1 year!
Canāt believe its already been a year. This morning I was thinking how I used to not be able to go a single day without drinking and now Iām measuing sobriety in years. Itās incredible how much better life got when alcohol was removed from my life.
I spent the better part of 5 years attempting to get sober. It wasnt until I was honest with myself and everyone in my life about the extent of my drinking that I was able to commit to recovery.
I know its clichƩ but if I can do it, anyone can do it.
I hope everyone has a great sober day and much love!

Thank you!
Being there and being present is the best thing we can give our children. They will never forget it!

I read that the more we say no to an urge, that they lessen over time. We have to re teach our brain not to get rewarded when we act on an urge. That we need to sit with the urge and be present. Figure out what thoughts, circumstances or feelings that are triggering the urge. Learn new coping mechanisms to deal with the trigger and change our thoughts about the circumstance. This is what I have been trying to practice.

This is it!! This is exactly what I did too. Very much on retraining the brain u know whatās interestingā¦ and ur post just made me think of itā¦ is when u said:
I actually found that overtime, my brain gets rewarded the satisfaction of not using. There was such excitement and pride for me in being able to not use. Theres almost a natural high to staying clean and sober. At 1st it was tough to really retrain the brain to not getting what it wants (alcohol/drugs). But then at some point I got a natural rush over not using and experiencing life for what it is. I absolutely think ur on the right track

Hi Everyone, Iām checking in on day 42. Works been super busy and my down time Iām glueing tiny rocks to a sticky board, canāt stop 
. Iām on my 2nd one.
Iām so behind here, but I havenāt even seriously thought of drinking. Iām over 200 behind on meme wars and on the check in site, I canāt keep up. I got overwhelmed trying.
Going to try to get a couple things done today, but honestly, if I take a shower, I will be calling it a win 
. Iām thinking of all of you and hope you have an amazing day/evening/night!
