Day 347

Checking in, not that it’s worth anything, got nothing interesting to say so I suppose I’ll just leave it there.

Day 880 clean and sober. I don’t think it’s going to be very smart of me to go tent camping in 30 degree weather for 4 days so I’m going to switch my days off and rent a cabin for the next weekend instead. I did not do well hiking when it was 26 why the hell would I stay out in that kind of weather overnight??? Sounds like a dumb idea to me :rofl::rofl::rofl: It’s been raining like crazy here in California but is supposed to clear up tomorrow. Going to do some local hikes and try and reset that way. Have an amazing day everyone, love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Yay for day 6!!! That’s awesome!!

My favorite podcast that has helped me the most is Recovery Elevator. They interview real people with their stories…how it started to how it is now. People are anywhere from 30 days to 10 years sober. And there are a TON of interviews. It helped me to hear other people’s stories that I could relate to. Check it out!

Super proud of you for making it through another day. It’s pretty badass!

I’m so sorry you were struggling. I’m just trying to catch up on this post and I’m way behind…I don’t want to jump to far ahead and lose my place but I hope to see some other posts from you and I hope your are feeling a bit better now.
I have dealt with depression and I can’t believe I’m where I am today. I never thought I would be in a better place but I am. You can get though this. I’m glad you are taking these steps with your therapist and starting some new ideas for treatment. Thinking of you

:high_brightness: Morning Check in :high_brightness:
Day 269
Had a pretty interuppted sleep last night but :coffee: is helping this morning. Not doing much today other than some cleaning, exercise, phone calls, and budgeting for my paycheque tmrw. Thats about it. Going to make time for some meditation also to see if that helps me in the evenings. I think my stress level builds up throughout the day and then by the time the evening rolls around, its almost at max level lol so im going to try and interrupt that pattern with meditation.
Hope everyone has an addiction free day

Checking in day 66! Didn’t rest as much as I wanted yesterday, so hoping to do that today. Will also get to the gym and handle a couple chores. I have a full day off with no meetings or clients which is a rarity- I’m actually looking forward to it. Even though I’ve been feeling pretty tired for a few days, I’m somehow still feeling way way more mentally alert and present than I have in a long time.

I’m glad you made it and that you’re safe and sound now. :mechanical_arm:

Thank you for the post. I don’t know if we already have a thread about non-alcoholic drinks - I believe we have -, but it would be nice to have one.

I try also to buy a lot of different non-alcoholic drinks to get in a better mood.
