Evening Check in
Day 112
Honestly Iām kind of proud of myself tonight. I reviewed my day tonight to see where I could improve or what I couldāve done differently. I honestly wanted to stay in bed today and sleep the day away (this is what my brain thinks at times when I donāt want to deal with things). Instead I used my tools and what Iāve learned to get thru this day. I know these tools work but I have to use to them in order for that to happen. I spent time connecting to my HP first and then just started taking care of things on my to do list. I stayed busy and slowed down and just tried my best to be present. Twice thoughts popped up about usingā¦ but it was the weather that caused that thought and not due to my stress. And reading everyoneās posts on here helped too. Gave me a fresh look at my own situation. I have been a slave to drugs and money and all sorts of things my whole life. I never want to allow any situation or person or object to have that kind of power over me again. I just want to be free have a great TS fam!

Hi Everyone,
Really hard for me to post tonight. Iām back on Day 1. I had gone 21 days, then 5. Iām struggling with sadness, I felt like such a loser after throwing away 3 weeks. I havenāt given up, what keeps me going is I know many of you have relapsed in the past but are now doing great, and you understand where Iām at. I will keep trying

Definitely, everyone made me feel so much better yesterday, it is much appreciated at the same time as so warming to know people care. Thank you.
How are you doing ?, from reading your post where you in a relationship before ? Sorry to hear your feeling so lonely and empty. I was going to add that after a break up, these feelings can be pretty normal although they are overwhelmingly uncomfortable i wouldnt think to deep about it all, for me that would send me down my own rabbit hole in my head, but perhaps concentrate on ways to help yourself feel better.
When i think, and i do alot of that, it can bring on depresion and anxiety. Everyone is different though and i think its great your talking about it to your room mate and here

I take my hat off to those who come back after a relapse.
My relapse lasted 2 years, to see your strength and for you to spring back straight away is amazing.

@Twizzlers Thanks for checking in
I was in an 8 year relationship that ended at the start of May. I have a son and a step daughter from that relationship who mean the absolute world to me.
I thik you are right it must be normal to feel emotional turmoil after a breakup, I have just probably never experienced that because I was medicating my emotions with my drug of choice.
I will try and be kinder to myself today and take it a bit easier. Iāll also try and stay out of my own head which I find very hard but itās worth the effort. Sobriety is worth it.

@Butterflymoonwoman So proud of you 112 days WOW!!
I love reading your posts and following your story and watching you blossom. You have so much advice that helps so many im really gratefull your here and i also get to see your journey and celebrate it with you.
@Bigbear That takes strength, im glad your here in a great supportive community, keep reaching out, you can do this, you poured it away ā¦ your already doing it.
@ArtMama i hope you managed to take some time for yourself, even an hour if you can, i was so tearfull yesterday so i spent my day in bed here. I know thats not possible for everyone to do but make sure you try and do something for yourself. Sending you a hug 
Im here if you need to talk. Congratulations on your 21 days.
@Gorden You make a really good point there about setting realistic goals, so at the end of the day especially if its not a great day we havent loaded our selves with lots to do, putting ourselves under too much pressure then if we dont manage to finish it feel even worse like we have failed. Such a true comment there. Set realistic goals.

You have a family, that must very difficult for you, I can relate to your situation in a few ways.
I can say your right about staying sober, that is one thing we can do that will always help.

So, how come its so hard, maybe scary, to say out Im an alcholic? I mean, yesterday I was at a work gathering, summer party, and its always drinking. I did not. And when someone ask what you drinking I say AF, and then:why come on, just one(they know I used to drink), so I say No, because when I start I cant stop. Why do I find it so scary to say No because Im an alcholic?
