Whoot Whoot little late to post but I am happy to be 6 months half a year clean and sober! Never could have imagined. My life has turned 360 for the better and Iāve only just begun my recovery. It works if you work it. My higher Power whom I call Godā¦prayeršš½meetingsā¦step workā¦ having a sponsorā¦ gratitude journalā¦this appā¦ meditation, exercise,yoga, therapy, mindfulness putting boundaries in place just to name a few of the tools that have been a foundation for me too getting to this point.
I miss you all and proud of us all. Having the courage and faith to live odaat clean. To love on ourselves so we can love on others. Itās that simple. But damn hardā¦
I miss checking in daily and reading everyoneās check.in but for now Iāll post as Iām lead. Love you all!
Serene and sober 24 all! You can do this!!!

Day 3 - An early check in for me today as I am playing an online game with a friend of mine tonight.
Day 3 started off in an odd place. I had a really really vivid dream that brought out my worst cravings. I had all the signs, heart palpitating, shortness of breath, confused thoughts. It was rough. Made worse by being groggy from just waking up. I clung on to myself in that moment feeling like I was being battered by the storm of my addiction. I pushed on, made breakfast and as I did I really focused on what I was doing right in that second. Filling the cereal bowl, making toast, making tea. Every moment I just observed. I tried some breathing exercises and unbelievablyā¦
It passed. The craving passed.
I have never ever experienced that before. Usually I would get worked up trying to fight the craving but this time I opened up to myself and thought about why I was craving and what was really going on. It was my anxiety. I had stopped, identified my feelings and the craving passed.
I am so happy and greatful that I had that moment. Iām so grateful I can share this with you all. It was just another step but it felt like a really important one.

Good Morningā¦thank you !
It is possible. Iāve been around for a while and had multiple day 1ās. The point is your here. Youāve taken the first step admitting you have a problemā¦the hardest step in my opinion.
You can do this Iām proud of you. Sharing and getting it out really helped me in my first few weeks. The support on this app is awesome a very loving community.
We are glad you are here. See you around. ODAAT!

Ohh no youāre not silly girl! Youāre really not complaining and youāre not old. But I understand it feels that way. What kind of genre in terms of movies or series do you like? My favorite series is Stranger Things. Nice and exciting but donāt know if you like it. Season 4 of this series will begin on May 28. Lock & Key is also nice. And from action movies you really have to see the hitmanās wifeās bodyguard ( hilarious and lots of action) and baby driver

Sober. I told my flatmates that I am on Antabus and they were really happy about it. We went out yesterday and it was really good for me to just dance it out and since I knew I would get really sick (experience from 2019ā¦), the desire to drink wasnāt present. Today I feel like I have an empathetic hangover with flatmates - I danced a lot and went to bed at 2.30am. we went to have brunch at this cute American diner close to us. Now I am on my sofa with a duvet, gonna watch some tv.
But yeah. I am an addict, so even though I was able to ā,succesfullyā drink after two years of sobriety, I noticed already those addict thought and behavior patterns coming up. So I told my nurse to write up all risky days I know of for the coming three months so that if I donāt come fetch my antabus or if I try to talk myself into quitting, they can see the connection to the risky dates.
There is no moderation for me š i slipped but no way I wanna go back to how it used to be.
