Haha good job. Looking forward to the picturs. I also did a kind of makeover for myself. I wanted to get rid of the look of the old me. I had bright red and very long hair. Very striking. I had that look for years. So basically it kind of suited my user time. So now I have cut my hair shorter (it is now medium length) and a normal brown color. Not a color you can see from miles away. Happy with my new self!

Right on. I kinda went the oppositeā€¦ When I was in active addiction and abuse. First I wasnā€™t allowed to do anything he didnā€™t like and second I hid behind my ā€œplainā€ look. Thatā€™s why it took so long for anyone to figure out I was an addict. I disguised myself well.

Iā€™m at less than 3 mg and still, bored (and angry at myself) with that addiction. Of course itā€™s better than joints that were killing my lungs and my brain and my will to live, better than cigarettes too, but I want to get rid of that. Itā€™s psychological, I dont really feel any crave with 3 mg. What will I do with my hands :sweat_smile::sob::joy:

Thanks for this! I woke up this morning with lots of anxiety and feeling blue. I just took the time in a quiet place and listened. It definitely helped. I felt a little calmer and readier to get through the day!

:high_brightness: Check in
Day 64
I had THE 2nd worse using dream Iā€™ve ever had last night. Slept hard but woke up to my hubbys alarm at 5am and thought to myself, " Omg what did I do?!". Had to fully wake up to realize that I didnā€™t use last night. That I literally went to bed and slept all night. So grateful for my sobriety today and to be reminded of what it was like.
Anyway, I have a work related mtg for 3 hours via zoom in the morning, a dr phone call early afternoon, and an errand to run. Busy day but trulyā€¦ Iā€™m grateful to be able to do these tasks and not be sooo strung out that I couldnt care less. So yesā€¦ sometimes life is shitty and hard, but Iā€™m not complaining today :wink: Cuz Iā€™m grateful that I CAN do basic everyday things :pray:
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Daily Check Ins: Day 2

Good morning from New York everyone,
I am doing my daily check in. Right now I am feeling a bit numb, tired, and lethargic. I do feel a bit spaced out but I am doing ok. I am feeling a little down because I believe I messed up a true friendship with my drinking but I am picking myself up and outside and getting that fresh air to feel better.

Hope everyone is having a great day for of positivity because :heart: is what I am sending out to you today.

Stay blessed always :100::blush::slightly_smiling_face:
