Michigander here, too! Oh, those Lions. 
Huge congrats on half a year! That’s amazing!!!
I’m withdrawing ATM but not from my DOC. I’ve been moved from temporary housing and they have re-registered me with a local doctor. The trouble is the home have taken over the ordering and dispensing of meds, no-one here can tell me who I’m registered with even. So yet another day without pregabalin, following not getting any venlafaxine. Although not as dangerous, withdrawal from venlafaxine is worse than pregabs. Brain zaps, itching, tactile hallucinations, sleep walking, sleep paralysis, teariness, agitation, anxiety. At least it reminds me what acute withdrawal is like.

Love Flagstaff. Love the weather!! The outdoor activities are endless. Enjoy:)
Wow, good job. I have never smoked, personally, but I have heard from others that it can be a real bitch to kick that particular habit.
Hey friends, day 52 check in! I have been really, really, happy lately. So happy that I had to google if I am in fact, bipolor (Im not)… just happy. I think I am just excited for fall. I have a doctors appointment in 10 days which is a huge relief! Self care has been the theme of my life lately. 
It feels incredible guys. Not a craving in sight. Hope you all have a good day!!

Thank you. I’m really hoping. If it’s meant to be, it will
I keep asking my therapist if I’m bipolar, or borderline personality disorder bc I go through the same as you. He assures me I am indeed none of those, they are extremely hard to work with he says lol. Good job on 52 days

Yeah BPD was another thing I thought maybe I have. I guess I should probably ask a therapist instead of google. 
Another thing to put on my self care list… see a therapist! I am just gonna enjoy being happy for now. Cant complain!!

Hey Jenna. I hope your day is going well after your rocky start this morning. Thanks for the shout out in your other post. Bacon is always great on everything. It has been a pleasure following your sobriety and watch how well you are doing. I just loved loved your shares that I read this morning. So thought out and intelligent and positive and emphatic.
And this one here sounds like I would have been when I was younger. The Blame Game part. My wife and I play the Blame Game all the time for fun. Or is it 
. Or was it just me? I been catching myself lately and not doing it even though we just do it for fun. I was always so paranoid about being late I’d set 3 or 4 alarms and drive myself crazy. I love the way you thought out all the issues this morning and wrote them down and shared them here. You could not do any of these lovely shares today if you were using or drinking or whatever.
And way to go on 80 freakin days!! I’m so happy and proud of you. A great person like you deserve the benefits of sobriety.
from one of your cheerleaders. You rock.

Good morning Sophia. For me anyway. Hope your day went well. Love your food shares. Most of the time I got no idea what your talking about with some of the stuff you eat. 
. But I do love reading it. My Polish background has me enjoying pickled almost anything. But that is not my wife’s style at all. So I’ve lost the desire. But that’s ok. Love a pickled herring. Especially in a sour cream sauce. Dad would always buy these crazy pickled sausages when I was young. I loved them so. . And a ham sandwich for Santa . That’s crazy!! But I love it . I’d rather have had a bite out of the ham sandwich back then. Makes sense.
And your such a nice trusting person. Much more so than I. Be careful around anyone that you may think is doing drugs. Your the sober one and you know.
And I love how you follow your heart. Inviting your aunt for thanksgiving. Don’t know if I could do that. But then again I don’t like any family gatherings with any family at anytime. Then I sit here Thanksgiving and enjoy the stories and television shows of great big family gatherings. Funny huh. But deep down I know I’d hate it. I do love my kids and wish we could be all together for Thanksgiving just immediate family. No extras!! But that isn’t going to happen because of Covid-19 and our distance. But that’s ok. Not sure why I’m going off on all this. But wanted to touch base with you.
And awesome job on “one more day at a time”. You got this.
Is pink a gypsy color?
And I’m dying to know if you have a Christmas
Lutefisk? I’ve heard, but never have had the pleasure of that nasty sounding tradition.

Oneeeee week today! So stoked. I can’t believe it. It’s been such a long time since I’ve made it this long. I’m at work and it’s kinda dull today. Brought my workout clothes to stop at the gym on the way home. I’m looking forward to that. Then making a nice dinner with hubs and taking the dogs out for a walk. Hope everyone has a great day!

I hope they get this sorted out for you soon. I hate when I don’t get my antidepressant. It gives me so much anxiety because I’m afraid of the outcome even missing one day.

Day 250.
So in a attempt to meet new people I installed a app on my phone to find new people. Since I don’t have many friends and I don’t know any women anymore I thought i’d try it.
I stumbled uppon the profile of my ex girlfriend. My suspiciouns were right.
It kinda shocked me to see her on there.
I regret downloading the app. I do not wish to date anyone any time soon. Just wanted to meet some new people that I might get along with.
Now all I feel is sadness.
Anyway. Don’t know how or when all of this crap is gonna end.
A big part of my life wants to block out love completly out of my life. I don’t wanna get fucked like this ever again.
But the other part want’s it some day. A new person in my life that will love me the way it’s supposed to be.
I feel so many emotions these days. Sadness. Happiness. Relief.,…

That’s a tough one, Jonathan. I think if you try not to overthink it and let life happen as it should, or will.
You will fall in love again and it will be a more honest one.
Enjoy today as best you can.
