Day 28. I did the gym. Went for a walk. Now I’m in work (I work from home) feeling a lot more relaxed today. Yesterday I wasn’t feeling great but tried not to overthink it and started today better
Hope you all have a good day

Day 15
So previously I said that I am sick and on antibiotics and have nothing much to say, but just look at this 
!!!
Two weeks already!!! I actually can’t remember when I reached two weeks before. Probably long long before. It’s very motivating and it helps a lot, I always struggled in the first days. Later it was getting harder and harder to stay at 3+ days. It always were getting just worse.
Pretty happy. Hitting 15 days, half month

Checking in day 139! Thank you @nick_1985 and @Butterflymoonwoman, your kind words really helped me yesterday. And everyone on this forum- reading here helps more than you know.
I’m feeling a lot better today. Me and my (now ex) partner were able to communicate a bit more this morning and seems like we can move through a separation amicably. He is having some trouble accepting this, which is ok because it’s so recent. I’ll just continue to take care of my side of the street and try to move through everything in a way that’s honest, as kind as possible (to myself and him), and that centers my sobriety.
I’m off work today and have a call with a friend, and then planning to get out for a cold hike. I hope you all have a beautiful sober Saturday!

Checking in Day 22
I passed my 3 week mark & I passed the court date without drinking. I haven’t been as productive the past few days. Tired from work and for some reason waking up after 3 hours of sleep the past couple of days, and finding it extremely hard to fall back asleep after being up for several hours. I hope I get some good rest tonight bc I have a lot of cleaning to do tomorrow on my last day off before they show up Tuesday to put down the sub-flooring.

Morning Check In
Day 342 substance free
Day 9 Binge Free
Morning TS Fam!! Currently on my way to work. This morning my brain has been on overdrive. Just thinking of things from my past that i havent thought of for decades. These memories just seem to pop up. I dont have the greatest memory honestly and i often feel like im missing pieces to complete the entire puzzle lol (memory of my past… not just thru my addiction but also as a child). All of this triggered me to feel something i havent felt in awhile… missing sex work. Dont ask me why or how these past memories triggered me. May be a combination of things, idk. Obviously i wouldnt return to that but i also hate it when i glamorize that lifestyle bcuz there is nothing good about it. This feeling will pass. Grateful that its been awhile since i have thought this. Sex work was very much an addiction on its own for me so i suppose like any other addiction, those thoughts occasionally will pop up. Anyway, thats what is on my mind lol my mind definitly feels like an internet browser with 15 tabs open with 3 of them that are frozen, and me not sure where the music is coming from lol 
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

142 days alcohol free
Day 0 for THC
I think sometimes when we talk about it in the morning and say we think that that the evening is going to be hard, it’s almost like we’re trying to justify the fact that we’ve already thought about making the choice to break sobriety (at least for me it seems to be that way) yesterday morning it was difficult I had an awful day but I didnt need to use.
I’m happy that I don’t crave alcohol anymore but I am still not liking being controlled by addiction and not being able to get through tough times without using anything. A low dose THC beverage definitely doesn’t affect me the same way alcohol does but it’s a substance none the less and I made it 5 days without. I’m already thinking “well maybe just on the weekends”… how does this addiction brain work with all aspects of life🤯
I’ll see how the day goes- feeling quite anxious this morning.
It really doesn’t help that my partner is still actively drinking and dealing with addiction himself and he justifies and enables my choices to use.
I know it’s not his fault- he doesn’t know that it’s hurting me as much as it is- but if I was with somebody who didn’t use at all I honestly feel like I could get through it better…but maybe -not so why bother thinking about it.

Its truly amazing how our addictive brains works eh? Ur already noticing that voice creeping up trying to tell u that u can moderate ur THC use or even to self sabotage ur day by thinking it will be a hard evening. I absolutely think ur right about how we preplan our justification to use thinking this event will be too hard or tonight will be too stressful. I guess thats why they often mention to just try and live in the moment 
Ur a fighter Miranda and i know ull get clean and sober from sll substances. I see that willingness and determination in u. Hugs!

894 days no alcohol.
359 days no cocaine.
9 days no binge-eating.
Slept quite well again, but was up bright and early, which I prefer. I had a good go at putting together the first set of drawers, but after going at it for 3 hours, I had to surrender to the fact that I need a drill, I couldn’t get the screws flush with the wood or drawer rollers. So I ordered a drill, it’s coming by 1pm tomorrow, so I’m hoping to get the first set finished tomorrow.
I also just went for a walk before coming here, for the first time in a few days. It was good to get out.
I can’t believe it’s been a week already since I last said this, but I’m looking forward to watching my favourite program tonight, The Masked Singer
I hope you’re all having wonderful sober weekends

Thanks Dana. I’ve obviously replaced alcohol with something else that I had never even used before instead of dealing with the real issue I’m using in the first place. I am determined though- your right. Thanks for your support as always♥️
