389 days
Slept well this week (my app says so) and i am feeling less tired, due to not being sofa bound in evening and doing stuff, so the dark mood is evaporating thankfully…
Not had time to catch up on all the posts but congratulations for your milestones.
Have a strong 24 hrs all 
@apes2020 Congratulations on 9 months!

Thank you 
Lmao yes you were!!!
Day 587 clean and sober today. Wow the light show was amazing at Tool last night, simply beautiful with all of the colors they used to blend and group together along with awesome lasers. I did get pretty triggered last night to drink but I went with another person that was in recovery so I was ok. I hope everyone has a great day today, love you guys!!! 
Congrats on your days!!!
Although for me I had progressed to an all day everyday drinker I have heard that others are successful with filling that timeslot with another healthy “habit” . For example… if 4 pm is when you get home from work and would crack a bottle maybe drawing a nice bath and having herbal tea to relax instead every night at that time could fill that space.
Once the alcohol cravings were gone I notice a big demand from my brain for rituals. I was one that liked the ritual behind all my using. I replaced that with a French press, tea infuser, amazing fresh ground coffee and delicious loose leaf teas.
You can find ways to still satisfy your body without giving into your addiction.
I am so pleased to read how supportive your husband is. Amazing.
Wooohooooo April!!!
Well done, so exciting.
Awe thanks Paul!!! This made me laugh and smile!! I love how u put that tho… today is just another day 1. I have noticed the odd using thot lately cuz things are starting to slowly improve in my life and I guess my addict thinking has begun to forget how bad it was. BUT… I’ve been down this road before and I know that’s a lie. And I continually remind myself of WHY I quit.
Things are good in my life BECAUSE I’m not using 
thank u sooo much Paul for ur ongoing support!! Truly means alot
Thanks so much!!! 
Love these guys!!! They look sooo soft!
Hello checking in Day 169, a couple minor frustrations this morning but no big deal. JFT yesterday was not making mountains out of molehills soo… I won’t.
Really have to get online and fix my resume and apply for jobs. Outing myself here and promising you guys I will do it because keep procrastinating.
Love to all and keep up the good work those with 30 and 60 day milestones!

Checking in…
Substance free for 735 days.
Yesterday was a weird one!!!
It started off all wrong actually the last two days had. Tuesday I was able to pull myself back and “restart” my day with a meditation which seemed to work. Maybe I pulled myself back too much because yesterday I woke up thinking it was Tuesday! 
Never a good way to start a fully booked Wednesday. But… I managed. I was extremely anxious most of the day and caught myself innately using “box breathing” to keep myself out of crisis mode. Happy to say that none of my old means to escape unwanted feelings crossed my mind the only options that came to me were healthy ones.
I have earned that attaching pleasant feelings to healthy behavior before a crisis occurs is important so that those behaviors are on the forefront of my mind and attached to a feeling I want to achieve.
Congrats everyone on your recovery.
@CATMANCAM you are on my mind a lot.
Congratulations April WOW time flies!!!
They are - on bath day!
That’s really awesome good job Apes and the inspiration.
I just want to say thank you @Its_me_Stella (hopefully I did the at thing right???) you are amazing. You deserve so much honest love.
Congratulations on your 9 months, April!!! 
And on your new apartment! 
Day 545!
Sorry I’ve been MIA, well I’ve been here reading a lot just not posting much. Haven’t been feeling so well… 
Anyway, I decided I needed to put my rose colored glasses back on during yoga class yesterday. I suddenly realized how I feel about my life has everything to do on what I focus on, whether it be the good or the bad. So…I’m gonna try and focus on the good today. It takes practice and sometimes it doesn’t come as easily as other times! I hope you all have a great day! Congrats on all the milestones! So many lately super exciting! Congrats to @apes2020 on 9 months!! and the aaamazing @Girlinterrupted on 600 days! You girls are incredible. @Butterflymoonwoman congrats on 3 weeks! I love reading your posts, you are doing so well.
@Rockstar24777 glad you enjoyed your show! 
Checking out of day 1173 alcohol free and 19 days without diet coke. I am tired of caffeine. I am tired of being tired.
I am grateful to be sober, finishing my run although I have some problems with my right hamstrings. Blackroll
