@Dragonflygirl82 @Frank68 Happy, happy birthday!
@Briella you and I started on here at about the same time. I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling. Is there something you could try differently to see if you get better results?
@RosaCanDo I hope your wrist is feeling better.
Well done on 30 days , I’m hoping I can make it there at least this time 
Thanks man. I really worked myself up at work went into the bathroom and started crying. I asked to leave I was having a moment of not wanting this anymore again. I came home took a shower, played some music and now I’m gonna relax. When I hit up a meeting tonight I’m gonna ask for a sponsor, I’m not dry drunk I’m very happy usually. But I hate when these thoughts come I let them control me
As best we can we’re here for ya.
Let it out. Deaths sucks.
Right on bro. I’m always here if you need to talk, proud of you man!
Omg @Clarity if there ever was a place to let things out it’s here for sure!!! Don’t hold anything in my friend we’re all here for you!!! Have a great day I’m really proud of you and I’m sure so many others are as well!!! 
Well done! I’m glad you’re on here sharing the journey with us. Your posts have helped me on more than one occasion. Thank you. 
Mike, it’s been my experience that social media is not conducive to sobriety. Resentments galore. I have deleted all social media except for this app. Much more peace and serenity in my life. Just a thought my friend. 
I had such brillant feedback, brutal honesty and courage.
Made a few including keyworkers cry, I cried in front of people something I have never done and at the end I smiled because I’m happy that I love myself that extra 15%.
Keep going and be kind 
Checking in on day 96 and smoke free for 5 weeks, got my lovely home group tonight, last few weeks haven’t been feeling it BC I’ve been allowing my shit in my head to talk over me but I go BC I took a commitment so I knew whatever I had to get my ass there have a great afternoon love Em

Happy Birthday 
So proud for you and your journey.

Day 2 (or 1.42 days to be precise)
Days off are a rarity, and today was one. Slept in and lazed in bed before I got up and chugged a pint of water. The headache from the previous day’s hangover was still searing. I had decided yesterday and today that I would not take painkillers for it. I wanted to feel it all the way through to help me remember why I need to stay sober. No easy way out. No quick fix. No numbing.
Dusted off my trail running shoes, and hit the hills for my first day of “couch to 5k” training. It was tough, but it was glorious. It also took care of the headache. Following that, I did a quick meditation to “cool down” before I made a healthy, but very late breakfast.
Cracked open my first book in a long time. Decided to get into the Hallowe’en spirit and start reading Dracula - something I started reading years ago, but never finished.
All in all, today was a strong day. This isn’t my first rodeo; I know it won’t always be this way. In fact, previous experience has shown me it will mostly not be this way for a long while. Nevertheless, I am proud of myself for seizing today.
Danni, that sounds like a beautiful, cathartic event for you. I have no doubt you impacted others even more than you know. That’s the power of sharing of ourselves, and I am so glad you received the gifts that come from that, also. I have to tell you, I have some of your posts bookmarked because they move me so much! I have wanted to respond to them but haven’t found the words. Thank you for sharing with us here on TS. Big love!
So happy for you and your 1 month milestone! It sounds like you’ve noticed quite a difference, and your description sounds familiar to me! Let’s keep at it, it’s worth it because we are worth it. (And thank you for the well wishes. I’m hanging in there!)
@Girlinterrupted Congrats on your milestones and pb for the ED, that’s awesome! 
@Dragonflygirl82 & @Frank68 enjoy your birthdays! 
@Mark2 Congrats on 1 week!
@anon27760155 Hope it goes well for you Just read that it did, well done 
@Peace Congrats on 1 week!
@NateRC Congrats on 500!
@TSan Congrats on 30 days!
45 days for me.
Got my walks in, it’s really getting colder here, but it makes me walk faster so I can be back home under a duvet quicker! I still can’t fit back in my thicker hoodies or the lightweight jacket I’ve got, another month or so I might be able to though, I’ve lost another 6lb this week 
Had a threatening debt letter today with lots of capital letters, it really made my mood dip, but I picked up the ‘motivation and meditation’ thread, and that has helped loads today. I think I’m on January 2019 now, so will keep coming back to it.
I’m excited because I just had a phone call to let me know I’ve got a viewing on my flat tomorrow afternoon, and it’s an investor this time so there would be a possibility of me staying here and renting it back from him! (My dream scenario) 
So after the support group tomorrow morning I will spend a few hours cleaning again.
I’m halfway to 90 days, and that’s where my sights are set, to beat my last stretch. At the forefront though, I’m just taking it a day at a time and being consistent with my healthier habits.
I had a PTSD nightmare last night, it was awful. I pray they stop one day I’m good at grounding myself when I wake from them though, the Calm app helps and a cold drink.
I haven’t missed these dark evenings. Time for some food and then some reading with the SAD lamp on before bed.
Have a great week everyone, see you tomorrow!
