I had some real laugh out loud moments!! Ahhhh it's good to laugh! I spoke to my sponsor about my drinking thoughts and by talking to her I realised I have been sitting in self pity alot. Aww poor me I can't drink. She told me to not give any power to them. That when they come to laugh them off. I will try that. I realised last night how much more manageable my life is starting to become since I put down the drink. My relationships are better, my angry and depressive moods are way way down, my diet is 100% better, I Am starting to get my home in order and tackle my finances and have actually put some boundaries in place with my ex and am not depending on him like I used to. The changes are gradual but they are occurring day by day. Each day I don't drink. I just need to work on a more positive mind set. I am naturally negative and it is going to take work and that's ok. I am willing to do it! Last day with my baby today and then work tomorrow. My 2 weeks off have gone so quick. Time goes quick. Why waste it drunk?! Lol. Catch ya later x x Your sponsor makes a lot of sense, I think you've found a good one there. I'm much more organised and productive since I stopped drinking, still got loads of de-cluttering to get through, but I'm getting there, plus I have a lot more patience which helps. Xxx |
[QUOTE=Viperidae;6997541]Well another random Good Day. It’s tough to do deal with the dramatic ups and downs. I had a good meeting with my APRN today. We have a good game plan. She’s having me tested for every tick borne illness. I’m getting auto immune tests (ANA), she’s getting me an infectious disease specialist to consult about that Rabies Vaccine. I’m even paying out of pocket for more advanced testing on my food issues. Pull out all the stops. Rule things out. Make the best of it. Wether the storm. 6 weeks done ✅. Here’s to a more smooth 6 sober weeks to come. So glad you had a good day Vipe and I wish you many more of them. Fingers crossed all these extra tests give you some answers. 6 weeks is awesome. Kudos to you. X |
.Morning Aprils I hope you're all okay. I'm not very good at posting from my phone so please excuse the errors. I'm just enjoying a cup of tea 🍵, then we're going into the little harbour town as the g.kiddos want to spend some of their pocket money, after that we're going to a letting farm, followed by an hour in the arcade ( my worst nightmare) then whatever takes our fancy. Lots of love ❤ to you all. Laters. Xx |

Fantastic job!! Keep it up!! I might have to join you in the sugar/grains - that could be harder in some ways to give up, even more than alcohol !! :) Hope all is well with you :tyou |

Good morning Aprils, there's just no escaping me 😂. I hope you're all well, happy and sober. We had an amazing first night, we walked along the beach, collected some beautiful pebbles and painted them when we got back to the car an. Today we're going to hide them for others to find. We're just getting ready to go out to visit a castle in the next village and then more beach hopefully. Xxxx |

Hi April Class, I’m still reading here daily, but I’m posting more in the August 2018 now and can barely keep up there. Back at day 2 with greater resolve to quit drinking for good. Finally pulled myself out of an 8 day black hole where I tried each and everyday to have it be the last, but let the power of addiction win. Feel like I’m back in the light, and I never want to go back. You are all An inspiration to me and that’s why I am compelled to check in here every chance I get. I just didn’t want you all to think I abandoned ship. Love to all. I can’t wait to get as far along as so many of you are. Well done. Keep at it and never look back. I believe in you Quit. Do you listen to podcasts? I highly recommend Recovery Elevator. When I began my journey a little over 4 months ago I listened to this podcast in the car, when I was cleaning, any chance I had really. I swear it saved my life :) Just take it one day at a time. You got this :grouphug: |

Good morning my lovely Aprilites :) I was able to get up early again this morning and practice my TKD. I have a test coming up in September to test for my Blue belt. Martial arts is great form of exercise for us addicts because it works out the body, mind and spirit. I really do love it. Plus, I can kick some one's butt if they try messing with me :lmao In all seriousness though I feel like getting back into TKD was such a good move for my recovery. I truly feel we all need something to work towards...something to keep our minds busy. If I let myself get too bored in life then drinking would surely follow in short order. Plus, setting goals, working towards and achieving goals is the key to happiness. That and being grateful! What are you all grateful for today? I am grateful to be sober and to finally feel like I'm getting my sh*t together! :) Alcohol Day 137 Sugar/Grains 9 Diet Coke 10 I'm movin and groovin and just really happy right now. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care and stay sober! |
Hi Peeps, just my morning or sometimes evening 🙄 check in. Some of us are sounding wonderful, some of us are struggling, and some of us our getting by day by day. I think for me, right now I feel wonderful, but am also taking it day by day. I work at a church festival every year, and it is coming up this weekend. I am the wingman and usually cook about 150 dozen wings a day Saturday and Sunday and lots of fun. The thing is there is also free flowing beer always stocked in a pitcher right next to me, and having some anxiety about that. I can’t say I won’t do it, everyone is pretty much 70+ and can’t handle that all day on there feet. I can’t avoid it, or escape it because everyone is usually drinking. Just wanted to share this, and it is going to be a true trial but my sobriety must come first. I will have 40 days sober tomorrow. |
