Not much to report. Feeling good. Woke up at 5.20am naturally. Love that for me
@Charlie_C 200!!! Nice work charlie love having you around here @dalex77 Dan stay with us @Rockstar24777 rob how are you feeling today? @JuliaLuna Julia congrats on getting to 2 stay with us @CATMANCAM Tyler I’m so proud of you for sticking with swimming
So our lockdown has been extended again by another week. We were due to reopen tomorrow but its been extended. So another week of zooms and no gym or work.
I’m proud of myself this time around with no online shopping and no uber eats! I did buy one book from Amazon yesterday, it was only $12 and it is a book I’ve wanted for a while , so I don’t think that was naughty. A book is brain food right ?? gotta feed my brain
Also normally by now I would of spent all my pay already. But with 5 days left till pay day, I still have half of my pay in the bank , that I have put away in a special savings account. This is a goal I’ve tried every fortnight to do but fail every time. I always end up spending it and still leave myself with only enough cash to make sure I get my morning coffees and food each day. This time I finally made a change and adulted !! I cant actually touch the money or see it, its in an account that is hidden. Great idea. Highly recommend it if anyone wants to save. If I can see my funds on my app, I wake up every morning and I end up shopping online before the sun has even risen and before I’ve even finished my morning coffee… I spent tens of thousands last year in lockdown. This time around I feel good and have not made that mistake again.
Its taken me 41 years but I think I’m finally learning how to be responsible with money
Good girl, April!
I’m the only one in my family that’s good with money; my mother and sister are jealous and they say I still have the first dollar I ever made, lol. I grew up with it always being an issue and fights in the family so I learned early that my money is mine!
I’m really happy to see you doing great!
Hi TS,I’m on the cusp of 60 days, More than 60 miracles to get me here today,just a question…I was wondering what is going to entitle my thread to go into a different category?..it got demoted (by TS ADMIN?) to RELAPSES,which I was a bit annoyed about,(probably thought fuck it I’ll carry on relapsing for a while then,(resentments))…I think it was in LIFE IN RECOVERY, so I’d really appreciate going back in that category?..thanks in advance
2nd check in. Had a very good day, work went well, my lady did amazing with her supervised visit, made my day.
Thank you for all you birthday wishes
Was on my own this eve , and did think - one would be nice, but read again my journal of my last relapse which is in such detail it makes me shudder… those thoughts stopped, could not bear the tomorrow. Walked my . @Rockstar24777 sending some comfort your way. @Charlie_C massive congratulations on 200 days… @anon53116147 welcome back
Wishing you all a strong night or day🙏
day 253, + 180 - 1 relapse and 18 months - about 100 24hr relapses + 90 days and another 9 months of relapses. As long as your sober today my dear is the only thing that’s relevant. Congratulations
This to will pass my friend, I have days when I would love a beer and a nice fat joint but it’s just a thought and I don’t have to react to it. I also don’t always have to be happy about my new life choice but I’ll tell you something for nothing as long as I get through the day and wake up sober in the morning that feeling of pride and success is worth all those pity party moments. Keep your chin up bc your doing a great job
Congrats on 10m!!! I like this post. It’s accurate as to what we go through in life. Mountain tops and Valleys.
What struck me was the fact about loving yourself. I’ve struggled with that practically my whole life…not loving myself. But as you say little by little it does get easier and in my young sobriety I could see glimpses of this in my own life and it’s refreshing. Still getting used to it but it’s a start.
Oh, I hear you. I am absolutely taking each day at a time, just like how I did for 250 days before, and 30 days, and a week and a couple days, etc. Similar stories, amigo. It just helps remind me that I can keep going each day by reflecting on my previous days, so for the first 30 days or so I’ll keep that 250 on there as a confidence booster Thanks for the reminder!
We find it very easy to identify the negatives about ourselves and then we struggle to find those posistives.
Yet if you were to ask a friend the good they can identify so much and find it a tad more challenging/uncomfortable on the negatives.
So if you are struggling go ask a friend and take what they love about you and utalize it.
love having you around here 
gotta feed my brain 
so happy to read you back on track
.
Thanks for the reminder!
