Take care my friend. Seems hard road ahead, but like you said, you’ve survived worse. Much better days to come. Once the healing is complete, looking forward to you posting those gym selfies as you rebuild

@Jimieg you are a bold man!! You choose sobriety again and that it what really matters. Day 8 sober here. A day full of cravings and bad thoughts. I spoke with my sponsor, I cleaned, pray, read, cook and I will work later on. Still my heart is tight and tense. I hope to endure this dark moments

Hey man I’m sorry your going through this, I actually remember going through the same as you around my 54 day to 60 mark, it will pass. It’s like are brains reset for each month of being sober, seems weird but that’s how it felt for me and each time I came out feeling more clear, in control and happy. Keep pushing, which I know you will. Also, don’t have to try this but cold showers seriously have been life safers for me when I get into my funks, I literally no matter how pissy and shitty I feel, smile once I turn that cold water off, like it’s a totally different smile. I hope you are having a better day man

Appreciated my friend. All the best on your journey . Your on the right path doing what is necessary n reaching out. Stay positive n remember why you chose to walk away from that which was destroying you n find the strength to rebuild
It’s ok to take you time. In fact it’s ok to say, I need help. Actually - it’s necessary to say, I need help. We in addiction recovery have such a long history of going it alone, not asking for anything from anyone, and that’s part of what threw us out of balance in the first place.
Ask for some help with your teenager. Anyone: family, friends, community centre. Or maybe if it’s just General life tasks that are getting overwhelming, ask for help with those.
Early sobriety is very much a you time, and that can last for months. You do not need to be the emotional or physical support for others. You are building your inner support - first. Only after that is secure can you support others.
You can do this. But you will need help. Do you have someone who can shoulder some of the responsibility?

Checking in at 6.0 days. Wild dreams when I do sleep. I haven’t slept well in weeks and it’s catching up with me. Pushed myself way too hard with work yesterday, and I paid for it last night and today. I’ll get there. Duty calls and I just can’t ignore it. Unless I’m dead, then I can ignore it 
Happy sober day guys.

Now is the time to double down on recovery, reach out more, read more, focus on you more. If I lose focus on recovery a relapse isn’t far behind it. Hang in there, shift gears and kick it high gear.

So funny dude, the night before last night I had a dream about using coke. But I didn’t actually use it, I got the coke and in my dream felt the depression and shame so I just kept it in my pocket, so weird. But kind of same as you lol. You’re killing it tho man, congrats
Here’s to day 1 for the 400th time it seems!
