Love the progress that is happening in ur recovery right now! U sound like a totally different person! Love it :).
Wooohooo Congrats on 90 days!!!
Thanks for your support and thoughts Mike, @CATMANCAM @ALC227 and @Seb
Super grateful to be sober and present.
Perhaps not so super grateful to be a non smoker but one day that mindset will change Iâm sure
Treating mental illness is such an uphill battle hey Seb, esp with teens or young adults, professional supports availability and accessibilty leave alot to be desired
Awe Bec,
My heart is aching, I know that feeling so well of just wanting your child to feel ok. My daughters mental health is always on the forefront of my mind, I watch her struggle so much and its awful. I wish I had the secret answerâŚ
Youâre an amazing mom and youâre doing the beast for all the kids by taking such good care of yourself.
Big hugs.
Well, after 314 days, I relapsed
314 days is amazing. You can do it again⌠And even more. I hope you can forgive yourself and become even stronger nowâĽď¸
This does not mean you have failed
430 days
Congratulations on all your milestones, lots of hard work and determination to reach your goals.
I have been hooked to the news, and think the emotions of sadness, fear and anger are intense. What a world we live in.
Have a safe, and strong 24 hours all
Day 162 checking in
Checking in on day 2 after thousands of starts and stops. I have not lost the desire to quit for good and live a healthier life. I am here with all of you committing to my sobriety for the next 24 hours. Reading âQuit like a Womanâ and it is strikIng a chord. Iâm not going to give up.
Day 60⌠Itâs coming up to a year when I surrendered and did whatever I could to STAY sober, I did online na meetings, I found a sponsor from a meeting with a list of sponsors and I got in contact with about 5, most messaged back to day âyou need to choose your sponsor carefullyâ,one called me back when I was still feeling desperate to say sheâd be my temporary sponsor for two weeks, I relapsed in that 2 weeks,scared she wouldnât sponsor me anymore,well she sponsored me harder,I started the steps with her and stayed clean for 260 days, I picked up over Christmas and started again,still with my sponsor, still doing the steps, still SoberâŚthe difference now to 20 years of trying to stay clean (which I have not longer than a few weeks) is I have a sponsor whose there for me, I have na meetings to hear powerful shares, I am doing the steps to help me understand LIFE! not forgetting the connection thatâs growing to the higher powerful invisible thread that guides us in out daily journeys.
We do recover
Right with ya on 60 days
- Coffee. The sun is back. And so is having to work a late shift. Well alright. Iâm alive. I slept close to 8 hours. Thereâs peace in my town and my country. I do what I can to live a better life, and try to help some others in the process too. Sober and clean. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you can all. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love.
@Becsta Sorry Becca. Must be the hardest thing. Hugs.
@Peace Glad to see you Jen. One day at a time as for all of us. x
@Hopeful777 I canât watch too much or Iâd go mad but I get my dose of it.
@Lynnie6191 Right on Laurie! Congrats & keep going!
@CATMANCAM Happy about your progress friend. Doing good.
@seb Hope youâre feeling better Sebastian.
@ShadowFax Gefeliciteerd Roland. Ga zo door.
@Hazy Big congrats on 60 days!
Day 162
Today was a good day despite the nightmares affecting my sleep. I was originally writing an extensive post but it needs editing for triggers.
Checking in late but better than never.
Another day is in the books.
I am going to have to restrict myself but then I think of their suffering harsh cruel world .
Iâm so sorry to read this and sorry it happened to you. I will keep my thoughts on what your family put you through to myself as it would turn the air blue. Power to you, keep going sweetie.
Pick yourself up, dust your self down and put YOU first again. I want to see you thrive, keep going
Hi Jen, Holly Whitaker started an online sobriety forum with zoom meetings called The Tempest. I didnât join that one, but Iâve heard great things about their meetings online and community forum. It may be helpful if you resonate with her book. Glad to see you back.
Thanks! Yes I was just looking into that. Iâm going to give it a try.
Thank you Sebastian. Appreciate the support.
