So do it @Kipper. Sometimes we gotta just stop and let the crap happen. As Joanie says, baby yourself.
Take care.

Love it. If I may be annoying, an instinct to spin this sober-positive…
- Waking clear headed
- Vivid new memories
- Better choices
- Acceptance
- I like how I behave and who I am sober
- Making amends
- Community
- Belief something wonderful is happening
- Breaking the cycle of family addiction
- Not needing to pick up even one
- Open sobriety
- Peace from doing what’s right
- Time and tension relieved not planning the day around drinking/using
- Hope
- Making amends
- My health!
- Setting a good example for my kids
- Thinking before I speak (usually, lol)
- Remembering conversations
- Sober phone calls
- Sober texts
- Healthy diet
- Sleeping well
- Return of senses
- Being present and mindful
- Overcoming fears and thinking of others

3 & 1/2 months…
Extremely grateful to be where i am today compared to where i was on day 1.
Throwing up, couldnt hold food down
Was rescued from a shitty hotel to my moms house
Weeks without sleep
Couldnt stop clenching my jaw, lost almost all control of motor functions
Complete and utter torture, words couldnt ever describe. Literally accepted the fact that i was going to die.
Thank God. Im here & healthy now about to make my move back to LA and start a new life, to help others and try to do Gods will. I now have my Own Personal Evidence that there is a Spiritual Entity that controls all things.

Latrice, your story is inspiring. You have been through hell. And you didn’t use that as an excuse to drop your recovery. Sorry about your terrible losses. Life still goes on, and congrats that your coming up on 34 months of sobriety. Thanks for sharing.

Day 21!
Now officially the longest I’ve been sober from the 50x I tried. I’m so proud. The weekend was really nice. My little guy went for a visit with his Auntie so I enjoyed a bath with bath bombs, face masks, movies in bed… It was spectacular.

- This recovery stuff can be all consuming. Where do people find the time to lead productive lives outside of working their recoveries? One thing’s for sure, I couldn’t do this while under the influence of anything… Gotta run again. Halfway through my working week. Have a good sober day all! Love from Amsterdam.

A week down Jen 
You go girl!! 
Congratulations @lifeswhatyoumakeit, 2 months is just wow!
@sprinkles, maybe buy weights so you can lift those while sitting? It’s not cardio, but it’s something 
And double digits for you @ThePower! Keep those sober days rolling and you will get at those 90 days you want.
Wow, what a story @Miss_Tricey_1970, thank you for sharing. It shows: if you can, we can!
Thank you 
3 weeks in your pocket @Opentheclouds!

Day 350, 
(just 2 
)
Thinking about increasing my work out days. For now I’m going 2 times a week sometimes 3.
I can’t go in the evening, can’t motivate myself for it, so it has to be in the morning. Now I’m thinking: what if I go before work?
But that would be soooo early
