Day 325 clean and sober today. Super proud of all of us for walking through the shit storms of our lives together sober, so grateful for everyone sharing what theyā€™re going through. Iā€™m registering for school this morning and then Iā€™m walking over to speak with the director to see whatā€™s up with starting work. Have a wonderful day today, love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

I can really relate. Please donā€™t let shame or guilt about what youā€™ve done keep you down. It fucked with me for way too long and actually led to more relapses. Love for yourself and wanting to be better is going to help you, big time.

Day 90. Still putting one foot in front of the other. Itā€™s gotten easier. The 'ole punch one addiction down and another one (or more) comes bulging to the surface I found to be true for myself.

Thinking about wanting to smoke after almost 9 years quit has become less & weaker now. Transferring my sobriety to overeating has not become an ongoing issue. The only thing Iā€™ve noticed now is that my on-line purchases have definitely increased. Iā€™m not sure whether itā€™s because Iā€™ve simply given myself permission to get things I want or if itā€™s to reward myself which is okay with me to be honest. For now anyway. I will keep my eye on it & be willing to reassess.

Best wishes to all in their ongoing personal journey(s).

First of allā€¦CONGRATS on 90 days! Thatā€™s huge, well done. Youā€™ve created some space to examine other aspects of your life and the fact that you are self aware and willing to look at these things that worry/bother/concern you is a really good sign. Good for you.

Checking in at the end of day 120.
I read a post on here recently where someone (forgive me, I canā€™t remember who) said that they love planning days and then just executing those plans. That really chimed with me. I feel the same. Without the poison in the system messing with things, plans are a lot easier to follow. Itā€™s also a lot easier to rely on yourself to do what you know you have to do.
That was my day today. Dull, uneventful, but fantastic.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :zzz::sleeping:

Checking in day 487.
Just so dang grateful to be sober and out in Santa Monica. The last 5 years when I was out here we were living from one drink to another. Try and be sober for our responsibilities and when we visited the kids. Then find the next sidewalk cafe or bar. Thoughts of my stupid past are not going to interfere with my grateful sobriety of today. No they are not! I donā€™t know that guy! He was what he wasā€¦

Getting sober during this pandemic and now being out has made me so grateful every single moment of my day. I love this sober grateful life. And dang if Iā€™m not worth it and so are you.

To steal from @M-be-free49
Letā€™s all get us another sober day. We can do it! And weā€™re all worth it.
:pray:t2::heart::rose:

And to those in countries that are still struggling with covid and restrictions you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray there can be a light for you at the end of this tunnel. God Bless you all.

@Fnkychic Congratulations on 3 weeks.
@Steve92 Awesome job on 1000 days
@Pickles Congratulations on 90 days; honestly one of my favorite milestones.
@Singtone Congratulations on 120 days.

321 days. Feeling a lil flat and after yesterdayā€™s emotions Iā€™m good with that. Trying hard to process and work on my inability to be around the roommate without becoming anxious, angry and/or frustrated. I have no desire to interact with the guy at all. I donā€™t care about him & refuse to be fake and/or engage in any kind of small talk. Had a conversation about this with my man and have asked him a favor. I have asked if he can talk to the roommate about a timeline for moving out. I told him if Iā€™m unable to overcome my inability to be around him at least I will have a date in sight that I know I will no longer have to deal with him. He has said he will talk to him & I suspect feeling great relief after their conversation has taken place. My man started his new job this morning and itā€™s my turn tomorrow. Iā€™m excited on so many levels to start this new chapter.
