Checking in daily to maintain focus #43

5 months! 151 days. Beyond happy and thankful!

One thing I can say about this journey is that the beginning was definitely the hardest for me… getting past that first week especially; I had so many restarts over the years. Days 4 or 5 would be the challenging ones. But once the days started building and the momentum was there, it was such a great feeling and supported my perseverance. I’m certainly not saying its ever been or will be ‘easy’, but I know for damn sure its worth it!!!

Stay strong everyone!! :muscle:

Yes it will be hard. But you can do this. Check in here before you use. Read around here a lot.
Remember the craving will pass and days add up quickly. I never thought I’d be 56 days sober and here I am. I really had to learn my triggers and learn to sit with uncomfortable feelings instead of just trying to escape or numb myself. Meditate, breathe, walk, eat, call a friend, reach out here. It is possible to beat each craving one by one. Day by day. Minute by minute. Don’t think too far ahead. We are here for you♥️

Checking in day 567.

Feeling good today! Cautiously optimistic- I’m coming out of a recent slump of anxiety & panic…

So for today- I’m going to try & enjoy the peace in my heart, & try to not be constantly bracing for the other shoe to drop. :heart: :pray:

Hope everyone has a great day!

It’s both a church and an contemporary art gallery. Museumkaart gives you free entrance. I try to come there once a month. Maybe a little bit less in reality. Such an awesome impressive meditative place. Love it so much.

…1523. Today at work has been a complete shit burger. This whole week has been one.

If you are newly sober, sobriety doesnt promise you easy days. It gives you the skills, additude, and emotional courage to deal with a shit burger with a smile, with peace, with calm…and the ability to move on from it.

Stay sober friends!
