Oh my gosh absolutely it is amazing. It hurts when you’re not use it. But if you ride it out do your deep breaths I’ll lay on it for 45 minutes some days. And it literally draws all the stress and tension right out of your back

I am actually able to get it treated, they just want me to pass two urine screens first. 
They were thinking that a big reason for me using is because it helps with my ADHD for a little bit until the negative effects start kicking my butt. 
So their thought process is if I get treated for my ADHD the urge to use will decrease. I still realize I am 100% an addict. I will be giving my mother (who is my next door neighbor) my script so that I will not run the risk of abusing the medication at any point.

70 days again. I been thinking today of the lockdown time and being drunk most if it, I had just surrendered (again!!) before lockdown, to face to face NA rooms and had 2 months clean time, but definitely not enough tools to deal with lockdown mentally…
Then thinking again, about surrendering last year to the online meetings, getting a sponsor, doing steps,and doing considerable clean time until December…
Usually that would be where I would depart the rooms and this app, for a few months to a year … Not this time. Fuck that old me. I choose growth, change, courage, and watching others in the same boat as me do the same. One day at a time, through mindfully connecting with life and not the obsessive thoughts.

@zzz maybe do not go to the party if there is pressure and expectation to drink. Be completely honest with your partner and ask for her support.
@Clarity have a lovely time

The visit with my new friend/potential new sponsor went well, we chatted loads and I had baby bunny cuddles and lots of kisses from her staffy 
but then her bf called to say he’d finished work early and was round the corner, it was clear from her response that she hadn’t told him I was going round, and I had a very bad experience of a similar situation when I was 14 where the partner of a friend got home and was totally not okay with me being there, so I left.
Therapy was really good yesterday.
Went to the Saturday meeting today, it was good, there were 5 of us this week.
Feeling much better in myself. Really want to try to get back to the gym and swimming soon though, it annoys me daily that I haven’t overcome this hurdle yet, it has been 8 months.
I hope you’re all having wonderful sober weekends

Sending courage to get to the pool! I do love a swim. Last time I went a man physically jumped when I got in the same lane and went to the next one 
. Foreigners are that scary! At least a group of little old ladies was friendly, but kept commenting how “massive” I was, I’m 5 ft 7

Day 173
My sleep has been great, my mood has been good.
Today isn’t even in itself great, nor is it bad, its just another day.
Another day SOBER that is!
Took a bit of time off to be lazy today after my morning routines then decided to begin the arduous task of cleaning up storage in my devices and fighting to format as well.
Will be time to hit the gym soon followed by dinner and bed.
It’s strange that I haven’t been fighting with sleep, it’s the first time in such a long time that it’s been this consistent without medication or stress or sleep aids.
Tomorrow I will spend walking around downtown, doing some shopping and getting out of the house probably accompanied with a good amount of Starbucks
I hope everyone enjoyed/is enjoying their saturday!
It’s been a beautiful and sunny day here in socal 
There was a knock at the door earlier that was identical to yours. Sadly, it was not you.
But I already knew that.
It was an unexpected visitor, nonetheless.

Day 9 here. I had some serious cravings today, but I am fighting them. On the plus side, my headache went away so that is a huge plus. I think I’m gonna watch some Supernatural and cuddle with my cats and stick it out.
