I think there are peaks and troughs in sobriety (and life!), and external factors like family, world events can trigger a trough. You are also doing great! Congrats on 60 days!

14.52 days, and if I’m being honest, I’m not feeling the sober thing right now. I’m safe for today, I think anyway. We will see what happens.
My ED is of grave concern right now and I’ve asked my ex to take my 14 year old until after I move so I can get it under control. I’m a very bad influence on her. She’s very overweight. She already has a disorder, I don’t want her turning to what I do which is a vicious cycle of anorexia and bulimia. I have an unhealthy relationship with my body and appearance. I obsess constantly. I honestly don’t know how I’m alive between this and drinking.
So I’m at 1.44 days with this. I had to take 3 Benadryl to sleep off the cravings yesterday. So literally went to bed at like 6:30pm. But I made it and on to day two.

My sympathies. Problems with food and body image are so deep rooted! On the surface I am not drinking, and several days without binging. Yet I still duck to avoid my reflection in mirrors.

That awesome! Congrats on 60 days! Just remember that even without the impact of substances it’s natural to have ups and downs in our moods and there are absolutely other stressors that impact how we are feeling and reacting to others. Good for you for being self aware and thinking about how your environment is affecting you right now.

Day 1 sober. Tendency to isolate more but I know is not the way. Just sharing here because I don’t want to close down

Oh wow they are gorgeous. There are quite a few coming out near me but they are the pale ones. Still lovely though.

A lesson I often need reminding of too. We do indeed live in interesting times.
Best thing we can all do is work on keeping our side of the street clean.

Good morning. Day 76 clean and sober. Another sunny day! It takes alot of effort for me to see the upside in what I consider a down time. Grateful that I am working my recovery at this time because I am not sure if I could or would survive if I was still active im my many addictions. The added stresses of todays world have that voice in my head saying drink or pick up. Friends are relapsing, yesterday a friend that I’ve been talking with about being more than friends got a diagnosis of cancer like wtf it hurts so much to even write that. Three years today since my wife passed. Trying to remember what I’ve learnt and be who I want to be not who I was. Higher power please help me get through today!!

Day 362. Almost one year now. I don’t post much on here recently, but owe the forum yet another thanks for helping me get my mind right. I feel like I’m in a good place mentally, and overall in my life. It’s because I’m not drinking. It’s been a rough string of days to get here, but I think that is always the case. It is a lot easier to manage sober, and I still have no interest in going back to a life of intoxication. Stay strong out there!
