Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I needed them tonight for sure. Made it home and had some peppermint tea instead. Just chilling with my family, and actually knowing what is going on.

15 days sober. I feel good overall and exercising helps me alot but am impatient to get to at least 100 days. Iāve done many sober breaks averaging 50days but I wanna double that: I failed 15 days ago but started right back because I never wanna give up until I get it !

Things that make the day easier - Not everyone has to like you, you can make mistakes, so can others, your opinion is only your opinion itās OK for people to disagree, itās OK to do nothing sometimes, what harm can a prayer do, treat the people you resent the most the kindest. breathe. it will pass.

Day 448
Perhaps linked to my craving yesterday, had an awful relapse dream last night. In the dream I got so sloppy, and felt so disappointed in myself it was physical. But no, it wasnāt real, nothing was lost and added another day today.

- Coffee. Needing it to wake up this AM. Iām back to sleeping lightly and dreaming lots, from the moment I fall asleep (which is very early ATM) till my alarm goes off. Not sure why. Maybe itās in the air Flo @Misokatsu.
It surely beats the alternative, which was drinking myself into a comatose state and having to come up from a deep black hole every morning. Many times still under the influence. Never again.
Iāll have a busy day at work but it will be doable because Iām sober and clean. Hope you all will be too. Have a good day or at least as good as you all can. I caught some pretty light on the river coming home yesterday. Love.

Hey Zak welcome to TS happy you are here with us. Patience is a spiritual principle that I have to keep practicing everyday, I will challenge you to practice it too! Recovery isnāt a race, and although itās nice to reach milestones itās really not about the numbers, all we have in us is 24 hrs at a time.
Stick around!!!

Day 1140 
I have an appointment with the surgeon next week, very happy with that. He will put me on the waiting list to have my operation. But due to Covid increasing here in the Netherlands the waitinglist are rising rapidly 
So fingers crossed please. But I manage to stay positive and sober! The opposite isnāt going to help one bit!
Picture from early walk yesterday. No matter what: I keep walking, Iām a sober walker

Checking in on day 494. Sober & clean!
I have again started the journey of figuring out the pain in my fingers, bones, joints, muscles. Doctor doesnāt know what it could be. We ruled out arthritis. He met me once only, but he is going to give me a referral to an actual pain clinic.
When taking the tests for arthritis, he apparently also ordered tests to check my thyroid. He ordered more tests for that because my TSH is very low, and has been for a while, but ny T3 and T4 are normal so he thinks I might have subclinical hyperthyroidism(?). 
No clue what that is tho.
The problem with this thyroid issue is that they are finally doing a full diagnostics on my mental health and neuropsychiatric conditions such as ADHD. I actually have been thinking for a while now that I might have had ADHD for years that has gone untreatedā¦ BUT. If I have a thyroid problem, it will put a halt completely to this path, at least while I stabilise.
Anyway 
life is actually quite good. I have been sober for a long time now and it just feels so natural. Sure, occasional cravings, mostly to get FUCKED up if i feel bad or smoke some cannabis but those thoughts are brief and easy ro over come.
Happy to be back
Edit. Oh yeah, I am also SUPER excited to soon visit @Ravikamor in California 
I have NEVER been to the USA. this forum has given me so many dear friends, support and love and now even an amazing vacation!
