I’m walkin in a park in Toronto reading your post…I have zero advice, everyone walks at their own pace…but you’re not walkin alone.

Be well,

Checking in Day 82… great news this morning I met with a lady and now I have a sponsor in NA!

I am so happy it can be hard to ask someone but I knew I needed to get over myself and did it.

So far I have to phone every day
Send 3 gratitudes every morning
Read Basic Text up to Step 1
Start Questions from NA step-working guide Step 1.

So blessed, I am so blessed.

Welcome back, I agree it’s damn hard to get back after a relapse. When they say our disease is progressive they mean it. Glad you’re here and that you’re trying again. Don’t give up, ever.

  1. Quick rant! I went to meet with my supervisor this morning to present my final draft of my presentation tomorrow. Opened the PowerPoint and 4 of my slides were gone :sob::sob::sob: I was in tears literally. I worked my butt off this morning and had the 4 slides done by 10am. I’m an currently attending a virtual training until Thursday and now I’m bummed I have to miss tomorrow morning for my presentation. There’s a keynote speaker that I was super excited to hear from. Anywho! I’m gratefully sober another day! Have a wonderful week TS fam​:purple_heart:!
    P.S. I missed my party Saturday due to my kidney stone not going away. I was in way to much pain to leave the house. But, my son is going to wear the costume to school for Halloween so it’s not a waste of $!

Checking in and using all my tools! Practicing gratitude and appreciating what I have in my life today. It always helps when I’m not feeling great physically. I had a mentrual headachy day yesterday and today is better. I lost a beloved pot in the windy storm last night and felt sad, and it reminded me to sit with the feeling and let it go. I needed to harvest that lemongrass anyway. The broken pieces can be used again or it can be a lesson in impermanence. Helped a friend today (at least I hope I did) and just listened to another knowing I couldn’t do much but I could listen. And I told my husband we are getting pizza for dinner. It’s one of those days. :heartpulse:

@RecoveringJP congrats on your month :tada:
@TerriL welcome :slightly_smiling_face: congrats on 51 days :tada:

441 days no alcohol.
409 days no cocaine.
2 days no nicotine.
1 day no binge-eating.

I feel so strange without nicotine. I can’t really do anything apart from lay in bed, brain won’t even let me look at memes or read. The dreams are horrendous and so is the sweating. I really hope this is my last quit with nicotine. I could eat so much but determined to stick to my diet.
