Hey everyone. Day 2 here. Slept in late today. Just feeling massive anxiety and stress. During this latest relapse I let some of my work slide and now Iām trying to play catch up. Making me feel like I am freaking out some, which in turn is making me feel a little down and depressed. Donāt want to do much, but I know I need to focus and get things done. Some days it can feel so hard. Donāt have the urge to drink today though, I still feel a little sick from the last binge. Going to try to get lots of water in me and to try and get out for a little sunshine. One day at a time.
@CATMANCAM thanks for the words. Iām glad this is such a great community to be a part of. I appreciate all the time you take to answer so many individuals on here.

Day 56.
These are the stones from all the Spanish avocados Iāve eaten from a box I ordered earlier this month. They were delicious.
The theatre was great last night and it was just a really nice time to spend with the kids. A really good sleep last night too.
Iām going to bake a cake this afternoon for when the kids return from school. Iām just looking up recipes now.
Have a good day!

Just starting over friend, we all have hiccups. Accepting a hiccup and realising the reason will help you.
Head up, you got it.

Hello everyone,
Iāve just came back from a walk. Jeez, I thought walking would be easier if Iām sober. Maybe I also need to get rid of some kilos.
I hope everbody has a nice, great or at least bearable time!

Morning Check In
Day 72
Got up early today and decided to hit the gym. Feeling good! Just on the recumbent bike for a bit and then have a pretty laid back day. Have to run 1 errand and work on this cake order for Friday. Feeling still a bit off from yesterday. But I am finding it easier to switch my thinking. Itās taken practice and Iām sure I have a long way to go still lol but I am finding it easier to notice my stinkin thinkin earlier on, and then to use the tools I have to change it. It has helped alot to prevent big cravings for drugs bcuz I donāt let that thinking eat at me and build up and get stronger. Now if I can only find the tools for binge eating. Cuz thatās been a problem for awhile and itās gotten worse since quitting drugs. ODAAT 
Hope everyone had an addiction free day!
Hugs to all

Happy birthday! Amazing transformation, well done.
My 40s has given me the kick up the bum I needed, but waited until after I turned 40 to do anything.

Hello all, realised I have been following and commenting but not actually checking in. Think I felt a little disappointed in my numbers after relapsing, but they are growing again. Day 19.
Still quite tired after Covid, but feeling quite happy and content with life. Only tomorrow to go and my working week is done, and then it is a Bank Holiday weekend.
Thank you all for checking in and keeping me focused
