I’m glad you like it! I think accents and languages are such a marvellous thing!

Thank you! ❤

Day 368. I cant stop thinking about last night. It’s definitely bugging me. I know I need to just move on, but it was just a fucked up thing. Something that is easier said then done. Did a decent little jog and working on cleaning the house I geuss. Much love

I had to reset my porn timer again. I am beginning to think it is better to not even try anymore. I am still smoke-free, which is a big deal…  
I know there is hope that one day I will be porn free; and, not have such a sexual dysfunction. Right now, though, I do not know if it is worth fighting anymore. It seems like there is so much shit on my plate… not to mention it helps me stay “normal”.  
It is better to sabotage this than my relationships. It is easy to offer platitudes for something like this…however I have a complex personality disorder. Porn helps me not cheat on my wife with men. But it kills my intimacy with her. Ugh. Not having a good morning. I could choose healthy coping mechanism…or…I could binge eat.

Thanks @eph-M-eral! Now you are on Day 221? Cool! I’m on Day 10 and feeling great heading into the weekend. I appreciate your wise words. I agree that focusing on “what was” will only result in . . . as you said . . . shame! Don’t need any more of that!!

Now I’m even more cranky than I was before. Just received the grade on my last exam. I passed but I didn’t get the highest grade that I’ve always gotten before.

It sucks!

It’s been awhile since my last check in, but I am still SOBER 💕 The longest sobriety journey that I have ever had & none of it would have been possible without you all in the beginning. Somewhere along the way it did get easier, and instead of using a distraction to curb the cravings, I actually began living life without it constantly being on my mind. Still trying to quit cigarettes though. But I can’t win the battle if I stop fighting. I hope everyone has a GREAT SOBER FRIDAY ❤ If your struggling, keep at it, because it truly is a beautiful thing seeing, living, and feeling life with a clear mind, body & spirit.

You passed while your mind was totally elsewhere and you spent your energy on tweenie. And the rest of your family. And all the other stuff you do. I think it’s pretty awesome Sophia. Congrats. Hugs. Love.

Just so many great sober days out there today and I’m not sure I could pick only ten to tag bc you are all equally amazing. If your thinking he don’t mean me, No I really do mean YOU!!!  
Proud of you all. 👍
