For what its worth i see a lot of relapses and resets here, even with people who have been sober 2 years+ sometimes it happens.

I think its less shameful to post because this is literally an app to help you get sober. relapse should be taken seriously but i dont think youre being judged here for reaching out.

Congratulations on 7 days. ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹

Checking in on day 9
Today I was off, but itā€™s been a hectic day, I didnā€™t really have time to chill.
This morning I had my appointment with my therapist, that went quite alright.
In the afternoon I went to see my parents. That went also quite alright, we even had some laughs playing a board game. Doesnā€™t happen too oftenā€¦ My dadā€™s health is more or less stable though he has lost some more weight again (68KG with 1,90cm is not a healthy ratio!)
I caught up on the workout challenge, so Iā€™m proud of that! And obviously Iā€™m proud that I didnā€™t drink today! Itā€™s been a good day! :cherry_blossom::relaxed:

Day 175
Feeling good overall today. Woke up for a workout which was a nice way to start the day. Did my prayer and daily readings. Turning my thinking and acting over to God today. Feeling positive about the day. My son and I already went out to do some errands. I was desperately trying to find the right sized bag for his medical equipment. School starts in 1 week for him so I wanted to get everything bought asap. I found the perfect bag! So thatā€™s such a relief. Came home and did some cleaning, money budgeting, and weekly planning. Thatā€™s about it so far :slight_smile: Hope everyone is having an addiction free day!

Sounds like a good plan. I like the fact that your not comparing yourself to other people. Everybodyā€™s recovery is definitely different and at our own pace. Great jobšŸ‘

Hi everyone :raising_hand_woman:
I hope your all doing okay.
I have been unwell for I think 4 days now.
Managed to have some food today, which feels good, Iā€™m hoping to wake tomo and feel refreshed and better.
I cant wait to get back to the fitness classes and swimming everyday, it felt amazing the past 3 weeks until I became poorly.
I cant complain though, itā€™s not covid all tests are negative and I think Iā€™m slowly getting better, il know when I get up.
Just been drinking lots of water, still though Iā€™m going to call the dr tomorrow if symptoms persist as il probably need some electrolytes or something.

Anyway have had time to read, watch film and do nothing so also started feeling a bit low today then realised itā€™s just because I have too much time to think.

Iā€™m in bed now, going to stick around reading here for a bit, wont be able to reply to lots of you but be sure Iā€™m catching up.
I wish you all a lovely day or evening or morning where ever you are.
Thanks for reading :hugs:

Thank youā€¦ I find sometimes Iā€™m quick to get Down about my life and compare to other people and what I donā€™t have but Iā€™m learning to quickly shut that kind of thinking down . I donā€™t have to react to my first thought . I have to tell myself Iā€™m right where Iā€™m supposed to be . Also helps to talk to people who understand and are on this same recovery journey .

Day 156

I made myself eat and clean the litter box. But physically depressed. I just sat at my desk and wanted to cry and use. The urge passed but moving triggered it. The sun shone on the liquor cabinet in the dining room, my new room is not done and depressing.

I can organize the shit on my floor and put my tools together. Go find more at my moms house and bring a box over. Make coffee. Maybe sand the shelf i have.

I also made a hard phone call to insurance soā€¦something got done. I need to get off my sad phone, move my body more, and read more books.

Note to self: The world is so much larger than my personal despair, act like it! I have purpose in this world.

@Twizzlers hope your feeling better soon. There are a load of bugs going around at the minute. We have a few off work with sickness. Either that or they just want to enjoy the weather.

We are always here waiting for anyone who comes back! I know I relapsed several times, and it is in those times we most need connection and support. 7 days is great :purple_heart: bet you are feeling more like yourself. Keep going!
