Checking in sober at the end of day 67. :boom::muscle:t2:
Had a parent teacher conference this evening, which is always a bit stressful. Today’s was made worse by the fact that us teachers now have the responsibility of assigning GCSE results to students. :grimacing:
Anyway, as I was driving home on a glorious evening, it occurred to me that ordinarily on a day like today, I would have definitely been drinking before I had even put my car keys down. It wasn’t just that I didn’t think about it, there was nothing. No urge. No craving. Not even a distant longing. Absolutely nothing.
I’m going to take that as a positive.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :sleeping::zzz:

Day 185: (Back to looking at my day count :woman_shrugging:t2:) Butterflies about getting my first vaccine today! I will be driving to a health center in a small town nearby, and I was thinking about how not that long ago I was holed up in my house, bordering on agoraphobic and pretty much paralyzed by anxiety. The only trip out I took was to pick up curbside grocery orders, and since they bring the booze right to your car, it was incredibly easy to maintain my isolated, miserable alcohol-fueled lifestyle. Man, that sucked. Yesterday when I was cursing the new neighborhood liquor store I was working through some thoughts glamorizing drinking, imagining warm summer days and strolling over there for a bottle or a six-pack for the Friday night bonfire or BBQ. Then I thought about how things went last summer…not good. It is going to be important for me to play that tape forward when I potentially have urges as the weather improves this year and keep working my recovery program. Sending loving sober energy your way today, amigos! :heartpulse:

Checking in on day 6 …feeling fine …showing my fears of not being able to stop suddenly were unfounded despite the huge amounts of alcohol and cocaine I was consuming on a daily basis for the last few months.
I’m feel that my previous 6 months of clean time are really helping me which shows that a relapse doesn’t mean you are back to day one really not that I would ever encourage anyone to give it a try.
I feel grateful to have made it back and determined to learn from my mistake although I have to admit I am constantly thinking about picking up !

I just have to remember it feels awful :heart::heart:

Thanks for listening

Day 273 clean and sober today. Burnt out and tired. The doctor is going to insert a tube to drain the fluid around my lung which will give me relief from the pain when I breathe. They were hoping the collapsed part of my lung would pop out on its own naturally but it hasn’t so they’re going to do this. I hope everyone has a great day today, love you guys :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Hang in there buddy. In case there is any doubt in your mind. We do appreciate your updates. I was also hoping your lung would pop out on its own too. No easy roads for you eh?
Again. Hang in there buddy.

Yep that’s the thing dude it’s like working out if you stop participating in it you say tomorrow and than again tomorrow next thing you know your like damb gotta get to the gym. Than you do and your yawning and resting on the machine and looking at girls and drinking water but not doing anything else. Hey you know oh gets us back on motivation? To go help a newbie they are full of excitement and than you feed off them and you share your experiences with them. That’s what it’s all about bro a HAND UP! YOU THE MAN YOU GOT THIS!

Great job on your six days. I’m glad you got six months of clean time experience in you.

Keep in mind.
The reality is. When we drink or use or say ‘fuck it’ around any destructive behaviour, We don’t know when we’ll get our life back or what state it will be in when we do.
Just for today we don’t pick up.

Thanks Maggie!
Such thoughtful kind words that I needed to hear. It is therapeutic to let go of giving a shit what others think. I mean one of those girls I was talking about is always preaching about Jesus, she probably thinks I am the spawn of the devil :rofl:… and thats okay. I am gonna find “my people” I actually have been becoming really good friends with this one mom who stayed and helped clean up after the party. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!! Thanks for making me feel better.

Checking in on day 0.50. Coming back here after a while. I never forgot this app. I always had it on my phone I just didn’t use it for quite a while. I’m returning to continue my journey. I am a bit scared to come back here but I know this app can really keep me sober. It has helped me in the past and I am confident it will help me again. Yesterday my mom’s best friend died after a long fight against cancer. I am still very sad but it shows me how short life is and I want to make the best out of it. I don’t want to hold onto my addiction which is alcohol. Firstly for myself. My kids. My husband. It’s good to be back :heart:
