Checking in daily to maintain focus #33

Sounds like your addiction talking in your own voice. Also sounds a lot like how you sounded before you went out the last time.

I agree with @Englishd, I hope you’re doing okay Mike. Ever since I joined TS you’ve been a huge part of the community. Recently I’ve especially loved seeing all your tattoo work and your progress.

If you have slipped up or are close, I beg you to pull yourself back up and keep fighting. We’re all here for you.

It was a beautiful warm day today. I rode my bike up the shore 27 miles. Watched the sun sparkling on the water. The leaves are starting to turn. Celebrating day 100.

49 Days Alcohol Free / 290 Days Cannabis Free

Survived the family visit and no relapses despite being surrounded by partying and intoxicants all weekend. Seeing other people messed up also reinforced my desire to be sober. But I’m tired…ready for a good nights sleep tonight. Big week ahead.

Hey there brother, there are so many people on here from so many different backgrounds, you don’t need to click with any/everybody buddy… There are no obligations or expectations on here, just yourself… :wink: Maybe you just need some time for yourself or even vent on here if it’s not offensive, but honesty is important :pray: Everybody is different here. :slightly_smiling_face:

Your not here for us your here for you. Fuck us and the disconnections, think less what other people think or what you think over people think bc that’s your ego looking for some kind of approval. personally I post what I want when I want, it helps me, if it helps someone else that’s even better but ultimately I need to keep myself sober or I’m no help to anybody. Over the last year or so your have inspired me at times and I’ve been jealous of how well you were doing and your amazing attitude and the respect you seem to have earmt yourself from other people on here. Now your feeling a bit low that hasn’t gone away you only think it has and only you can get yourself back into a position to feel that community love and bond. we’ve all been there mate thinking we’re better off alone. No we’re not.

Checking in and I feel good.

I took all my unfamiliar, steady painful feelings and instead of causing harm to myself I applied a skill I learned in DBT. Opposite action… it made sense to me. Opposite action is what has saved me the last 630 days from picking up dope and booze. I am doing everything opposite from what I did when I tried to stay clean before my relapse. Opposite action worked today too…
So as my knee jerk reaction wanted to be harmful actions that just don’t fit me anymore, I chose a loving action and fed my body some warm yummy food.

I am done fucking suffering.
Fuck addiction, Fuck cancer and Fuck Covid
