This journey we are on together fills me with life, every day. When I came into recovery I couldnā€™t feel anything and then that started changing. I began being able to feel but not knowing exactly what it was I was feeling. Little do you know that over the last two years you have been helping me learn to associate sensations in my body, to feelings and then name those feelings and attach words to them. Little do you know that over the last two years as I have sat in another province, in the same country, I have been praying and rooting for you every day. All those times you would disappear on us I would wish you the strength to come back, I have always had faith in you. Look at youā€¦ :slight_smile: ā€¦ youā€™re doing it.
Congrats on your 30 consecutive-fucking-days of clean time!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOFOS!!!

Congratulations on 12 days. Glad youā€™re here.

Oh wowā€¦
I donā€™t know what to sayā€¦ I didnā€™t know that. Sometimes I donā€™t even know what I say to people and sometimes I question if I say too much or not enough. I love you my friend. I really do. U are an incredible woman and have been around and supported me during some of my toughest times and where there to support me during the mornings after some of my past relapses when Iā€™d be so down on myself and mentally and emotionally not well.I Thank you!!! Really :slight_smile:
And thank you for my key tag. I havenā€™t gotten one of these in ages! It brought a real big smile to my face. Thank u for thinking of me and wishing me the best all those times Iā€™d disappear. That means alot!! Thanks @Its_me_Stella :purple_heart: Luv u!

Checking in, day 495 no alcohol, day 5 no cigarettes. I keep falling asleep during the day and go to bed early. Better than smoking outside in the cold for sure. Maybe itā€™s a defense mechanism or maybe Iā€™m just tired. Iā€™m still getting overwhelmed by a lot of things and feel lost, but I do hope it gets better little by little.

Iā€™m sorry to hear about your son. So hard to see our kids struggle. I wish you all the best and hope you get the answers, help and support you both need. I donā€™t know a lot about TMS therapy, but I hope it can help :heart: good luck to you bothā€‹:pray:

@Becsta I hope things go well for your eldest son with the TMS :pray:t2: Iā€™ve just had a read about it and itā€™s definitely something I would consider, thanks for sharing. I also had the best chats with the looked after teenagers I worked with when in the car :blush:
@ShadowFax thank you so much, Iā€™m proud of you too :blue_heart:
@LeeHawk thank you, that is reassuring. Iā€™m hoping once I have seen and spoken to him for the first time since the ā€˜break-upā€™, that my mind will stop making a massive thing about it, because logically, I know it wasnā€™t on majorly bad terms, his way just was having a detrimental effect on me, and he called my feelings bs and said that me disclosing that I felt suicidal ā€˜was not idealā€™. It does make me a bit sick that I trusted him with my feelings, and some of the things I disclosed, but ultimately I didnā€™t feel supported so it wasnā€™t going to work out. Iā€™m sorry you had to change sponsors too, itā€™s comforting to know that it does happen sometimes, did it make you weary of committing to a new one? Thatā€™s what Iā€™m struggling with atm, a fear of it all going wrong again and ruining a potential friendship :grimacing:
@Butterflymoonwoman Aww thank you :blush: :blue_heart: Congrats on your month, you have put a lot of work into this and Iā€™m really proud of you :clap:t2: :tada:
@Lorelai thank you :blush: :blue_heart:
@GOKU2019 congrats on 5 months :tada:
@paper_boats sending strength :blue_heart:
@Caite1025 congrats on double digits :tada:
@Tomek I struggled with fatigue one of the times I quit nicotine too, I will be doing so again in the next couple of days, so thank you for the reminder. I hope it gets better soon for you too, sending strength :blue_heart:

583 days no alcohol.
48 days no cocaine.
25 days no binge-eating.

Had my hand tattoo consultation today, the artist doesnā€™t want to do it how I wanted it, even though I tried to insist twice. Iā€™ve msged him since the consultation to ask for a photo of the design once heā€™s had chance to do one, so that I can visualize it in my mind how itā€™s going to look if he does it his way, I do trust him, heā€™s been doing my tattoos since 2008, but I had a very clear image of what I wanted. Iā€™ve also sent him another idea to consider if he thinks it would work better with the colours I want. I am also going to get another tattoo on the back of my neck on the same day, both are booked for the 26th as he had a cancellation, so not long to wait :grinning: While I was at the shop I also got both of my eyebrows pierced. I will stop with the face piercings now, I have 7 in total.

Felt a little unsteady this afternoon, didnā€™t know what to do with myself, and I was experiencing suicidal ideation, I managed to make myself nap for 45mins and have felt loads better since, I had been awake since 4am, whereas usually I go back to sleep after Iā€™ve taken my morning meds, so on this occasion I think it was just tiredness.

I have been struggling with strong binge urges since my Testosterone shot on Friday, but have managed to stay strong so far.

My friend who has been in hospital is now home on bed rest, whilst he awaitis his MRI and lumbar puncture results to be reviewed by the specialist neurology hospital, so I will be visiting him tomorrow.

Then Friday is therapy day and Iā€™m looking forward to that.

I think the fatigue is part of withdrawal. Iā€™m sure it will get better! Youā€™re doing great!!

You know youā€™ll feel worse if you do. Think of all the other times you made it past a craving. Every time you do you get stronger. Thereā€™s got to be something else you can do, just for this moment. Go for a walk? Get out of the house if you can. Make a tea, read a book, do a puzzleā€¦ Scroll through the memesā€¦ Just get past this moment. You canā¤ļø let us know how you areā€¦
