Good morning TS folks. I reset my timer for the 45th time yesterday morning. So I made it through the first dayā€¦yet again. šŸ¤¦šŸ¤¦šŸ¤¦ Iā€™m not going to beat myself up, thatā€™s what I did yesterday. :sob: Today Iā€™m starting new and moving forward. Iā€™m going to add to my daily routine slowly instead of trying to stay super busy so I do not relapse. Virtual hugs to those of you who are struggling. I am so inspired everytime I come back here. You are all so amazing. Have a Terrific Tuesday everyone!!! :heart::grinning:

Woohooā€¦ Iā€™m ready for spring too

Checking in! Day 199!
I have discovered PILATES! Pretty excited about it. After doing yoga pretty much every day in 2020, I needed some change and this gets me motivated again! My mom has one of those work out mirrors. Its pretty fun. Day 2 complete. :heavy_check_mark:
But dont get me wrong, I still love my yoga!

@Mtrav0040 Thanks! LOLā€¦ I actually started the whole work out thing for my mental health but ended up getting in the best shape Ive been in since forever! Only problem is that its a lot to maintain. But yeah, its good to take a break sometimes.

Glad youā€™re here. If recovery was a "one chance system " it would be a lonely place. And not many people to share what didnā€™t work. I think iys just as important to have that experience to draw, because we have the disease of addiction that tells us every day we donā€™t have it

Day 115 clean from Meth. I still feel like a fake, I know deep down my subconscious wants to use. Am still brute force overriding it with my conscious mind. Determined to get to at least 180 days and hoping by then Iā€™ll be not thinking about it all the time :rofl:

Day 155: I just love 5s! Itā€™s a good omen number for me today. I like seeing other people like me on here who get excited about number combos. Chucho has been visiting me in my dreams recently. Itā€™s both comforting and sadā€¦Iā€™m missing him this morning. Getting rid of the bed he slept on with us is also bittersweet. I had a rare craving last nightā€¦we had the last of a pasta dish I made last week and I was picturing a glass of red wine to go with it. My organic cranberry juice and lime La Croix was refreshing and tart and cut through the richness of the meal. My husband reminded me that I have never been one to drink anything while I eatā€¦a strange quirk of mine. So I wouldnā€™t have been sipping wine while enjoying my meal, anyway. I would have gulped it afterward and gone back for more. Heā€™s good at pointing out these types of things.
Hope you all have a good day sober. Sending out big love! :heartpulse:

Checking in at the end of day 37. Iā€™m not sure that alcohol has crossed my mind today, certainly not the thought of drinking it, anyway.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :sleeping::zzz:

Thanks. Youā€™re so right. Even though I regret every relapse and I donā€™t want to go back to it all over again, I learn something new every time. This time I noticed my appearance really changed over my roughly 2 week on and off relapse. Also my attitude sucks so bad. I notice I blame other people for my problems and normally I donā€™t do that. Have a great day @Harold thanks for the response.

Wowww thatā€™s so amazing! Iā€™ve been obsessed with ancient Egypt since I was little because my grandparents used to show us slides of their photos from a visit to the pyramids. Even did a couple class projects on it in school. What a wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing!
