Thank you for checking. I’m still doing well heading into week two. The difficulty is starting to set in now a little earlier than usual. In the past I get to week three before the boredom cravings hit. I’m holding strong though. The thoughts are fleeting. For now I keep thinking about how sick it made me in the end. And how the vitamin deficiency has my iron low and I’ve turned the space heater on in my house while the air is on 66. It was 72° the other night and I was cold. That’s so unlike me. Lol. My children are constantly encouraging me. Went out to eat with my 21 year old and she chose not to drink in support. That meant a lot since my husband never did that none of the times I tried to get sober. He kind of made it harder back then especially when he’d come in drunk and I could smell it on him. I’m rambling because I’m still having sleep issues. I think that’s more because I was on 3rd shift for a year.

The biggest struggle I have now I think is regulating my blood sugar. I’m not a big sweets person but have been craving chocolate covered pretzels lately. I should probably take this time to fast for a couple days to reset my system.

Don’t allow boredom to get you. Keeping myself entertained with things that recovery has allowed has has huge positive results In every area of my life. I know without a doubt that I couldn’t do what I do as a drunk. Its a huge help for my recovery. Boredom tricks you into thinking that it might be fun again. Its a trap!

I’m SO glad you have your daughter’s support and encouragement! :heart: Keep pushing through.

It’s funny that you say that because my sugar cravings were through the roof when I first got sober. My nutritionist said that was normal. I told her I was drinking a diet coke here and there to take the edge off. :joy: She said that was okay. She also recommended the Olipop sodas because it doesn’t have those artificial sweeteners and it has fiber in it. They are pricey but I get one or two every now and then as a little treat. :face_with_tongue:

I love those. I’ve been giving in to the sugar lately. Not a lot but more than usual. I’ve also tried drinking tea with honey instead of opting for soda.

Cass - start growing your sobriety today, as soon as you can. What were you doing that worked for you? What were you not doing, in terms of sobriety, that may have led to the relapse? Only you have these answers. I would love to see you back at some months, and beyond.

I was attending meetings, keeping up with my routine… major breakdown after 4 deaths over 4 weeks. All various causes. I went into my head and my hole for 24 hours caught myself and as soon as I got a better phone to support my apps I came back.
