Checking in at the end of day 209. Late.
Went to see a couple of (drinking) friends with Mrs Singtone for dinner. Really enjoyed it. A pleasant evening. A drive home. A clear head in the morning.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.
Evening all! Checking in, will be 7 days since my last drink in 15 minutes time Getting back on the sobriety train has been SO tough but I havent cracked 7 days since May so Iām pleased to have this past week under my belt x
I had a craving for coconut water on the way to work so stopped and got a couple, good choice, Zzz!
63 whole days. Possibly a 16 year record
3MONTHS18DAYS
Since I surrendered my children to my sister and I asked the hospital for help, telling all my truths to staff and CPS during labor and before delivering my baby Jude via c-section. The state never took me to court and Iāve learned honesty has been far more rewarding than living a lie ever was.
1MONTH&14DAYS
Since I started living at a sober house for mothers in recovery.
1MONTH&10DAYS
Since my urine was clean, completely, other than Suboxone.
0MONTH&03DAYS
Since I switch to methadone after doing suboxone treatment for 9 years.
I feel like me again. I feel like itās Christmas every day too (like someone else posted). I am blessed and feeling pure bliss! I had my 3.5 month old the last two weekends overnightā¦ and now I have my 2 year old for this weekend and the next! I love them more than theyāll ever know. I submitted my permit application, I went for an eye exam and am awaiting my glasses any day now in the mail, Iām currently on a wait list to obtain housing AND saving up for my own vehicle! If all goes as planned Iāll be able to achieve stability and structure.
Congrats to you for saving your life! And thanks to the others who helped!

@Tinele congrats on your week
355 days no alcohol.
323 days no cocaine.
12 days no binge-eating.
4 days no nicotine.
Still so fatigued. Not getting anything done. No energy for exercising. Feel completely useless. Really hope my head clears and the fatigue starts to lift soon, but from what Iāve read it can take 30 days to 12 weeks! I need to do my cleaning, I want to start exercising again, and I want to get back on track with my eating plan. Not struggling with cravings really so thatās a blessing, but the fatigue is horrendous.
Welcome to the 400 club!!!
Waking up in someone elseās house is such an uncomfortable feeling and I am sorry you feel that way at your momās. I have faith one day you will find the perfect place to make yourself a home. It will be warm and cozy with all the things that make it yours. Why donāt you start doing a little manifesting? I like to use pintrest to put together interiors and exteriors I like, look books etc. I know there is a thread on here which focuses on the law of attraction/manifesting your dreams. I mean if nothing else itās fun and a cool way to keep your dreams alive.
Big squeezes to you beautiful friend.
The first days was pain, pain in my body, everywhere, stomach, chest, back. Headaches. So terrible, early sunday morning I was scared and went to ER. They say its gastric gave me something for that and sent me home. My head was running wild, anxiety, panic, pain. Panic attack and almost faint several times, losing control over my legs. Not thinking about drinking.
Next cuople off days lots of anxiety and pressing feeling in my head. Some pain in my body but not so bad. Not thinking of drinking.
Next days, feeling mostly good. Thinking of drinking. ALOT. All the time. Want to drink, want to drink.
Today I still wanted to drink. But also today for first time in long I did do my nigthroutin in the bathroom. And in the mirror I could see my face and eyes, they look much clearer, better. I did not drink today.
Congratulations on your first week of freedom.
Save this post. Especially that first paragraph. You never have to go through that again.
One Day At A Time.
Checking in. Itās not easy to stay sober. I just let time go by and try not to act on the cravings without conviction. I hope it gets better soon.

Its the 1st of August today. This year has FLOWN by! It seems like yesterday that we were waiting for 2020 to end, now were in August 21. It blows my mind how fast time fly. It deepens the notion that life is short and fleeting. Do what you want to do , today. Donāt wait till tomorrow. Enjoy your life. Enjoy every single day ā¦ Eat that frog today! ( great book if anyone wants a book recommendation! )
Its Sunday. The sun is out. My mind is clear. I have food in my fridge. Coffee in my cupboard. And a free day to go out and play in natureā¦I am grateful
Iām also going to go out to but some new books. An addiction that is never under control, but Iām OK with that well because books feed our minds and nourishes our souls
Going to plan how Iām gonna treat myself for my upcoming 100 Iām thinking about treating myself to a really good deep tissue massage and spa day its been a hot minute and I do love a good spa day
