18 months today, and what a totally bizarre and intense 6 months it’s been since my 1 year. I need to do some serious reflecting and planning over the next few days/weeks, try and make some sense of it all. I feel like ive just been existing rather than growing in this time. I want to use this milestone as a full stop, time to move on and press forward with more positivity.
Have a great sober day folks 
Seems to me like an excellent plan friend. Congrats on reaching another big milestone!
Thanks mate. I’m a bit more enthusiastic about things this morning, just need to hold onto the feeling.
Great news, well done on those numbers, keep on stacking
@Hailstrom Amazing stuff!

Mood stabilizing drugs are different from mood altering drugs.

Day one but actually feeling really good and positive. Going to be checking in as it seems to help me stay accountable daily.
Day 13 second check in
On the sober home run now. Didn’t get much work done, but made banana and white choc cupcakes, and a more time-consuming dinner than usual. Was ashamed at how worried my daughter’s face was when she peeked round the door when she came home, but at least she was soon reassured that I was sober. And demanded to go to the park, as she had a social engagement 
.
Do you listen to music while you work? What do you do for fun?
I begin my day sober.
It took me 6 months to fully master the headstand. Keep at it and you will get there 
Happy Monday! Checking in sober, Day 230. Wishing everyone a strong, safe, happy week!!
Day 1 sober. I am not the center of the universe. I need to work on relationships
Less than 4 hours away from hitting day 3! I even stayed strong after coming home and finding my boyfriend drunk as hell last night… very proud of myself this morning 
Day 11 woke up with my face swollen down one side whenever I get really stressed I get cysts on my face… it looks terrible but hopefully once the antibiotics kick in I’ll feel better when I relapsed 11day ago I got so down and stressed with myself I really gave myself a hard time so I think it’s now come out with a cyst… I need to learn it’s ok to have some me time and not keep myself so busy that I run myself down… so today im being kind to myself and resting gonna watch some films with my daughter and eat chocolate! Happy Monday to you all x
For the first time in a very long time, me too. I was so resistant for many years.
Hope you feel better soon Natalie!
Day 31! Yesterday we went on a hike with the grandparents. We came accross all these forts made out of wood. My daughter goes “Where did the piggies go?” She thought the three little pigs built them. Oh man yall, I love this age and so happy to be sober and enjoying every minute!
Same here. Was on a TCA (amitriptyline) something like 15 years ago, only because I couldn’t sleep no more and that drove me totally nuts. Decided after quitting it to never do any medication again. Kept it up till 4 weeks ago. So far I’m happy I changed my mind. Still cautious and apprehensive about it. But so far so good.
I don’t think hubby should have a say when it comes to your recovery. Just my 2 cents😉
