Checking in here and sharing and reading everyoneās shares is where the magic and miracles happen. I need to read this each day whether you got day one or a million and one. We need each other and it works if you work it. And dang, Iām worth it and I know you all are too. 
After the long ass car ride to Cali yesterday with the Highlander packed with pets and other stuff my sore back and stiffness, I did not reward myself by getting all liquored up. No I didnāt!
I rewarded myself with a healthy fish dinner. Lots of Perrier and my favorite reward? No fucking hangover this morning! Getting trashed as a reward for a job well done is just plain stupid. Donāt wait til youāre over 60 to realize this. Itās just plain dumb.
Sober on folks.

@Hailstrom Congratulations on 800 days.
@Foreverfree36 Congratulations on 2 weeks.
@anon83587935 Congratulations on 9 months.
@SoberGuyUSA & @liv_m Awesome numbers
320 days. Itās hard to believe how close Iām inching up on being sober for a year. Thinking back on all the obstacles Iāve overcome I donāt think Iād change anything, except maybe the roommate issues, as these obstacles have taught me so much and have strengthened my mental, emotional and spiritual health. As my days are growing so am I. I know there is nothing that I would āreserveā for drinking. I know I donāt need to drink and the best part is being comfortable knowing Iām a non-drinker. It hasnāt been easy getting to this point but itās so worth it and it feels sooooo good.

@SoberGuyUSA @liv_m congrats on 1010 days both
265 days no alcohol.
233 days no cocaine.
2 days no binge-eating.
Hard to believe Iām a hundred days away from a year AF, that puts it into perspective a bit. All that matters is today though, every day.
The migraine has thankfully improved some. Iāve done my cleaning and showered today. Iām struggling not to think about junk food and the thoughts are an annoyance more than they are a trigger, so thatās an improvement.
Itās really great to see people coming here in their early days, because I know that doing so was the catalyst for my early days to grow into the days I have now. Keep checking in everyone, and what I told myself over and over in the beginning ā¦
Itās over, stay sober.

Day 8ā¦6.40am monday
Up at sunrise naturally this morning. Its 12 degrees. Cold and rainy. Cozy clothes weather today I will be seeking out local meetings and doing some research to see whatās around. I am going to go to a Pilateās class and commit to a daily class. Iām yet to really give Pilateās a go. If I want to loose the weight , which I do, I need to start commiting to seriously breaking a sweat 
today is a good day. Zero anxiety. Zero urgesā¦ Onwards and upwards

Sorry today is hard. But youāve done 20days! Well done. Focus on that and the things you have done and achieved today. Even if they didnāt fully detangle the mind, you are still building healthier habits

I totally get this and I remember feeling like this as if it were yesterday. You are very self aware and I feel it is going to get you a lot further than some people on this journey. Keep checking your own shit when you see it coming up. Nobody knows you better than you and if you call yourself out on your own bullshit well that is golden as far as I am concerned.
You are right, so keep practicing.
You are doing so many ārightā things. Meetings, journaling, reading, TS, gratitude, talking about how you are feeling, exercisingā¦ eventually everything will fall in to place and you will see what works for YOU. Everyoneās recovery is specific to them but it is important we try it all so we know if it fits us or not, or how much of it we need. Maybe podcasts would be better for concentration over reading for the ADHD? Or a combination of them both? There is an audio version of the big book you could listen and read along if you are going to AA. I am sure NA literature is available in audio as well.
Congrats on your 20 honest days of recovery love that you are here with us.
