Thank you!
Day 6 much love, last night Iām not gonna lie. I really wanted to use Iām such a idiot but thank god I didnāt.
Oh wow, you really are getting it from all angles. How is your son feeling, poor kidā¦ Thatās traumatic for a little one. How old is he?
Sending Sober vibes out to everyone after an interesting church/sober house meeting. All good thingsā¦ just kinda different.
Checking in with
48 days no alcohol
11 days no cigarettes
Remember to put your sobriety first so that everything you love in life doesnāt come last.
Iām glad you didnāt pick up good job on 6 days
Keep hanging in there and focus on making the next good decision only. Sending you good thoughts.
Youāre right, Paul. Weāve all changed for the better, including you. We no longer look for the solution at the bottom of a bottle or drug. Weāre learning how to live life on lifeās terms and I think weāve all done a great job doing so. Each one of us has been handed multiple shit sandwiches along the way and weāre still sober. Win win!! Love you my friend.
Checking in day 438
I must admit my mind is playing tricks on me latelyā¦but I see what itās doing there.
Figured I would check in. Made it through the weekend sober with my dad and his fancy wife and their fancy winesā¦. So thatās good.
@Desire2ChangeToday Congrats on 800 days!! Thatās a beautiful number!
Love the new avatar.
Fancy wife and wines
Good for you Sara.
Great job on keeping your 438 in tact. It does get easier.
Ahhhhh,
I just was getting so frustrated and went to vent on my thread and you were the last person to post there. I saw you and your little, it made me smileā¦ now I dont need to vent anymore
Congrats on your days.
Great job Mike! Really love your new avatar too.
ODAAT
Whatttt vent away I am all ears!!
Thanks guys, @Dazercat I think I finally found a good avatar! Maybe I can finally stick with it for more than a week.
Missed you guys!
54 days is such an amazing accomplishment I am so happy and feel so lucky you are here.
Day 65! Continued today to reduce coffee consumption. I did a half a cup and then switched to tea. Iāve gone through tea only phases in my life before and Iām leaning towards that right now. This week I am feeling less anxiety and stress. Iām not sure whatās helping exactly because Iāve been doing many things to relate to it, but maybe itās just a combination of everything: daily yoga, guided meditations, dream journaling, box breathing, less caffeine, adaptagens, other supplements to help with hormonal stressesā¦and not drinking of course. Iāve also been trying to work more consciously with negative thoughts ā identifying and reorienting my mind when they arise. Sometimes it seems futile but I do think itās actually helping. Hope everyone is well.
Woot! Well done, chica!
We will rise above
I see so much hope on this thred
Also a bit just pushing through
I saw someone talking about their addict thoughts
It was interesting for me to understand this
Maybe itāll help me if I can understand these addictive thoughts as what they are which is indeed, my addict thoughts
Congrats on your days
This weekend I planned to go to the pool up the canyon but couldnāt because Octoberfest was happening. Was with my good friend. She and I have a real relationship (I mean we hang out sober all the time) but drank heavily together for years before she had kids.
She wanted to stay and have a few beers so I was her DD and didnāt drink. It was interesting to not have a craving to drink. Didnāt even hesitate, just said no. Also, watching drunk people slurring, stumbling, loud culver etc. really good for me to see.
I always thought drinking was ācoolā or fun or playful. Itās notā¦ā¦ itās pretty stinky, sloppy and gross. Iām soooooooo happy Iām sober. To wake up with a clear head and no anxiety after a night out.
Definitely not going to be around drinking all the time, I know cravings are just around the corner. Iām just grateful for an afternoon of perspective.
Day 600~ Hi friends! Thought Iād do a quick check in itās been a while since Iāve been on this thread. Lifeās been good. Super crazy busy and have tons going on but I think about you all often. Iāll be forever grateful and thankful for TS and helping me navigate through my sober journey. Today was day 600! Thatās right Iām now an official member of the 600 club!! I hope you are all doing well and staying strong. Much love and keep fighting the fight!
Long dayā¦ Iāve been taking naltrexone for the last 10 days and it makes me tired and irritable. If itās not better by the end of the week Iām going to stop. Last thing I need is to be more annoyed by life while trying to parent and work and be sober. Itās supposed to help me NOT drink for fuckās sake!
26 days done.
