194 days no alcohol.
162 days no cocaine.

Didnā€™t want to miss a second day in a row so Iā€™m here having a much later night than usual.

Iā€™m feeling the depression ease ever so slightly, Iā€™ve managed to keep getting myself out for a late afternoon walk every day, and I think thatā€™s definitely helping a little, I do hope it starts getting easier to motivate myself for it though, and Iā€™d like to get back out there in the mornings as well.

Some of you may recall that after 7 months 11days I smoked cigarettes for a period of 8 days, but then managed to switch to vaping as I had some liquids leftover from before I quit, well for the past 2 months and 8 days I have been tapering down from 18mg to 0mg, and today Iā€™m 19 days off nicotine. Iā€™ve been vaping 0mg during that time but I will run out of liquid tomorrow and Iā€™m hoping itā€™s not too hard to just stop. I should just be a habit now rather than a physical craving so Iā€™m hopeful.

I still havenā€™t managed to regain control and get back on my diet, but I did make it to lunchtime before I binged today, which I am trying to see as a slight improvement on the last week where Iā€™ve been bingeing as soon as the delivery service opens. Maybe tomorrow I will actually succeed, but Iā€™m working on not beating myself up.

Day 84 here. Another busy week at work. Shouldnā€™t complain though, the money is good. This is the first weekend off in over a month. Spent last night and this morning wrapping my new bike with a frame protectant from a company called Invisiframe from UK, should of asked if anyone on here had any experience with it. As I was doing it I thought about how thereā€™s no way in hell I would of gotten it done if I was drinking. It took me 5 hrs to do bw 2 days. Spent about 3 hrs trying to catch up on here today. So happy to see so many milestones!

@anon27700620 if you posted videos or more pics from your trip can you please send me the link? Egypt is def on my bucket list, Iā€™d love to see any you would like to share

Today marks my first week. Was feeling a little anxious but ended up playing with my son and wife and made some dinner which really helped. Looking forward to focusing on another day tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well.

Day 236.
Lots oā€™ life on this thread today. I was thinking about that post from @Dazercat with the reading - the one about keeping a reservation - an ā€œoutā€ to allow for future use (i.e. if ā€œthisā€ happens, I get to drink, use, etc). And then I get on here and read and itā€™s pretty inspiring how these reservations have been parked and the engines turned right off. One example comes to mind: well done, @Complicatedmama, for changing things up this year to honour your sisterā€™s death anniversary. :candle: Thank you for sharing that.

Itā€™s been a good day, a long day, and itā€™s time to turn in soon.
We did another one. Another day. One by one. Just like we will tomorrow.
Gā€™night all. :orange_heart:

Great job wrapping up your first week Andy. :star: That is so wonderful.
And I just love when that little dog avatar of yours shows up on the threads.
Keep coming back. You worth it. And so is that wife and son of yours. And your little dog too :crazy_face:

Early check-in on day 840. I slept well, better than expected.
In 7.5 hours my old apartment will be gone. No, letā€™s say in 8 hrs. And I am still not nervous. Good me. :yum:

Thanks everyone for sharing their thoughts and stories. It helps tremendously on learning about me :pray::sunflower:

520 Days. Iā€™m still feeling exhausted from a long week. Didnā€™t sleep well last night because the dog woke me up twice to go out. I canā€™t be bothered to walk him when Iā€™m half asleep so I let him out on his own. Itā€™s 2am and I didnā€™t notice the deer in the yard, well he took off chasing them through the snow. I wasnā€™t about to go after him. Sure enough he couldnā€™t handle the cold snow on his paws and came home pretty quick. Hopefully heā€™ll sleep like a baby tonight. Goodnight my TS family. :yawning_face: :heart:

Congrats on not giving in and have fun watching. I saw who won the womenā€™s final. I am not into it anymore. I have been a Pete Sampras fan and lost interest after he finished his career. I was wondering yesterday, uhhh I remember when wearing a slightly coloured T-shirt was discussed 20 years ago :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
