Day 39! Feeling good. Noticed today I am excited and thankful to wake up each morning. Sober. Excited for the day ahead with the energy and positive mindset to enjoy. One of my meditation teachers said Life is a Wonderland of things to experience…you must wake up daily with hopeful expectation. Amen. Love it. Good day all. ,

Good to see you posting, I was thinking how you’ve managed Christmas time. Sorry for the relapse. May that remain just a one-timer.

Hello
I feel your story. As much members have already responded your not alone. Prayers for you.
I find NA meetings very helpful. I also have a Sponser and have started step work. They have virtual meetings all over the world 24 hours a day. Try one. It may help. It’s a spiritual program. Has been helping me tremendously. I’m doing 90 meetings in 90 days. Today is 33/90.
See you around.

100%. The further we get from our addiction, the more we start to appreciate things more, simple things like waking up every day. To be honest, i wake up and check talking sober right away. It helps me to keep things in perspective and appreciate where i am. Think about it: I’m at 42 days and i have to appreciate just 2 months ago how IMPOSSIBLE it felt to even get to 30 days, let alone 42 and beyond. I am literally swimming in my goals everyday. My addiction has no hold on me, which shoots my confidence through the roof. If i can overcome my addiction, yea, why can’t i excercise for 21 days straight? Why can’t i drop 50 lbs? Anything is possible!

Good morning beautiful people! If I’m honest I’m not doing well today, so much anxiety with this Covid shit in my house, as I’m starting to not feel well I’m just hoping it’s mental. I am fortunate that I have the tests here to test myself if I need to and I know a lot people can’t find them anywhere right now so I am trying to remain grateful for that. I hope everyone has a great day, I’m working really hard to make it through mine

Yes here it is…virtual-na.org/meetings.
If that doesn’t work just google virtual na meetings.
I usually go with my vibe as to which one to attend. My first meeting I found my Sponser. God is good. It was in North Carolina…yet I’m in Canada So is she. she lives 20.min. from me. Or I will check out somewhere I like to visit ie. California…Hawaii etc …you can keep your camera off and just listen until your ready to participate. Na is addictions of all kinds. I find the meetings very welcoming. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Just checking in. Yesterday was really hard. Struggling with depression is not easy and every day I feel so down. I’m trying to push through this week… one day at a time.

Those “one day at a times” will add up quickly. The online meetings will help tremendously with the aloneness you feel while in depression’s hold. Sending you a big hug.

Day 76. Girls are home jamming to tunes and taking baths. Last night I read this thing that said something that said proof addiction is a disease. So you have someone who is normal and doesn’t struggle with addiction, and you take someone who is using drugs and they die. The normal person says oh shit that must be poison and stays away. The addict says damn that must of been really good shit and wants some. I couldn’t help but giggle a little and say yup I’m definitely a addict bc that happens every day, even after seeing all my friends die and after almost dying several times myself I still want to go back to that shit. Some times anyways. Much love

Quick sober check in. Holidays are so much easier without trying to drink. I don’t miss the long wait for a hangover to go while wondering if a drink would lift it.

I like the idea of it too. I have a habit of thinking about weeks or months from now. This kinda makes it easier to realize it really is a one day at a time process. Keep checking in daily. The days will add up by themselves.

- Good Morning, I’ve been up since 6:30 with one of the twinkies whom doesn’t sleep ever it feels like. My office closes from 12/23-1/3 for the Holidays and it’s a great break from work life. But, it also flies right by. I’m hosting a NYE karaoke party for my nieces and nephews so me and the kids are getting ready for that. Aleena got a karaoke machine for Xmas from my parents. My older kids have played with it more then the littles
which I find hilarious.
@Dazercat I hope you’re doing better! Thoughts and prayers to you.
@CATMANCAM Tyler, I hope you are well my friend you have been heavy on my mind! Love and hugs

Day 565 clean and sober today. Got through a lot of the hard stuff and am looking forward to a new year ahead. Though my dreams have been weird I’m happy to say that the horrific nightmares have stopped, at least for the last two nights which is huge for me. I hope everyone has a fantastic day today, love you guys!!!
