Checking in today to celebrate 2 years sober.

It has been a long and hard journey to get here. It still takes daily monitoring and awareness of triggers and mental preparednesses.

I am so happy I found this forum!!! So many people helped me get to this milestone.

Thanks TS!!!

If you are just starting KEEP TRYING!!!
It is worth it!!

Day 92
Woke up for another great workoutā€¦ did legs today. Also had a good rest! Got some relaxing, easy going things to do today along with coloring my hair. So im excited for that!
Late last night tho, hubby got a text fromā€¦ guess who?.. our old dealer. He got a new number and was going thru the contact list and wanted to see ā€œhow we were?ā€. Againā€¦ he said, ā€œHavenā€™t heard from u in awhile, everything OK?ā€. My hubby told him that we were done with it long ago and that even if we wanted to, we didnā€™t have the money for it anyway. Our dealer told us that he didnā€™t mind dropping us off a bag for free. Sooo hubby told me this and then said to me that thereā€™s this guy at work who uses on the weekends and that he could make some easy money off of it by selling this free bag to him. There are many things wrong with this plan. 1st off, I donā€™t want anything to do with our dealer or his minions lol 2nd of all, I DO NOT want that in the home for many reasons but especially bcuz it would just be sitting here in our home for 4 days and thatā€™s honestly dangerousā€¦ to think I am even strong enough to have it around me for that long, would be ridiculous. 3rd I think itā€™s sickening that dealers give out freebies to get u re-hooked and spending money againā€¦ not today or ever Satan! And 4th I donā€™t want to be the person responsible for keeping someone addicted and adding to this mans addiction. Sooo many things wrong with this. I told hubby these reasons and he said ur rightā€¦ we dont need the money that bad anyway (which we dont). He blocked that new number and deleted the message. That couldve been bad. But sooo grateful for recovery and for my HP right now!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Hi all Kat here checking in on day 286 without meth pills.

Recovering today after my PTSD was majorly triggered last night by a joke my brother made about it. It made me realize that I am not ā€˜overā€™ all my trauma and probably need to see a therapist again and get real. I feel bad for going off on my brother but to me this shit is deadly serious. It led to my initial drug use and nearly killed me.

My psychiatrists office phoned back I have an appointment June 1 going to talk about increased episodes of depression and suicidal thoughts which are usually an indication that I need a med increase/changeā€¦

So thatā€™s that, I am at work and doing a bit better today. Have lots of support which is great.

Wish everyone a clean 24!

@Butterflymoonwoman you got it, there is no way that shit can come in to your house, I would be relapsing within hours if I had dope in my house.

Glad ur continuing to keep working on the mental health aspect. I find being mentally stable so crucial for recovery. I feel awful about what happened to u with ur brother :frowning: I hope he was apologetic and realized how serious that was for u. Itā€™s funny bcuz my trauma too, I think Iā€™ve pushed it down soo far over soo long that I ā€œthinkā€ itā€™s been dealt with. Then something will trigger it and itā€™s a huge realization to me how I really havenā€™t dealt with it yet. But most times I donā€™t think it bothers me. I donā€™t know what happened to u (and im soo sorry that it did) :frowning: I hope that you gain some sense of peace around that :pray: When I think of the things that have happened to me, I wonder to myself why my trauma seriously doesnā€™t debilitate me today. Am I that desensitized to it that it rarely does much to me?! Thatā€™s awful to think about honestly. I guess all we can do is work and heal around it when it pops up.

Making great choices. Your dealer was not being nice. One free bag now, 50 paid bags later. And your husbandā€™s plan had more holes than a sieve.

Hey everyone. Another day down. Today seems to be a tough one. I have had bad cravings all day and I am trying to put them out of my mind. I knew I needed to check in here to try and help fight off the cravings. If I canā€™t get rid of them, Iā€™ll be back to post again. Hope everyone has a great sober day
