I definitly have been playing the tape. Everything I tell myself and everything I read on here is what is going thru my mind. Using never makes this better. It makes it worse. And I played the tape to how I’d feel the next day. And how disappointed I’d feel in myself. And I see the consequences of what could happen if I use. I could die! I mean realistically, who knows! And I thought about God and I played over the sayings that I say, speaking them out loud as I walked to the pizza place. I mean who cares if people think I’m crazy, I used to talk to myself all the time on meth… at least I’m talking out loud for a purpose now haha. I feel like I’m going insane! But my insane moment come and go now lol

Checking in on day 41 I haven’t been on daily but I’m not going to make that a habit, work has just been busy and I’ve been exhausted. I do however attend the online zoom meetings i found a NA one that’s 24/7 that I enjoy…. If anyone knows of anymore I’d love to know about them and attend … i think it’s time to find a sponsor and do some real work! Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe :heart:

Wow… huge huge hugs!!! Really… im so proud of you!!!

Jeez, I’m sorry this happened. I’m just now catching up on this thread after about a week. You’ve had a few days, haven’t you? Crossing my fingers for you on the new place!

Also I saw the post where your make up order came in, and girl you got some good stuff in! I love that Laura Mercier powder. Can’t live without it. Hope you’re feeling better from the other day.

I’m really proud of you, Dana. You did it again, you pushed through. I’m sure that sweet lady was put there by your HP to help you.
It’s really nice watching the progress you’re making.

Thank you Lisa :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I did do it! I’m sooo proud of myself. I’m exhausted but this type of exhaustion is nothing like the exhaustion of the next day after using. I’m grateful :pray:

You won the war today. Time to re-energize while you sleep and suit up again tomorrow.

Great fight Dana, see you are still a bad ass!!! No person I have ever met in my life has ever fought me as hard as my addict. We are eternal bad asses because we have to keep on top of this forever!!!

(I am really glad to see you doing the Big Book study too. )

7.7 days, back from relapse, :heavy_heart_exclamation::pray::heavy_heart_exclamation: I’m very fortunate to have had 8 months clean last year and have learnt some simple daily practises to keep my head in check :white_check_mark: :fist_right::fist_left::pray::fist_right::fist_left::pray::fist_right::fist_left:

#Day 1210 :seedling:
Checking in sober and my TS app is mentioning I missed 100 messages on this tread.
Just wow! :dizzy_face:
I’m not trying to catch up today, I let go. Not good at that though with my addictive brain :exploding_head:
Today’s priority?
*sobriaty
*groceries
*library
*fitting my weddingdress
*journaling
*wash my hair
And enjoying my day off so maybe go for a walk as well.


And as always a photo from one of my walks. This one I made yesterday.
Enjoy this day and make the best of it!
That’s my plan as well :wink:

Keep it up!

Checking in sober and hangover free.

Today I will stay sober and guilt free.

1 week caffeine and nicotine free. I have less anxiety and cravings for alcohol since I am not using those substances. I will continue not using them. I don’t need them, like I don’t need the poison called alcohol!

Have a nice sober day my friend!

:pray: :v: :blue_heart:

Did well today. Solid 9hr workday then mowed lawns and did some gardening in 32°C heat and would normally have a beer whilst doing that or afterwards but had a refreshing lemon drink instead today :slightly_smiling_face:

  1. Finishing my coffee. It’s back to work after nearly a week off. I don’t feel too bad about it. I can do with a bit of structure to my week. I like less that I had to do some studying for work right here, right now, at home, and that I don’t get paid for it. Seeing the amount I do get paid that’s just not fair I think.
    At least I do not give any money to stupid habits and addictions now. Never again. Just for today I’ll be sober and clean. Just like you all I hope. Have as good a week as you all can friends. Remaining clean and sober is part of that. Love from Amsterdam.

Good morning April! That’s such a good point you made there. Once you have experienced that ā€œclickā€ in your head, the rest will follow. I hope you find a new safe space, which suits your actual sober needs, soon! :house::pray:t2:
