Well done for getting this far, these are the hardest days and youāre doing so well. You should be proud.
I found even just getting outside for a walk/swim to distract myself and kill time helped. Mind you, on day 6 I think I just sulked and put myself to bed I was feeling that lousy.
Do whatever you can, itās only going to feel better with time!

Hi Kat here checking in on Day 257 free from meth pills and 4 days free of nail-biting.
I have put my hands to my mouth a couple times but always think right away that Iām not nail-biting any more and take them away. @Butterflymoonwoman suggested some of the paint-on deterrent stuff so I ordered a European brand and it should be delivered this week for some extra reinforcement.
Has been a busy weekend with my 3 youngest over but hitting an in-person NA meeting tonight as usual.
Hope you all have a great sober day!

Thank you @Miranda and @Tito23
Day 627 and I am in a bit of a better place today. Ate a bit more Easter sweets than I shouldāve but stopped myself before I went too crazy or made myself sick. Trying to not burn myself out while finishing up my work week but itās a tough balance. My coworker (who is one of my best friends) has been having a really hard time and Iāve been trying to be supportive of her today and talk through stuff. She woke up today to a bunch of missed calls from her father who is an alcoholic and relapsed last night after 9 months sober. He ended up in the hospital and they told him if he doesnāt get sober heāll be lucky if he lives another month. Their family is going to try for an intervention this week. Seeing her go through this makes me even more grateful for my sobriety than ever. To see her pain on the other side and know that I am taking actions to make sure I never put my friends and family through that. Itās heartbreaking to see how much she wants to help him and I am proud of her strength in setting boundaries with him and prioritizing her own well being in the situation. I am so grateful for all of you and the many perspectives within this community and resources that help me to help her and be there for her through this.

Checking in Day 666 
@DeadMist sorry I stole your thunder, she knows I donāt keep track and I was super stoked for this. So I kept up this week
Day of work like every day but a big break coming soon, I canāt wait.
Got a new desk to put my shit together better instead of the tangled mess I have,
Car shopping kinda, too indecisive, want a jeep, but donāt want car payments, so thatās part of my deciding factor
And other than that just another sober day

An extremely low day.
I am so sad. Tooth hurts. A mess.
Would be so easy to use
My roommate left a couple roaches on the porch which would 100% do the job
I hear them talking in the next room.
Havent been this consistently tempted for a long period in a while.
Ignoring a beautiful day, so so sad.

Hey i like the way you wrote this. You captured how hard it can be.
Ive kept myself home before and it helps. Its a whole choice to drink from my roommates stash (accepted to an extent like we occasionally eat each others food) but if i get my own its over.
Youre doing great getting over the hill! Youll wake up in the morning proud.

Iām sorry to hear your having a rough day @Minatasha But thatās all it is, itās a shit feeling, a shitty day that will pass. And no substance will make any of it better in the long run. Be kind to yourself, rest up, watch a movie or do something chill.
Youāre doing the right thing reaching out here, you are doing the right thing staying sober x
