Day 539. A bit over a week to go until I hit 1,5 years sober.

I gave back the keys today to my old apartment and they will pay me back the deposit I put down 4 years ago. Now I don’t have to worry about that money going into partying, alcohol, drugs and junk food.

Settling down in the new apartment.

Had a date for tonight bur cancelled it because I had been exposed to COVID, but also glad that I cancelled it. I wasn’t feeling it.

I’m not feeling myself, nor like myself. Hoping this will pass. I have no energy.

Congratulations on the 13 days!

EasyPeasy mentions that once the reader is done with the book and applied all of it’s methods, then he/she should not be experiencing any withdrawal pangs. If they are present, they are not severe.

In fact, this process is actually quite easy and enjoyable.

This is because EasyPeasy and EasyWay are not willpower methods. They work to break down our brainwashing. It challenges our subconscious to accept that instead of porn being this great source of pleasure, it actually does nothing for us. It has zero benefit. It has no value.

Thus, I’m not going to desire it. The cravings are gone. No withdrawal pangs. I’m a non-user because I don’t use. I don’t want it. Why pursue something that has no value?

I would like to know how far along you are in the book. I want us to have fun with this. :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face:

Hey everyone! I’ve been really busy with a lot of stuff…just trying to get my house in order so to speak. I hope everyone has been doing well, and welcome to the new ones I have missed! I really do need to get on here more, I have just had a lot going on…still sober with no issues though, somewhere in the 530-540 day range. How’s everyone been??

Checking in 81 days sober. Feeling a bit down and lonely today. My friends are downtown drinking. I’m feeling left out. I hate when this feeling hits. Alone on another Friday :confused:

Callie, what can we do to help you feel better?
Sorry you’re feeling left out.

I know what you mean. I don’t have any friends now that I’m sober, and I feel left sometimes. However, I just escaped from another bender, so I’m going to enjoy my alone time. :upside_down_face:

You are so sweet Alisa :yellow_heart: being here helps. Its hard to be by myself when I know I could be out with my friends. Choosing sobriety has also meant choosing a lot of solitude. I chose to stop drinking young and it’s had not to have a partner in crime to just be with. I know this feeling will pass and I just have to ride it out. Here’s to hoping I find a sober buddy :slight_smile:

I’m happy you are back Mark :blush::yellow_heart:
I definitely don’t mind a little alone time. But being at home alone during the holidays with my friends out and about posting pictures is hard.

Doing pretty well today. Didn’t leave the house except to return some library books. But I’m eating solid food again. Small victories, right? After 3 days of drinking water constantly, I’m still dehydrated. My lips are chapped and my eyeballs itch. :grimacing:

Evening check in
I have alot of catching up to do reading everyone’s posts :frowning: I just commented on another thread and I felt the need to do a check in as I haven’t done one today. I have been super distant from here and not myself. Mentally in a funk and needing to get back to my recovery focused things, like TS, meditating, exercise, & self care. I’m stressing about money, yet I just want my money problems to go away (therefore I don’t really address any of these issues which makes things worse). I’m avoiding things. Not facing things up front like I used to. I’m sad and scared and everything in between. I just need to stay clean and sober. It doesn’t solve all my problems right away but being clean does not make things worse!!! No more of this slacking. I’m learning that if I slack on my routine and my recovery, things go downhill fast :frowning: I just need u all. And I thank you all so much for checking up on me and making me feel like I matter :slight_smile:

Checking in 715 nights without booze.
An exhausted, a bit sad, lonely, and sober night beats my sloppy self drunk, any and every night of the week.
As long as I don’t take that first drink. I win :1st_place_medal:

  1. Coffee. Working weekend but a week off after that. Another hard lockdown is very probably coming too thanks to Omicron. Well. No gym. Hoping for some decent weather so I can do some stuff outside. Will have to wait and see.
    One of the few types of shops that will remain open are those selling booze. Essential right. Just like our weed selling coffeeshops. Thank god they’re no longer essential for me. Never again. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean and you’ll have the perfect start. Love form Amsterdam.
