Coffee. Workweek begins. Bleeh. I need another job. Well. At least I started looking for one, and at least I got my first interview in 6 years coming up in a couple of days. And some vacation after. And Iām sober and clean. And I got a roof over my head, coffee in my cup, and food on my plate, living in a country that lives in peace. It could be so much worse. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober. The alternative is death. Love from Amsterdam.

So I fell but honestly I woke up this morning and I though āyeah not for meā. It was nice seeing mum and chatting but she wasnāt fully in the conversation as she had her back to me while she played on the computer.
After a week of being productive and focused I can see the damage that just one evening of drinking can do to me.
Sessions like that donāt fit my goals and where I want to go so I need to accept that and move on or do nothing and nothing changes

Day 0
Hey peeps,
I have decided to take a break from smoking weed. It is not the first time and usually this forum provided me a lot of support in times of stress, anxiety and uncertainty. I have not usually participated actively by posting here, but have been more of a silent observer.
The reason being for taking a break is mainly because I realize that smoking joints is once again becoming my primary coping mechanism to deal with challenges in daily life. Due to the fact that Iām afraid that this habit becomes dysfunctional Iād rather take a step back for a longer period of time.
Iām grateful for having the possibility to use this forum a safety net. Thank you all you guys, good luck with your journey and have a nice day

Day 606
Husband at work, then going to his parentsā house after, so day alone with the kids. Actually a busy day of kidsā activities, so glad for curry, pasta sauce, etc in the freezer so cooking wasnāt too much of a chore. Still feel I was endlessly making snacks, washing dishes, and reminding kids to take said dishes to sink, put rubbish in bin, etc. Usual family stuff. Sometimes gets a bit irksome, but much to be grateful for really.

We must not take the first drink. Staying sober for me is life or death. So true what you have to say, both living in a peaceful country and our alternative for not staying sober is death.
