I always bring my music and ear buds to every dental appointment. It really helps me calm down. Or rock out.
And leaving the pets is not minuscule. It’s so hard for me to leave my fur babies. And I got to leave them again next Thursday 
I hate it.
Your doing great 
Checking in day #39 
Happy Sober Thursday, y’all 
Yeah that’s a great idea! Maybe I will do that this time around. And yup I am so close with her so it is very very hard to leave her but I hope it goes well for you when you have to leave your pets. Like you said it is hard. Thank you for the encouragement! You are too!!! 
Checking for some strange reason I wanted a menthol cigarette right now I’m quickly coming here to stay accountable 
Congratulations on your 30 days! 
I’m so proud of you and happy for you. I’m excited for all the great things sober life is bringing to you. I think you’re pretty dang awesome. 
Happy Birthday Frank
Thanks! It was a nice one.
Hello sober friends. Today after a long hard days work after a huge internal battle I walked to the bottle store, after 5 days, and guess what. My card didn’t work. My boyfriend had taken my other card by accident. A divine intervention. I left more frustrated. Sent him a message to get me wine on the way home as he is out having drinks with friends. He knows but doesn’t fully understand my situation as he’s a completely normal take it or leave it drinker. Then. I deleted the message. I said I don’t need anything babe. And he said - what about chocolate and I said yes. The cravings are strong because I’m currently addicted I know, the cravings go. And I don’t rely on it anymore. Iv removed the monkey off my back before and I will do it again. And stay gone this time. God looked out for me today. He reminded me that I deserve a life free from poison. Thank you precious people
Having a partner who supports your sobriety isn’t entirely necessary, but it IS so helpful. Good for you!
Very sweet of him to offer to get chocolates instead.
Hey Misswest…God definitely is always there. We just need to remember and ask for the help.
You can do this. We all deserve to live a life free from that which binds us negatively.
Enjoy your chocolate.
Checking in Day 4. Finished baking a cake.
Feeling motivated and strong. Fog is lifting from last relapse.
Feeling some frustration and anger towards myself for taking this long to get my shit together…and how I’ve wasted so much time…aka soberity
Not going to sulk
Naming and cailming and moving forward.
Better today then yesterday and so on. I’m sober. Thank God. Good day all 
So glad to here.
Thank you Carolyn 
I was so happy to read that your son is doing so well. 3 weeks that was a really big hump for me. And now your oldest son. Such a positive trend- setter 
Yay for good things to come 
Doing ok man. Chilling and drawing
Checking in for another day!
I am realizing the HUGE benefit of mindfulness and meditation. Realizing now how powerful the mind is… so I am looking at finding positive ways to train it to work for me lol I have downloaded a few meditation and mindfulness apps to help me in this journey. Hope everyone is doing well 
much love
Yes girl! What a great quote. It is nuts how overcoming addiction we are literally trying to outsmart our own brain. It’s us against us. That’s why it’s so hard! Our inner addict can be tricky. You are definitely on to something. Mindfulness and meditation brings us back to our true selves. We can overcome it! Happy to see you here checking in again!

444 days no alcohol.

My binge-eating relapse began last Friday morning, today I reset at 3pm and I am hoping I can check in tomorrow with a full day again. I had crisps last night and again today. Out of everything I’ve eaten this past week they were the best. Most of it hasn’t been worth it at all. I can’t wait to start feeling better about myself again. I’ve gained 7lbs as well so I’m redoing the work I did to lose what I have recently. I really do hope I can stay on track for the rest of the year now.
I called the private hospital, there is a 10 week wait for the department I’ll.be having treatment under, so that is why I haven’t heard from them yet. I felt an idiot for calling so it would have been helpful if the receptionist hadn’t have said I’d hear within a few days.
The advertisement closes at midnight tomorrow so I’m hoping I might hear something soon
Happy 500 days!! Very proud of you!
Checking in Day 85, doing laundry and getting chores done which if you don’t know gives you a dopamine boost every time!
Had a little incident last night where I was writing out an essay on Honesty for my sponsor when my pen died. Went into my bedside drawer and noticed just nestled into the front corner one of my meth pills. 
If I did have a thought about doing it it was quickly answered with a big No and I got up right away and took it to the dumpster. At the same time I figured I should call my sponsor but she didn’t answer right away, but that was ok. Into the bottom of the dumpster went the pill. Yay!
It was almost like I didn’t have to think about it, for which I think I have to thank my Higher Power-God- and going to meetings every day.
Wish everybody a clean and happy 24
