Delighted to hear this, my friend. Everyone else here knew it was never in doubt, but it’s impossible to be so confident when you’re at the centre of it. Fantastic news. Your job is such an important part of your life, and doing something you enjoy or that you are well suited to is priceless. Love it.

Day 5
Good morning beautiful peeps,
I didn’t post here for the last 2 days because have been pretty occupied. I try to socialize and work on tasks as much possible which is very handy when you’re a student. Currently I’m working on my bachelor thesis which requires a lot of literature review and therfore a lot of time.
Due to the circumstances I haven’t had time to think about my addiction, although I’m still not sure why I’m taking a break. I’m starting to enjoy being sober even if there are no external reasons to be in that state, but that’s probably also the key to being sober, i.e. being sober for the sake of it and trying to internalise those thoughts.
In that sense I wish all a good day and take care

Chatting with french addicts on facebook, it’s always about alcohol or hard drugs. I saw a french documentary on TV last night about addictions it was all about alcohol and hard drugs. Sometimes I feel stupid, weak and irrelevant for being addicted mainly to marijuana, which is supposed to be a fun drug.
Anyway this community is the best. Thanks to you all

Addiction is addiction. End of. When I started out working addiction care over here (20 years ago), I learned that marijuana only was “mentally addictive”, not physically. Also there hadn’t been one single clinical admission for it, no detox, no rehab, nothing. Professionals didn’t see the need back then.
Things and views have changed quite dramatically since then. Addiction to weed is taken a lot more serious now, including people clinically detoxing and rehabbing from it. In numbers. it’s no joke. I’m glad you feel taken seriously here Pat. Because it is serious sh*t.
As a side note, it’s one of the things I appreciate in NA. Nobody is to mention their particular DOC, as to avoid talk like ‘my addiction is better than yours’. In the end I like it better here though, where we can talk about all addictions and not feel judged for whatever they are.

Heading into Easter long weekend, I’ve been back and forth on buying some drinks but reminded myself it’s just one holiday and to be honest with myself. I don’t want to be hungover tomorrow.
So I have a soft drink and watching paw patrol the movie with the young one, I think I can recite this now…

Checking in, 105 days.
Been feeling very tired since monday, like not as I have been before, and at work I really felt I did not keep up like normal, had to take much more breaks than normal.
Waking this morning I had headaches and feeling heavy, ohh well: get up, take paracet and get ready for work. Did not help, felt worse.
So I took a Covid test just to have done it. POSITIV! I was sure I was imun since I had not got it all this time.
I feel like a trainwreck. My body is in such pain, all over, chest everything.

Just like alcohol. Sex. Shopping. Pills. Uppers. Gaming.
Should I go on listing things we can be addictive to that are supposed to be fun ?

Congratulations @Mno Wonderful news and fully deserved.
@SadMemeQueen I hope you are OK. Sorry it is all so hard. Keep coming and sharing.
@Wakikki sorry about the positive test. Take really good care of yourself. I have also got it (positive on Tuesday) after 2 years avoiding even when in the house. Feel rough but am not getting worse. People keep telling me to rest which is good advice. You can’t do much just help your body by giving it fluids and rest.
Checking in on Day 6. Still feeling rough so sorry for all the updates I have missed. Just sitting here staring at the screen, think that was my energy allowance for the hour used in typing 
Have a goof day all.
Oh and @Misokatsu I now have We don’t talk about Bruno stuck in my head

Looking forward to 4 days off work tbh. My body is just aching in so many places. Going for a drive in the countryside tomorrow for a picnic and catching up with family Easter Sunday. Feeling so happy about my sobriety.
