I’ve been feeling like this all week and my brain just wants some time out of sobriety but I’ve heard it all before and TBH I can’t remember once when it ever made a difference or made me feel better for long…
Sometimes it ain’t gonna be pretty and I’ve come to realize that it’s great when the world is dancing to my tune but when the music ends and things start to go wrong that’s when I find out what I’m made of. Today I don’t have much love for others or myself but as long as I don’t drink or get high that love will return.

Thanks Fleur. Since my back was spasming I’m just lying here in bed with ice alternating with heat. I can’t even try to do anything.
It’s funny I heard my wife go for her wine glass in the kitchen. I know that distinct sound or clink of a wine glass on the granite countertop. Oh it would be nice to have some for pain relief. But I don’t do that anymore. No desire. But those crazy thoughts entered my mind. I’ll just stick with Advil and ice and bed.
It’s always a great day to be sober.

Day 2! Happy Monday, it’s a great day to be alive! 
Woke up with the craving, but instead I chugged cold water and made my breakfast with some coffee… journaled then got ready for work. Driving to work was hard and I wanted to smoke so bad, but these toothpicks have been helping me a lot.
I hope everyone has a good day. I pray tonight is easier than last. Being home from work, the cravings are starting to crawl back out. For some frustrating reason I feel like I am gonna break at some point. Really hope I dont.
I am strong! I am resilient! I can do anything I put my mind to. And so are you

Thank you @MagicMama, @Misokatsu, @CATMANCAM and everyone else for the support. I just wanted to do a quick second check in to let you all know I was able to talk to my psychiatrist today and she adjusted my meds and I also have an intake appointment for a new therapist this Wednesday. I appreciate all of you so much for the fact that I’m know I’m always safe to share what’s going on with me with you all and have never not even once been judged or treated as less than. I am truly grateful and have much love and respect for you all. Thank you again for loving me through the tough times, have a wonderful night!!!
