Congratualtion to one full sober week!
Hi @FarFromNormal and @Mno ! So happy to see you here and doing well. LOVE to see it, really. I do miss popping on here and checking in. Maybe if I re download the app it will make me think about it more often.
Iāve missed you all as I have not been reading much or checking in but I will be on here daily again starting today
Iām happy to say Iām still alcohol free(138 days) BUT I am now struggling with another addiction.
It started off slowly but began to snowball quickly.
I just feel like itās been one thing after another in life and I would love to be 100 percent sober. I did make a point on my last few check-ins to say Iām alcohol free and knew I couldnāt say I have been truly sober. Honestly Iām so proud of quitting alcohol after struggling for so many years,but It was a couple of months ago(or maybe me like a few) I started using CBD gummies which really seemed to help me, but then I thought I could just try a low dose THC/CBD combo. Now Iām drinking THC CBD drinks practically every night. Itās affecting me. My addict voice is taking over. I need to stop. I will take it one day at a time. Thanks for listening.
(Also if anyone can explain to me how to add another ātrackerā to the home screen id love to know how to display a new start the this while still keeping my counter for alcohol. Thx)

Morning TS fam! Im currently at the hospital working, waiting for my shift to begin. Slept half decently last night so Im not super tired today. Been working hard on my virtual challenges. Its been very motivating for me to get my workouts in and to complete other daily goals that i have for myselfā¦ all working towards these medals at the end. Im hoping overtime i will begin to see some longer lasting effects of my hard work
My son goes back to school tmrw. Im excited but nervous at the same time. Excited to get a bit of time for me which im really feeling like i need. But nervous to have him away from me. I feel like my trust issues are back but i know he has a good team of teachers and medical staff to support him.
I guess other than that theres not much going on. Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
@Juli1 Iām trying to visualise myself going back to the pool, itās the changing room part that blocks me, if I had a private pool Iād be in it multiple times a day
@PinkyP Iāve always liked Ant and Dec, but no, my favourite program is The Masked Singer

888 days no alcohol.
353 days no cocaine.
3 days no binge-eating.
A quiet and peaceful day today. I managed to get out for a walk before it got dark, after missing it for 4 days, so Iām pleased about that.
I hope youāve all had wonderful sober weekends
Checking in day 133! I had a great day yesterday. Spending time with a close friend was so, so helpful. Also I finally talked to my parents about my partner who has been struggling and is now in rehab (Iām one of those lucky enough to have very supportive parents)- they really helped me put things into perspective and feel less guilt if I leave this relationship (which feels likely).
I work today which is not usual for a Sunday, but I donāt mind. I can only imagine how annoyed id be if I was still drinking Instead, Iāve already been to the gym and cooked my meals for the day.
Have a super sober Sunday friends!
Way to go on completing ur walk! Hope ur weekend is going well!
is the name of an art supply store in the US! I never new it was the name of a city in the Netherlands.
Itās raining today in San Diego. Not something we are used to here. I have my womenās meeting in the park at 12:30 and hope it wonāt be raining then.
Way to go buddy youāre doing fantastic
Checking in at 4 months sober! the next milestone Iām aiming for is sober vacation.

My anxiety is high right now. I dont understand WHY i dont feel comfortable working here on the mental health unit. I literally struggle with this every time im here. I have gone over this in my head many times and have come up with very few answers. My shift has been very quiet. My client has been in the seclusion room all shift due to threatening staff and being argumentative. I tried to talk with her but she wasnt wanting me near her. I cant wait to go home to my family and to relax. I need my mind and body to calm.
Hello everyone! Being sober has changed my life, completely. Today is a great day to be alive. Almost a month clean. I donāt do this for anyone, I donāt do this to impress anyone, I do this for me. Iām becoming stronger and healthier everyday. Remember that there is hope and to believe in yourself. Do what youāre suppose to do. Love you all
Day 456 AF
Whatās up, gang.
Celebrated my bday on Friday the 13th, I turned 34. It was chill. Had dinner at the in-laws. I havenāt been triggered to booze. Everythingās going good right now. Watched some football yesterday. My team didnāt get the dub, but itās ok. It has been raining here. Not doing much but watching movies and playing video games with the kiddos. I ran out for some foodies.
Have a great day yall.
Congrats on 4 months!
Thank you Worked helped a lot for a distraction. Feeling much better now & Iām prepared that it may happen again as the date gets closer. I think it just caught me off guard and put me in a tailspin for a bit.
Its always a good day when I see you post!
Wow!!! So good to see that ur still doing well. Congratulations on almost 6 years of recovery! Thats impressive and inspirational!
So glad to see you are doing so well. Proud of you! YOU are such an inspiration to me.
