You got this!!! One minute at a time to get to one day at time
Day 14 kind of bleh
Checking in on this cold morning with no desire to smoke or drink thank God have an awesome morning guys !!
Hey Mike ! Goodmorning bro have a killer day mayb go for a walk , read up on something or even 20 minutes to meditate all the good you have accomplished
I cried me a river early on, Liam. I still shed more tears than I ever did before - but it is almost under control.
It is so unbelievably worth it, though. In fact, I have grown to love the tears. Just to love the emotions in general. It’s how we’re supposed to feel.
Checking in on the evening of day 298.
It seems completely surreal to be looking at that number. It feels like it must belong to someone else.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.
Thanks so much for your reply I know the next few days will be the hardest
Once you get to three days, it feels possible. Once you hit ten, it is almost entirely out of your system and you are in the driving seat, making all of the decisions.
Drink tons and tons of water. It obviously stops you being thirsty. It helps to flush the system, and it helps you to make good decisions. Good luck.
Thanks man hope you have a killer day as well
Hey guys, checking in on day 501. @icebear and @Mno I think you guys are the only ones I didn’t thank yet, so thank you!! I really appreciate you taking the time to think of me.
Huge thanks to everyone for all the congrats yesterday, you guys are the best. As usual, I hope everyone has a good one!
I think my good friend @Mno would say: you know recovery and therapy are not linear, are they? From what I can gather here you are doing just fine, I mean progresswise. My friend Menno would tell me to kick the little complaining must-monster in the but. Or, he would tell me to be kind to the unheard child that is trying to tell him something. Big hugs
Day 503 clean and sober today. Yesterday was tough as f**k but I made it through without using or harming myself so that’s a win in my book. Love you guys very much, thank you for all of the love support you give to me. Have a great day today!!!
Thanks that’s really encouraging
Congratulations on your 2 days! I remember someone told me to keep feeling the feels and go through it. They fade and change but keep going. You’ve got this !!
Thank you Stella I’m really happy I found you and TS as well.

Mike checking up on you hope all is well
Checking in at 1 year 8 months and 6 days. I don’t know how many consecutive days in a row that is but anyway today I have a dentist appointment and my mom is bringing me because I don’t drive since I lost my license. I get anxiety in the car AND at the dentist now that I am sober. Don’t know why, that’s just how it is. Anyway I am a little bit worried but trying to remain calm about it. It went fine last time I went but my anxiety and intrusive thoughts just get the best of me. Then I am spending the weekend with my parents and I have to leave my cat Birdie behind and I really don’t want to leave her. I always feel so bad because she sits at the door and cries for me whenever I go even if it’s just for 5 minutes. I know these are minuscule things but they stress me out so if anyone could say a prayer for me that I have a good procedure and stay calm during the car ride and at the dentist then that would be awesome!
Congratulations on day 2 Liam.
I’m still crying some days even after all the sober days I’ve wracked up here. I just let it happen. And embrace my soul.
I’ve posted this before but it’s been awhile. In case anyone is interested.
I never miss a day on the gratitude thread.
