checking in day 307.63
Woke up feeling a bit better today. Prayed and did my readings. Had breakfast and lunch. Chatted with mom and some friends. Short meditation. Decided to walk to the treatment center to see my counsellor and visit some friends. Turns out my back is still not ready for a 3km walk and I had to turn around and now Iām on my couch. Broke down crying during the walk partly cause of pain and part frustration. Still working on accepting my physical limitations, annoying. The addict in me is screaming just get some pain meds youāll feel great, the good side of me screaming go fuck yourself this pain will pass. Patience ā¦Namastae!! probably check in again later

3rd check in of the day. Finished work. Still craving. Even while meetings. Going for a swim now. It still there after I already planned to order the best pizza in town and watch a movie with my girl. Iām gonna text her right now that she should not expect too much energy from my side tonight.

Good evening beautiful people on here. Havenāt been on this thread in a while. Itās amazing to see all the numbers rising.
Iām checking in on day 27. Some days are good. Some are bad. But they all are definitely better than days with drinking

Hang in there, mate! Do whatever it takes not to relapse. Read your last topic about your experiences throughout sobriety. Do your list: what else can you do beforehand? Distract yourself as much as you can. Time will pass and it will be better.
I have relapsed and it was sooo bad in many ways. Not worth it at all. It doesnāt give you anything.
I know that you are capable of not picking it up. The rest is your choice. You do have a choice.

Wow, when it rains it pours! But it is not forever. Drinking on top of all that will certainly not help. I wish you well, and a happy holiday too. You got this!

Thanks I needed to remember that this list actually exist 
wow itās hard to believe how fast our brain can forget and go straight back to old habitsā¦ thank you Iāll go read it after the swim. But pretty sure itās going to be movie and pizza for me. Enough for today.
Hope youāre feeling good yourself ?!

@WCan Yeah, sometimes I also tend to forget obvious stuff and solutions. Movie and pizza sounds nice, I hope tomorrow will be a bit easier for you. I read your posts and I see how much you suffer recently. Maybe itās the two-month milestone, idk. But it will pass for sure.
Thanks, Iām quite fine, being a bit more passive here, but I do read.

Hence why we stick big post-it notes around where we can see it everyday.
