Day 503
Happy new year
Yes, I spoke with them about my feelings too, so that they can understand me a bit better. It helped to lessen the tenseness on this situation, but I still donāt know how to let them closer.
Day 5 just checking inā¦Happy New Year
88 days AF
Yes me too. Colorado is one of my favorite places on earth. Iāll be praying for all the families who are affected.
You sound like you have a fun night planned. I LOVE cards against humanity- but Iāve only played the adult version.
Iām really happy our paths crossed too Ami, have so much fun tonight
Wow!!! Omg a huge congratulations to you on your 4 years!!!
Checking in today.
- I am struggling at my office this morning because I donāt like working alone. Being alone is associated in my history with acting out, and Iām still working on being comfortable being alone, trusting myself being alone. One day at a time.
- Related to the point above - I am grateful for Talking Sober. When my mind started spinning out into that mudslide of addiction thoughts, I came here and immediately felt better. Thank you for being here guys. I donāt feel alone here. (Also thank you for the Internet. Thank goodness. Hundreds of people are available with a few clicks. Amazing I am grateful for that.)
Take care folks and have a safe, sober day.
Not 4 years yet! September 2022 I hope!
Morning check in
Happy New Years Eve everyone! I slept really well last night (a hot lavender bath always helps). Woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take this day on. No crazy dreams about exs or using. Feels good! Lol Today itās really cold out (-42Ā°C with the windchill) but I am heading out for groceries. Going to do some organizing today in the apartment and then maybe hit the gym. My hubby was sent home from work due to the cold. The construction site got shut down for today. So heās home too. Going to enjoy an na meeting online today also, do my prayers and guided meditations. Also going to spend some time reflecting on what needs to change and be worked on for the new year. Things that Iād like to improve on within myself so that Iām a better person for myself, my family, and for the world. New Years eve (and holidays for that matter) have never been a trigger for me to use. In the past, everyday in general was a day to use so thereās no triggers around holidays for me, but I realize that many do experience a hard time. I will be home tonight and on and off of TS. If anyone needs someone to listen or vent to or talk to, u can always message me on here Praying and hoping that everyones new years eve is safe and addiction free hugs!
Oh I realized now that I read it wrong. Still thoā¦ u have serious time under ur belt! Something to be proud of
I heard about that cold! Stay safe
Thank you I like the message you wrote above. And wanna share in your wish for tonight:
I think itās a nice wish for 2022 as well!
Wow !!! Heartfelt congratulations !! Youāve been such an inspiration and sound counsel. 1200 is just awesome !!!
Thank you! Yaā¦ actuallyā¦ its weird to think thisā¦ but with it being this cold out, Iām grateful Iām clean and sober right now. There were a few occasions in the past back in Winnipeg Manitoba (where Iām from) where I would be stranded outdoors or so out of it that I couldāve potentially froze to death. Itās scary to think about. It worries me alot actually about those that pass out on the street after the new years eve party etc. Thereās usually at least 1 or 2 people that are found frozen to death on Jan 1st. Very sad. Grateful Iām clean and sober and warm
Thatās sweet of you to say, thank you.
Itās true !!! š¼:white_heart:
Thank you I just really wish the best for everyone on here. My heart goes out to everyone who is struggling. If I could rid the world of one thing, if would be addiction. Just take it all away. We all deserve so much happiness, to be loved and to love, to feel that sense of belonging, and to feel whole as a person
Checking in day 7
Going to enjoy the night with some friends at home
Hope you guys have a great new yearās eve night
Bye guys
