Keep going. 60 days during a big move is a huge accomplishment. Be aware that when things settle down, for some it’s easy to relapse then, not during the actual stressful time.

Amazing work what a fantastic achievement @Scorpn 
I see you really active on here and it makes such a difference to early sobriety being around like minded people and it seems you are thriving! Keep going, you’ve absolutely got this

Day 1648.
Today ends my 3 week break from work and although I am looking forward to getting back to it, I always find that things start to get away from me a bit.
I’ve come up with a solid plan and schedule I think to make sure I’m still doing everything to keep me firing on all cylinders and hoping this time it works. I’ve meal prepped my lunches for the entire week so I don’t eat random crap during the day, which in turn makes me feel like shit for the rest of it. I’ve planned out my week of exercise around time with the daughter and wife so hoping I can fit it all in. Being self employed really does have its pitfalls as you are never really truly off the clock. It’s definitely time to put certain changes in place.
As for the rest of today it’s been the usual, family, exercise, fooling around and some jobs done round the house. It’s such a chilled atmosphere at home at the minute and I need to make sure it stays like that when everybody is back in school and work.
Loving everybodys checking lots of weeks completed, 90 day milestones. Absolutely fantastic work. Seems to be a lot of people just enjoying life on life’s terms which makes me happy 
I hope the new week brings you good times, make tomorrow the best Monday possible. Love to you all

We’re all glad to hear back from you.
And a big congrats on the 5 months SH free.
That’s a big deal. Any new learning experiences that you could share that helped you get to this point?
Anyways, 6 months is right around the corner. And I believe bigger and better things are heading your way. Thanks for sharing.

Sunday evening check in.
Started the yoga with adriene Center journey and am a couple of days behind but trying not to let that be a reason to be hard on myself. Better to try than not. Is anyone else here following along this year? There are normally a few kicking about the forum 
It feels like things are ramping up for me and I am trying not to get swept away with it all. Got to find a way of focusing without creating pressure. Participate meaningfully in activities and life without totally overloading and overwhelming myself. It feels like a hard balance to find. But that is all part of it I suppose.
I continue to be grateful for sobriety and the opportunity it has given me to see this stuff and at least try and find equilibrium.
Happy new year sober fam!

Finally home!
Days
90 substance free
7 self harm free
53 no restricting
I left my house at 545am (a little later then i should have)
And am finally home at 8pm.
I feel like all I’ve done is work recently. I know that’s not true. But i have worked 6 days this week and 5 of them were my shift plus extra hours. I’m pretty tired.
I suppose i can complain about it, or think that I’m too tired to want to do anything i shouldn’t be doing.

Checking in at the end of day 576. I was grateful for plenty of sunshine today. I went cross country skiing and now laying down quite sore and stiff! 
I hope everyone is doing well and has a great start to the new week!

I did drink kind of a lot of coffee today…
I think 9 espressos at work (maybe more) but for 13 hours i think it wasn’t too much. And i had my tiny cup of coffee from my new “toy” bialetti when i came home 
It’s so cute 
Now all i need to do is get ready for bed and hopefully I’ll be out like a light 
And thank you for the congrats 
I’ve been working really hard to make changes for the better.

Evening Check In
Day 329 Substance free
Day 7 Binge free
Work was good but tough. I managed tho. Came home and hubby was stressed from the day. Tried my best to help out and give him a break. I have been soing TONS of thinking today and I think im really ready to start looking at my “stuff” when it comes to relationships and intimacy. I never really thought that my past as a sex trade worker effected me so much in the present. I had such a warped view of relationships/sex and was soo extremely independent that it really distorted my views on what a healthy relationship is meant to be. Im ready to start letting go of all those ways of old thinking and realizing that the only person I have to be now is ME. Thats such a freeing yet powerful feeling. Im feeling very empowered right now. I feel like i can sort of let go of old thinking and basically become the person that i want to be. Someone open and vulnerable, someone who shows and accepts affection and is fun and healthy in many aspects. I know who i want to be as a woman. I just have to tear down that 20 foot wall and let people into my life more. I think this may be the next step of my journey in recovery. Will take baby steps to accomplish this.
Other than that, i am doing alright. Ready to tackle the upcoming week!
Hope everyone is having a great night!

Day 14 (Two weeks! Yay!)
Can’t believe I didn’t post yesterday. Almost didn’t post today. It’s not like I’ve been busy. I had my usual afternoon appointment with Brian yesterday, but mostly I’ve been just sitting around. This isn’t good. Lethargy, lack of motivation, not checking in; all are warning signs. I still have my morning ritual of prayer, meditation, breakfast. And cleaning little bits at a time. My original case manager is back from medical leave and we’re getting together tomorrow at 10. That’ll be good. But for now, I’m really tired and I promise I’ll do a more substantial check-in soon.
