Day 8 with no gambling after my last relapse. Had some drinks last night with friends, which is usually my main trigger, and had zero urges whatsoever. I went home, watched a movie, and was completely at ease. Even tho I have a slight sore head this morning, I feel amazing.

I had some revelations after the last relapse and I think this time around I might actually be able to do it! I am off work for the next three weeks, heading abroad to the US on Friday to visit family that I have not seen in 14 years, which is exciting.

Gonna go and do some shopping for the trip and might even treat myself to an ol big mac because why not.

Keeping this train on the tracks!

Hi Rob,

That is interesting. I also try to sleep through tough times and most of the times it works. Like a reset button.

Day 759 clean and sober. The wave of sadness, loneliness and general yuckyness has passed again like it always does. Something that I tell myself every time it happens is that it’s ok to just go to bed early and sleep through it. Usually it’s better in the morning but at times it lasts for a few days but it always passes period. I hope everyone has an amazing day and thank you for the support I love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Day 493! Last day of medical leave. I actually did a whole lot of nothing over the last week. Crocheting a teddy bear for SO’s pregnant daughter was my big accomplishment. Bigger, I suppose, was following the doctor’s orders and sitting still. Now that I think about it, biggest was remaining sober. Happy Monday!

Hi Miranda, congratulations on 20! I know that can be a tough stretch, only 10 more to 30, you got this!!

Thanks for the shout out. :heart: And that sucks about your 1 day ‘in the office’. My boss tried a couple times to get everyone in twice a week and most do now. I’ve been there 7 years and I know how much he needs me, so I stayed remote. I know he finally gave up when he gave away my desk.:blush:

Keep going, you got this!!

Hi! It’s called diamond painting. Instead of paint by numbers, you put tiny stones (diamonds) on a sticky board in their color coded spot. Here’s a pic I took over the weekend. I’m a little farther now. :blush:
