn’t seem at all comfortable. I think it’s best we do the hard stuff with our sponsors alone. I give you credit for trying though.

Day 62 completed. I just found out that something I’ve been working really hard on at work is something I didn’t even have to do at all. It’s a relief because I don’t have to stress out over it any longer, but I’m angry that I wasted so much time not only working on it, but worrying about it. I slept very poorly for the last week or so because I was worried about it, and it was all for nothing.
But I’m still sober, so I’ve got to be happy for that.

Good morning!
I reset the timer to midnight, because I had used Sunday to Monday night. Today is my first day clean.
Wish you all a sober and clean day!

Day 72
Got an email from my sister saying she is having a hard time dealing with the past, and the relationship with our toxic mother. She has always been (appeared) strong. She would fight against our mother while I coped by being passive. She also found out that her dad was not the person she thought (and different to my biological father). I was surprised as she seemed so put together, but also oddly flattered she turned to me. She is older, smarter, more athletic, etc. I tried to reply to her as well as I could, but now my head is all over the place, did I sound too self-helpy, did she dislike my advice. She is someone that I really respect and the idea of letting her down somehow is devastating.

It was easy! But now I have to wait for the results. I have a hearing test next week and right after that I have an oppointment with my doctor to discuss both of the results and what to do next.
Thank you @Joy, @Hopeful777 and @Mno too!
