Morning all, checking in after my holiday and a reset. I made it to Day 60, but did have a drink on holiday. Now on Day 3. Not really known how to post about it as I don’t know exactly how I feel about it, still processing. I had a couple of glasses, stopped and then didn’t have another one the next day. So now I don’t know what I am feeling, but no plans to drink again. Poured the rest of the bottle away as neither Mum or I wanted to take it away.

Congrats on 820 days- this is super inspiring :relaxed:
Good luck with your new job. Knee injuries are no joke, I hurt mine at work a few years ago and it took me more than 12 months to recover. You don’t realise how much movement and dependence you have on a major joint like that until you go and injure it!
Take it easy, sounds like your ready to work hard and take on whatever life throws at you :clap::clap::two_hearts:

:scream::scream::scream: 12 months :dizzy_face: I’m certsinly worried I might take longer than anticipated to heal. Luckily nothings broken. And yes, I nees my knee!! When it intially happen I had to hop for the first 2 days or so, having that temporary disability put things into perspective and depressed me a bit. My physical therapist suspects that it’s some nerve damage going on, maybe some tearing as well. I’m certainly gonna take it easy though, I can’t afford to do furthur damage. Thank you though, and much success on your journey!!

Dogs are just the best. We are so blessed to have little fury amigos. I hope when the time is right you can find a new little friend.
My ideal life would be like that guy that has a property and like 100 dogs on YouTube and they just run around and swim and hike and do zoomies.
That’d be the dream ahah :dog2:

Yeah knees are a bigger. I think cause mine was the meniscal muscle, like inside the joint, I felt like it was ok, and then I’d twist a certain way or put pressure on it wrong and it’d irritate it.
Like you said, just let yourself heal, don’t push it too fast or it will just take longer.

Hello TS friends…I have missed you all and missed my check-in’s!
Thankful you are all here taking it ODAAT and finding grace for yourselves🙏🏽

My youngest has COVID so I’ve been exculsively nursing him. Yesterday was a big improvement…the first two days were very hard for him he had a lot of symptoms. Trying not to feel bad as he was the only child I choose not to vacinate.

Prayer and journaling have been big sources of strength.

Strong Serene 24 all.

Day 2

Haloah guys,

during the night I had mild withdrawal symptoms i. e. sweating which I noticed when I went to the bathroom. However, in the morning I was completely try so that’s nice. Having a bit of a headache and feel tired. Nonetheless, I cleaned up the place and I’m gong to so some groceries.

I did not find a way to replace the reward of having a smoke in the evening after finishing my duties yet. The urge to smoke is the biggest when I succeed managing my daily challenges. F. e. today I got my results for my last exam, which were much better then expected, and my first thought was to visit a coffee shop and get some weed. It seems that understanding and accepting the underlying thought patterns behind my desire will be the main goal of my journey.

I’m going to do some grocery shopping now. I wish you all a nice day. Take care folks :slight_smile:

Those are the days sober from all drugs and alcohol from a person who spent years who couldn’t get 1 day sober and wanted to be dead.

Please don’t give up trying because I can promise you it does get easier.

If your going to pick up today. DM me. You are not alone.

71 days strong :heart:

It feels so good to live my daily life without worrying about Alcohol or drugs.

I use to base everything in my life around Drinking and using. It would determine how my day went & how my bank account was. I worked my life around drinking and using for way to long , when I thought I was living my life to the fullest also thought I was taking away my depression and anxiety. I thought drinking and using made me happy and fun. Turns out I wasn’t living at all , not even close, my life and world was turned upside down, I was defensive , angry , created problems and situations that I now look back at and realize could have been handled so much better and calmer. I realize how much alcohol and using ruined my life for so long.

The amount of money spent weekly , monthly on alcohol and drugs is disgusting, I was constantly broke. Now instead of wasting money on that nonsense , I am able to get my children and myself everything we need , with still having money left over in my bank , I don’t struggle anymore , I’m happy and living my life the way one should.

I thank my lucky
Stars every Damn day for the progress I make and the further I get the happier I am.

Here’s too another 24 hours my lovely people :v:t2::heart:
