Thank you Trusty :hugs:

Thank you Mno!! :hugs:

Thank you LMC! :heartpulse:
I am working on it since I started sobriety. But this man just came in my life and it’s very special as we love the same sport and act in the same pace in it. Its so much fun.
Don’t want to miss this contact.
The pace in getting to know is very slow

We can’t talk underwater :rofl:
Yes there are these butterflies in my stomach.
But how to cancel falling in love?
Don’t know.
I really like the times we spend together.
Don’t want to end this contact.
Maybe it’s a way to act carefully.
I totally agree that I have to stay focused on working on myself :panda_face::hugs:

I will go on working with all your answers
Thank you SO MUCH!

Atm i just want to cry
 But as I learned from other recent posts. Crying helps.

Sending love :heartpulse:

Day 857. Went for a hike after work yesterday regardless of being so exhausted from waking up at 1am and it was awesome. I slept ok and feel so much better this morning. I hope everyone has a beautiful day, love you guys! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

2 things-

First: 53 days. Go me.

Second: to whoever told me to check in every day thank you. I would have said I didn’t really ever crave a drink when I started this. I was just a binge drinker like everyone else my age. :woman_shrugging:t2: and physically I don’t think I was addicted. But I just read back through 52 days of check ins and it’s CRAZY how many times my little check in said something was a trigger for me wanting to have a drink. Although I wasn’t physically addicted (which is what I think society expects when you say you have a drinking problem. Which is why everyone constantly told me I didn’t have one and I was just being dramatic or too hard on myself) I was emotionally addicted and DEFINITELY self medicating through a number of uncomfortable emotions and issues.

Aaaanywhoozle- thanks for reading and being so supportive yall. Youve been a big help.

Same here :wave: I was told I’m dramatic, I have no issue, everyone drinks, its fun to drink, blablabla.
I have a problem with my emotions and I use alcohol to not feel the way I have to feel to be able to heal.
It’s uncomfortable and I sometimes cry over the stupidest things!
I’m learning every day, some days are awesome, some are shit.
But whatever we go through we’re stronger and better when doing it sober :muscle:

I am forever grateful for everyone, wherever they are at on their journey, writing out what’s in their heads. It has helped me to understand myself so much better and put words to stuff I didn’t even realise I had going on.

Checking in day 31 without alcohol
I’m only almost 2 days without pot

Pots tricky esspesally when it’s legal. I go back and forth with weed thinking I’ll be fine with it never leads me anywhere; like no where. It either stalls me or brings me backwards.

Let’s keep moving forward even if the pace is a little slow
