Congrats on 4 months @Misokatsu!! Good luck at work. I’m sure you’ll pick it up quick. I’ve surprised myself on how much I’m able to learn so quickly being sober. I’m no young chicken so if I can do it then so can you.

Day 531. I’m doing okay today, but I’m feeling a sadness deep down that I don’t know where it’s coming from. It’s related to connection, but feels bigger and deeper than just feeling lonely. Not sure what it is. I want to push it back down where it was but I know that I’ve got to deal with it now that I’m aware, and let myself digest it properly. I’m just coming out of a depressed phase, I don’t want to invite sadness in… well, gotta do what it takes to do this right.

Yay for 4 mths! Well done. Best of luck sorting out the new way of teaching. I have lots of respect for teachers right now. They have really stepped up and are doing so many things outside of the norm right now.

Day 19. Today I’m just having a great day. Don’t know if it was the morning meditation or what. Just spending time with my kid tonight and it feels amazing. Maybe I just got a great natural feeling from the talking sober zoom meeting today. Whatever it is its working

What are kalms tablets? Hang in there as long as you can. Just take it one minute at a time. Hope you can get some rest soon. Have you ever tried meditation apps? I use Simple Habit & Calm apps. Several people like Insight Timer. Maybe try something like that if you haven’t.

I know I’m rarely logging onto TS these days and I recognize I am missing it. So I want to be here more often again.
Checking in on day 200 
I think it is not a milestone but for me it is special because now I have a 2 in front 
It’s a beautiful sunny spring day here in Germany. I hope you have a wonderful day. Enjoy the sun and warmth. Happy Sunday

The Q or quitnet was the website/forum that helped me quit smoking in 2015. It had a pledge system where you could form a chain of people promising each other not to smoke, just for today. The first one on the chain held the anchor so that was an important position right? Very sad quitnet is gone, the company who ran it went bankrupt. I’m at another site now called nope365 with a lot of other old members but it is isn’t the same (yet). Too little new members find their way yet and too many glitches in the way the site handles. But the pledging system is still there. Here’s me pledging on the old site together with my friend who gave me the anchor on the last day of the old Q

I wouldn’t take that feeling too personally, there is a bad undertone to the planet right now and I’m seeing the strongest of people getting depressed. Even on the good days there is still a sadness in the world right now and if its true we are all connected then its gonna be impossible not to feel it.

How you doing. Don’t try and rush this recovery, don’t even worry about trying to cope. It’s taken me forever to get 1 day behind me but it will come again, might not be exactly when you want it but your still here so it’s still possible. You are not alone in this.
