1 week without any nicotiiiiiiiine and iā€™m so happy I made it. A nice little f you to my vape! It feels great to make it to one week. I almost broke a couple of times, but didnt let the urge win. Im so much better without it!

I think this coming week will be great! And then iā€™m off for a week for spring break (iā€™m a teacher). That will be a huge test! But, iā€™m starting 75 Hard that week so, I should be more focused on that than anything else.

I hope everyone who is struggling with addiction or cravings, whatever it may be, finds peace in knowing they arent alone! That it gets easier and that they are capable of fighting & conquering!

With love,
Sara <3

Well, I guess itā€™s 9 months for me. Itā€™s hard to explain why I donā€™t consider it a milestone. The days/months no longer hold significance. This is who I am now, and sober is my normal. For the first time ever, when I see people drink, my thoughts immediately go to that repulsive place I went when I drank. In every single other sober attempt, I would wish I could be like people who could drink in moderation or ā€œnormalā€. The truth is, itā€™s very normal to not drink. So, Iā€™m grateful to be normal over here :grin:

I donā€™t even know why Iā€™m checking in with you guys because Iā€™m fucking broken. I got a call this morning and was told my 22 year old son Corey died last night from an overdose. He was the last one alive out of our family, I had already lost my wife, my son, grandmother, grandfather and mom. He had been the only reason that I had not taken my life so many times in the past. I donā€™t feel like drinking or using but Iā€™m wondering what the fuck am I doing here.

My roommate is here with me. I am still in shock. Everyone that was good have been taken and I am still here and donā€™t deserve to be here. It doesnā€™t make sense. I donā€™t know why, I was the most horrible person and yet Iā€™m here.

I know I seem like Iā€™m hard to get toā€¦ Likeā€¦ Itā€™s hard for me to grasp advice and use it. Iā€™ve always been like that.

Anyway other then that, Iā€™m happy you guys are here. :slight_smile:

Take care
Iā€™ll keep you guys updated on my sobriety.

Oh btw guys

Iā€™ve been doing great with it
Me and the friends in my head really get along. Lol jk been there, done that, and overcame
So if anyone has any questions about that (schzophrania) I know for a fact I can use my experiences to help anyone understand

Iā€™m very very opened about it :slight_smile:

quick check in for old times sake, would absolutely love to get drunk as Iā€™ve literally had a craving now for over a week. SO WHAT!!!
of course I want to drink and get high itā€™s who I am and what I do, the other thing I do is have a daily plan and support network. I also have the opportunity to help others stay sober bc Iā€™ve earnt that right. I really want to get fucked up but not quite as much as I really want to have a clear head and a life of pride bc of the man I have become. So if anyone else out there is struggling today, tough shit you decided to quit for a reason and that reason has not changed, remember it, believe it, work at it and Do it!!

  1. Having a tough time right now. Out with Ms. Monkey and her eldest daughter. I was invited to tag along by her daughter (25 yrs old). She has done nothing but ridicule her mom for, ā€œnot being there for herā€ā€¦ā€œdoesnt even know if she wants her aroundā€. Mind you, me and Ms. Monkey demoā€™ed this kids bathroom. Fixed it when the guy she got to do it fucked it up. We also rehabbed her kitchen. I have spent many nights after work at her house fixing stuff.

I set here in the car listening to this, basically being accused of taking her mom from her.

Deep breath, bite the tounge, and move on.

And when those 2 are on vacation. Dog setting for her daughterā€¦
