Day 705 clean and sober today. Didn’t make it out to do anything productive yesterday but napped, watched movies and ate a lot. Apparently it was much needed. Have an amazing day today everyone, love you guys!!!

Congrats on 2 weeks!!! I was sooo exhausted for the first little bit of my recovery. I think the mental work in trying to be clean and sober (especially in the beginning) causes us to be exhausted physically. It really does take work to be addiction free. Even now I go thru phases of being energetic and ready to go!.. and exhaustion which is frustrating. I applaud u for changing ur eating and exercise habits! That’s awesome 
try to listen to ur body tho. It’s hard to find that balance but ur body is going thru alot right now

Generally speaking I run 3-4 days a week. 1 long run and the rest are short 2-5miles. I have read that it isn’t great for your joints to run everyday but everyone’s body is different. That’s why I do the weight training a few times a week to still get my endorphins but give my joints a break from the impact of running. (Remember I ain’t no specialist lol this is just what works for me)

Morning Check In
Day 93
Woke up pretty tired today but pushed myself a bit to get out of bed and workout. Bcuz I woke up late I only did back and biceps and some cardio in between my sets.
My hair looks good! Hubby dyed it for me last night. It’s dark but I’m sure will lighten up slightly overtime. Will take a sober selfie later
Feeling good! Realizing how important it is to not make a permanent life changing decision based on temporary emotions. In other words (as it relates to addiction), it’s important to remember that emotions change, thinking changes, and it’s best to just ride the feelings out instead of using drugs and alcohol which causes drastic and sometimes permanent life altering events to happen. Last night I was super fearful about having long term recovery and fearful that I wouldn’t be able to get it. Today I am feeling good about things and that fear has decreased alot. Things change constantly in my head haha
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
Hugs TS fam!!!

Hello everybody some great clean/sober time on here this morning! I’m day 287
I am doing better, at work now, and feeling less emotional. I decided to miss my NA homegroup meeting last night and just do some self-care and sleep, so that helped. I also did some searching and found a local therapist/practice experienced in my issues especially substance use and trauma which is rearing its ugly head. Best thing is they only charge $130/h instead of $200 like my old therapist. Thankfully my ex still has me on his benefits out of compassion so some of it will be covered.
Love you all and praying for a good sober day for everybody.

Thanks @Matt. They’ve definitely outgrown the water park stage – don’t want to do anything that involves leaving their rooms and doing something with Mom! But they still enjoy icecream.

Thank you for the reply I certainly need to go easy on myself and I’m sure it will take a bit of time to find my equilibrium again. Not really sure how I coped waking up drained everyday after drinking far too much, this is def better than that! I just need to do the work instead of expecting a panacea of energy and enlightenment at this early stage 
Really helpful to read others experiences rather than worrying that it’s just me!
