So do I, but theyā€™re all ā€˜creativeā€™ ventures. I need the headspace for that tho which my brain isnā€™t currently allowing me. If I could just throw myself into a practical project iā€™d love that right now. I go on long walks most days right about now and when iā€™m on the walks I donā€™t craveā€¦soon as iā€™m home tho.

Day 45! Feeling really good, in a gorgeous head space, and just enjoying today.

Crossfit is going well, I feel stronger and can lift more! I actually ran a full 2 miles yesterday (dont laugh thats huge for me), and drinking hasnā€™t cross my brain, I have better things to think about. PLUSā€¦PLUS. down 15 pounds since my sober date!

Happy Wednesday!

Checking in at the end of day 45.
Not a lot to report - other than the fact that I am stone cold sober. :boom::muscle:t2:
Had a great day in work today. Taught 4 classes of brilliant kids some great maths. I often do a guided meditation as a starter activity, but today I went for a bit of conscious gratitude. It really went down well and the mood lifted every time. Loved it.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :sleeping::zzz:

Iā€™m here, Iā€™m alive and Iā€™m sober.
Day 171

Havenā€™t been checking in for a while, Iā€™m in the middle of writing an exam.
Talked to my best friend yesterday, you know the American lady who had a massive heart attacks. Sheā€™s feeling well, and it was wonderful to be able to see and talk to her again. Even if it was via Facetime.

We had social services for a home visit today. It all went fine. They asked tweenie what she wanted, and she said she doesnā€™t want to live here, because we especially me ainā€™t fair to her and she hates me. She could maybe imagine coming to visit sometime in the future.

We called social services this Monday without talking to tweenie and without she hearing about it, asking them to move her to either another family or a youth facility home after weā€™ve found several notes she has placed in obvious places for us to find, where she had written that she wanted to kill us all.

We have a new meeting next week, but they are starting to look for somewhere to place her immediately.

Checking in, day 104. After working a lot recently today I had a day off, although I worked a little, but also had rest, listened to music and carved a clay-Dante. Iā€™m not feeling great, but not that bad either. At least Iā€™m sober.

Haha sheā€™s a little heavy for me for a long walk. About 9kg. Although you can get backpacks to put them inā€¦ Would be good strength training!

Although what would usually be a 15 minute walk with her takes about an hour anyway cos everything and everyone is so exciting for her. So not the best exercise for me, but a decent amount of time out of the house.

Hey Iā€™m Tom. Pretty new here. But I had a relapse last night. And Iā€™m hoping to find some people to chat with and maybe help push me through, by sharing storyā€™s of theie own and just some words of encouragement. I have a baby coming in July and I want so badly to be sober for my family and myself.
Iā€™m a substance abuse user.

Donā€™t focus too much on what happened just as much as you can learn from it. It was great that you reached out a few days ago. You can check in here any time you need, sharing and connecting helps a lot to defeat the cravings. Also you can contact me anytime here or in pm, Iā€™m FTM :transgender_flag:

Day 777
Time is just flying by. Never thought that this would be possible. No desire to drink, but lots of cravings for spring, going to a restaurant etc. :grin:
