@SkyDiver1 you got this! It’s so easy to let past experiences live in our head rent free, you’ve been through so much trauma. Take it a day at a time. I spent almost all of week 4 crying, week 5 & 6 have been a bit better. You’ll get there.
Thank you. The weekends are always when the urge to use is strongest. Thanks for reaching out. I was really nervous about tomorrow. I feel a lot stronger now. Thank you
That’s my next step!
Day 6- Sober. I am not an addict. My Brain is. And this morning, while exercising, I yelled and screamed at my Brain, told it No, and cried again but I did not use.
Way to go with your 70 days…this is fantastic
Day 6 and you are doing amazingly well Tim!
I am grateful that you found an outlet for your urges…I did a lot of screaming and punching pilloows, shadowboxing and crying. Whatever gets that stupid addict brain to shut up and let you live.
I know it is not the easiest journey but it is so fruitful and worth it and we are here to support you
Keep going strong
Day 7-Sober. Today was my first morning of relative peace. No real urges. Just one brief one. I told my brain no and moved on. This is a big milestone for me-making it to Monday morning. Weekends have been my kryptonite. I have always given in on the weekends but not this weekend. I made it through the weekend without giving in to my addiction. Today, I have a meeting with my addiction Coach and I’ll have nothing but good news. 100 push ups, 64 Pull ups/40 Bench Press and a 5 mile Ruck with 30 pounds is a lot better than giving into garbage and lies. I need to remember that. I need to remember that every morning for the rest of my life
Roger that, Simon. Will start making plans for next weekend
Thank you Jazzy. Thanks for the support. It means a lot
Today is day 45. Almost half way there which is super exciting.
My days feel as if they go on for ever & I’m really enjoying that on days when I’m not in work but work seriously drags in & I just want to get out & do nice/fun things.
Wow so much energy. I’m super unfit but trying to do some fitness challenges. Congrats on the 7 days, I get what you’re saying about the weekend being like kryptonite. My first sober weekend was New Year’s which was so strange but I got through it & the next & the one after that. It does get easier.
Nearing the end of day 25, day 26 here I come, day 100 you’re closer than I think!
So we start in March?
start now love – each of us has a different start date – goal is to get to 100 days and of course keep going… i honestly keep doing the 100 day challenge in 100 day increments and am now on day 419
here is a blank card for you – grateful to have you here with us
It’s not much but it’s a start to getting myself on the right track. I may have messed up (with not only letting my drinking getting bad but also getting kicked out of school…) but I can’t let this break me. I have to believe that with faith and determination I will reach an even bigger door.
I deserve to be happy despite my mistakes.
And that means being healthy.
That’s a brilliant idea, I’m stealing it I’m almost half way through my FIRST 100 days (day 47), I’ll be starting a new sheet when I get to 100
