@Hazy welcome back congrats on 24hrs
850 days no alcohol.
315 days no cocaine.
Not long been home from my day of travelling to and from my final therapy session. It was a great session, and I’m very sad that that’s it, I’ll never see or speak to this man, who’s been in my life, listening to me for the past year, again. I’ll be okay. Need to stay contained. My subconscious is hovering around age 13-15 when I was already an alcoholic, drinking heavily every day, and experiencing parental, sexual, and domestic abuse. I need to be the parent to the young Cam now, we are safe now.

Checking in on day 3 cannabis free!
Reading the info on cannabis withdrawal, I really thought today was going to be awful but I’m THRILLED to say I think I’ve gotten past the worst physical symptoms.
I have therapy soon and I’m excited to tell my therapist about my quitting and to talk about all of this more. I’ve been very ashamed and secretive so it will be a big step to admit that I have a problem, but at least I can follow up with “but I’m working on it,” which I could not do before.

These words about the team spirit are inspiring me.
I have to deal with cravings since last weekend, didn’t have some for a long time.
Tonight after yoga it was a strong craving for 2 bottles of wine again.
I think i can manage it, but I am a bit afraid of it and worrying where it comes from.
Maybe didn’t really fulfill my needs over the last weeks.
Greetings to the Team

I can feel my body again as he was proved at the yoga session. Good mix with a deep meditation.
Not sure how things are going on.
But tomorrow it’s my last day at work before 4 weeks of holiday.

Checking in day 95! Got to the gym, had therapy, had a meeting, and at work now. I feel like I’m really starting to feel the positive effects of not drinking-
My mood and energy levels have been way up. Hope this keeps up

Evening check in.
It has been a busy day dealing with the kids, arranging for kitchen appliances to be delivered for next week when we have a new kitchen fitted, and also lunch with a friend I haven’t seen since last December.
I bottled 6 litres of ginger kombucha last night so that it’ll be good to drink over the festive period. I used fresh ginger root so I’m expecting a very fiery result.
I’m pleased to say that my mood has been really fine lately. I can see that I’m coping well with challenges that would have triggered my anxiety in the past. I’m coming up on a year since I stopped taking the anti depressants and I’m feeling good about that.
Time to go to bed now.

i am so so so so sick of being so lonely. I’m alone. and it’s all my fault. i can never keep friendships or relationships. i have my best friend who lives 24 hours drive away. i have my grandpa and that is it. I’m living in a house where I feel hated. I’m so sick of it

Craving a glass of wine and a cigarette. I guess quitting both was a tough choice but i decided it was enough with the alcohol at the same time my husband decided to quit smoking and i knew i wanted to quit smoking too but it wouldnt work if he still smoked so it seems im on the wagon for both. Wish me luck.

Congratulations on how far you have come! Not all days are good day. Maybe practice some self care, do something that makes you feel happy. One day at a time.

I’m sorry you feel lonely. You do have this community. I find this is the only place I can be heard and understood when it comes to addiction/sobriety. Stay strong
