Good luck on your new job Harold. You got this!
Day 263 clean and sober today. Thank you for all of your kind words and support, there are so many I just have to say thank you here in a blanket post to cover everyone. Yesterday was the toughest day that I can remember ever happening, going from planning how I was going to get a motel room, get a bottle of vodka to give me courage to find some fentanyl and take my life. I must have done at least three rough draft goodbye letters. Later that changed into Iām not going to let addiction win and if I did kill myself it would. I came to a place where I prayed so hard for God to help me and He did. Iām not through this by any means but was able to come to a point of peace knowing my son will never have to battle with addiction ever again. Iāve watched him since he was 13 years old and it had tormented him his entire life with very short periods of sobriety. He carried so much sadness in his heart from his mom and brother dying let alone the trauma of my uncle stabbing him after he killed my grandfather and I thanked God this morning for His grace and mercy. From what I found out yesterday, whatever he did was either cut with fentanyl or was all fentanyl because he was found sitting Indian style slumped all the way forward which indicates that he died instantly after he did it which also gives me some peace that he didnāt suffer, it was very fast. Thank you again everyone for all of your support, prayers and love. I canāt believe that a.) Iām still sober and b.) Iām still alive. Two things that I thought for sure would happen if I ever lost my son. To the best of my ability Iām going to continue to stay strong and sober like my son wouldāve wanted me to be. I love you guys very much have a good day today.

Thanks girl, my d.o.c were the same as you. To be honest I still have bad days. Last night I caught myself saying I betcha there doing coke to a group of friends I saw. So I mean itās something will think and battle for the rest of are lifes. But Iām gonna be completely honest and say it was hard for me up to my 10 months mark or so, up to six months was alot of battling urges and mind games. Just keep busy, trust the processs understand you are building a new better version of you, the old you is gonna be mad and sad and cause pain. But the new you is gonna be strong, happy and beautiful

Hey Mikeā¦thank you for your adviceā¦10 months seems so far away yet Iām going to just take one day at a time. Your right about it being a mid gameā¦I like what another member said I think @ELY83 (sorry if Iām wrong. That coke does nothing for you but make you want more and broke. Insanity. Good day. See you around!

Checking in sober at the end of another day. Iām going to ease off on the day count. Iām not sure that it helps me. Felt a bit low today, and thinking it could be that itās the start of a new month. Will keep an eye on that.
Anyway, had a quiet day today where forever seemed altogether too long. I need to keep forever out of the picture for a bit.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

@Rockstar24777 I have no words my friend. I am just now catching up on all your posts. You are our family here and you are so strong. My heart goes out to you and just know that we are all always here for you.
I cannot possibly begin to imagine what you are going through but I know we joined TS and started our sobriety journey on almost the exact same day. Iāve loved having you along the whole way with me and Iām so glad you are still here with us. Stay strong man, you will get through this

- Heading into the office. Weāre back 3days a week for this month. I had nice chat with my cousin last night and she started our conversation with āFaithā and proceeds to tell me to keep having Faith and how proud she is of me for staying sober. To all my TS friends have faith on those difficult days and know youāre not alone. Have a good day all!

Day 260 here for me. Iām working on cutting back on caffeine as Iāve noticed that I have been resorting to coffee and energy drinks when Iām bored which I donāt like because it reminds me of my old drinking habits.
Everything is going well and I hope everyone has an awesome week
