* Checking in daily to help maintain focus

Check in. In 30 minutes day 15 will be completed! It’s the weekend which means lots of triggers for me. Just trying to plan to stay busy and commit to staying sober for the weekend. Happy Friday y’all!

Day 210
Ran out of cigarettes Wednesday night. Haven’t bought more, so I suppose that means I’m probably giving those up as well. Not a huge smoker, a pack a week or a bit more, but it’s just lost any attraction lately.

Have a friggin fantastic Friday!!

Day 24! I had my biggest cravings so far yesterday afternoon. I just kept myself busy and told myself just don’t drink tonight, just worry about tonight! The feeling passed and it feels so good to have gotten a peaceful nights sleep and I’m waking up with no regrets.

Day 216. Just want to say a big thankyou to @Mno for meeting up this morning. It was a great way to end my trip to Amsterdam and genuinely the first time I have spoken to anyone about recovery face to face. A real pleasure. Have a great holiday week after next :+1:

Checking in at the end of day 4. Almost went to the store and got beer and smokes after work. Thought about TS and my recent Dr. Appt where my blood pressure was elevated due to “anxiety”. Won the battle and didn’t drink. Going to look for meetings to attend this weekend. Not sure i can do this without them. This is not easy.

Morning check-in Day 14
Happy Friday!!!
Taking the car for regular maintenance this morning.
Decided to head to the coast (Charleston, SC) this evening. Need to see some water. 3 hour drive to the condo door-to-door. Very tired, but being close to the ocean will revive me.
Stay sober everyone!!!

Your doing amazing, your bf is lucky to have someone so strong in his life. There’s probably not a day goes by when I don’t think about drink or drugs buts all they remain, thoughts. Well done again
