Day 60
Been a very tempting week with alot of background issues going on. The battle in my mind has been fairly relentless but I have avoided The Crash.

Wow I’ve been so extremly busy struggling to log in to keep up with what’s new and what’s not😉 check in on day 120 clean and 7 weeks smoke free, been off balance lately been acting out with the opposite sex and I bought some beer the other night luckily I had another friend from na with me and he talked me outta it, I was seeking some debortiary but it’s all a load of bollox my addict has been trying to get me alone and tell me I’m a whore and worth no more that being fucked and thrown away, I’m seeing a man who’s treating me like a Prince cess and doesn’t want me just for his own means and my addict wants me to fuck it up before I’ve even given it a chance, I’m extremly lucky to have my home group to share all this with and my sponsor, so it’s been abit of a weird one but by getting through it clean and sober makes me feel that again I’ve turnt another corner onto a new prepective and more confidence in myself. I tell my addict I am worthy of care and love and to fuck right off. Love lots Em. Xx

Absolutely amazing

It’s one of the big ones yes. One of the biggest ones we have to work on now we’re sober. It’s certainly not defeat. It’s the beginning of something better, of living a better life. It’s work to do that’s worth doing. One day of sobriety at a time. Big hugs

Thanks man.

Day 291. So last night I chaired the meeting, and got to tell my story I told it the best I can and each time I tell my story it always ends up being a little different as I remember different parts. Sometimes I think I tell to much when I tell ppl I tried to kill myself 3 times. But that’s my story I’m not gonna leave it out. Alcohol and cocaine made me want to kill my self not once but three times actual attempts and my higher power pulled me through it every time. If that isn’t proof that there is something great than us out there idk what is.

I was a goof yesterday and went and lifted with that guy. Bc I like lifting, but he just sucks as a partner, I noticed as soon as I got home I was irritable. Not sure what it is I don’t like about him bc I do see good. But today I didn’t even answer his txt bc he wanted to lift again. I need to figure out how to tell him I’m sorry I’m just don’t lifting with you.

What at a difference a week makes. Last Friday I woke up feeling like sh*t after having called off from work 2 days in a row. I went to work and my mind was a mess. Couldn’t think. Couldn’t sit still. And how many times do I need to have these quarterly relapses before I figure it out?? But that was last Friday. This is today…a new Friday…a new day…

Thank you so much @Mno. My work helps, but than in the late afternoon I will come home. I have to think of a plan for this evening to distract myself.

Checking in, day 15. I try to work more on sobriety and on my inner self. My sobriety isn’t in danger, I don’t even have cravings, but I have to actively and deliberately work on it to avoid the upcoming low points. Last time I did everything out of momentum and it didn’t work (what a surprise). I was so overwhelmed by problems, that I didn’t have attention and energy to focus on the deeper stuff. Now everything is a lot less chaotic and much more calm, like after storm.

But still, I get pissed off by politics. I don’t really care about anything happening in my native country, but sometimes it does reach me and bothers me. Hatred and discrimination are contained in law, the inequality is getting bigger and bigger. I live abroad, so it doesn’t effect me directly in my everyday life, but I have citizenship and in some way it still effects and it sucks. I guess it never will be over.

Congratulations on 4 months @Lilemm! Great job not drinking that beer. Tell that addict voice to fuck off, you’re not a whore. You’re a beautiful person and worthy of a happy sober life. I love you girl and want the best for you. It makes me happy and excited to hear you have someone new in your life, treating you like the princess you are. :heart: :hugs:
