Yay for day 6!!! Thatās awesome!!
My favorite podcast that has helped me the most is Recovery Elevator. They interview real people with their storiesā¦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 peopleās stories that I could relate to. Check it out!
Super proud of you for making it through another day. Itās pretty badass!

Iām so sorry you were struggling. Iām just trying to catch up on this post and Iām way behindā¦I donāt 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 canāt believe Iām where I am today. I never thought I would be in a better place but I am. You can get though this. Iām glad you are taking these steps with your therapist and starting some new ideas for treatment. Thinking of you

Morning Check in
Day 269
Had a pretty interuppted sleep last night but 
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! Didnāt 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- Iām actually looking forward to it. Even though Iāve been feeling pretty tired for a few days, Iām somehow still feeling way way more mentally alert and present than I have in a long time.

Iām glad you made it and that youāre safe and sound now. 
Thank you for the post. I donāt 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.

821 days no alcohol.
286 days no cocaine.
The professional was here for 45mins, he tried everything but the stain could not be removed. I felt so sick about it, so I emailed the estate agents straight away, I offered to sign something saying Iād replace the master bedroom carpet when the time came that I leave, but they replied thanking me for telling them and said weād deal with it on check-out, so to say Iām relieved is a massive understatement!
I was mentally and emotionally exhausted after the guy left and Iād dealt with telling the estate agents, so some cravings came up for my vape (that I havenāt used for 6 days) ((Iām on NRT only)) and also for a takeaway (that I havenāt had for 54 days), but instead, I forced myself into a nap, it took forever to fall asleep but I did eventually, and the cravings had subsided when I awoke.
Iāve now started the new season of Peaky Blinders, so thatās exciting as I love this show.
My brother is coming in a couple of hours to collect some items I ordered on his behalf for his wifeās bday this weekend, and Iām going to ask his advice about a DIY project my landlord has agreed to with strict conditions, Iām not sure if itās going to be possible but my brother will know, for sure.

Day 3. I want to write, but I donāt know what about. Day 3 is the very beginning, I did it so many times. This time I donāt want to focus on the counting. I focus on my moment here and now and how my feelings are. Today they are wavey, I have to admit. Quick up and downs. Itās difficult to admit this because I want to be tough and stabil. But thatās me, this crazy feeling human being.

Day 8ā¦ feel very weak and shakey today. Going to slow down and job search. I wonāt go back to my high stress insane work anymoreā¦ it drives me to numb myself out. I am not mentally or physically equipped to handle the amount of stress ls or hours anymore, but I am also broke and have 37 cents to my name after the last two years of downfall. So Iām searching for something more meaningfulā¦ problem is cost of living is sky rocketing here and all the āmeaningfulā to me stuff Iām finding pays less than a living wageā¦ so Iām searching. Very confused on what to do. Still sober.
