Hang in there I know it’s hard to not compare yourself to other people and the way things used to be maybe but you’re exactly right with your list of what realistically happens if we pick up that drink. I can very much relate. It’s cool to be able to think logically about our addictions and face them and be ok with everything. Sobriety is not always easy but it’s so much better then the alternative
Agree ! Im not on any social media anymore, haven’t been for years. This is a community, a group of people sharing to help others that we now call friends.
Social media turned into a ‘one up’ playground for adults. Always trying to prove who has more or who is happier, it can be sad. And Twitter is a forum that people can use to attack others without saying it to their face. It’s not for me.
@BrianP happy to see your smile.
Day 8 no tobacco!!! C’mon!
This is our sober media… It’s all I use (and Youtube)
I love youtube!
I think it does just take time honestly. We’ve put ourselves thru so much and have done alot to ourselves and others. I think I have broken the surface to this self love and forgiveness thing but I’m surr it takes some work lol ur doing very well also! I always read ur posts and am always inspired by your journey!
Congratulations on your 90 days TF.
I’m glad your here.
Thank you
Me too my man
Love Ted Lasso!!!
What a beautiful way to celebrate 90 days! Congrats
Good job being honest and telling on yourself. Do the next right thing
Thanks you. It was so nurturing and felt good.
Day 35. Ugh. I don’t like today. And I didn’t like yesterday. Actually the entire week has been kinda ugh.,.,Coffee even tastes bad this week. Lol I’m very edgy and being an A-hole to my husband. I wanted to drink yesterday and want to drink today. I don’t know why. But….I’m not going to drink today. Praying this passes soon. I feel like going and buying a lottery ticket after watching the Lottery bought my dream home show, oh and a Twix because my sugar cravings are insane right now. But I’m sure that will piss me off somehow. Have a great day everyone!
It really means a lot to me that you remember me reaching out to you. I remember all of the people who were there for me in the beginning, those I have met along the way and those who continue to reach out. I’m really proud of you for continuing and I’m so happy that you are still here fighting for your best life❤️
You definitely brightened up in my day!
Sent it pigeon post. They are so unreliable these days…
Checking in 2033 days. I’ve been really struggling with depression and anxiety/fear. But I will not pick up over it. Have a great Saturday everyone! ODAAT
Out in the woods now.
Battery is full now, but it’ll go quick so if I suddenly disappear I’m not ignoring anyone! Decided to have a little nature time. It can be a little stressful though. Not worried about the cops messing with me, but I don’t want some homeless guy wandering into my camp.
Overall it’s peaceful here. Got bug spray, food and a book.
102 days
The rainy days this weekend triggered a little pang in me yesterday. We did some productive things in terms of organising the new place, relaxed a little, went out for milkshakes. Nothing too exciting. We were near a bottle shop and a pub at one point and I thought of how alcohol used to be what we would do on the weekend, especially in crap weather. Few drinks and a meal in the pub, get drunk at home. And for a second I missed the hobby. But really thinking about it, it didn’t feel great. Going home and actually relaxing felt much better. And I’m not broke after one day drinking inside haha.
Anyway, off to the gym this rainy Sunday then I’m going to start a new painting which I’m itching to get into
Have a great weekend everyone x
Love the picnic picture
