Yes definitely, and it gets better for sure! I have to practice sleep hygiene and that’s hard. So I go through spurts of really good sleep then some insomnia. My mornings always rock though in comparison to waking up hungover and wanting to die! Small victories for the win!

This describes a lot of what’s on my plate right now. My mind is my nemesis. If I can let go of worrying about failure, I can take some next steps. But I haven’t figured out how, yet.

16 days sober and I’m seriously considering giving up weed now. Should I wait a bit longer or just get on with it. I really want to stop drinking so I’m finding it easy - ish. But I do enjoy my weed, I only want to stop because it’s about a £200 a month habit. Stopping weed is going to be traumatising. Also can you have more than 1 timer on this app, I don’t want to try and accidentally delete my progress.

You can set multiple timers for different addictions. I would definitely give up the weed, at the moment it’s likely acting as a replacement for the drinking. I used to think that I would smoke weed forever, so glad I stopped it some years ago. Give it a try, it’s too expensive nowadays anyway :+1::grinning:

It’s definitely not a replacement as I’ve been smoking longer than drinking I’m just not sure 2 things at the same time is to much to cope with. I’m going to set up a new timer and see what happens. This is surely gonna be a nightmare, I was proud I stopped drinking but I’m going to have to tap into some pretty divine shit to do this.

Checking in
A few hours from day 10.

My flight leaves at 7:45pm. I’m feeling a bit bummed out… I really don’t want to leave my GF or Texas for that matter. However, I do need to get back home. I need to find employment and begin saving so I can move out here indefinitely.
Back to reality I guess. It’s sad, but I am mindful of my responsibilities. Not only for her, but for myself. The only way I can be a good partner is by improving myself first.
So, that being said, one last afternoon by the pool :wink:
Please tell someone you love them today…

… And in case YOU haven’t heard it today
YOU’RE AWESOME & I LOVE YOU :grinning::call_me_hand:

(Edit: I’m out of likes but you all are doing great today :muscle:t3:)

Growing up, anything I did less than perfect was unacceptable to my mom. On the flip side, I got teased at school for being ‘too smart’ (apparently there is such a thing).
So I learned very early to walk a very fine line between 2 different standards of approved performance, not old enough or supported enough then to know that I got to have my own standards.
I know better now, but some things are so elementally ingrained that we often don’t realize what is holding us back.

Good lad, you got got this :+1::+1::+1::+1::+1::muscle::muscle::muscle::muscle::muscle::muscle:

Awesome. No a huge fan of San Antonio :upside_down_face:, but it’s close to so many fun/active cities… New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Austin, Kerrvile, Fredericksburg. Did she move there for work, school, family?

She moved here to be with family. Given that I have only been here for five days I cannot really judge SA. However there is no snow in Texas and to a Minnesotan that’s all I needed to hear to want to move out here lolololol.
