Day 10. I feel like crap. I finally got out of bed at 6am, after a couple hours of sleep. I am not taking my own sleep-help advice very well.
Life overall is good. I went scrolling through some of my posts, spanning 3 years, yesterday. The ones before that are missing because I had a manic episode and asked to be deleted. Thereās something sobriety-affirming about looking at your modus operandi in that way. Daily check-ins, daily gaps, disappear - rinse and repeat. Like, really?
Your honor, if it please the court: Enough is enough! Guilty of the 45-day escape plan! Sentenced to a lifetime of sobriety, with no time off for ANY behavior, holiday or mood swing.

I gave up cigs and drugs at the same time and it was hard. But, I felt so much better. I used the gum and couldnāt stand that so switched to the patches and that helped. I also had some grounding marbles in my pocket so anytime I wanted to smoke I would hold them and just play with them until the urge went away. Chewing regular gum and mints helped too. Good luck you can do this!!

Day 4ā¦ Second check in.
Today was a success. I moved my body. A ate healthy and didnāt over eat. I laughed. I cried whilst meditating out at the lake. Cried for no reason. Just the universe doing its thing. Watched a beautiful sunset. Talked to a few strangers with there dogs. Got a lovely cup of coffee at 4pm which Iāve never done. I enjoyed the day with the energy my body could gather up. I just realized , in 7 days time on the 20th of April, I turn 41ā¦it made me think back to this time on here last year. I got clean on my 40th birthday. Iāve literally repeated the same cycle again apart from a week. I remember how I felt last year. And thinking about how I feel now, I feel Iāve learnt a lot about my self this last year. Iāve spent a lot of time with myself clean this past year. And what I do know is that as much as it icks me that Iām over the 40 yr mark, Iām glad to be turning 41 in a weeks time because that means I am still alive. And that my friends is a good thing
