Yes I would like something symbolic, and that’s the thing is in this year idk what has been symbolic to me, or what has been my biggest strength, I want it to be something that screams me but isn’t this big huge hey look I’m sober tatoo. But something that says hey, I’m here I’m still alive after 3 suicide attempts
Congratulations on 100!
Day 206 clean and sober today. Hey everyone I hope you have all been doing good! I’ve been on a sick one up in my head lol but I’m coming out of it now. Love you guys!!!
@TSan Congratulations! It is ok for sobriety to still feel effortful, u didn’t make the habit in 100 days, it will take more than 100 days to weaken. But 100 days is still a fine achievement!
- 84 months
Getting closer to my pb of 5 months, of course, even if I get there, still gotta be sober after. Nearly at the end of the semester, some easy classes of revision, but then the mad dash of marking to get grades in.
Checking in. Day 1. Relapsed for 4 months after 34 days of sobriety. Know I need to seriously change my life. Last day of drinking was awful, man I feel so hopeful today, despite lockdown blues and problems. Today I was present with my children in the evening, and went for an after dinner walk with my family. Baby steps in the right direction.
Day 95 winding down to an end. Back in the office today; and first day back for the little guy. We’re on a lockdown here; schools are closed (public & private) but his school counts as licensed childcare, so they are open. I had some comments from coworkers saying “must be nice” etc so that made me feel a bit guilty, but I guess that is my deal. I enjoyed being home in my PJ’s the past week or so, but he really thrives on routine and it is good for him to be back and socializing. I am grateful to have had the extra time with him; lots of outdoor play and snowshoeing, bread making, movies & snuggles…and science experiments, microscope exploring, growing crystals, building robots. He had a lot of fun. And so did his geeky mum
Minimal sleep last night, so wish me luck tonight. Another busy day in the office tomorrow.
Woo hoo! Congratulations on triple digits @TSan!! I’m so proud of you! I can’t express enough how much I enjoy reading your posts and how much they help me. Thank you for sharing your experience, strength and hope.
So happy to hear this.
What a relief! Hugs!
TopoChico I love it best ever
Also great on the 44 days the TopoChico side tracked me sorry
Day 79 no meth.
Bit of a stressful day for no particular reason. Phoned a friend, chatted for an hour and that made me feel better. I think reaching out to friends I don’t speak to often is going to be essential for the coming months.
On the plus side, my friend reminded me it’s been 2 years since I last vaped (he gave up smoking on same day). It’s good because it rarely even crosses my mind these days. Hope you all keeping well.
@TSan triple digits way to go. It’s already been said but I agree your posts are great keep them coming.
Day 353 pretty much done. A productive day capped off with a nice AA meeting. I mentioned a few day back that a string of good days would be nice. I was right it is nice. I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts and do all I can to keep the positivity flowing.
Part of that is to not allow situations that arise to be catastrophized.
God bless you all. &
P.s. you are capable of greatness. ya you !!
Congratulations on hitting the triple D’s. It’ll become more natural, a little at a time. Well done!
No…I had no idea cause I don’t really watch tv or the news lol. Thanks for sharing that with me cause who knows when I would have seen it. The video was shot from the island of Oahu
Came home to a giant branch from my neighbors tree smashed through my fence. Cut it all up, did laundry and meal prepped for the rest of the week. Wouldn’t of gotten it all done if I was still drinking. Felt great but I’m wiped. Going to bed and waking up to 37 days tomorrow! Hope everyone has a great sober week!!
@anon60334405 I have felt the same way about posting on here, but I can say I always look forward to reading your posts and have gotten a lot of inspiration from them.
Great job on your 79 days clean. Keep up the great work. You’re worth it.
38 Day check in! I am feeling pretty good as we settle into the new year. I have some very steady practices I’ve been doing for a long time — meditation, yoga, and exercise — and I am particularly noticing their benefits right now. Trying to maintain inspiration and commitment as I come against a new financial situation and trusting that I can put in the work to make my business grow even as my regular income has taken a hit. Working on communication with my boyfriend. Today was a good day and I’m optimistic about this week and what it will bring.
Keep your eyes on the night sky
