@SoberWalker I salute you for your days, sounds a perfect Sunday And as for the high tea how scrummy. I am actually loving a sober weekend. Get jobs done and without the massive effort whilst drinking, time for me and my friends. Enjoy your day

Oh Lea, this is a lot.
100% be selfish. Only you know what you need to heal right now. Your foot has to be devastating as well. Exercise is my healthy outlet right now and I found myself drawn to running myself. My mind just goes somewhere and I envision goals. I donât know what outside influencers are making you feel this way, but itâs not good. Can you take a temporary, or if necessary, permanent step back?

@Jane.c I too struggle with depression. I have been on and off meds for a couple years. I finally decided meds were not the right choice for me right now because they interfere with my sleep and then the meds to help me sleep made me feel groggy and useless all day. Instead, Iâm choosing exercise, healthy eating, and trying to take care of myself. Working towards a goal is also good. Whatever that goal may be, as long as I bv have something to work towards, I feel motivated to keep going.
hugs as you stay on your journey. Be easy with yourself.

Feeling a good deal better today. A rough few weeks of negative self talk, mix in a little work stress, divorce stress, rejection, loneliness, PTSD treatment, loss of desire to be sober, and crap I canât even remember, and the perfect storm was created.
BUT, I came here, maybe posted a bit too much, but I needed it. I have never survived that place before. In the past I would have 100% drank like a âladyâ on my lunch date and then would have bought alcohol on the way home, and spiraled 24/7 for I donât know how many weeks straight. I donât have another withdrawal in me. I donât think I could do it again. It takes me weeks to even get steady on my feet.
Grateful for all of you. Iâm not out if the woods yet, but are we ever really out of the woods completely? I say no. We are only a tiny drink away from disaster and that fact needs respect.

Checking in on day one. Been good recently but the drink got the better of me last night. No point beating myself up over it whatâs done is done. Moving on to a better future.
