Morning Check in
Day 280
Really feeling this number today. Thought i had potentially caught that cold but Im feeling okay today! Thankfully. Just on my way to work. Really wanted to stay home. Almost didā¦ but unless i have a good reason not to, i really should āadultā. Got the Christmas tree decorated with my boy last night. Can you tell what part my son did? 
He said Santa will love it!!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Thank you 
i think its the time of year as well and teying to stay emotionally strong it just cones out in other ways either mentally or physically. Im try to suppress what needs to come out.
Your tree looks amazing too

Checking in day 77! Slept in, and still tired. Though I can tell Iām still on the upswing from this coldā¦ feeling optimistic Iāll feel better for the busy week of work and Thanksgiving ahead.
Had another dream about alcohol last night (third night in a row). Again I turned it down in my dream, but it was really stressful considering whether or not I wanted to (I was also in Vegas in the dream so temptation city haha). Anyway, hoping my subconscious gets that out of its system because Iām ready to dream about something else.

Second check in, day 527. Made the kids crepes for breakfast. Trying to keep warm, as it is currently 15F/-9C outside 
Sorry to hear about the difficult dreams @Twizzlers and @MooseTracks . Dreams can really be jarring and set the tone for the day.

Day 280
I just recently did a check in but wanted to check in again bcuz i cant believe how angry i got over someone insensitive comment on fb. On one the pages i belong to, there was this woman asking for help in locating something she lost. This man responds with such an insensitive comment and then begins to throw her kids into the comment by stating she should more responsible before having kids and birthing human beings. I normally pick my battles with people but i couldnt let this slide. Ended up having a conversation with this man on the group page. I surprisingly wasnt rude (especially with how disgusted i was with him) but i told him what i thought about being a decent human people and having compassion and maybe attempting to have some people skills. I was so upset over this for some reason! I literally had to end the conversation and then do 20 min of deep breathing and body scans to calm myself down. I cant be doing this and getting myself worked up. This wasnt even my issue. I couldve not responded to his inital comment to the OP and gone about my merry way. For whatever reason i decided to jump in on this (along with many others i might add bcuz he upset alot of people on there). Im so done with social media for today lol ugh

Day 101 AF!
Wow! I canāt believe I made it over 100 days! Iām so proud of myself! Thanksgiving is in a few days and Iām not even anxious about not drinking or being around people drinking. Iām going to enjoy myself and leave if it becomes too much! Iāve came a long way but still have a long way to go! Iāve been debating about trying to drink socially but Iām nervous so Iām just going to continue not drinking for now! Thanks so much for all of you. Your encouragement and journeyās definitely keeps me going. Everyone have a blessed sober Sunday!

121 days free from alcohol
102 days free from toxic relationships
12 days regular eating
Had a relaxing Sunday with family, laughing, good food and a lot of naps. 
āRest dayā today despite of a real small walk by the river. Tired already, trying to do nothing more that could excite me.
He tried to call againā¦
Whatās misunderstood after over 100 days? 
Will start new work week with another inner attitude. Keeping away from negative people and taking care to not dissociate by having a walk for lunch break, eating and drinking regular. Will be at office for three days and 2 days at homeoffice. Will write a little meal and sportsplan I can lean on.
Hugs

@Scorpn wow that is a lot of stress for one day, let alone with only 2hrs of sleep! Bless you. Virtual hug offered, and I hope today has been atleast a little kinder to you, but preferably a lot kinder! 
Congrats on 40 days without substances 
@JDHealing congrats on 40 days
@Lovelylisha congrats on triple digits 
@Juli1 can you disable the function that notifies you when youāve had calls from blocked numbers? Or even better, change your number like I had to recently. Itās such a breath of fresh air not getting unwanted calls or texts. 
832 days no alcohol.
297 days no cocaine.
Just got home from a 2 hour walk in the dark, it was for a mission on the Pokemon game I play, but atleast it got me out for some exercise.
I woke up today with the migraine lingering, but some pain killers, white tiger balm, and a nap definitely helped, it hasnāt been so disabling today and now it seems to have gone away.
Almost time for Iām a celeb which I enjoy watching
I hope youāve all had wonderful sober weekends.

Thank you for this ideaā¦
I canāt change to not receiving a notification that there was a call or message in the background. Was searching in various forums, but you canāt totally stop it, I think. Itās a Huawei mate 20. Will give it a last chance tomorrow.
If notā¦ Itās an idea for sure to change the number! Because itās triggering subconscious. 
Hope you are doing better!
I love tiger balm although it smells a bit weird
Atm i am using a pain oil, called Aconit from Wala, very nice.

1057 days substance free
577 days self injury free
193 days sugar free
I canāt believe itās been over 6 months since I have eaten sugar, crazy shit. My sugar cravings have gone away except of course when my cycle comes, then itās on like donkey kong. My only saving grace is knowing why itās happening and that it will pass.
These last few months have been different then the summer month had been. I am being challenged by life in a bunch of different ways. I am grateful that nothing seems too much to handle though, and that is simply because itās all out of my hands anyways. What a novel idea hey? When you turn your life over to your HP, you get to turn all the shit that comes along with it over too. I am just keeping myself in check by doing what I know I need to daily to keep myself clean; stay connected, give selfless service, pray and meditate as much as needed, hit meetings and stay in my own lane. Itās working so far so I think I will keep on doing it. Somedays I canāt look past an hour, and that isnāt because I want to get loaded itās just because an hour is all I have in me that day. I am not ashamed to go hour by hour when I have to, I am an addict and I will always be an addict in recovery who needs do whatever it takes to stay on the right tracks. I have found this feeling inside me that I dont ever want to lose, itās probably serenity.
