U knowā€¦ I really appreciate u saying that. I didnā€™t know to be honest that ALOT of people care. I do know 100% for sure that some care tho otherwise why would people help. Plus I have made some AMAZING friendships here and really think of you all like family :heartpulse: But even those that donā€™t reply or anything still care and I need to remember that im truly not aloneā€¦ whereas many times I do feel that way. My head plays games with me. I have been told numerous, numerous times that im alot to handle or I have alot of baggage. I am very open about things (sometimes too much lol) and am in reality a very sensitive person, whereas on the outside, I donā€™t always come across as that. I often feel like peope get a annoyed with me haha but again, I realize that isnt trueā€¦ and if it isā€¦ that feelung isnt mine to own. I just appreciate u for saying that! Hugs my friend! Thanks for this! I really hope u have an absolutely amazing day!

@Wakikki Wishing u a super quick recovery. Iā€™m so sorry for the test result. Take good care of urself
@anon53116147 Hey Mike, hoping ur well! Havenā€™t seen u check in latelyā€¦ but then again I may have missed it. Things have been busy. Just thot id see how u are? :slight_smile:
@Pat_m Hey Pat, try to do ur best not to compare ur addiction to others. At the end of the dayā€¦ drugs are drugsā€¦ period. And if weed is causing problems in ur life and u are having a hard time stopping it, then it is something to be addressed (which u are doing). Honestlyā€¦ back home I know many people who struggle with quitting weed. It may not be a ā€œhardā€ drug but in my opinion it is addictive in a sense and there are others on here also that I have seen here to quit weed too. Focus on u and ur recovery and do what is best for u.
@mno Yay!!! Congratulations!!! Super proud of you
@catmancam Hope ur well and everything is going smoothly in ur world
@dan531 way to go on 900 days!!! Omg wow :slight_smile:

Day 180

Been dealing with some nasty side pain. Started with heartburn. I think I need to chill on the spicy foods and the caffeine. I ate nothing but fruits yesterday.

Have a great day everyone!

Checking in on sobriety day 341. Got the kiddos off to school earlier. Enjoying a shoulder and core workout right now. After that Iā€™ll hit an AA meeting then get dinner going in the slow cooker. Then itā€™s time for the highlight of every Thursday - my sonā€™s track meet and daughterā€™s softball. Iā€™m 2 weeks into my 4 month work break between exiting military service and my next role in the civilian sector and enjoying every minute. Have a great day friends. Itā€™s a great day to be above ground and sober.

Day 59
Woke up at 5am this morning, relaxed for an hour and then went to the gym. Worked out and did some extra cardio.
Today is hubbys payday. Every 2 weeks Iā€™m always on guard and stay on my toes. I make sure to prepare myself and keep my emotions in check, just in case he hints at using. He hasnā€™t lately which is good. Itā€™s just if he has a stressful day at work, he may bring it up. So I take care of me really well, so that I have the increased inner strength to turn that idea away and not contemplate it.
Tmrw is also hubbys 48th bday. Excited for him and excited to spoil him :slight_smile: have decorations and cake and gifts planned for him. Plus also making it a clean and sober one!
Basically it is a relaxing day! Working on my dreamcatcher, hitting the dollarstore, and cleaning up!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
Hugs!!!

Yes, please check back if you need us. Today is day 15 for me after one reset since joining. I couldnā€™t have made it as far as I did the first time or this time without everyone here. Honestly last night was a tough one for meā€¦ I did not think I was going to make it but I remembered everything Iā€™ve read here and everything everyone has said and i held on and I knew that the feeling would pass even though I honestly thought I was going to scream with how strong the craving was. Honestly in the moment it felt like forever but it really didnā€™t last that long and I made it through. I was just going to do a regular check-in and then I saw your post and thought Iā€™d share it with you. I know you can do this! I really have to pay attention to my triggers and yesterday it was exhaustion anger and hunger all at onceā€¦ I didnā€™t realize it when I first started craving but when I took a moment to think about where I was in my headspace I started to deal with some of those feelings. The craving held on still a little bit longer but it doesnā€™t last forever- it never does. I canā€™t tell you how happy I am I woke up sober this morning.
