Day 68.
Saw my Dr. today. Officially have the Flu (and possibly a uti… to be determined…turns out I can’t pee on demand).
Also doubled my Fluoxetine script.
Fun times.

Congrats on the 68 days! So sorry about the flu and the UTI, but atleast with some rest and a good antibiotic those will go away. I wish addiction was that easy to cure!

Day 110 is almost over. Long day at work. Went for a 2 mile jog with the dog when I got home and now I’m exhausted. It’s only 7:30 and I want to go to bed. I had a little craving for some wine while at the grocery store this afternoon but it was fleeting. I’m thankful I can acknowledge the craving and move on. Pressing on. Stay strong sober people!! Your stories inspire me.

Thank you Got my sick bed (area) all stocked up.
I don’t know how people with dependents cope with being sick, let alone the whole crapola journey of getting sober. Yikes. Kudos to all of you

Good evening! I have made it home and closing out day 1.
Finished reading ‘This Naked Mind’. Definitely going to be referring back to that book!!! I also am working on the 30 alcohol experiment both by Annie Grace. One great take away : I GET to be af today because I am choosing sobriety over alcohol which is poisonous to me.
Thanks everyone for sharing. I love seeing all of the days, weeks, months, and years people post. It gives me hope to see how all of you are living sober.

Ugh sorry you are sick! The flu is awful. I hope you get better soon and the increase in your fluoxetine helps. Rest up and take care of yourself. Hugs

102 Days. What a long day. Glad it’s over. Had a great AA meeting tonight and got my 90 day chip. The topic really hit home with me and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. I owe it all to my higher power. Stay strong TS family.
Feel better @C_8. The flu is miserable. Pls take care of yourself and get lots of fluids and rest.

Glad you had a good meeting. You’ve prompted me to make AA more of a fixture in my life next year

Raises eyebrow suspiciously I’m putting this on my fridge. Because my ego really benefits from recalling what an intellectual superhero I am. Also, this may be the first documented instance of a Quebecois telling an American they’re correct.
Seriously though, glad to hear you flexing those new found sober muscles. Your experiences and your history are a blessing that you had to go through so that you could truly be of help to others.

When I quit in August of 2008, I too did it by telling myself NOT ONE DRAG. When I brought that mindset into motion when I quit pain pills, it kept me from sneaking a pill here and there.
