Great job you clearly care about your recovery keeping track of everything as you did bear. I have a lot a faith you can do jt the drugs are the death of us we all can take control a say at a time a min at a time. Keep up the great work man. Proud to see you so happy. Very important!!
Can anyone offer tips when they are really feeling like throwing in the towel and having a drink because things feel so lonely right now and it seems like no one would even know if I did or didnt drink. I am missing a sense of freedom in lockdown (like I know we all are) and working such long days (like many of us are too). I feel so unhealthy this way. And I donāt know if any menstruators have found this but I am bleeding a lot more during Covid? Longer periods, over 7 days, and heavy enough to bleed onto furniture which has been a nightmare and humiliating. My body is cheating me again and again. Anyway, I miss the blur of not having to look at myself in the mirror because I am too busy and now I have to see myself and face the fact that Iām stagnating. I know weāre all going through hard times, and Iām lucky enough to finally get this new job after a long time searching. But I am worried, I feel tired, my willpower is spent and I donāt know where to turn. My boyfriend, understandably goes to bed about 3 hours before I do, and he doesnāt like it when I text him my concerns anyway, Iām only allowed to raise things on a phonecall. Which I know makes sense for best ācommunicationā, in terms of the likelihood of us both understand the interpretation correctly. BUT it also means, I return to the familiar feeling of nowhere to go when I am always up late searching for an antidote to how I feel. Someone has suggested AA to me so I think iāll go to a zoom tomorrow night. I wish not drinking didnāt have to unravel all other issues - I really need to stay healthy eating, but binging has crept up on me, like I want to give myself nice things to distract myself from drinking. But, I canāt keep doing that, its making me low. Anyway, wishing everyone a positive week - Iād love as always any good books; movies; music; podcasts on any of this. How erratically things can shift in lockdown! I was fine an hour ago!
