Thank Lisa…it was a huge test. I just wanted to say f it…then I looked at my kids and reminded myself what I’m fighting for…and you are right I pray for him. I even love h but I get so caught up I have to let him go and pray he gets the help he needs.

Hi Mno
I am proud of me thank you for your support I really appreciate it. Trying to stay in the light…not go back to those dark places you and the other supportive friends here help tremendously. Connection not isolation. 
. I am worth it.

291 days of no self harm. I’m okay today. I had a pretty bad panic attack because my 13 year old sister got lost in the cold and her phone died. She ended up having to go into a strangers house and ask to use their phone. She was supposed to be with her friend, but her friend ditched her so she was on a totally sketchy side of town she’s unfamiliar with. Luckily the house she went into had nice people and nothing happened to her. It was just terrifying for the both of us.
I love her so much and I’ve practically been forced to raise her. She isn’t a fan of me but I love her to death.
Other than that nothing eventful. Going to the library tomorrow to get my school stuff done for the week

Day 115. Yeah it’s wild it’s only been a few days that I kind of layed low on here and how fast that addict brain takes over when doing so. This community really is a great thing for my sobriety, finally finished up a tattoo for one of my clients and she was happy and loved it. It’s funny im glad she liked it, but for some reason I worry about if others are gonna like it, which I shouldn’t if the client is happy then thats all the matters. Man I can feel how good it feels after tattooing my soul feels full after and honestly I think that it’s a trigger when I’m not tattooing and ppl don’t message me for a tattoo my soul starts to feel empty and like I suck and I’ll never be a good tattoo artist. But really I need to just let it flow and let it come naturally, I really do love it and think about it everyday still. I feel if I keep sober and work my recovery I will become an amazing artist. It still feels right so I hope that is truth. I’m glad to still be sober and plucking away and so grateful for my beautiful girls. Much love everyone

- Coffee. New (working) week. Busy night dream wise. I’m not bad. I’m sober and clean. The grape hyacinths help me remind spring is on the way. Just as long as we all keep going one day at a time we’ll get there. Have as good a week as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Love from my window sill.

Congrats on everyone’s sober time! Some inspiring numbers and some relatable ones. I don’t often comment on individual posts but I’m enjoying reading and following others progress.
I’m 40 days AF.
Still dealing with MH issues, wake with dread every morning but start to relax late arvo and usually go to bed optimistic. It’s strange considering that would normally be drinking time and it’s when I feel most at ease sober

Good to see this post, Mike. Gotta enjoy the good days amongst all the gloomy ones. Don’t forget that it is also February, a tough month for many. It’s good to have Spring right around the corner. Keep fighting the good fight!

Day 64 check in yesterday I got a call from my big brother best friend for over 20 years which makes him my big brother too he’s family telling me he heard what I’m up too and is proud of me also “I’m inspiring him” it’s real when people notice you’re not around no more and they hit you up not to hang out but to tell you “keep up the good work” I’m blessed with good family and friends and I’ve been this whole time. I hope everyone has a great week and remain Positive. Peace and take care

…1417. Ms. Monkey is getting prepped for knee surgery. She is so chill inside and out about it…and I am a big ball of nerves. TS and the Big Book will be with me in the waiting room.

Checking in, 458 days no alcohol. I’m feeling quite well at the moment, probably because I had my shot in the morning, but anyways it’s good to be a bit more balanced. My last few weeks were pretty rough, I was surprised how easily I could slip back to the hopeless, depressed state I used to be in.
I went for a holiday for a few days which I haven’t done for ages, spent some time with my family and also spent some time alone during the evening walks, I needed that to arrange my thoughts.
