Congratulations!
Checking in on day #12 alcohol free. Iām trying to focus on gratitude and mindfulness. I feel the most disconnected when I donāt meditate or pray for a day or more. I couldnāt figure out why I felt off the last few days and then it donned on me on the drive to work that Iāve been forgetting to pray. Iām not even religious, I literally pray to my dogs in heaven and the universe. But the act of saying out loud that I canāt do this by myself and I need help is humbling and I feel the shift in vulnerability in my subconscious. Iām trying to let go of religious trauma from my past so I can get more comfortable with the idea of prayer and asking a higher power for guidance without feeling guilty like Iām burdening someone. One day at a time, Iām learning to be compassionate with myself and learning that itās ok to take my recovery at my own pace
Day 428
It is 5.45 am and Iāve only just got home and I am fucking sober I even declined a cigarette!.
Recovery is possible, living a life clean is fucking amazing!
I am not perfect, i have flaws but I also noticed how I made my friends laugh so much that one of them wet themselves!
They might of had drinks but I stayed sober, fuck me my previous self would of told me 10,000 reasons why I needed a substance.
Believe in yourself!
Recovery is possible

Youāre welcome. During the next few weeks, really try to pay attention to your inner chatter. Challenge the negative as if you were talking to a beloved friend. Change the inner negative communication for something better. That should really support you in your sobriety goals. 13 days is amazing. You can do this!
Congratulations on 1 year of sobriety Oliva so happy for you
I need that candle so muchā¦

- I see the sun peeking through my windows. I better hurry outside and catch some of its warmth before it disappears for the next six months or so. Iām alive. Iām clean and sober. Iām free and able bodied. I better enjoy whatās been given to me.
Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Pic is from the recently, finally, finished National Holocaust Memorial not far from my place, in the middle of the old Jewish Quarter. Visited yesterday. 104,000 stones with 104,000 names of murdered Jews, Sinti and Roma. Impressive and sad. Love from Amsterdam.
Actually 181 days when I changed it in settings
@Axsis Huge congrats on 2 years Mykola! Recovery is work. It will remain that way. It it is a work of love though. Keep going. You will reap the rewards I am sure.
