First week sober, A huge thank you to everyone posting here

D. 7 tobacco
D. 991, alcohol. I dont remember waking up and instantly craving a drink. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was wanting some nicotine. Not going to give in. Little meditation, some prayer…then get ready for work

Panic mode setting in!
I have a social distance conference where I’m a guest speaker I used to do well at speaking because I was on some form of drug… This is going to be my first time speaking drug free my fucking nerves and my stomach are all over the place!

Can I go fucking hide under the quilt anybody got any tips?!!
I seriously think I’m gonna crap myself in front of people. This was booked last year.
I have this belief that I’m better on the drugs then off them, its always been my secure blanket for things I just can’t do!

Do you think if I cancel now I’ll get away with it… Anybody got a fever or a sickness bug (not corna) they can spread!!!

🤦 I’m done.

You can do it! You THINK you did it better on drugs, actually sober you can prepare, etc, and actually learn skills from the experience. Don’t give in before you even try!

[Piglet]

You can do it girl! If you can do it on drugs you can do it clean. I never presented pissed or stoned - it’s too much like hard work. And you will feel great afterwards. Just remember to breath and pace yourself. Go knock their socks off!

Day 309. So after work, I went and did some more Christmas shopping after work for my beautiful girls. This is gonna be the first Christmas I didn’t scramble for gifts, I’m actually trying. I’m not being selfish, I didn’t look at a damn thing for myself it’s all about my girls. It feels good… I stayed up for like 30 hours lol. @Rockstar24777 hope your having a good day man… @anon27760155 you got this girl, I get that feeling of worry but you’ll do great… I see alot of newcomers on here so welcome to all of you hope everyone has a good day.

Danni, stop worrying. I know it’s easier said than done but treat this like sobriety. Break it down to being in each minute and do what you need to do to get you to the next moment.
You are not in that moment yet are you? Don’t waste your energy on it now!
It’s a technique I’ve used to get me through some times when anxiety would have crippled me.
We tend to waste too much energy worrying about things and when we actually get there we don’t have to energy to actually be our best.
If you have done this before, doesn’t matter if you were drugging or not, you have done it before.
Clear your mind and just concentrate on the here and now!
And you have got this girl. I know you have. You’re strong.

You got this! I am attending a social distance conference today, too. Attended yesterday and a few folks struggled a bit. Everyone understands. Last spring I was offering a virtual training session and my Roomba started midway through. It was a hit!! I think your presentation will be far better drug-free. Let us know how it goes.

I am on Day 24 and feeling strong!
