Today will be one week without a drink. This past week I have been offered more drinks than I have ever been offered in the past. I tried going to a meeting last night and ran into someone who hurt me really bad in the past, brought up a lot of awful memories and feelings that I have been avoiding. BUT I didnā€™t drink. I called my sponsor, and we talked through it. I still havenā€™t drank and Iā€™m really proud of myself.

Congrats on 1 week!! That was the hardest part for me. After the first few weeks it became easier as I started to learn how to live life sober. Keep up the hard work!

My first check in. Itā€™s snowing lightly here in Ontario and -9C. No sun today but Iā€™m going to make the best of it.
4 months and 5 days from cannabis and toxic relationships. Those were my crutches when trying to cope with trauma and abuse.
Still struggling with the withdrawals and aftereffects of 5 years on toxic antidepressants.
Struggling with ruminating thoughts and ptsd but working everyday to cleary mind of the past abuses I suffered.

Day 74. Grateful waking up sober, grateful I can help my girls mother and keep my girls instead of going to a babysitter, grateful that God has given me his will and strength to do anything I put my mind to with the proper tools if I just open my eyes and look. Me and the girls had a fun morning, made some crystal rocks we got them for Christmas, takes a couple days but totally worth it. They are both super tired bc they came here really early this morning so quick little naps and relaxing for a little bit. Have a good day everyone, once they leave im gonna read a little of my new book and possibly work a little on my drawing, definitely needed a little break from that I donā€™t plan on quitting either, bit definitely needed a quick recharge. Much love

Awesome Kat!
It is my favorite piece of NA literature there is a group of women ( 7 of us) doing a book study using this book. Since going through it with a fine tooth comb I can not wait until we are finished ( hahah) so that I can start it again myself and use each little section as a journaling prompt. AMAZING stuff in thereā€¦

@Callie99
Carolyn I will tag you because maybe journaling is your thing?
