I think itās normal for many of us (me included) to get ācomplacentā on our recoveries (altho that can be a very scary and dangerous position to be in). Ur making great progress getting those clean days in and Iām so proud of you! I have felt that need to back off from here and Iāve felt that need to stop praying, finding excuses for why I canāt and it never ends well 
for me anyway. I have relapsed many times due to complacency. My mind will tell me that Iām doing so well and that I donāt need it as much. But then I find myself struggling with my addiction and my emotions and mind and just with basic living. Things are good in my life today because I am clean! And like they say, āwe have a daily reprieve from our addictionsā by doing the work of our recoveries DAILY. You have learned from this relapse. I see that u care deeply about ur sobriety and this will take u far! Itās when I donāt feel like doing something for my recovery, is the time when I really should hugs
And ur welcome my friend! I care about u and want to see u get recovery (like I do for everyone here).

Hi everyone, iv got alot of catching up to do here.
Hope everything is okay.
Iām going to take a read around see how everyone is 
My mum broke her foot. So I have been quite busy.
And since not being on here funny enough the cravings have been strong. But I already knew when I am not active here the cravings grow.

We get our keys tomorrow. Itās getting real!
My husband and I went to pick up a few second hand items around the city yesterday, and had dinner together at a cool American style burger joint. There were tonnes of tap beers, spirits and cocktails on the menu. Big brewery next door, lots of people drinking. But we were able to sit and have dinner and enjoy a burger, a chat and the moment. The sting of being left out is shrinking. I donāt feel like Iām missing out as much anymore.
Anyway, big few days coming up so if I donāt check in, Iām rocking in a corner somewhere surrounded by furniture and boxes haha.
Big love everyone

Not going exactly textbook. Starting raining before I got here, so I had to set up tent before sundown. Almost didnāt find my spot because everything is overgrown, and the humidity is crazy. My shirt is soaked already.
Iām feeling that COPD. My load out isnāt that heavy but I can tell I wonāt be hiking 3 miles back to the house. But I made it here, so Iām going to start healing now. š„²
BTW @Butterflymoonwoman I think youāre completely correct about complacency; I felt it right before I relapse. Every. Single. Time.
