It's just awful. After I heard the news I picked my baby up and held her for as long as she would allow me to.

Relent, that’s terribly sad. I’m sorry.
Well, I’m still needing Advil for aches, and have a little cough, but I’m feeling much better today, and had two negative covid tests. They wanted to re test me today, because the nurse that talked to me yesterday thought it a good idea, since I was still sick, and to help me decide on if I need a 14 day quarantine. So, good news!
18 days.
BTG, I think some stability in your life might help. It sounds like so much anger is coming at you, and so much fighting. It’s got to be so hard, but, fighting is so upsetting to kids too. Been there as a kid...
Erratic, I’m rooting for you! I hope you can gain some traction. 💕
I can’t remember everyone’s names and stories when catching up on 3 pages, lol. But, great on all the good changes like running, swims, healthier eating, introspection, and hugs and love to those struggling. This is hard work.
I’ve dropped a few pounds being sick, just not a huge appetite. I’ll take it. Hopefully I’ll feel up to a walk tomorrow. It doesn’t need to be a power walk, but some fresh air would be good.

Phobe and rose.....i hope you feel better. Drink some honey ginger tea....works for me.
AL way to go on 50 days. That is a nice number.
Still plugging a long here. I can see changes happening. Some are so small, you would have to be perfectly sober to even notice. Thank God I'm giving myself the chance to see again. I am also thinking about some of the people I hurt along the way. I can ask for forgiveness and try to move on. Some the the hurt is real when you are sober. At least feeling sad or happy is better than numb. Learning to sit within your emotions instead of running from them is a new concept. Jeeezz, at my age you would think you would have this figured out. I suppose patience is what is required.
I like my sober calendar on my phone. It says 83.3% to 1 month sober. Im going to make sure that says 100%.
Have a nice night ya'll

Another one bites the dust! 19 awesome, productive, AF days. Down 5 pounds and getting used to a busy and regimented schedule. It’s working.... filling every minute of the day with intentional work, fun, chores, tasks, exercise, etc. ....kind of like a zero-dollar budget—every minute has a purpose from morning to night.
Hope you all are well! Hang in there and stay positive. You are worth it.

How is everyone else doing?? Up, down, sideways ... we've all been there. Keep checking in.
I'm also feeling more productive, better focus at work, calmer overall. Mental stability is always the thing I want most fiercely. Everything else flows from there. I'm on day 15 and this time around I'm not feeling the heavy grief and loss I felt with other times I quit. There is nothing left to miss. I pray I don't forget that because I know the "lies" the AV can churn out.
Today I'm going to tackle a closet that looks a shambles. I need to get some storage containers and buy some groceries too. I'm out of Fresca and cranberry juice. Also love sparkling water. Gotta keep those good beverages well stocked. And can I just say how much I love my new bathtub? Need to splurge on some bubble bath and epsom salts too.
