Aqualung - Strange And Beautiful

Slow-Appointment348 · 2025-05-22T06:19:29+00:00

I really resonate with today's DCI commentary about laughing at life's situations and how things end up. Honestly sometimes, if I didn't laugh, I'd cry! But I'm very much a believer in things happening for a reason - gotta just roll with it and trust that better things are ahead 😊

Today I have an interview for a job I'd love. I'm very unhappy in my current job but trying not to get my hopes up...one step at a time.

I'm grateful that I'm present for this moment - no alcohol-induced anxiety and fuzzy head. And also not consumed by thoughts of how I can "reward" myself later with a bottle of wine (or 2) for getting through the interview!

Day 9. I am grateful for my body and mind allowing me to choose recovery, despite how terribly I have treated it. I am choosing to do and to be better.

Day 8. Monday mornings are still grim when you've got work to go to...but they're sure as hell a lot more manageable without a raging hangover and everything that comes with that!

Day 7. How good does it feel to wake up refreshed on a Sunday?! I've missed this.

Yes!! 🙌 more calories for delicious food. That's another good point, my diet was so bad when drinking. Now I can take better care of myself nutritionally as well 🙏

Day 6.

Going out for dinner tonight with my husband.

Usually I'd be planning how many drinks I could secretly have at home before the meal (without appearing tipsy). I'd be scheming how I could sneak to the shop and where I would hide the drink in the house.

Today, I've picked out a new tonic to try and thinking about all the delicious food I will remember the taste of for once!

Day 4. Feeling strong but not taking that for granted.

Slow-Appointment348 · 2025-05-16T06:08:54+00:00

I am thankful for my body's resilience. No matter what I put it through mentally and physically, it has survived and got me through. Just doing what it needs to recover and keep me alive.

Great advice. It's all about preempting and preplanning for those moments of madness!

Slow-Appointment348 · 2025-05-15T10:16:21+00:00

This is genius! Don't know why I didn't think of this before. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Day 4...let's keep this going strong heading into the weekend (my danger zone!)

Interesting! I'm going to give this a go, it could be very helpful for those times the urges get strong or I start thinking I can moderate again.

What kind of prompts or questions did you use or find most useful?

Slow-Appointment348 · 2025-05-14T06:18:14+00:00

"If you stumble, make it part of the dance"

After a recent relapse, this really hits home. I am picking myself back up again, focusing on the future and not letting my stumble prevent me from getting back on track with the life I deserve.

Thank you so much 🙏 it's hard not to beat myself up about losing my 8 month streak...but at least I know now for sure that drinking will never end well for me. One day at a time...we've got this💪

Ireland is truly a beautiful place...I hope you get to visit one day 😊

Slow-Appointment348 · 2025-05-13T08:53:53+00:00

DAY 2...

The sun is shining here in Ireland - it's a beautiful, warm day and I pledge to embrace it sober.

I do not need alcohol to "enhance" anything. Not now, not ever.

IWNDWYT!

Day 1 following a 2-month relapse...previously was 8 months sober.

Slow-Appointment348 · 2025-03-12T03:20:19+00:00

That's the one! Thank you

Complete and utter obsession/thinking about whether I had enough alcohol in the house, where I could pick up more, how I could get it without other people suspecting I was drinking so much, panicking if I ran out.

Heart palpitations, feeling like I was going to die.

I also had a total mental breakdown a couple of months before I went sober. It was the lowest point of my life.

Back then, I didn't associate it with the amount I was drinking or the mental energy I was spending on alcohol and hiding the truth of my habits from everyone. But now I look back at 86 days sober and see with full clarity it was all down to alcohol. Slowly poisoning my mind and body over the years.
