Day 12 today and itā€™s my last day off before i go back to work ! Itā€™s been a long 6 months off and I canā€™t wait to see people again! Im feeling so good about my recovery Iā€™ve been doing lots of ca meetings and really getting lit up by them . Iā€™m so greatful the darkness is lifting out of my life . Iā€™m having a day with my son today he lives 20 miles from me and I feel so blessed he chooses to spend his day off at home that wouldnā€™t have happened a couple of years ago as he would avoid me cos I was so bad on drugs ( I donā€™t blame him ) I have so much to be greatful for today . Hope everyone is ok and having a blessed day x x

Iā€™m not sure really, I just think I could my best life without it. All everyone post about is partying and just looking for likes. I donā€™t post often, and Iā€™ll post alot about my sobriety. And I know not many ppl really care, this town needs some change so I like to share my journey tho in hopes in May inspire some ppl. But I didnā€™t know I could keep messenger so thatā€™s cool to know. I figured if I get rid of it then nobody will absolutely know my steps anymore, pretty much I feel alot of ppl are just waiting for me to fuck up. Tupper lake is just a different breed of ppl

Thanks bro. And yeah for sure, I kind of am upset atmy self because Ive been posting and saying Iā€™m going to do it. But have not done it yet, so now I kind of feel like a liar

Day 34 sober itā€™s been rough for me 2 days ago I had a cluster fuck of nightmares which is all a symptom of my CPTSD, this caused me to to feel very low and very sad resulting in a tearful end to the day in my wifeā€™s arms. She is such a beautiful woman a fantastic support and Iā€™m coming out of it now feeling alot more like myself. This is what it does it messes with my emotions and Iā€™m right back there and feeling lost and alone again and that so far from who I am. I would usually have a drink just to get some kind peace from the feelings while it is happening but I didnt and it wasnt an easy thing to do,even yesterday at 945pm sat in my PJs playing my computer I had cravings to get up and go over the road for some beer. Mad mad mad the world of addiction I tell u but Iā€™m still sober taking it 1 day at a time thatā€™s all we have thatā€™s all I can doā€¦peace out friends xx

I often started to workout but stopped after 2 or 3x . I did it to loose weight and failed.
Now I do it bc I want to be strong. Months ago I was too weak to get off my couch without pulling me up, like a grandmaā€¦so I thought that needs to change! And here I am. I thought I maybe can spread some of this feeling here?
And btw: my clothes start to fit way better already :star_struck:

I know that feeling all to well. My longest binge was a couple days. I was playing an RPG, watched youtube and Twitch. No sleep for about 60hrs. I donā€™t recall much of the outside world during that binge, all I remembered was my computer and telephone screen. Glad Iā€™ve managed to kick gaming

Day 296 under way here. Itā€™s scorching hot :fire: here in Texas today and Iā€™m off work (Yay!) for the holiday. Planning a lazy day with maybe some chores and a meeting thrown in. Iā€™ve done so many this week and Iā€™m really starting to understand my addiction and my brain a lot bettor. Itā€™s amazing how just talking and listening to other people with addiction really can help you understand yourself. Much like this forum does for me. It really helps to read about the struggles and triumphs on here! So keep going folks. Congrats @anon60334405 on 5 mths. Youā€™ve fought hard for those!! Well done. Keep it up!
