Well I was going to empty my spam and turns out I’m not carrying any negativity today. Did everything I set out to do, chilled with movie and chocolate, caught up with a mate, chatted to my daughters, walked dog, did housework, done some shopping. Stayed sober. Odd bc it feels like I’ve been on my phone all day. Be strong.

Going to bed sober again and obviously it’s early days and yes I’ve been here before but when you really can’t be arsed to do your doc it’s a whole new ball game. No, oh I should give up or must quit or maybe if I just tried this or that to take my mind off it. I’ve not wanted alcohol, weed or tobacco for nearly 5 days now, no cravings no nothing it’s all just gone, god as you understand him has removed that part of me and as we all know that’s a huge part of who we think we are, we wear the label “addict” we live and think how the mind of the addict is supposed to but im not feeling it I don’t think I have to do or think anything, yes I’m Paul and yes I’m an alcoholic but these are just things I’m told to say by AA but I’m me and my thoughts are my own and I don’t feel like an alcoholic bc I have no desire to drink. Be strong.

No beer no weed no tobacco no problem.
Quickest 7 days of sobriety I’ve ever had, I’m sure there will be some hard days ahead but right now I find it hard to believe that. I’m not being complacent I just don’t want any of it. Be strong.

Nice one, there’s only one place to start and that’s at the beginning, wish you well on the rest of your journey.
I’ve only eaten one snickers ice cream today and that’s all the chocolate I’ve had all day, you know how it is when you stop drinking and smoking, we start eating. I think I’m going through that I need to start changing everything around me stage. it’s like a bloody merry go round this recovery but I’ve had that much experience I don’t listen to all the voices all the time so this time round my Mrs can stay 
. I’m just going to concentrate on changing me and not everyone else so checked out times and prices for swimming sessions for when places start opening again and instead of chocolate 
I ate - grapes, banana, strawberries, satsumas and plenty of veg including kale. kale is a very good food for you if you don’t mind the taste. be strong, be safe and be yourself.

Day 10 and very pleased to be here. You lot help more than you know, yeah I might run on sometimes but for anyone that doesn’t go to any meetings one of the golden guidelines for your recovery is to try and help others and you help yourself. We don’t have all the answers bc it’s not just sobriety people are dealing with on here it’s troubles and worries in life, but we can always listen to each other bc a problem shared is a problem halved. No matter how many times we fall it will never be too late to try again and life isn’t always going to be amazing and care free just bc we don’t drink, everyone has hassles in life not just addicts but we can use the things we learn in recovery and we know more than some what strength we really possess and use it in other areas of our lives. Be strong.

It was more a case of I got a new phone and it’s took me 6 hours to set it up. Lost everyone on WhatsApp and couldn’t remember any app passwords. I was hoping to just transfer everything over but no hope, I’m crap with technical stuff. Just bring able to post a gif is like the work of the gods for me.

Another great day all in all. Don’t know what’s happened to me lately but while others are trying to find things to fill the day I’m more than happy to just be sober. I think if you can be happy in your own skin not a lot else can really hurt. I’m on the front line loads of people I know are ill or dead and my Mrs may lose her job and we’ll have hardly any money but so what. Life is like sobriety we’ll take it one day at a time and see what happens for about 15 hours then go to bed. Be strong and sober warriors.

One day done again. nothing to complain about. Still on cloud 9 and wondering when the come down is going to happen, typical mind of an addict worrying about not having nothing to worry about. Keep it simple and as ever be strong.
And remember :

going to bed sober yet again and I’m happy with how quick 2 weeks has gone and still can’t get my head round how I’ve not had a smoke either, why don’t I even crave for anything, why am I even bloody asking. The trick is to stop putting all your mental time and energy into thinking about it every minute of every day, stop worrying about what you’ve lost and be aware of the present and what you have gained. I know I go on about him from time to time but as well as my Higher Power for recovery Eckhart Tolle has helped me with life. If you’re willing to try anything and you’ve not heard of him then read The Power of Now. I don’t get commission I just want to help someone and it may be you. Goodnight sober warriors and a big shout out to all the new people, stay strong and always believe in YOU.
