Iā€™m celebrating day 59 today. And Iā€™m not craving. Iā€™m not thinking about using. And that is a miracle for me. Milestones have always been tricky for me. Before using EasyWay, my toxicity level has always been averaging around 7. Now my toxicity level averages around 4. My mind is in a much better state and thatā€™s how I know Iā€™m getting better. It is freedom and I love it. Have a wonderful sober Wednesday everyone!

Congrats on your 3 days! What a great way to kick off another year of your life. Sober. I was sober a little over 3 weeks on my birthday. It was hard but when I woke up the next morning still sober I felt like I was Queen of the World! You can do it! You deserve the gift of sobriety. Think of it as your birthday gift to yourself.

Day 517!! Happy almost Christmas!! I am so excited for Christmas this year. Beyond excited for when my kid sees her frog she has been begging for all year! Itā€™s been hiding in my closet for 2 weeks now? She has no idea! I feel like I am winning at Christmas! :frog::laughing:
Anyway. I was driving just now and in deep thought about all my past Christmasā€™s . Iā€™ve had some really bad ones! I mean, police involved in at least two of them and running from the cops. And just thinking all the way back to when I was a kid and I remember crying because all I got was toy horses (so ungrateful). Or even the year I was pissed because my cousin stole my Backstreet Boys CD and it ruined my Christmas. Or the year we had our dead tree up till June because my family was so dysfunctional.
I am a new person since I have been sober. Hitting rock bottom many many many times changed me. It took almost dying from the darkness that I attracted to myself to finally be done with it.
The last 3 Christmasā€™s since Iā€™ve been practicing sobriety have been the best of my life!!! I really feel like am a completely different person now. I am so grateful and thankful that I found it. I am happy!!! Hope you all have a good one!

500 days no alcohol.
61 days no nicotine.
2 days no cocaine.

Really not feeling well. I can hardly get out of bed and stay awake for more than a minute or two, freezing cold and shivering but sweating so much that the covers are soaked, having really awful nightmares too.

I did just about manage to make it out to my doctorā€™s for my blood tests, they struggled to get enough out, tried two veins, hoping they got just enough to do the necessary tests, came home went straight back to bed and have only moved to feed the cats, use the toilet, and take my meds.
