Enough folks here to write with D. You can write me if you want. Most folks here are willing to privately converse with you. Look for people that appeal to you through their writing and what they are saying and give it a try. For me personally the open threads give me all opportunity I need to share. If you need more you can also find it here I’m sure. Success.

Morning of day 7. I’m still physically feeling the effects of withdrawal. I’m also battling anxiety and depression over the whole stay at home order. I’m sober and going to stay that way for today. I have to stop worrying about anything except the here and now because looking ahead can be a trigger for me. Taking it easy and really trying to allow myself to heal and feel like my old self. I’ve been working the steps in another App I downloaded, its a first for me. I’m trying to build a new routine and habits but slowly. Normally I say day 1and jump into too many things to try to stay busy but it ends up overwhelming me and then I fail again. Not this time, I’m going to do the work and get better not just sweep my addiction under the rug and find a distraction. Have a wonderfully sober Wednesday all, I appreciate you all sharing your journeys here.

Day 152.42 still a struggle but getting easier. Had a couple relapses since I started quitting but holding strong now. I wish I could say the same about the smoking. Cant seem to make it even a full day. Grrrr.

We’re here for you.
Yeah, I am snacking like a fiend, staying at home all day! I’m eager to get the cast off my foot so I can start exercising again! I want a doughnut now.

Checking in, Day 78. Nothing new to report except I’m still sober. But if I want just one thing that’d be the thing!

Thanks paul. I need that. I guess ate bound to be alone on this journey since people who are not addicts doesnt understand what this is like. They only see that we keep hurting ourselves but they cant understand why.

Good to see you back on day 6!!
Keep trying and taking it one day at a time.
I find it gets easier with each try (I’ve had too many restarts to count).

Day 5 sober. The levels of anxiety are growing and I have to do efforts to maintain peace. Cravings showed up offering me a fake relief.
Tonight I will have a telephone meeting thanks to God.
Union of prayers folks

Day 65.34
Completed a virtual 20 mile bike race on Zwift last night. Rough but good result for me.
Starbucks for take out coffee this morning, then work from home, outside bike ride, din din, sleep, rinse, & repeat.
Everyone have a great and sober day!!!
Hang in there and make the best of the weird world we live in these days.
…and remember Spring is here!!

Keep snacking…it is better than the alternative.
The early days are rough; keep at it and it gets easier.
Day 196… Creeping up on 200?!? Wow. Time is flying by so slowly. I’m at a weird place emotionally and mentally as most of us are. I try to focus on the positive - because there’s plenty of it in my life. I’ve battled anxiety & depression for years and this virus situation has me in one of the biggest battles of my life. Every day is an exercise in being mindful of what I can control and not letting the rest get to me. It’s so incredibly hard. My subconscious is not my friend. I’m not obsessing over anything or even thinking worst case scenarios. All the “worry” runs in the background of my mind and tortures me all day long. I know I will get through this. The process is just not fun. I’m so very thankful I’m sober right now!! If I had to be wondering where and when I could have my next drink I’d be a wreck. Being of sound mind right now is important for my family and my job (which I still have 
). I find myself wanting to isolate even more than is being called for. My best friend called yesterday and I didn’t pick up or call her back and I don’t know why. I’ll call her today and see if I can get myself out of this desire to be a hermit even in my own home. I’m so thankful for everyone who continues to share and offer support here on TS. Please keep sharing!! And if you’re new to this sobriety thing… Keep it up. It gets better and easier and it’s so very worth it!
