I quit nicotine 24 days after alcohol. I’d wanted 30 days but I was too impatient to wait any longer. I had this mentality of “what can be done today why wait until…” And yes it was hard core as I quit Cold Turkey, I didn’t even chew gum to help. The first 3 days were hell, the rest is truly history. You’re at a great place and if you do crave just imagine the stench of an unbrushed smokers mouth when they wake up in the morning. Urgh!!
Blessings and sobriety!

Your ability to “do you” is one of the things I admire most about you, my friend. Good for you for doing whats right for you and letting go of concerns surrounding what others may think of your choice. It takes a different kind of strength to do that, a strength that plenty of people never develop.
I was watching an episode of “Mad Men” the other night, and there’s a line at one point about how one of the biggest things in life is the question of doing what is right for you and what you want vs what is expected of you. It really resonated with me, as has your post today

Oh Marie, don’t loose hope and do try again. I don’t what to say so I’m sending you strength and hugs. Praying you get right back to recovery.
Blessings and sobriety!

Checking in, happy Sober Saturday! Got more snow last night - I suppose if I leave the Easter eggs white rather than decorating them they’ll be next to impossible to find tomorrow!

I need to save this post to remind myself of the same. Very impressive! That takes a lot of growth!

Thanks Paul. I’ve checked in late today, I seem to be so busy all the time but I try and make sure to check in for accountability. Hope your Easter weekend is going great so far. With social distancing and all, all days are just the same for me. Take care and stay safe.
Blessings and sobriety!

Checking in at 3.71 days. My physical whatever, withdrawal? Who knows, was worse yesterday and today. Just feeling awful and looking even worse than I feel. So that sucks. Anyway, I’m sober today and I need to work on the disconnect between knowing I need to be sober and wanting to be sober. I don’t necessarily care if I live or die, I’m lonely, I’m in isolation alone, I’m too insecure to meet anyone sober so I need to prepare to die alone. I’m a thorough introvert, but this is a little much. I miss going into the office, as that gave me a little sanity. There’s me spreading some sober sunshine your way folks

12 days whooooh, getting close to new territory ahah. Today was a bad day though, cloudy thoughts, felt like a caged animal, nothing to do (although I do have things I like to do and things I need to do). A bit of fitness helped at the end of the day, cleared my head a bit but uuuugh I know there’s one thing that’d instantly cheer me up. Resisting so far!

Visited my mom in Wallingford and took this pic looking toward Killington/Pico - still snow there too.

That’s beautiful!
I’m from MA but also lived in NH for a few years when I was married. I think VT is one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen.
