That’s absolutely true @Chiron, doing the work I’m doing now working with addicts is truly saving my life on a daily basis. I feel like I’m really doing something that’s so important and I feel like I’m getting more healing from the clients then I’m giving to them. I know that that’s not true but my heart is full and overflowing having the opportunity to work with these guys. I know that this is what Corey would want for me and that he’d want me to stay clean and sober. I miss him everyday. Thanks Chiron, have a good night :sunglasses::metal:t2:

I agree with @LeeHawk bro. You’ve been fighting this for a long time. What’s 90 days in a program out of the rest of your life? My opinion and suggestion would be to give yourself a break and a chance man and take some time to take care of you, it’s absolutely ok to do that. Much love and strength @zzz you can do this!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

437 days. Had a great day yesterday spending the entire afternoon with just my stepdaughters. Consciously making an effort to stay positive but am still struggling. My man misplaced his ring and somehow it ripped at my heart and I allowed it to ruin the rest of my evening. Today has been a weird day. I feel entirely exhausted but know I couldn’t sleep as my mind is still on overdrive. My anxiety and lacking ability to control my emotions is frustrating. Meds need time to see any benefit and I won’t lose hope. I totally lucked out and got my 1st counseling appointment, at a new place, on Monday. It’s going to feel so good just to do an emotional dump. Looking forward to going to play dice this evening. Any outing right now seems to feel good.

26 days no alcohol / 272 no weed

Another good day. Taught my regular yoga class this morning. I’m still getting back into the swing of things but it feels good to teach. Enjoyed some swimming again this afternoon as we’ve been having some hot days.

I’ve also been making a lot of fires this week and man, my wood chopping skills are really increasing. I never thought I’d be chopping much wood in my life, let alone enjoying it, but I am! It channels some aggression and accomplishes a task, so that’s pretty sweet. Happy Friday everyone!

I’m sorry things aren’t working out for you. Rooting for you that you get it figured out. You deserve sobriety if you want it.

All good here surprisingly, despite uncertainty going on. Doing 2 week temp job Covid testing at a school so its a bit of money whilst dbs is being processed. Had a job interview yesterday was persuaded by a recruiter, wont do any harm. Went really well as i was not nervous. What will be will be.

Paul good news you starting to feel better, impressed with your days :+1:

Thanks @CATMANCAM and well done

Off swimming now, i got myself a wetsuit as rivers temperatures have dropped, tested last night, makes a huge difference. Swimming is so good for my head, so i am happy i can swerve the freeze.

Have a blessed Saturday all :pray:

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 362
Getting close to a year exactly now. Tried to find a picture from last year. When I had a relapse after staying sober for a few months. Gave up looking after a while when I realized that I probably don’t want to see it. All the Instagram posts I made was more than enough.

I’m still not really sure of who I am, what I like and who I’m supposed to be. But I’m certain that I want to stay clean and sober. The difference I could see on my own appearance, judgement, and not to forget, in my own eyes is amazing. And a little scary. Scary that I saw what I used the be,and the lifestyle that I used to have as a great way of life. Still nowing that something was off. I’m glad I’ve found this place to figure things out,and to keep me sober and sane through it all.

I’ve ended up not hanging around here as much as I used to. But I’m still checking in from time to time. And I’m doing great, trying to figure out what I want in life. Who I really am.

Wishing y’all an amazing weekend. And sending the biggest thank you I’ve got for all the love and support I’ve had here. :heart: And still has.

Day 1 on my reset, was AF for a year and my moderation experiment for the last 6 months has put me right back to my old habits…

  1. Late afternoon coffee after coming home from spinning classes, followed by a recovery ride to the dairy farm to get cheese and meat. Now watching cycling and F1. Feeling good. Fit. Sober and clean. Life is not simpler or easier but it so much better being free from stupid drinking. In all aspects. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Making it clean and sober is an excellent start to that. Love from my little windy ride today.

    @liv_m It makes me glad to see you doing well Mel. Congrats on 30 days.
