Day
Happy Sunday
#117, coming up on 4 months! An uneventful day most likely ahead. Good to stay on track
@MagicMama Absolutely love your views. I want to come for coffee and just sit & gaze.
@CATMANCAM YAY!!! Yours news made my morning. I’m sooooo happy for you getting a place for you and the cats. Both my fingers & toes are crossed on the job.
@Rockstar24777 The tat is absolutely beautiful. LOVE the placement and the pose for the pic. Hope this also serves to remind you of your strength while experiencing the heartbreak.
@Lisa07 WHOOP WHOOP. . .look at you go girl. 1.5 years of one day at a time. I’m so proud of you and blessed to have you by my side on this journey.
@cwak Congratulations on your 4 months. Keep fighting the good fight. It might not be easy, but it’s so worth it.
@zzz Awesome job on the marathon. Must have been so exhilarating.
278 days. Had a day of rest yesterday as my body was extremely tired. Had a good time swimming with the girls last night and will definitely be planning that again soon. Am struggling with some feelings this morning and not sure what to do with them so will leave them here for now. Am still expressing my feelings about not feeling like this is my home and tensions due to roommates. It was brought up how I too initially came into this household as he extended a helping hand and was meant to assist me getting back on my feet. The pressure I applied to pursue our relationship etc. was also discussed. I went to bed feeling rejected, unwanted and unwelcome. Although not all of these feelings have legit reasoning I’m feeling them strongly. Am lucky if I’ve slept 3 hours and have been thinking non-stop. Voiced this morning that I’m aware of my tendency to push for things I want as I’m so used to doing everything for everyone else and getting fuck all for myself. I’m so tired of feeling like this and again am battling between my mind and my heart and feeling like both are broken.
It was very nice waking up to all these nice messages today. Thank you @CapriciousCapricorn, @Joy, @geo, @Maria, @Olivia, and @Dolse71.
You’ve got that right Eric she would never go. Addiction runs strongin our family both of my parents are now 30+ years sober. But, she would never go to Al-non but is very supportive of my recovery. She just has some things she needs to work on as far as my brother goes. I just pray she sees it before it’s too late. We did have a conversation about of my brother was to ever overdose. We both took a narcan training and I told her that she needs to bring it home just in case and that I put mine in my car so if God forbid anything would happen we would be prepared. She was hesitant but at least she understood what I was saying and how serious he is.
I love the tattoo, man!! Looks super badass!
It looks so good!! I am so glad you are still with us. You legitimately should write a book man. Even just about the things you’ve been through in the last year, let alone the other things from your past you have mentioned that you’ve overcome.
I don’t know anyone who could go through what you have, let alone do it and maintain your sobriety. You have a story to tell bro!!
Personal milestone hit today! Checking in on day 42. Feeling nice and strong. This is definitely the longest stretch of days I’ve been sober in almost 15 years. Looking forward to 90 - one day at a time.
Today marks 7 days for me. As I read through some of the threads I see a lot of people with amazing days being sober. Those days seems so far away to reach. Felt good to wake up not hungover compared to a week ago or even two weeks ago where I was having blackout drunks. But here is to 7 days
Man that’s awesome @Nordique I really appreciate it and as a matter of fact I really have been considering writing a book. Thank you for always being caring and supportive. And thank you @CapriciousCapricorn, @Squirt and @OfTheNorth I appreciate that so much!
Aww thanks Rob. It really means a lot to me that you’re taking time out of your day to acknowledge my milestone with everything you’ve got going on. You are a true Rockstar!!! Much love to you friend.
Congrat Lisa
42 days!! That is rockstar! How proud of yourself were you this am to wake up sober and hitting this goal?
Bookmark today to go back to, its a memory that can keep you going until the next day.
I think 7 days was my hardest and most rewarding. I never want to go through those 7 days again and yet will always remember that I did. Congrats!!
Of course Lisa! Much love back to you too!

Feeling peaceful on this Sunday. Can’t bring myself to go for another walk though, feet hurt a lot from yesterday. Maybe tomorrow. The dealers haven’t been here since I phoned the police so to me that’s a sign that I did the right thing. Either that or they’ve finally satisfied their own curiosities that I’m not picking up from other dealers. I just can’t wait to move so all these negative memories and associations can be left behind. I’m hoping I’ll be able to spend time in my lounge in the new place, as that’s something I still can’t do as that’s where I did all my using. I’m ready to move on. Praying it all goes to plan now
Thank you Tyler!!
Hopefully, the dealers won’t return. It won’t be long now and you can put that life behind you. I’m happy you found a new place. It sounds like it will be your little safe haven.
