1st of all 50 days is awesome. It’s unfortunate you left fighting but may reenforce the time away needed. You are NOT. a disappointment. You aren’t running it’s a planned trip & I truly hope & pray you have a great time.

God bless you.

214 days. Went for a quick visit with my aunt while we were in the city yesterday. My man commented on trying to keep me in a positive mind space. My aunt noted I am where I’m supposed to be and suggested he may benefit from Alanon. Can’t see him following her advice but it was nice to have my rollercoaster of emotions acknowledged and somewhat normalized. I’m making a conscious effort to focus on the positive but am also identifying the feelings that come along. Today started rough with my stepdaughter bitching about me and her life. I had enough and although didn’t lose it told her to shut up. Not proud of that but I could’ve said a lot worse. Was on my way to the shower to have her sneak in the bathroom and run a tub. Just breathing through it at the moment. We’ll see what next week brings but a road trip to my girlfriend’s is really starting to appeal to me. May even be able to meet up with my other friends that were supposed to come down at New year’s.

I made it through the first 24 hours without craving. This must be because I opened up about it. I surely would have been craving otherwise.

Thank you @Squirt. Definitely needed to hear that. I am the type of person that needs time alone and to have some freedom, and it just hasn’t been possible because of the pandemic. It’s actually been awesome to spend so much time together overall, but I am just at a point I need to not have to think about another person, you know? I know that could sound selfish out of context, but it is true. I need a break to recharge, and to also see my family. I’ll be spending a few days with my sister and we both really need sister time, one-on-one.

With all the insanity and craziness I’ve been through… somehow here I am. Tomorrow will be 2yrs again but somehow feels different… it feels earned. Not going to quantum leap as today is here and tomorrow may never come. Im blessed to have these tools in my back pocket to get me through. Congratulations to everyone’s milestones and I thank you all for contributing to my recovery. You are all champions to me

Checking in day 16 and it’s the second day in a row where I’m crawling out of my skin. I didn’t realize that 2 weeks in would be the timing where I’m struggling the most. I think the newness and novelty of sobriety wore off and now I’m really facing my addiction.
I have to find some time to myself tomorrow, do a yoga session, have a break from my kid and husband…
but I’m here, I’m still sober, I’m still fighting and I’m digging my stubborn heels in and not letting my addiction win!!

Into day 13 and had my first real trigger. At the home improvement store for about 4 hours. We are re doing a bathroom and also need to replace our well pressure tank, so between not liking any options this store had, me convincing my hubby it is OK to call a company who installed the orginal for questions about upsizing, and coming to a semi agreement on pait colors I was ready for a drink!
Which is what I would have done in the past. Today however, I came home ate food since I was starting to get hangry, checked up on everyones posts, and now taking a nap… whew!

day 47… Its Sunday. My favorite day of the week. Nothing super important to report. Feeling good. Woke up at 4.45am. Today my goal is to spend zero dollars. To eat clean. To move my body. To read. To meditate. To go out into nature and connect with our earth and trees happy Sunday my fellow Soberians 
happy Sunday my fellow Soberians
