Checking in super sleepy this morning. Got to bed nice and on schedule last night, still sporting the migraine and throwing up from it, so I was proud of myself for getting to bed early. THEN, my daughter came home at 1am and the dogs absolutely lost their shit 
, this is super exciting for them you see lol. I had a hard time falling back asleep. So lots of snoozes on the old alarm today. I should be leaving in five minutes, not just getting in the shower. Oh well.
Iām going to make today a short day, hopefully.
Feeling stronger emotionally, but my anxiety is pretty strong. PTSD therapy tomorrow, if it actually starts. Iām not sure if theyāll be done assessing me yet. We shall find out tomorrow. I hear my inner drunk, Brittany, talking shit on the regular. So I have to keep being honest about it.
Have a happy sober day folks 
Happy Pi Day!
Iām seeing lots of triple number combinations today!
(7:00 700/700)
Aside from that I did the unusual, woke up at 3:45AM and went to a 5am Orange Theory Fitness Class.
Glad I started today off productively and challenging my norms. Have a good day all.I appreciate you sharing your experience Jane! Thanks to you and @SoberWalker. Knowing you both struggle with estrangement, I sincerely value your input.
If this method doesnāt work out I fear it may be the only path forward. Even if I keep the door open Iām not sure that my mom will ever see her part in it. Itās just too uncomfortable for her to look at herself that way because it would completely upset the life sheās built.
I am grateful to read your words this morning and the outpouring of support!
Congrats on one month hazy:), and thank you everyone for all your support. Day 31, back on that pink cloud lmao. Woke up feeling great this morning. One more day of waking up early and then Its the weekend. Hope everyone has a good Thursday 
Where did you find that info? Iām interested 
as how many shitty months thereās left in my case 
and yes that person was a mf
Actually youāll taste your coffee much better without smoking. Also I started buying better beans after quitting cigarettes, both tastewise and because I could afford it. Congrats on both your quits!
@Girlinterrupted
Beth, hang in there. I am hoping you find some peace soon. Take care of yourself and get some rest.
Day 45.33
Another crazy day. Iāve decided to take tomorrow off to regain my sanity. Work has been crazy recently working 7 am - midnight (with breaks). The pace should taper after March.
@Hopeful777
Sober twin, thanks for checking in on me! I appreciate it more than you know
Stay sober everyone!!!
Another capture for @C_8:
Checking in. The last few weeks Iāve been tired and digging myself out of some holes I created with addiction and avoidance.
I believe I was trying to change the leaf without changing the root. I am now trying to better understand the roots of my addictive choices.
I am continuing with my group. I am going to take more time to reflect this week. I am also going to eat more vegetables. Will check in about that in my next post 
Iām so ready for the weekend!! Next week is what we call Spring Break here in the States. My kids will be out of school for the week so that means less stress for me! Donāt have to worry about my youngest actually going to school. Sorry your work is so crazy now @SoberWalker. I hope it settles down soon.
Day 226. If anyone has been following the news about the Arnold Classic being cancelled/not cancelled/partially cancelled/etcā¦itās been a headache. Bummed that my first experience with it has to be so crappy (due to the Covid-19, not anything they could control)ā¦but man, communication is all over the place between Ohioās government and the Arnold staff.
On a lighter note, Iām drooling over some new Vans Iām gonna try and pick up this weekend, weāre having dinner with friends at a local joint with awesome burgers tonightā¦and today is my Friday.
Larry Edgar signature Vans:
Have a strong day!!!
Thomas
Those are cool shoesā¦and I love me some Vans!! I may hit the Vans store for a pair myself.
I saw them, and was like
I just switched to Vans a few years ago, after being a lifelong devotee Chucks.
Day 60 check in! I love reading about everyones transformations. What a journey we are on called life.
1 WHOLE WEEK IN!!!
Yay! I managed to get to 7 days!
I woke up early to get my morning workout in and Iām feeling pretty good! I have some anxiety this morning tho about money that Iām getting possibly today, payday tomorrow, and Income tax on monday. Money is a huge trigger for me so Iām trying to work through this and make a plan for my money like what was suggested to me. Idkā¦ Iām just nervous. My mind is lying to me saying that āone time wont hurt and that I can control it this timeā. But my heart is saying āno dont chance it, you dont need itā. Its a crazy battle in my head today lol. Thankfully I have this forum to check in on and read.
Thank you for your post. I needed to read thatā¦ that using/drinking when down only makes it worse. My mind always tells me itās going to make things better. And it NEVER does! Proud of you for getting through your trigger yesterday. Thatās huge!
