Thanks. The cannabis I just look at the same way as alcohol. There’s wine in the grocery store, and I don’t even notice. Same with the cannabis store next to it, and same with the liquor store next to the other grocery store I visit. 99.9% of the time instead of seeing a temptation, I just see an irrelevance. That’s how I know that becoming someone who doesn’t want to drink is better than just stopping the drink!
And when the thought does pop up, like today, I’m thankful that it’s not hard like it was in the beginning, because now generally, as soon as I remember I don’t want it, the thought goes away.
322 days sober. It still sounds foriegn when I say it out loud, three hundred and twenty two days. I never dreamed of being here until the day I decided to. And I wasn’t alone, everyone here cheered me on and helped me along the way, for that I am grateful. Also, it’s 7:25 PM and still no baby, but they will break the water here shortly so it should catapult Tina into labor.
Checking into day 14. It was my first day back into the gym for a while. Only did some cardio on the treadmill and bike machine but got in about 4 miles on the bike and 2 miles on the treadmill. Ate extremely healthy as well. I made a weight goal of 135 lbs (currently at 171). I intend to follow through on my commitments. Stay sober everyone and keep as positive as possible. Mindset is everything!
Day 80. Feeling good, have been in lots of triggering situations lately, including yesterday when I popped round my brothers on the off chance after work, he was there with one of my old friends watching a movie, drinking and doing cocaine.
I stayed an hour or so, had only some mild temptation and left happy.
Hey! Still kicking it, and still trying to become sober. I am doing lots of reading on the forums, and getting good tips and advice. Keep on keeping on!
Day 328
A week to go and then I have 11 months in my pocket. Moving forward to the 1 year mark!
Exited to be were I am now.
Was sober for 5 years and then relapsed. Drank a period of 1,5 year and quit. Relapsed after a few weeks but got right back on the horse.
And look were I’m today: day 328
One day at a time, every day of it!
GO GET IT!
Day 65. Having coffee on the morning after the festival. It’s amazing how fresh I look (and feel) compared to 99% of the folks here. As well as how I felt and looked on previous occasions. Have a great sober day or night all!
Day 169. Ive not been checking in recently (not sure why). Things are good and ive been trying to focus on life improvements outside of sobriety. New routine is going well, early mornings, plenty of exercise. Its not been easy and I still have a lot to learn about what is right for me. I do know for sure that non of this would be possible if I were still drinking, and Im grateful for that.
I hope you are all doing brilliantly, and for those that have celebrated milestones that I have missed, congratulations!!
Day 10… Officially double digits.
Also officially starting to feel the numb bits coming back.
Cannot get to sleep at night or lay in in the mornings. And all the root causes of my using are starting to come up from the depths of me.
35 days without alcohol, 35 days waking up with clear mind, 35 days without beening ashamed of myself beeing drunk, 35 days of hope, 35 days since I took a step forward. Best 35 days since last 2 years.
