Awww sweetheart, you literally made me cry lol. I’m so proud of you. I still recover 24 hours at a time.
Hun, the longer you keep pushing forward the easier it will be to face past trauma and work through it. I was a child of an alcoholic. Taken from my mother, separated from my siblings and placed in more foster homes than I can recall. Childhood abuse, some of it bad. Grew up, joined the military, suffered SA there. Got married and we both descended into the pits of addiction which led to a lot of emotional abuse and DV. Lived in my van with two kids. A lot more I won’t list. I’m telling this part to show you I do understand trauma. As I grew in my recovery each thing I needed to work through fell into place at the exact time it was supposed to. I learned not to push until I was ready to accept. My path is mine. Yours might be different and that is okay. I wish you well on your walk of trauma recovery. Just remember one day at a time works for that as well.
You are a blessing on this app. I throughly enjoy watching your growth. Stay blessed
Day 737 clean and sober today. The concert was AMAZING last night and much needed. First time ever seeing Slipknot live and they were way better then I thought they would be, so freaking powerful. Have an amazing day today everyone I love you guys!!!
Day 14 today! 2 whole weeks, and not a single drop of alcohol. I honestly don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve done that and that’s a little terrifying to think about how much I turned to a bottle for one thing or another. But on the flip side, I’m so excited! Two weeks AF and I feel amazing to have gotten this far. I’m looking forward to continuing on to my 20 days and then my 30 days.
I hope y’all have an awesome day and can find some joy in being clean/sober today
Yes I often use cbd (which I call o’dweed lol) it does have a tiny tiny bit of thc… but I also, on other days, use heavy doses of thc. The cbd has been good though cause I feel different and relaxed without being like high and it’s been a good compromise. Also everything is “medical” so it’s more regulated than street pot.

Alcohol was something I was able to fling out the window but this I feel like I’m in the coaxing down one step at a time approach. As a somewhat binary person, on/off is more comfortable than regulating because that sometimes leads to anxiety in anticipation or a binge/abstain tomorrow mentality.
Two weeks of being a miracle! Oh that is wonderful to see What an awesome milestone.
Ok, I’m going to show my ignorance here. I’ve wondered what it means and I’m finally going to ask. AF?? What does that mean? I keep seeing it posted. I know when you tell me I’m gonna be like duh lol
Oh honey, I’m sorry. My father is gone too. I couldn’t afford to go home 1800 miles away when he passed and I still am very sad about that. He knew I had turned my life around but he never saw me in person clean.
Day 37😎had an awesome weekend took my kids out went for food lots of walks and lots of chasing after them😂decided to take 3 under 5s on the bus they wer so excited was worth seeing there face safe to say Al b driving next time😂happy Father’s Day to all the dads I feel truly blessed in life just now
Have to agree with the never knowing what you get, even in rural upstate NY there is fentanyl now laced in. I am prescribed marinol from my primary doctor that comes straight from the pharmacy that is strictly controlled and can only refill every 30 days. And CBD has worked wonders for a few people I know and two of my animals actually but as stated make sure your picking the correct one, just check THC content and be sure it’s from a reputable CBD company.
Checking in day 64. Haven’t been making my sobriety a priority and I can feel the voices trying to convince me one is ok. I can control it. I need to get back to checking in daily. Happy father’s day to all the dads out there!
Day 15. Taught an early class, cleaned the house, and getting ready to have all the kids here for my husband for Father’s Day. Have a great day everyone!
duh lol
