That’s nicely put my Jd my sons name is Jd I also thank God/my higher power. It’s so important to thank Him and to remember He is their for us to help guide us through our journey. Like you I do not discriminate against any drug my personality is like that. Its important to remember to replace your addiction for something good. You have a empty space to fill that your DOC was filling. Keep yourself busy , pray, walks, get yourself around solid people, attend church, go bowling ect ect. I’m praying for you. I am on your side!

Thank you so much! I will keep you in my prayers as well. Your son has the coolest name ever. I’m really trying to not overshoot the mark…In other words… one day at a time, we strive for progress not perfection.

Day 154
I’ve spend yesterday and today purging my closet for items I don’t use and that doesn’t fit my style or body anymore. It was a bittersweet cleanse. My husband have put it all out for sale. And we did the same with the boys closet and his as well. The boys just got two full bags if clothes from my aunt. Her kids are just a little older than mine. Usually it goes from her daughter to her son, and to my son’s. After our youngest have used them there’s usually not much left, no matter if it was in brand new condition when he got it. I don’t know what he does with his clothes 
But it was a well needed clean out. My husband did shock me a bit by changing style entirely now. There’s not much left in his closet at all, and I suggested that he could do a Pinterest board with clothes and accessories he liked. I had an idea about that’ll make it easier to buy gifts for him, there’s Valentines day, our 10 year wedding anniversary, and he’s 45th birthday coming up this year. So I totally need some ideas on what to give. Unfortunately he kinda throwed away all my ideas with changing his style totally. Good thing is that it fits my style better now, so there might even be a chance that I can match him in Lilly Pulitzer outfits.
It was so nice thinking about something else than all the problems we still got, even if it was just for a few days.
I hope y’all is going to have a nice Sunday

Day 463… all is good.
@tybosan. Tim, man i remember what it’s like to be where you’re at right now. The first 72 hours is tough, detoxing is hard work. Just keep pushing on, it gets better man, it gets so much better. We’re here for you.
@Lisa07. 500 days AF that is an amazing accomplishment. You’re very inspiring to me. All of the shit life has thrown your way and you hold steady, like a rock. Congratulations on hitting the 500 club.

Checking in on day 28 here. Four consecutive completely sober weekends makes me happy. Would usually start drinking at midday on a Sunday and be out of the game by now. Instead I have been able to help my daughter with her schoolwork and enjoy a pleasant evening with my wife. Looking forward to waking up sober tomorrow and having a productive day in work. No worries about the usual surge of anxiety waking me up at 4am and keeping me awake until my 5:30 alarm. It doesn’t seem to happen any more.
February tomorrow, so I need a new focus after dry January disappears. I think I’m covered.
Have a great sober Sunday if that’s where you are, and a great sober Monday, if not.
Goodnight.
