It whispers to me when I’m hungry so I keep quick food fixes handy!

Congrats, sounds like a fun time. I know what you mean gotta stay busy busy or that addict does creep up. I just have to keep playing the tape, I can’t really think of any good times in my addiction. But yeah it’s crazy to think 12 more days is gonna be two months. I just feel like I’m gonna be something great if I stay on the sober path, and I don’t want to mess it up. I want to see who Im meant to be and staying sober I’ll find out. But if I stay in my old ways, all I’m gonna be is a 30 year old who parties like a teenager with no goals or life ahead of him. Literally I was acting like a teenager

Been a while since a posted a check in here. I visit every day but, like at AA meetings, I prefer to observe and learn rather than draw attention to myself. Thanks for allowing me to be here and heal!
Today is Day 
I’ve been through a lot of highs and lows in that time, from reluctant early sobriety filled with self-loathing to a pink cloud filled with optimism to a grey valley filled with self-doubt… Today I am grateful to be sober and content, especially given the non-stop news of the world.
At AA yesterday we had <10 people when meetings typically were 40-50. Today the meeting was closed due to the virus and social distancing. This group is even more important now. Thanks for being here!

Today makes eight months (well, technically 243.33 makes it eight…). It’s just gotten better with each passing day. Nothing else going on, outside of the norm.
Have a strong day!!!

Day 20. Has a nice ring to it. Woke up feeling a lot lighter in spirit and it’s been a good day so far. Almost finished baking the second batch of cookies - I finally got around to it! Hubby and I are about to obsess over playing each other on Wii Dr. Mario, hopefully no name calling or hurt feelings happen, JK We haven’t done this together in a long time. Another “personal best,” sober video games. Happy Sunday, folks!
Today I’m grateful for:
- cookies!
- sleepy Sundays
- cozy basements on cold, grey days

Thanks for sharing Megan.
Yes you are right.
We can come back from anything as long as we have life.
It’s can be a real kick in the guts, especially if we have had to build everything once already.
But it shows our strength that we can keep coming back.
It’s trying times for us all, some of us more than others.
We pull together, we adapt.

Congratulations! I have yet to try video games sober. Think I am too new to sobriety to tempt myself that way. Super happy for you!
I’m 19 days in.
Does the “mindfuck” of emotions ever slow down, stop or get better?
I’m replaying and having memories pop up so randomly and so uncontrollably lately.
Lots of these memories are really giving me a sense of anger and regret…
It is as if the last 10 years of my life have never been truly processed until now and it’s all kind of spilling out all over the place!

Day 6.
Really not much to say today. Our governor has shut down our state until April 6. So a little nervous as to what that means for my and my team’s jobs. Also divided as to whether the self isolation will be a boon or a bane for my sobriety. Can’t “grab a brew” with a friend (which turns into 12 more when I get back home), but also greatly reduces leisure activities besides drinking.
I see a lot of people using this time to pursue new hobbies, but I can’t for the life of me think of a new skill or hobby I am interested in.
Really thankful to have this community. So glad I can chat with you all during these difficult times.

Yes it gets better. Be kind and gentle to yourself as your body reconfigures the chemicals. Take it one day at a time. 
Keep going.

That’s totally normal. I suffered those feelings for the first 2 months. And I think it is that you weren’t able to properly process it. What really helped for me was trying aa and I felt better immediately after the first meeting. I’ve started stepwork and things are making so much more sense. I’m missing them now. Find people to talk with that understand what you’re going thru and it will make all the difference.
