hope you get well soon freedomfries

Thanks vc, ant .

At least it's just been one seizure. I think if I have two I won't be able to learn to drive which is something I wanted to do do soon

One embarrassing thing about this hospital visit is they weighed me. 91kg at 175cm. Need to start a diet tomorrow. Id start today but my mother dropped off lots of snacks at the hospital. Need to get back to those OA meetings

Just reading this and really sorry to hear that FF - but at least you are in the best place and a great reason to stay sober. Congrats on 12 days too

God I'm sore all over and they haven't given me any painkiller. I'll ask the nurse when I see her again

Well I got some paracetamol/tylenol. Would have preferred some codeine but it'll do. My back is really sore and I bit my tongue quite badly.

Good morning on day 12. I'm getting my Mri today and then probably be discharged tomorrow. Can't wait to get out of hospital.

Good morning all. Day 36 here. Kinda blah the last couple days. Have some gout going on in my knee, so probably won't be able to walk today. That, along with easing my eating discipline on the 4th and I guess it's not surprising. Plus, don't know about the rest of you, I go through waves of blah because of being holed up at home for so long. Oh well. I'll live.

FF-Waiting on the next update. How are you Willow? Jewel? Others that I'm missing?

Hi there Bob I’mdoing ok, how about you today? I hope the gout settles for you soon.

Thinking of you Freedom, I hope you manage to sleep in the hospital. I can never sleep in there.

The AV has been relentless since I got home yesterday. It even had a go at 4am when I couldn’t sleep this morning! But I wouldn’t listen to it. I’m just finishing up day 13. Off to bed soon, night everyone

Well I had my MRI. Just waiting for the results. Can't wait to get out of hospital. My back still aches and they're not giving me any decent painkillers. Even some otc codeine would be nice

I slipped yesterday. Felt so good to get through the 4th sober, not sure what happened other than I was walking alone along the river and I thought wine would enhance my experience. Of course, it didn’t. Only made me feel foggy brained and Unhealthy. After buying the little 4 pack, I had a serious debate with myself. Almost posted and almost threw them out but the addict within won. Kind of defeated the whole purpose of the walk. I really hate that I can’t be trusted alone right now yet, that is the way I recharge and refresh to be a better wife/mom. I can not be with my family 24/7! I will never give up. Back at this today.

Don’t go back if you’re contemplating a drink. It feels so yucky. I was so healthy just a day ago and now I feel ill. My body can’t handle the stuff at all!

Jewel, I know it's tough, but maybe look at this as a step that was needed to get to your final goal. I know I have learned from each of my setbacks. Just learn but don't live in the history. Move forward. (Listen to me, giving advice when I've had so many setbacks). We're with you.

FF-Sorry about the back pain. Hope you get out soon!

Sorry about your lapse Jewel. But at least you got right back on the wagon and it didn't turn into a bender. You can do this!

Finally out of the hospital. Hopefully this seizure was a freak one time incident and I won't be back again. Back is still killing me but at least I can take codeine at home. They only gave me paracetamol/tylenol at the hospital.

Looking forward to my AA zoom meeting in two hours.

Just back from my AA zoom meeting. I shared and read the promises at the end. I'm normally too shy. Still don't have a sponsor. It might be easier to get one after the pandemic. But I've pretty much worked the first three steps myself so that's something. Step 4 is very intimidating though.

Day 8 done. Got through the withdrawal, again, and know the road ahead. I have been there before.

welcome Bunker

Jewel a lot of times I got through something hard and stayed sober...and then drank.
I really had to rat myself out and ask for help when I wanted to drink - that was the only way to break the cycle.

Good morning on day 13. Looking forward to my AA zoom meeting in three hours.

One issue I have at meetings is I can never think of anything to share. But I forced myself to share at last night's meeting and I'm going to try and do the same this morning.

Just back from my morning AA meeting. Shared again. Getting used to sharing but it's still kind of daunting.
