I’ve said it before, Dana; but that first few weeks/month is tough on our minds and body. You feel like it’s never gonna end but it will. I hope you know you’re doing amazing and a great addition here!

Thank u Donna… I needed to read this. I’m in such a funk right now. Not doing well mentally at all. My meds were doubled and I did take thr increased amount last night. Wondering if it was too much? Maybe that’s what is throwing me off. I might to tall to the dr again and return to my lower amount. That’s my only guess. I’m tired of this up n down rollercoaster of emotion

Checking in on 2 weeks sober 
I’m not gonna lie, I wanted to drink. It was on my mind. But I use this trick in early stage of sobriety that I tell myself over and over:
“Today you’re going to stay sober. Tomorrow you can get some booze”.
When tomorrow starts I repeat.
Every day.
Works for me.

Risky, but if it works it works right! Congrats on the two weeks! And every week those urges will dissipate a little more and more.

Mine was meal to meal. All I kept saying was make it to the next meal without a drink. I like food haha. So guess it’s all the same concept.

Checking in, it’s been a whole week without smoking! Theoretically I’m really happy for that but in fact I’m getting very irritable and moody. I don’t think it’s still withdrawal, I messed up my last shot, so probably it’s just my level dropping earlier. I’m not sure I could behave myself so I even canceled a meeting with a new friend on the weekend. I went for a walk into the forest, that always helps. I guess I will just work and walk a lot in the upcoming days.

It’s just been few rough moments so far… its not a rough day or a rough life. I have to watch my distorted thinking. I spent my time at the dollarstore today just looking around. Found a couple things that make me happy. I saw the little jar with the lace around it and fell in love with it. Then got some little fairy lights. Idk what it is but it they make me happy. I’ll be honest the 2 voices are at it today. The head and heart and playing games. My head wants to use (which is a lie) and my heart doesn’t want to. I really don’t know what has happened to make it get like this. My meds? Payday? Weather? Idk… realistically at this point it doesn’t matter why I am craving to use. But I won’t. Push thru today 10 min at a time. And then tmrw is a new day. Its okay

What is so beautiful about your post, is that you are loving yourself more and more each day - loving yourself that you want a nice haircut or some nice clothes to wear. In recovery we sometimes focus on the act of quitting our DOC, and forgetting how much self care is important to our healing. I hope you get the haircut, the new clothes, the nails, the facials etc etc. Your light is shinning, and you deserve it all.

Omg I’m in tears right now! In a good way. U seemed to have somehow brought something up for me. If I tear up at something I read, it’s hitting a cord with me. The whole piece of self love is something I want so badly but it hurts me to think how shitty I’ve treated myself. What I’ve allowed into my life that has hurt me and quite frankly, I have hurt myself more than really what anyone else has ever done. I am huge on the idea of an inner child and I know I’ve pushed her aside and kept her quite and didn’t give her what she needed for a long long time. I’m trying to communicate with her more.it really hurts me to think how little self love I used to have. I have a long way to go but today i am making changes to shoe myself love. Thank u for bringing this whole idea of self love up. Bcuz I think that’s what is hurting me the most to be honest
