Morning all. Slept 10-6 so my sleeping patterns are beginning to become more healthy. Day 18 for me so that's not bad really. I still feel a bit anxious but compared to days 1-10 it's a cake walk!

Not much on today...got one work meeting at 10 so I'll prepare for that and do that, then do some gardening, then go out for a long walk this afternoon. It's my last day of leave before returning to work properly tomorrow.

My daughter has Covid and she's quite sick. Went to her mum's at 3 yesterday and kept texting me to say she was vomiting. Poor thing -she's avoided it for 24 months but this new strand does seem to make kids, in particular, vomit 😡

Be- Congrats on day18!! I really hope your girlie feels better soon. Vomiting sucks! My son had food poisoning last week I felt so bad for him. I was scrubbing the mattress at 3am after a tikka masala made him soooo ill!!

Sue - lovely to meet you! Congrats on day 29!!

Thankfully I made it to the end of tonight alive!! I feel good although quite tired, I guess I have a lot of sleep to catch up on plus all the other stressful stuff going on has made life tiring, some I've spoken about but there's also a lot I haven't that has been adding too a lot of anxiety and stress in the last 6 months which has increased my drinking. Hopefully by not drinking I can look at sorting it out but for now sober sleep is on the cards for me..

Red78

Oh no!! Tikka masala spew, that must've been terrible for both of you..

Jo43

Red it was vile!!! Let’s just say the idea of a takeaway is furthest from his mind right now bless him! I have to make from scratch xx

Red78

I can only imagine!!! The things I never missed from not having kids!!

Been binge eating today. Not ideal but I suppose I can think about dieting when I get more sober time. I guess there's no harm using food as a crutch in the short term.

Good morning. 24 days AF. I'm not having cravings as of yet, but quite a few drinking dreams or dreams with alcohol present. I have the day off, going to work on "domestic administration" 😆 and relax a bit with some Netflix.

Jo43

A lovely sober realisation….

The old me - if I take kids out then I may not be able to afford my wine!

Me now - Come on kids let’s go out for lunch. Look at menu have whatever you want it’s a special day just because!

I love my sober life ❤️

venuscat

That is lovely Jo!! ❤️

Hi all-
Waking up to day 4 with a headache but had some breakfast and voila, headache gone. I think I need to work on my diet but for now as FF said I'm more concerned with not drinking. But I will try to stop going for long periods of time without eating as I don't think that's good in general.

This is my last Day 4.
