Do you experience symptoms? or is the test for pre caution? Anyway. Stay save and hope the result come back in negative.

That’s massive! :+1:t4::muscle:t3:

3 weeks completed. Yesterday I had massive cravings, but stayed sober. Trying to get it together and find out how to live a normal, more balanced life, what pleasures can I find in it.
Got an appointment for covid-test, but I think I just caught a cold.

50 day is completed. I am happy :slight_smile:.
I was able to complete 80 days before. After that I relapsed so many times. But I never gave up. What am I doing differently this time? I no longer have a romance with alcohol. my awareness increased. I learned that I cannot manage stress with alcohol. I admitted I didn’t need it to calm down. I admitted that I could not drink or be moderate drinker like the others. I learn to trust myself and manage my life in the natural flow. Every day I write 3 things that I am thankful for or that I am happy. I take my life back and keep going To be better. Have a nice week everbody

Glad it’s Monday. I bought a really nice desk, chair and a Mac for my living room yesterday, now just waiting for it all to get delivered. It’s just not realistic to only work from the office, especially with trying to learn photoshop, which is at zero right now. I can’t wait to be able to edit my pics :grin:

I am back at it again and I’m beginning day 8. I’ve been taking it easy and staying busy, when I have energy. I didn’t start checking in right away again because I am taking it slow this time. I always jump in to sobriety and many other changes/goals all at once and after 2 days I get overwhelmed and decide to go back to my DOC. I have been reading everyone’s posts and you are all so inspiring as usual. Congrats to those who are doing well and prayers and comfort to those who are struggling. I’m struggling but I want sobriety so bad. Each time I fall I get up stronger and more determined. It feels great to make it through the first week but I know I have a lot of work ahead of me if I’m really going to do it. Have a wonderful Monday everyone :grinning:

Day 245. Feeling like myself a lil bit today, learning alot through the funks and just learning when they come how to deal with them and get through them. Knowing they will pass is the best part. But yeah killer leg day work out, 525 on hax squats, my ass is on fire. 315 with hex lifts, and then 295 with straight leg deadlift. So was pretty decent heavy day. Finally got my battle ropes from the gym, so I plan on taring those up after work. Hmm🤔 not much else to say. Thank you all for the support and helping me push through on the bad days. You all are doing great. Never give up, always push to be your best. Remember when we are doing are d.o.c we can’t be are best.

Working on Day #38. Glad to have made it through another weekend sober. Today, the ballots will start to be returned and that’ll be just the beginning of a stressful month culminating in, of course, Nov. 3rd. I also have revisions on this latest novel due 10/31. Both are triggers i can’t avoid. They’re far off, but im already dreading them.

Writing & drinking, hard to separate. What’s your options and plan to avoid falling for the drink during writing? I would sincerely take advice!

Ya man. Pretty much sums it all. But what to do when it comes back to remember that?

Day 38. It’s a great morning already. So Thankful for God’s mercy renewed every morning. I just want to tell every one of y’all that I’m super proud of you, and I love you all. You are worthy, loved, beautiful/handsome, and powerful. I hope you all have an amazing Monday. Don’t wait until Friday, enjoy your day today! Remember there’s a reason the windshield is bigger than the rearview. Glance back only to see how far you’ve come, because if you spend all of your time looking backwards, you’ll never see what’s in front of you, until you’ve passed it. :yellow_heart:

Idk man. I don’t know when they are gonna come. I just feel when they are here. From there it’s all gods will, and my power to carry it out. Keeping myself safe, making sure I keep my routine and weight lifting going even when I’m not feeling it. Calling it quits early and laying down. Making sure I eat properly, plenty of water and pray I don’t fuck up
