This is day 7 for me and Iāve just got back from my second fellowship meeting. I now have four new phone numbers from other attendees. Such a welcoming experience. Iām now going to listen to a guided meditation and maybe even have a nap as my sleep was a bit interrupted last night.

Hello Kat here checking in on Day 217.
Had business meeting at my homegroup yesterday. Signed up to chair a meeting at end of month though was unable to take GSR position due to work commitments.
Some comments poo-pooing counting clean days one by one though they seem to be happy to count months and yearsā¦ I donāt agree I am counting my days this time round and it has made all the difference, that and posting here. Each and every day is a victory and reason to celebrate and Iām going to keep on counting them! Next milestone is 365! Aug 3 God willing.
Well break done gotta get back to work hope you all have a great clean and sober 24 hours!
Love Kat

Day 3.
Still kicking myself for my last relapse, but I remember a quote āyou may have failed, but you tried. Now try again knowing your failureā. I removed triggers this go around that I have control over. Iām lucky as I donāt get withdrawals or cravings. For me itās always been a trigger. Some I can remove, and some I canāt, but the more that I can remove the less compounding effect the others will have.

u have such a positive attitude! And thank u for the reminder that all I can do is change me and how I react to the world around around me and for the reminder to help when and where I canā¦ thinking of what I can do for others and what I can pack into the stream of life. Hope ur day is a good one!

@lotusflower Tank u for sharing SAIN! I will be adding this to my āskills boxā. Where is this from? Itās a good one! Iām going to get reconnected today with yoga. Iāve been doing meditation but thereās something about yoga and using ur body that makes it incredible!

@Charlie_C its soo funny u mentioned that about wondering if itās a āhuman thingā lmao Literally I ask myself this like once a day 
. I donāt even know Iād whatās going on is ānormalā or not, or if itās a āhuman thingā (as u put it lol). Either way, it is what is it and we are experiencing what we experiencing. Proud of you Charlie for your 480 days sober! Keep at it my friend!

Morning check in
DAY23
Woke up today with no crazy dreams. Itās a nice way to wake up lol Currently listening to a mantra song on repeat lol Har Mukandayā¦ its a mantra that is used to free the self from what is holding you back, overcome obstacles, and move forward. Itās an incredible song thats on the Insight Timer.
I have things to do today but itās all indoors and I can plan my day without being overly stressed.
Things I need to change: Connecting to my HP 1st thing (instead of waiting until 2pm to do it. Cuz God gives me the defense, armor, and strength that I need against using drugsā¦ plus I also feel like itās a respect thing. God gives me so much. God has guided me to 23 days clean, which is nothing short of a miracle for me. The least I can do is give God the time in the mornings to connect and build our relationship). I need exercise to create more balance in lifeā¦ this area is lacking. And I need more breathework and meditation 
Hope u are all well! Grateful for u all

Checking in on day sobriety 305. For those following my journey, I got a call back after yesterdayās final interview round with an offer that ensures 16 days after I retire from the Army I will have a salaried role with full benefits that EXCEEDS my current total compensation in the military. There is no way I would have been able to navigate my way into this role when I was in active alcoholism. Stay the course friends. Itās a great day to be above ground and sober.

Day 146 hey everyone called about treadmill and they said next week like wtf man idk I geuss its out of my control, maybe god is waiting for me to be in better spirits so Iāll be excited about it lol.Girls are home so will figure something out with them i was a idiot and bought pre workout yesterday so I went four days again. And I noticed before the pre workout my mood was getting better from being off it, but bc my mood pics up my brain gets excited and instantly thinks about carrying the fun on and said well ur treadmill is supposed to come today youāll need it to run. So I went got it, instantly abused it, instants heart burn twitchy and jittery feeling loss of focus and anxiety went threw the roof. My body hates it and then I notice I start getting crazy sexual thoughts off it and instantly want to start finding ways to release so Iāll almost start searching for girls to message and try to hook up, but Iām at least able to catch myself bc I know itās wrong and dumb and piggish. I hate even admitting that I have those thoughts. But itās all obviously stuff I need to work on well I got it out and will continue to be the best I can. I feel very unattractive lately I wonāt even take selfies anymoreā¦ when I got sober last year I was so photogenic and happy. Not sure where the spark and love for myself went

Today I was reminded not to sweat the small stuff. I was having a crazy busy morning and getting ready to teach three classes back to back without a break and hadnāt gotten anything prepared or even eaten yet and I was feeling really stressed but I was trying to keep it together. Wednesday morning 9:00 a.m. is my smallest class and as I opened the meeting I realized it was 9:01 and no one was there, 9:05 no one was there 9:10, no one was there. I checked in with everyoneā¦ Someone was skiing someone ,was coming back from Hawaii, someone was flying to LA, someone hired a new housekeeper and had to show them aroundā¦ like seriously nobody showed up! Iām so glad I didnāt let myself get more stressed for no reason at all, because now I have time for myself until my 10:00 class and I canāt believe things work out this way.
