Congrats on 5 months!! Now you know never to go back to that place, even when you’ve racked up enough sober days that the horrible days of active addiction are harder to remember.
I’ve caught myself thinking those thoughts more than once before I had to actively make a list of all the terrible repercussions of drinking.
Keep up all the hard work!!

Congrats @Conor689908 and sorry to hear about Karen. I wish you guys a peaceful transition while you’re working out living arrangements.
@Charlie_C Rockstar! It’s been so great to watch you on this go-around. I am all-in on it being your last.
Day 12. I really need to get to that journal entry today. There is so much swirling around in this clean brain of mine. I am going to start facilitating and volunteer coordinating for my online Recovery Dharma group. I need to be actively engaged, REQUIRED to be present.
I have been weighing the guilt of slacking at school, instead being on here/there/everywhere about sobriety. I guess the OK thing is, I can digest a multitude more with this crisp, clean brain. Even without sufficient sleep, the synapses just process that gobbeldy gook better.
It looks like a beautiful day out there, but I know it’s freezing!

Day 540.
Had second shot Monday afternoon. In bed since yesterday afternoon (my b-day 
).
Felt like I’d done a hard stop off anti-depressants (yes, I have unfortunately done that in the past).
Fever is down a bit today. Should be 100% tomorrow
Hope everyone has a lovely day

Day 306 clean and sober today. Turned in copies of my resume and certifications yesterday afternoon as they requested and am now waiting to hear back that I’m officially hired and able to start work. I also had an appointment with my academic counselor for school and have the path of which classes I will need to take in order to move forward. I’m so excited to be able to work for the place that saved my life, it’s such an honor to me and makes me feel really good about myself. I’m getting Corey’s ashes delivered Friday and as soon as I am physically able to I will be taking his ashes to be scattered where I scattered his Mom’s ashes in the ocean at sunset. I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, love you!!!

Upset and more then ready to give in… Maybe 3 nights of no sleep, training on such a hard topic… Or maybe its people who cant have compassion.
I sit and i battle a fucking real life of challenges that i wouldnt wish on my worse enemy.
If the only challenge in my life was just the one addiction maybe i’d be stronger.
Maybe the fact the world struggles to see me as nothing but a freak has hit me too much…
Maybe the fight of understanding this world from a nero typical point is just too much…
Cruelty hurts, micking is painful… Taking the piss out of someone hurts!!!

I feel the same, adding and adding counter after counter, I felt like: wft, you are such crap. No, without these additional counter I feel that eg binging stopped, sweeteners seldom and so on. I need to be in contact with myself and not controlling my life with additional counters.

I love ya whether or not you’re counting or displaying your numbers …
… I had to stop and really think about that before trashing or posting. If I wasn’t already lying down, I’d have to lay down
