Day 189
Feeling better today overall. A good sleep always helps 
Just getting my boy ready for school now. Excited to make today a great one! I’m not rushing around today or pressuring myself to get 1000 things done lol Today will consist of a workout, meditation and prayer, then a grocery shop and some cleaning. Should be a fantastic day! Hope urs is all too! And am addiction free on at that!

day 87 AF
The desire to remain AF is slowly returning. I know these are normal ups and downs feelings and they do indeed pass. I also know if you say them out loud it helps and it doesn’t feel like some dirty secret.
Today would have been my father 72nd birthday. I was very much a daddies girl. So I think today I will find something to do outside. He enjoyed being outside. Then maybe I will find an old clint Eastwood or John Wayne movie to watch as he enjoyed those as well. Yup, that sounds like a good way to celebrate him today.
Have a wonderful day out there everyone.

Day 11
Woke up well rested. Thinking about trying out coffee… I’ve never been a coffee drinker but y’all make it seem so good lol.
So my hubby took the kids to school and the car started running hot really bad. With he lift the hood fluid was everywhere. So the car is at the shop and we are waiting for the damage cost. Money is super tight right now since we had to get the kids ready for back to school.
However I’m handling it very well. Instead of having anxiety about it and getting upset I’m shockingly calm about it!
I mean whats the point of getting upset or angry. The hubby walked in saying if it ain’t one thing it’s another! Which is true.
My response was we can’t control what happens around us, but we can control how we respond to it.
I am such a different person sober. I’m so thankful for these 11 days of sobriety.
Hopefully it don’t cost too much to get the car fixed cause we have to pick the kiddos up after school and that’s our only transportation right now. I will check in with y’all later.
Hope everyone have a happy sober Monday❤️

Nicotine: ok it’s been 159 hours. You proved your point. You can quit. Buuuuttttt…do you really want to?
Me: Do I really want to? It depends on which moment you ask.
Nicotine: Outstanding!! Let’s run to the store! Oh wait, a quicker fix would be raid your grandson’s ashtray for butts! Hurry!!
Me: Naww. This moment is saying no thank you.
Nicotine: Damn it! I’ll try again later!
Me: Go for it but the no moments are much longer and stronger than any yes one.
Nicotine: shrinks down and mutters quietly.
Literal conversation in my head this morning. As I’m typing it a grandkid came outside and stood behind me smoking. Got a big whiff and all I could think was how they used to smell good to me.
Sitting out here with playing peekaboo with the juvenile squirrel. He is fearful and curious at the same time. Kinda like me 
Have a blessed day everyone

Checking in…
I relapsed at 18 months, 16 months ago and it just didnt feel right. It felt just like the stories i hear in the rooms of people relapsing with a head full of recovery and a belly full of booze. I picked myself up again and kept trying one day at a fricken time, just like everything else.
Don’t ever stop trying.

You are doing great! The longer you go without it, the easier it gets. Remember, you don’t actually lose anything, you get to be free from this addiction. Stay strong!
