Day 27 here! In the mist of a snow storm 8 inches so far and still lightly snowing. So glad that I’m not worried about running out of wine! Will have a fire going soon and hunker down with a good movie!

Day 287 of no self harm. Feeling extremely anxious today for no real reason. I’m trying my best to keep busy.
The only person in my life who supports me is going to be unavailable for the next few days. It’s gonna be tough, but I’ve promised him already that I’ll be okay and I won’t harm myself in any way. I’m just going to have to keep busy and/or sleep a lot.
It’s going to be hard, but staying clean on my own with no support will at least prove to my friend and to myself that I’m capable of getting through the urge to relapse on my own.
It comes in waves, and the feeling always passes eventually. I just have to remember that

@Rockstar24777 Congratulations!
@AyBee Oh my goodness, quadruple digits! Fantastic!
@RosaCanDo Happy birthday! Glad u had a nice weekend.
@Butterflymoonwoman I am terribly jealous of people. I also hate it because I think it is such a small mean emotion. But u can’t help the emotions u have. And jealousy comes from fear of not being enough. So I accept the jealousy is there, work on my own self-esteem, and make sure my behavior, which I can control, is supportive and admiring.
@CATMANCAM I admire your fight to stay sober. Good luck with the surgery.
@apes2020 Yay, new home!

Hey everyone! Checking in on day 4! Despite my decent mood I slept very poorly last night. Couldn’t fall asleep for hours and the alarm came way too soon. But despite that, i actually didn’t need a nap today cause I was working through it. My mind wandered a little tonight and the cravings hit hard around 3. Decided I was going to rearrange some furniture to take my mind off things. Oddly changing the furniture also feels like it is giving me a new feel on life. It feels like it is a good step in the right direction. Maybe I’ll even shave to put myself even more on this new path! This new me! It’s been hard but I feel like I can do this.
Just wanted to share with this amazing community. Thank you to everyone for responding and for sharing your own stories. I wouldn’t be able to do this without all of you.
I wish you all the best!
