295 Days. I love reading this thread and watching everyone’s progress. There’s a lot of milestones lately and they just make me happy. Whether it’s a week, double digits, month(s) or year, they’re all a big win in my book. Congrats to all of you! Here’s to another day clean and sober.

Going to bed on day 302 still sober. Somehow I missed that I made it 300 days. To me, in my mind, I’ll celebrate 10 months on the 12th of this month so 300 days didn’t register with me as a big deal but I’m still thankful. That means only 65 days or so and it’ll be a year. I’m not where I want to be in my journey just yet but I’m getting there one day at a time. 
I love reading all your experiences here each day. It truly helps me stay sober.

- Coffee. A three day weekend started for me. I’m going to Belgium for a mini vacation with my friend. First time I’ll travel (except for a bike ride) in 9 months. Let’s relabel my anxiety into excitement. It will be fun. The weather should clear for one thing. I’ll try to keep you posted. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.

Day 18 and I’m working the next 2 days I’m so greatful to be in a job that I love … I did a ca zoom meeting last night and shared for the first time since I relapsed it was good to get out how I was feeling and a few ladies have me there number I really want to do my steps again last time I did my steps with a aa sponsor but I really want someone who understands how and what it’s like to take the same drugs as me. I was also reading my big book last night and as much as I read it I seem to always get something new from reading it . I’m feeling very blessed to be in recovery in determined to get it right thos time . I hope everyone here is doing ok. I wish you all a blessed day x

Thanks @Trudy, I don’t have any wise advise or a tried and tested theory on how to quit smoking. I really don’t know how I did it but my 9 year old daughter was a big catalyst. The amount of times she was refusing a kiss and cuddle because she said I stank were increasing, she kept saying I don’t love her because I was killing myself with cancer sticks. I guess I got tired of the breath mints and body sprays.
Seriously, I just wanted out of these addictions. I’d had enough of dearly paying for my own suicide. I quit and I got onto an app, like TS but for people quitting smoking, it’s closed now. So I said NOPE , Not One Puff Ever, and here I AM 342 days later an obnoxious ex smoker. 
Blessings and sobriety!

we all know ex smokers are the worst smokers . Funny how now you can smell it on people when you are in shops etc and if someone walks past smoking and blows it out your like OMG and start holding your breath.
I’m 2 weeks beer sober so weed and tobacco are just around the corner,then I’ll be happy again. Have a lovely day and may you find peace and acceptance in all that you do.

Day 48, had an Okey yesterday. But because I didn’t got in to school this time I was in a really bad mood. Still is today, I know there’s still a small chance that I’ll get in to my second choice, and I know I can make a new application this fall to start in January. And I’ll do just fine being at home another year and maybe even focusing on getting my drivers license.
I was so excited to make this change, start over get my self an education and eventually a dream job. And now it feels like I got stuck in the way. It’s really annoying. Seems like or city weekend won’t happen either, my husband wants to go camping in the woods instead. The boys too, if they can get S’mores. I prefer comfortable vacations and wants to rent a cabin so the negotiations is strong here.
Sun is shining today, we’re supposed to start clearing out the basement, it’s filled with years of crap that I want out so we can start use it.
Will be making some breakfast brownies and open up the pool in a bit.
Tomorrow there’s a bbq party at my sister’s place.
Wishing y’all a happy day

Realised the widget on my phone’s home screen is stuck on day 781, so I’ve got a couple weeks more in the bag than I thought!
I did a class on Zoom last night (Dru Dance - recommend!) and the teacher was talking about focusing on gratitude instead of guilt, and receiving as well as giving.
That really resonated with me. The pandemic and being in a position to quit my job have brought home how lucky I am. I do still feel guilt about that, but I am also working on embracing this opportunity and being grateful for it all
