Day 5 AF and well into ticking Day 6 off the calendar too. Almost had a wobble by opening up a bottle of beer last night but withstood temptation and had a herbal tea instead.
The force remains strong with this Jedi Warriorā€¦
Keep going everyone

Iā€™ve just had a light bulb moment, ;incredibly I have only just worked out that a dehydrogenase is an enzyme, I basically thought the citric acid cycle was way more difficult than I now know what the f is going on with these curly arrows and how the next thing is converted from one to the other! !!.. Lol itā€™s very tough not knowing the fundamentals and learning above my pay grade :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:ā€¦ small steps and giant leaps :fist_right::fist_left:ā€¦ I think Iā€™ve finished my studying for the day,.:laughing:

Day 112. Pretty down today, little annoyed today would of been two years, idk why it still eats at me but it does. I accept it but still, I honestly wish I never would of went on the meds the doctor gave me, thats when I stopped working out and literally life seemed to just go down hill from then on and I fell into the deepest depression ever after getting on the meds and honestly havenā€™t been the same since taking them even tho Iā€™ve been off them forever. But there I go worrying about the shit I canā€™t control, canā€™t keep thinking about the past either only the presentā€¦ Little stressed bc my girls are out of insurance and I keep calling medicaid and all the other places and none have gotten back to me and itā€™s been weeks and Everytime I call I get no answer. Iā€™m sure things will work outā€¦much love

Just here at my new job feeling happy as hell. Plan now is to go for 9 months and my yellow keytag from NA.

Hello people, itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve checked in. Itā€™s taking me two days to catch up to reading all these posts on the thread. But anyways, after hitting 90 days, I was having a real tough time with cravings. And I have to admit, that I did a lot of fantasizing and a lot of lusting.

No, I did not use any porn. And I did not MB. So Iā€™m still sober and Iā€™m going to take it. I have slowly come out of this period of unclarity in my mind and Iā€™m in a better place now. But I sure was concerned. Iā€™m starting to see more benefits of sobriety. My marriage is improving. Our sex life is back. My ED is going away. My self-love is returning. My understanding of love and emotions are returning. My connection with God is being repaired. Yet, for a while I was contemplating throwing it All away for something that has no value and benefit whatsoever. Iā€™m glad I didnā€™t.

So hereā€™s to a hundred days. And 22 minutes, my counter will read day 101.

Itā€™s great to see everyone here doing so well. Now Iā€™m off to do my workout. Have an awesome sober Thursday everyone.
