Checking in sober. Trying to stay focused on the present moment as much as possible… easier said than done. Hope you all are well :yellow_heart::dizzy:

Amethyst is the best one! Grounding ones are also super helpful, things like hematite, shungite, etc. Carnelian can help too as it’s revitalizing. There are soooo many good ones!

I have used gemstones a lot on my healing path, each stone energetically carries different vibrations that can assist us. I keep them in my pockets often! I carried moonstone often too in sobriety and wear several rings made of moonstone, it isn’t addiction specific but it helps my personal growth.

Good luck love, reach out anytime! :heart:

Day 23! I deleted my last post because it was so negative. I realized there is a whole thread dedicated to being sad and so I might post over there for a while till this passes.
Honestly I looked at the calendar and realized it could just be my hormones. I relapsed last month before my period. My cycle is only 23 days (as opposed to 28) which I also did some research and shorter cycles have stronger hormones. I also have been having really bad ovarian pain for the last 10 months I have been ignoring. Might cause my hormones to be worse, idk. So I am dedicating today to FINALLY getting this problem fixed. Going to try to get some health insurance and make a Dr. Apt. I have been ignoring this for way tooooo long.

Niagara Falls, Canada ?
My home town…

I am in the US. Its been a while since I have been in Canada. I remember me and my friends riding our bikes across the border with nothing but a friendly wave from the border guards (pre 911). I miss it for sure!

Day 685.

It’s raining. Again. It’s been raining for almost 2 weeks straight. I’m trying to not be bummed out when the weather is gloomy because after all it’s just weather. As I’m sitting here writing I’m thinking I could meditate to the sound of the real rain since that seems to be a sound I see on meditation apps lol. Also, going to try some affirmations today. Still trying to work on self confidence and self esteem that I thought I improved a while ago but little life reminders tell me something different apparently. :upside_down_face: I’ve been trying to eat healthier and get a better sleep schedule but not doing too well! Especially with sleep. Ah the minor turbulence in sobriety…better than waking up hungover, not remembering the night before, and exhausted from having a break down! :slight_smile:

Hangover free mornings will keep me sober more than anything, lol.

Selenite is a crystal that can cleanse and charge other crystals. Moonlight is also a great way to cleanse crystals, it’s the method I use the most. Sunlight as well. Here’s a cpuple of links with a few methods you might find useful
