Checking in 57days. My mind wanted to drink wine today, I did not. I played the tape in my head and I did not drink today. Had my MRI, halfway through it I felt my anxiety built up, omg it got worse and worse. My heart ran wild, my chest hurt bad, so of course I had a heartattack, well thats what my mind told me. I kept telling my self its anxiety and pushed through it, and then the lady talked to me asked if I was OK, well I feel a bit stressed I said. Yeah I can tell she answerd, some of the pictures was not good enough, can you hold on for a bit more? Ohh c’mon :see_no_evil: But I did. Now I have headaches. And I have to wait for results, about a week. It makes me stressed and anxeous. But at least its done, and I hope the results are not bad news.

Hope you all have a great day and a best, sober weekend :smiley:

9 months clean from Crystal Meth, 12 months from daily xanax use.

Haven’t been on here that much recently. I don’t feel like I can post my true thoughts as some people are so quick to judge, Not many people but enough to put me off, and I know people only mean well. Will try again anyway. Wishing everyone positive vibes in their recovery

Day 90
I look back on my old life with clarity as I move forward in this next 24 hours. I say it all the time, sobriety is t measured by the number of day it is measured in your actions taken each day not to drink/use.

For the first time in a long time I feel in a good place, mentally, physically and emotionally.

I struggled and last year I thought I was ok, it isn’t until I started this journey, accepting my demons and addressing them positively and without shame that I have really started to understand myself. Understand my issues, understand my surroundings, understand my feelings. I know what I have to do to live my life to the fullest, to succeed, to stand and fight this fight.

I hope each and everyone of you have a successful 24 hours and a happy and healthy future!

…1435…10 hours of work done…got home and snowblower the drive way…little pissed off…Ms. Monkey cant do it because of her knee surgery…but her 19 year old son was home all day. Came out with a shovel, literally 30 seconds from me finishing…seriously dude! Grow up. Vent over…

Now the sobriety lesson…as an active alcoholic…probably would have chewed the kids ass as soon as I stepped in the door…now…changed my clothes, went outside…and thanked him when he came out. Nothing I would say to him would sink in…so why get my heart rate up over the stress of it.

Checking in
Day 11
Funny how in my morning check in, I spoke about how neither of us (hubby or I), has even mentioned using or even slightly hinted at it. Yet about a couple hours ago, hubby did hint at it. I acted like it didn’t even phase me (even tho I caught the hint). He left to shop for a work backpack. While he was out, I did my Glorify app and prayed. Reminded myself of my powerlessness to my addictions and then gave it all to my HP. He came home. His vibe was off. Abit grouchy. I knew full well what was going on. I just didn’t speak about using or ask too many questions about why he seems off. Cuz if I bring stuff up, then there’s an opportunity for the topic of drugs to be brought up. Better to not feed into it. If he has a craving, that’s on him to work thru in a sense. But I can help (without him even knowing it :wink:). I asked him if there were any new free Playstation Plus games out for Feb. Just to give him something to do to distract himself and take his mind off of it. He jumped on the idea and now he’s playing COD with his friends online :slight_smile: I’m gonna work on my dreamcatcher and eat cheesecake icecream. So far so good. Oh and a slight piss off is that my meds are now not in until Monday! Grrr. Oh well. Can’t do anything about it lol

Hello all, checking in at 15 minutes from 20 days. So proud of myself :blush:

It is my husband’s birthday so lots of potential weak moments but I have just had a lovely day, with far too much food, but not wine. I am totally present and about to go to bed knowing I was the best version of myself today.

Looking forward to continuing this weekend. The sunshine has finally arrived and makes it feel like spring.

Well done to everyone for all of the progress I have seen in this thread, amazing work and so inspiring!
