172 days today. But off to a rough start to the day. Very down and angry. Maybe I should hold off on quitting chewing for a little longer. Day two of no tobacco.

Morning everyone!
Woke up feeling slightly better… yay! Going to jump back into my recovery stuff again. I haven’t done much honestly, no readings or prayer, no online mtgs, no exercise, anything. It’s getting to me 
Anyway, since I’m feeling abit better I thought I should get back at it before not doing these things become a habit. Hope everyone is well 
Have a great Wednesday!

that’s great, from what I hear it’s a really in depth program. What I was going to send you via WhatsApp was all the resentment, fear, harm and sex sheets to fill in via a pdf file which could be printed off but in hindsight it’it is probably best you do the NA version instead of mixing 2 programs. Obviously if you are interested I can still send them but sounds to me like your doing a good job anyway.
All I will advise is what conor said - Try and be as open and honest with yourself as possible at this point bc it’s an opportunity few people get, it’s a chance to get everything out there, talk about it and move forward. I’m so grateful I don’t have to carry my shit around with me all day now.
‘We don’t regret the past nor choose to close the door on it’ AA big book.
‘We jump vigorously into a course of action’ AA big book.
All the best my friend and enjoy the journey. Proud of you

Hey guys checking in day 565
I think I need to start checking in more regularly because it really helps. I’ve sunk into a depression. To the point where I don’t even want to get out of bed and I just want to cry all the time. I don’t even want to clean or shower or do anything. Yesterday I managed to do a work out and meditate but I was still in a bad mood. I came home and I just wanted to lay there the rest of the day.
I had this great idea to move away a few weeks ago. That had me excited. But the whole task became so daunting because it’s all on me. Right now I know I can’t fucking leave this place if I can’t get up and feel better. I just feel stuck right now.
But a few good things are happening! I’m actually flying across the country to see my mom next week so my daughter can be interviewed for the school I want her to go to when we move there. It starts in August. I’m slowly but surely getting this house ready to sell. Haven’t made much progress recently. Anyway,
Maybe visiting my mom will snap me out of this. Sorry for the sad post. Depression sucks. I need to eat healthier and get more sunlight or something.
I was going to delete this post because it’s so negative but I guess I won’t for now. Life is not always rainbows and butterflies and that’s okay.

Right there with you, sister. I am here if you want to talk. I guess nothing good comes from destroying ones self. Just more mess to clean up. 
Hang in there.

Checking in sober for 40 days and 2,5 days no cigarettes.
I feel well rested and satisfied today and I am grateful for being sober and hang-over free.
Congratulations to everyone who achieved a new milestone today! 
We don’t need any substances to get the best out of life. Life isn’t easy sometimes but without drugging and drinking its far more easier to face all the problems in life.
One day at a time! I got this!

@Clarity @anon74766472 Sarah and Franzi, thank you for checking in when you’re having a rough time. I’m sorry things are hard, but you’re here amongst people who care and can relate. In a selfish sense, it is an example for me to do the same when I am struggling and that isn’t easy to do. You two are stronger than you realize and it’s okay to not be okay. Sending hugs, amigas.

Day 51. I’ve been feeling depressed and self destructive which has made me tempted to drink. I was at the point where I was ready to throw everything away.
But, last night I decided to drive to an AA meeting rather than the liquor store. I actually made it inside this time. As some of you might know, I’ve driven to multiple meetings but have always lost my nerve. I finally did it and even though I felt uncomfortable, awkward, and out of place for the first 1/2, it’s true what they say. It is a very welcoming environment.
A few people really helped me get comfortable and we stayed and talked for a bit after. They gave me a schedule, some advice, and really made me feel welcomed. I will be going back again soon.
I feel good that I kept my sobriety and that I have found another layer of support and accountability. Anyways, thanks as always for support on here too

I’m so happy to read this Pica.
God Bless.
I know for a fact. God puts the right people in the right place at the right time. This is so great to read.
I felt a lot of depression off and on too when I was racking up some days. Especially when milestones were coming up. Keep learning and doing what you’re doing. We all need support and need to learn to ask for help. That was my hardest part.
