Checking in at the end of another sober Saturday. Had a lovely calm evening with the family. Nice food and an interesting movie.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight all. :sleeping::zzz:

Checking in gratefully sober. Day 42 after too many restarts to count. I guess the key is to keep coming back and never give up on yourself. Everyday sober is a blessing. Weekends are always the most difficult for me as this was my main drinking time and my boyfriend still drinks. Nonetheless, I will not be drinking today and I will be hangover free tomorrow. Have a strong sober 24 everyone :purple_heart::v:

Checking in at 180 days…it’s kinda hard to believe, but I made it a whole half a year. And I am damn proud of that! I decided to write about it a bit more in length, so I’ll share the link to the post here if any of you are interested. Much love, TS amigos! Keep on rocking that sobriety! Keep on coming back when it’s hard! Keep on coming back when you have triumphs! :heartpulse: :heartpulse: :heartpulse:

I hope Tweenie can find a place that works. It is so import for you to keep you and your family safe. And you’re doing this sober. God bless you. I don’t weigh in much but I know what your going through. Although yours sounds more hellacious. We took in my niece at 13 a long time ago. It was hell. Her mom was in jail and her dad in rehab for selling heroin to a cop. I felt like we couldn’t do anything right. When they got out they separated and neither wanted her. It was admirable of us to take her in. She made our life a living hell for years. So I got no advice to give. I do pray that some day Tweenie will “run out of hate” like my niece said. We are so close to my niece now I call her my daughter. Again God Bless you for all you’ve tried to do the best for all. You’re doing great. And you’re still sober. You’re a superwoman!! :boom::boom:

I think you are being a good mother to want to bring your kids up in a safe home; that’s the least of the things we want for them. You tried so much, Sophia; please don’t let it bother you that you didn’t do enough, etc. Your little ones are your priority right now. God; I wouldn’t have lasted that long or been so cordial.
I’m glad you’re back; I did miss seeing you around here! :kissing_heart:

Great shares Rosa. I’m so happy for you and your half a year. Thank you and Courtney
@Dragonflygirl82
for sharing all that you’ve shared. You guys are helping me so much on my journey by sharing your stories. Especially the ones about our furry family members. Sometimes I feel like I’m on deck with Minnie. But she is doing great today. And today is the day that matters. I went on a 2 week bender after Max of 16 years died. I cannot do that to my body again. You 2 are helping me out in ways that I’ll never be able to thank you enough. It’s such an honor know you.

Anyway… I got tears coming down now. Rosa congratulations on your half a year. You are a wonderful lady and I’m so glad you’re in my life on TS. You’re so worth it. And I bet you’ve helped a ton of us stay sober one day at a time. Thank you for that :heart:
:pray:t2::heart:

That was a really beautiful thing of you to do. I knew tweenie would be a challenge, I just didn’t think that she was seriously going to plan to kill us. Hopefully she’ll get the help an support she needs. I’m at that point that I would never forgive myself if something happened to the boys because I though I could handle it myself. I can’t, it’s going to take a lot more than a family a place to call home, and some child psychiatrist meetings to help her. A lot more than we can offer. I’m so happy things turned out well for you and your niece. :cherry_blossom:

Thank you, I missed all of you as well. I want it not only for them, but as for myself too. I would never forgive myself if something happened to them because of tweenie. I hoped that wr could give her all that she needed and wanted, but we can’t. I’m not sure anyone can, it absolutely bothers me. But I can’t do it any other way. We all deserved a safe and healthy home.

Day 161 alcohol/35 smoking. It’s been about a week since my last check in. This was a dumb, weird week, but really not worth rehashing. I’m still sober, I’m still not smoking, and I’m still building a healthier life for myself every day. I missed y’all and am committed to checking in more regularly. Happy sober Saturday!

@SoberWalker congrats on 900 days :tada:
@MrsOdh welcome back, so good to see you checking in :blush: The important thing to remember is that you opened your home and really tried with Tweenie, when no one else wanted to, I think that speaks volumes, and despite it all, you’re still sober! :star2:
@Peace congrats on 6 weeks :tada:
@RosaCanDo congrats on 6 months of well-earned recovery! :tada: Moving posts, I hadn’t seen your 90 day one before but it gave me goosebumps when you quote what Anne said. Thank you for sharing.:blush:

208 days no alcohol.
176 days no cocaine.
3 days no binge-eating.

I have only had 30mins sleep since Monday night, it must be an unusual side effect of the Covid vaccine I had because I can’t find anything online about the Astrazeneca one that says anything about Insomnia, so I’ve reported it to the Yellow card system. My migraine has finally drifted away so that’s a blessing. Arm still a little sore but nothing major. The heaviness has lifted from my body, but I haven’t walked for the past 2 days because I’ve got zero energy from being awake for so long. I’ve still got the chills. Vaccine update over.

So I found out today that I have been exposed to someone who has Covid, I also learned that someone can be contagious up to 2 weeks before showing any symptoms. So naturally my anxiety is excited about that, knowing I’m high risk. Fingers crossed though! :crossed_fingers:t2:

I have spent today watching funny videos online and it has been nice, I don’t often spend time on social media but I’ve found some really wholesome stuff today and it’s lifted my mood from yesterday.

I feel in a really strong mindset about being 3 days into no binge-eating, still recognising the addict voice and responding to it with my true voice, and if I haven’t learned by now that I can’t indulge in any junk food, I fear I never will. I’ve resolved not to weigh myself until the 1st April, hoping for 1 stone off by then, seeing a bigger loss each time I weigh should give me that extra boost of motivation to get through each month, or atleast that’s what I’m hoping :crossed_fingers:t2:

Well done! What better way to send off the debauchery shed than by maintaining your sobriety and getting through a craving.
