Day 41. Longish day at work, so I’m beat. Two months ago, I might have stayed up late drinking, but the idea doesn’t appeal to me now. Now, I look forward to the morning coffee, and I actually enjoy it more. Happy sober days to all and to all a good night.

Thank u so much! That is one of my simplier designs but the tiniest one i have done so far. My all time favorite was this one i did for my son for his 1st bday. Its 20" in diameter 
fox themed as his spirit name is fox.

Checking in on day 28. feeling incredible today. Had the energy to start making a real feasible plan for all the debt my addict self racked up it’s a big number, but so much more doable now that I am running those numbers with a clear mind. Plus, knowing I am saving HUNDREDS a week on booze/drgzzzz I feel confident in my abilities to stick it out.
Proud of everyone for making it another day with me.

Hi Scorpn,
I only know the basics of what I have read on this app for you and your partner but I will say this, no matter how hard it may seem to do, you owe it to yourself to set boundaries with anyone who is crossing them. No matter how much you love and care for someone, you have to love yourself first. (can’t pour from an empty cup ;))
Whether you send the message to them or not I am proud of you for writing out what is on your mind and making the choice to come here and talk to us instead of throwing away your awesome progress by picking up.
Keep going, you’re doing amazing. Sending hugs.

Day 819
Feeling a little down and sensitive. And guilty that I am feeling that way when I am very blessed, really. I sometimes feel I just suck at being happy, and appreciating what I have. Should probably get back on the gratitude thread or something. Have a good sober day/evening folks. If nothing else I will be sober today.

Evening Check In
Day 267
I am sooo ready for bed lol. All the caffeine i consumed thruout the day kept me awake and i didnt even nap. I think im on hour 37 of being awake. Ugh. Probably for the best tho so that it doesnt mess up my sleep tonight. We have our usual full time nurse in tonight for my son as well as a new nurse training. Will be happy to have another floater nurse around.
Health wise… i exercised well today and even ate well. So happy with that!
Recovery wise… all good here. Except today for some odd reason i ended up replaying a traumatic situation in my head. Like it was a tape in my mind. Had to physically tell myself to stop thinking about it to snap myself out of it. But other than that im okay. Grateful that using drugs doesnt even pop into my mind when experiencing intense emotion anymore
Thats about it for tonight! Hope everyone is doing well! Proud of everyone on here!

I added a bit with help from @Butterflymoonwoman (typed further down the thread this one’s on) and sent it and this is how he responded. I’m really happy that he’s open to talking about this issue with me instead of shutting down or getting defensive.

It’s ok to feel down sometimes. You can’t be happy all the time. As long as you don’t dwell on the negative for too long anyway.
I hope something makes you smile today. A beautiful view, a kind word, or a fond memory.
I’m sending positive energy your way

Checking In Day 10. Terrible day at work today but thankful I wasn’t hungover or too tired trying to deal with it. Have to learn how to start packing lunches too. I never really ate more than once a day. Now that I’m not getting all those liquid calories I’m actually hungry. And I carve sweets now too. Never ate candy before, but I have been craving Skittles and Snickers bars recently.
I’m really excited for Wednesdays meeting. I missed tonight and most likely won’t make it in time for tomorrow either cause of work.
Really clicked with a few of the ppl I met last week. Hopefully new friends and a new me will come from it.
