335 days. Yesterday went from bad to worse and I’m just going to leave it behind me. Still not feeling the greatest today and I’m thankful I don’t have to work. Doing some cleaning and laundry and plan to enjoy a lengthy nap after lunch.
Hello all I’m cruisin through day 12. Feeling good, eating good and working out. Just keeping busy and staying in the moment. Have a wonderful Monday all you sober rockstars!!!
I’m flying up north tomorrow, I’m nervous but I have to do it.
Prayers accepted for safe travels. Also a separate prayer for my son, thank you in advance.
Once upon a time, the last few hours of work would drag by. Craving what beer I would drink, what bar I would have “dinner at”. All those years, decades, I thought I was enjoying life. I was captive to a substance that was slowly destroying me.
I am looking back today, because work is dragging by…now, I cannot wait to get home and spend a quite night with my other half.
I got thinking about all this, reading relapse threads today.
If I could go back in time, not that it would help…I would express what a waste of Life I was living.
Active addiction, breeds bullshit thought processes. Bullshit out looks on life. Addiction has one purpose in life…to keep using your DOC.
If you find yourself stuck in the cycle, and cant get out. Seek help. Swallow your ego, your pride…raise your hand and ask for help. Something better awaits!
Day 5 down. Today was one of the first mild tests and reminders that no matter how confident I am, a lifetime of drinking habits can play tricks on me. It was the first test cuz I wasn’t at work and it was just a “getting stuff done” day. Could easily have made an excuse like I used to to leave the house and buy alcohol but i didn’t. My amazing wife could sense something i think and had a chat with me, which allowed me to talk it out and cement my resolve. Day 5 down. 14 will be my longest spell of abstinence for 15 years. I’m confident and excited, whilst enjoying the present moment and all the benefits sobriety brings to my life
progress not perfection. Be on your guard for the next few days bc experience has taught me I was OK so I’ll just have another. Suddenly life turns shit again.
It happens and it happens often. For you it happened Wakiki. No use lamenting the past. Learn from it and make a plan for the future instead. Sorry for the realization about your husband. By the sound of it it might be for the better. Hugs. Success.
So yesterday I injured my ankle at the gym. And I walked on it afterwards so damaged it more. But the time it was night fall, I physically couldn’t move it. The pain was unbearable. All that I could think was “I have a one on one meeting tomorrow with my therapist at OTP, I HAVE to be able to walk. I also have to go to work on Wednesday! I HAVE to be able to walk , its only my second shift! I can’t cancel!” …
I’ve woken up this morning and I can limp on it, so over night the swelling has settled but I can still feel the damage and I know if I walk on it , it will be worse. I have 5 hours till I have to leave for OTP meeting. I think I will ice it till then and see how I feel. I really can’t miss work tomorrow.
Everything was going so great then boom, one I jury and I’m unable to walk.
I am so beyond happy for you Kyle, this has put a grin on my face from ear to ear, I am so proud to have once being your sober twin. I fighting the good fight, on my longest stretch. Well done your awesome
