It is day 7 and I have done some good things this past week. My first 11 days before falling off the AF wagon, I stayed sober during the stress of Easterns for both kids as well as dealing with Tucker's melt down. If I had been drinking, it would have been much more difficult. I would have wanted to isolate immediately and throw in the towel. Although the stress of it all hit me when we came home on the 11th day of my AF journey, I am glad I had the stretch during Easterns. Those 5 days of alcohol soaked self pity could have stretched for a month or more but I got back up and re-started. Was it a set back? I don't know. Every good thing adds up.
I am now on Day 7. Last night Erica and Elise were in town and asked us to meet up for drinks. My old thinking of "it's only fun with alcohol" was present but I tried to plan ahead and think of what I would drink. Hot chocolate? Coke? a mocktail? I asked for a mocktail and they said all they had was soda. Ok give me a coke and lots of water. It was fine. I laughed and talked. The fire was about to set me on fire but I endured.
Tucker's issues still have me stressed out but I have to pray without ceasing for a break through for him. I have to pray that he will open up to help, ask for help, and take the advice. He makes life so difficult for himself.
I am thinking about supplements for Tucker but it can't be overwhelming
Consider-Cortisol-adrenal-stress, overwhelmed, ADHD trauma response, anxious, lack of focus and sleep, fatigue, allergies, acne
A few thoughts-LDN, Colostrum, Magnesium
He is already taking the B complex for mood in the morning. I dropped off Magnesium for the evening. If he starts with these everyday I think it will make a big difference. Plus, I dropped off some Hop water and it also has ashwaganda to help him chill out at night. Theanine also
