Well done mate, Iāll never forget them first days, getting to the end of that first day after so many attempts feels like a massive achievement and quite rightly so.

Thanks for your response Callie! 
Maybe I donāt need to prove what already isā¦ Iāve heard this before, but maybe something I should work on then. Itās hard, I feel so incomplete and hopeless sometimes, but other times I can see so clearly that itās just that, a feeling, an immaterial, powerless little thought in the end. And damn right itās shaped me to be more empathetic over time, true - I often find it difficult to name something good about myself, but thereās one. Itās nice to hear I can make a difference to someone like you tooā¦ We are in this together! Glad to have you here Callie.

This rocked my day buddy, thanks for being there! I remember you (I think it was) writing one time that you could do with some love and that moved me to do the same when I admit it was true for meā¦ Thereās strength in numbers. Thanks man!

@mich80 Great job on your two weeks!
@anon53116147 Four days is good. You can do this. I know you can.
@kat261 Godā¦ Iām so sorry about your old sponsor.
@Hidden Congrats on you 699.96 days. 
That number is actually a pretty fun catch. But seriously, congrats. Great job, especially with all the rough stuff youāve dealt with lately.
@1in8billion Sometimes we are afraid of the unknown. Change, even change we want, can strike fear into dark crevices of our subconscious for things we may not even be aware of. Out of that we can sabotage ourselves over and over. Hang in there and keep trying. You havenāt failed until you stop trying.
@MolotovMoxie 60 days! I love the pictures! Great job!

Checking in at end of day 76 off meth pills just got home from NA meeting, one of the topics was self-love. I didnāt know what to say til the very last minutes but finally shared that for me, self love involved taking care of myselfā¦brushing teeth, exercising etc.
Then it came to me that actually me being in recovery, going to meetings and working a program was actually the greatest form of love I could give myself, and here I was doing it!

I can relate to this.
I have shared before, that in the begining āworking on my recoveryā looked like showering, brushing my teeth, doing my dishes, making my bed. That active addiction had taken my living conditions to an animal level.
I had never considered this an act of self love before so thank you for referring to it this way. In my eyes these were just āthingsā that I was taught to do , then expected to do as a child; and then my life had become so unmanageable. You are right though they are a very basic act of self love and all those times in the early months of recovery where I was still suffering in self loathing and miseryā¦ I was actually lovinā on myself quite a bit.
Congrats on your clean time.

A fear of the unknown changeā¦ Addictions are often the tip of an icerberg. Curious how it takes changing the big picture to change the little things (& vice versa)ā¦ I havenāt given up just yet, donāt worry my friend, thanks Chiron
