Thanks Paul, this is one addiction I still battle to understand why I took up. Actually growing up in the 80s smoking looked cool , the adverts had the rugged Marlboro hunks and the gorgeous Virginia slims ladies there was no getting away for some of us who sought attention. If I knew then what I know now
Just glad I’m through with the stupid, stinky unhealthy habit.
Blessings and sobriety my dearest!
Thanks mate, you’re also doing great.
Blessings and sobriety!
Day 127
Completed step 3, as a serious agnostic it took a lot of willingness and compromise. Taking the step now, while I am at a crucial point where I have fallen before, means something I think.
Also jogged 28 mins in freezing temperatures today👍. My weight is oh-so-slowly inching down, while keeping disordered eating at bay.
Congratulations on 800 days sober and everything in your sentence screams sobriety, that’s how we do it and there for the grace of God go I
Nice work Hanna!
Congratulations on 800 days! Very happy for you!! Stay strong my friend!!!
152.08 Days
Day 368. I have been kinda grumpy the past few days. Thinking about drinking to cheer myself up. I know that isn’t the best solution. But I notice those thoughts. Need to work on them. The darkness of winter definitely affects my mood.
Checking in on day 22. Feeling tired and a little under the weather today. I’ve been sneezing a lot and my throat is a bit dry and itchy. My husband just irritated the shit out of me, thank God he goes to work soon. Normally we get along pretty well but he said something this morning that hit me wrong. I’m just going to move on with my day. I’m only 8 days away from 30 days!!! I don’t know if I’ve ever made it this long since being on here. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.
Good morning from SC, USA! Day 33. Today is my last work day until January 4. I plan on making the most of my days off. That includes not drinking. My live-in significant other is having an eviction situation with his daughter. I want to be supportive and helpful…so I will be. Can’t do that while drinking. Happy Wednesday all.
Looks like you ARE getting it right!
Thanks. Yes I have two councilors as well. They have never hinted that anything is wrong with me, but they did set me up with there in house doctor to see about maybe getting some medicine which my appointment with her is this Friday. After I asked for the appointment I instantly regretted. Bc I’ve already tried several medicine, paxil, welbutrin, venflaxazine, paxil, Zoloft, prozac and I don’t want to go through with any of it. I don’t want to be dependent on any medicine or mood stabilizer, idc how tough a time I’m having I’m saying no to the medicine. Sure it might help, but you know what else will help experienceing the shit and getting through it. Today I feel much better and just see it as being part of the process, if medicine works for others that’s great. But my mind is seeing it as the easy way out which nah fuck that I chose this path so I get to walk it and that includes going through all the pain that comes with it. Thank you for your feedback tho I really do appreciate it
Thank you guys @siand, @Joy, @AyBee, @Conor689908, @Dolse71, @Hidden ! Much appreciated, have a great day y’all
Winter definetly does effect our moods dosnt it …
Day 317. Feeling better today, had a good meeting last night did my prayers, and while I have my amends list ready me and my sponsor will go over them next Sunday about how to do them. Last night’s meeting we talked about how insidious are addiction is, and I couldn’t agree more, that’s what my addiction is doing it tries to wait for those depressed days so it can sneak up and try to get me. Luckily I haven’t had a thought of using in idk how long and can actually joke about it now, having the tools and steps of the program help me fight that insidious away. It was funny talking with my aunt last night, she goes you know I never wanted to tell you this, but when I use to see you out in public or when I would pass you in the halls at work, you looked like shit. She said but now, your glowing and you talk and sound like a completely different person. My beautiful girls come home today. Much love
Day 6 sober. I have been very down lately. I am starting to feel better today.
Thankyou for posting… she’s a soothing speaker
