Night One here...
I'm gonna make it. But ugh am I feeling nauseous (not hungover). Not sure if I'm coming down with something or what. Body aches and whatnot...
Drinking plenty of fluids. Have help with my LO and dinner fortunately. I'm just planning on taking it reeealllyyy easy.
I can do it. I can get through this part.
♡
Hope you're all doing okay wherever you are.

Doing great here, thanks.
Yes, you can do it. You can get through this part. It may be tough and uncomfortable, but you can do it.
Taking it easy is the way to go. Be kind to yourself, you're doing the right thing.
Congratulations on day one. And remember, you never have to feel this way or drink again.

It takes some effort but it's worth it.

Honestly... I'm just feeling really neutral. I'm glad I'm making an effort to quit, rather than staying on the track I was on.
I've been making a lot of progress lately. I feel like I'm slowly getting my feet under me emotionally. But I know what I'm doing to my mind/body with my drinking and it's holding me back!
When I relapsed, I was in the midst of postnatal depression (too embarrassed at the time to get help), raging autoimmune flare with a lot of pain, moved 7 hours, had to sell/buy a home in less than 8 weeks- and I just got in over my coping skills...
Then I lost a dear loved one (cancer), my husband got cancer (clear now!), and then my mother got cancer (also now clear).
^^^all that happened in under 3 years...with a new baby. My world just like, exploded... in slow motion. And kept blowing up. It was pretty f**kt!
BUT- Drinking to cope is a constant battle to not overdo it or manage a hangover. It's just not working for me. I hate it!
I'm FINALLY getting good therapy (for the last few mos). Its helping. Slowly but surely. Brick by brick. I'm taking my time.
Seems like every part of me that was not healed got pushed beyond what I knew how to deal with...if that makes sense.
I'm not happy that I started drinking again. I am happy that I'm doing something about it before it gets catastrophic again. And, ultimately I think I can keep growing. I think i still have a good shot... I have hope.
Anyway...babbling. ♡
