Checking in AF. Silvermines with the family today. Im waiting outside, have to much anxiety going under ground today Going to do the wall sit challeng when get home.
Day 51 check in. I slept obscenely long. Like 11 hours. Feeling better this morning. I think youāre right @anon9289869 it might be the air up here. It has been super smoky from the Canadian wildfires. I didnāt even consider the health effects that can come from poor air quality.
Stay strong everyone. Weāll miss your check-ins @Tomek, and weāll be here for you when youāre ready to be back.
Ohhhh, I am not doing anything wrongā¦ last time my addict was alive was around my 18 month mark and I just past my 19 month mark. That means itās been a month since my addict was alive last. Fucking cycle.
@Alisa thanks for the suggestions, we do alot of things together she just wonāt leave the house. And no the therapist didnāt say anything bad to us. I mostly post about shit that happens to me to help other people with ideas on how to get through rough times. I hope that they can see even at 19 months stuff like that still comes up and I have to chase the demon away. These are the ways that work for me.
Thanks again.
Iāve been much less active in checking in and going through I definitely know Iāve missed some markers.
@Clarity Iām sorry that I missed your one year marker, I know you were being strong last I heard of your progress and just handling life so much better
@SoberGuyUSA I did see that you made it to 3 years the other day and huge congrats man, what an accomplishment to have turned life completely 180 and just step up and be the man you needed to be in your life, good job my friend.
Anyways I jumped on to drop my big 365, one year of sobriety, Iām happy for myself to have gotten here mostly cause I never thought it would happen and also because it was never my intentions to walk away from alcohol. All the planned relapses, all the work I wasnāt doing, when I joined sobertime it shifted my mindset into a better place of work, progress and learning how can I make my sobriety better. It has been a journey one I will never forget but one that is now behind me as I step into one year, wholeheartedly no better than who I was a year ago but able to handle life on lifeās terms better than I could a year ago. Thank you everyone for the encouragement and support you have given me
Wow I respect that so much lol my friends want to go to this place ziplining and im soo soooooo scared lol so scared of heights but also getting sober for the first time I want to attack my fears lol for real but I would be shaking getting harnessed up. Good for u girl . So badass lol
Awesome!! Welcome to the 1 year club!! Feels good to be here, right?? You have had such great insights on this forum, so thank you for that!
Excited for the 500 day club coming up, I hear there is a bus!! Lol, Great work!
This really resonates with me, Ethan. I started with the intention (or rather, hope) of doing dry January, stumbling upon TS and enjoying the support and camaraderie. With the care, knowledge and experience of the people on here (very much including yourself), not to mention the responsibility and accountability that I started to feel, I started to believe that it was possible to go much longer.
Congratulations on your year. It is a colossal achievement. One that inspires me.
Checking in at the end of day 210.
Had a wonderful sober Sunday with my beautiful family today. Took my three older children for their first vaccine, and then had a great Sunday lunch together at home. An afternoon of relaxation and chat whilst watching some fantastic Olympic coverage, followed by a nice FaceTime call with my parents back home made it a lovely day.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.
356 days no alcohol.
324 days no cocaine.
13 days no binge-eating.
5 days no nicotine.
Feeling some improvement today, Iāve atleast been awake since lunchtime, havenāt napped this afternoon, even had urges to go to the gym and swimming or for a walk, but just donāt have the energy to get out of bed, having the urges feels like a good sign though, hopefully by resting today instead of pushing myself, maybe tomorrow I will actually manage to get back to exercise
Had the most awful relapse dream last night, very scary. Iāve recently been missing an old friend and feeling like reaching out, but the last time I did that I relapsed the same day after 88 days clean. I like to think Iād be stronger than that now but I just donāt think itās worth the risk, the dream certainly showed that too. I will just pray for them instead.
Amazing work man, congratulations!!! That is such a huge accomplishment. Youāve done everything once now while sober lolā¦every holiday, every season, birthdays etcā¦
