Yeah that’s why I was checking in. While I’m scared, the rational side of my brain is saying “they took you in, they don’t want your money (I asked if I could pay them rent, they said no), and they are the parents of your ex boyfriend. Why are doing this?” And then I think, “they must see something I can’t, holy crap” like what a weird situation! But there it is. Maybe there IS something to all of this!

Im at one week after 14months sober then a little lapse. I never thought id get any where near 14months but once I got into good routines and stayed out of places where I might be too tempted (unless I definitely had to be there) then it wasn’t as hard as I had expected. X keep safe love Rick

Wow 14 months is amazing!! Now you know you can do it and I know that if you can do it I can too 
… the complacency is the hard part as I’ve fell down there many times. Ah it’s ok… I’ll just drink tonight… bit that turns into weeks of drinking until I get so smashed… I realise I’m back on that same place again. I really don’t want to go back there again. Keep going Rick… we can do it!!

Help. On my way home from work now. And as the day was really busy and I need to buy some food- cravings and the urge to buy two bottles of wine is just killing right now. Not yet at the store…
Any recommendations to NOT buy alcohol?
Maybe already writing here helps me not to give in😉
UPDATE:
did not buy any alhocol … I am kinda proud

Yay! Good for you! Celebrate by doing something for you! My boss always said "you should reward yourself with something small, like chocolate, for doing good. And then it trains your brain to crave something besides alcohol and releases good endorphins"
Maybe I should give that a try! Oh still day 4!!! One day at a time!

Cherry cheese cake last night lol! Now I had a slim fast shake! Hope I don’t get too fat! Oh well
Checking in at 25days 17hours 39minutes. Feeling like my will to stay sober is slipping. Stress and PTSD shit is overwhelming me again and my brain just wants to get high. Not sleeping well at night needing naps in the day and having day terrors…fml. Fighting everyday with myself to keep away from caving. But I am struggling. Peace to you all I hope you are all doing well x 🕇

Hey girl-
I’ve been absent from the forum for a while…been trying some different tactics with my sobriety. I just read through all of your posts on this thread - I am SO PROUD of you. It actually brought a tear of joy to my eye, seeing how fired up u have been and passionate about the new direction you’ve taken. U know to expect bumps along the way, we all encounter them. U also know you’ve made it past them before and can do it again. Stay focused on where you are heading and what you want to achieve and u will get through the struggle you are encountering.

Thanks @Spartan_Chris! Good to hear from you. Was nice to see a little message from you. I know I can do it. I just feel like I cant. And I’m learning to trust what I know and not what I feel. I guess sitting with uncomfortable feelings is not always easy. Just gta ride the waves ay. Thanks for the support! Glad u are doing well!

If you think you can, or think you can’t, you are correct on both accounts. You’ve proven you can put one sober day after another. So why don’t you think you can add another day? It’s the dying desperate gasp of your addiction that is using the only weapon it has left: doubt. Stay strong, and let the addiction die. There’s no place in your life for it.
