:high_brightness: Morning Check in :high_brightness:
Day 152
I just want to thank everyone for the help and support on my ā€œfailingā€ eating plan. It wasnt until I stopped eating that way, that I realized how sort of damaging it was (not only to my body but also my mind).So basically what I have come to discover was that, eating so strictly was actually my attempt to control something in my life. Once again it was an all or nothing situation. I ate basically no carbs for 1 month and then yesterday after I quit keto, I ate so much and everything was so carb heavy. All or nothingā€¦ story of my life haha BUTā€¦ I have learned alot from this and will incorporate some things of what i have learned to be more carb conscious and to eat the right kinds of carbs. Recovery wiseā€¦ I had some weird using thoughts yesterday. Nothing major and was able to get rid of the thoughts easily. Now Iā€™m off to work. My body is sure thanking me tho today! I do feel better overall. Just need to find balance
Hope everyone has am addiction free day!

Yeah I canā€™t wait to get through it but it is definitely going a lot more different than the 1st and 2nd and I feel like I have a hard time letting go of control and handing over everything to my Higher Power. I am going to work on it today some more and just try to be into my recovery and self-care. I am so happy to be working the steps, they really are giving me freedom!!

I love that sayingā€¦ ur post reminds me tho of how our HP uses us to help others. Even tho it may be triggering, u are obviously very good at what u do in the detox centre. It must be so hard to see that kind of pain and hurt right in front of you. But u have a purpose here on earth and helping others seems to be ur calling! Wishing u all the best today at ur workplace.

Hello friends. Checking in on day 400. Iā€™ve just returned from a work trip. Going to take the kids to swimming lessons, and hopefully catch up on chores around the house. Have a good day!

Hey Cassi,
Itā€™s okay to start over, if you have any booze left, please dump it. Donā€™t tell yourself you wonā€™t drink it if itā€™s in the house, because you will.

Itā€™s no secret to anyone that I relapsed 1st go around at 22 days. Iā€™ve been following your journey and Iā€™m not surprised this happened, we have to change our mindset. I have a feeling you knew you were going to drink even before you did, I know I did (before I relapsed).

Starting over was a good thing for me, Iā€™m now on Day 35 and I think differently than the 1st time. You need to want to quit for you, not for anyone else, if youā€™re trying to do this for anyone besides yourself, you will fail. ODAAT is not just a silly thing everyone writes, I took this to heart, I canā€™t think about not drinking tomorrow, Iā€™m only not drinking today. Sending hugs :hugs: Let us know how you are, weā€™re always here for you. :heart:

Day 1. Again.

Feel like shit. Had a boy over, thankfully nothing happened. My neighbor also came by and, apparently*, at some point I just went to bed.

*I say this because I donā€™t remember.

Gonna spend the day crying in bed, feeling like crap.

Hello! @Daishippai happy to read all is moving along in your day. (get it? :rofl:) Dumb humor is my specialty.

My friend @Butterflymoonwoman gave me the name of this app. Sheā€™s probably wishing Iā€™d stop telling everyone it was her since Iā€™ve gone overboard with it. :grin: Itā€™s called Gif Master.

CONGRATULATIONS ON DAYā€¦
