I did a lot of late afternoon hot showers and had some good cries because I can’t drink like a normie. It was very relaxing physically and mentally. And extra power walks during the day.
Keep checking in. We got your back.

This is what it takes sometimes and it’s ok for real. Sometimes the best we can do is just get to bed and know that tomorrow is a new day. Proud of you

Sending sober strength your way, too. Some days are fucking hard. I feel ya. I just got home from a whirlwind trip to visit family and it’s been a trigger when I leave because it used to be “oh, I can drink now!” And while I’m grateful I haven’t felt that this time (yay!) my husband is turning around and leaving on Tuesday for the rest of the week so I’ll be home alone. Used to be my biggest trigger to drink because I didn’t have to hide it. Its not a first for me because he has left for work during my sobriety before but I’m paying attention. I’m here if you need support and I might be here a bit more, too.

I’m thankful for this thread honestly.

Have a good night all, sending love

A little late to the support party but I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better today. Getting used to our natural highs and lows takes a while to get used to after always having something we run to if we feel shitty.
I cannot tell you how many times I just laid in the tub and ate ice cream. It didn’t make me feel better but at least I felt like shit in a hot tub and my mouth was filled with ice cream.
It gets better though. The body does correct itself with time.
