I love the quote and it’s so true. People who you thought were friends end up not being there when you need them once you are sober. People would say I was just being guy cause I was sleeping around and sending pics to all kinds of women. But my addiction wasn’t just me being a guy sleeping around. It’s a lot more than that and they didn’t understand it. But keep your head up and stay your path.

Cracked day 2 today 
Was feeling really good and proud of myself after a relatively stressful day at work I didn’t have any cravings. Got home, partner in a being really supportive, took the dogs out, I thought ‘im home clear here’ then after the dinner the urges hit like a tidal wave 
. Took some advice from messages I’d seen in this group and others on ways to distract myself and refocus and am pleased to say I’m now off to bed with the sobriety streak still in tact. 1 day at a time!

Checking in on day 20. Today I woke up in shock and realized that there is so much adulting that I need to catch up on … Jesus Christ. I was busy being a depressed pile on the couch for the last 2 weeks, so I missed a lot. Moving countries and getting my degree approved is messy and frustrating and I didn’t want to deal with it.
I saved up to take off half a year off work to have time to move and to finish my thesis. My 6 months are coming to an end, even when my thesis is not 
I’ll be starting a part time job at the vaccination center soon, that’ll give me some structure, pay my bills for now and buy me enough time to get everything in order and to apply for jobs. It could all have been avoided if I hadn’t vanished in an epic relapse, sigh. Life happens while we’re busy making other plans, right? I’ll work my way out of it, one day at a time

@Desire2ChangeToday Happy birthday! Be kind to yourself, progress not perfection, and you have made inspirational progress!
@MrsOdh Thinking of your dad and you.
@dalex77 lol at your addiction names.
@liv_m Take care.
@Dazercat Great timing, I have not been working on gratitude recently, and feeling pretty hurt and misunderstood lately, I think one would probably help the other.
@mleclaire Happy birthday!
@CATMANCAM A walk in the fresh air always helps me. I tried to jog when I was in a funk on Wednesday, in the end had a walk in the rain and felt refreshed. I hope you can get out soon.
@Tomek Hugs. You are dealing with a lot. Wish I had some useful words.

Wanted to check in today. Man it’s been round and round lately. So much going on at work and in life…just can’t seem to get a good peaceful period of time. I wish some of this craziness would just stop already! I am keeping it sober though, so no worries there. Just always tired and mentally drained.

I’m back to day 1 too. Keep hoping that this time will be the time that sticks but the same person is instrumental in every slip. And in hating myself. Only got myself to blame in the end though I guess. Strengh and hope to you
