Just wanted to say that it always is good to read your progress when remembering your last relapse on and off story. You fought back and is awesome how far you’ve come.

Day 158
I’m on my way home, the day was good. Going to clean and eat when I’m home.
I’m still not in the mood to cook something nice for me, don’t know what that is 
Very rainy now, yesterday and this morning we had a rain-snow-mix. Unusual for the region where I live. Of course there was a bit of chaos everywhere.
That’s all for today 
I hope you’re having a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

Thank you, that means alot and I agree I was in such shambles and so confused I didn’t know how to get out of my relapse. But I’m glad I never gave up and I pushed and pushed and now I feel like I’m on the right path again. You guys are all such inspirations to me

Hi sober community! I’m on day 15 and I’m curious if other folks experienced “brain fog” or forgetfulness during early sobriety? Anyways thanks for sharing all your stories I feel less alone coming to this forum

@DryIn785 welcome back keep trying 
@FeelingBetter @liminal.rehab congrats both on your week 
@IA_Matt welcome back
@KevinesKay congrats on 5 months
940 days no alcohol.
405 days no cocaine.
27 days no vape.
Did a different walk this morning, to the shopping centre to stock up on orange, lemon and pineapple squash. Also managed to get a pair of Adidas joggers in my size, that match the lightweight hoody I wear for my walks when it’s a bit warmer. They were half price. Pleased with that.
Had therapy, I don’t like it at all, I’m not finding it therapeutic in the slightest, when I try to talk he just shuts me down like he’s not interested at all in me doing any talking. I won’t be continuing after the agreed 12 session contract ends, but I wish I could end it sooner. I guess until I have something else in place I should stick it out. I’ve emailed the charity I’m waiting for long-term therapy with, to ask my position on the waiting list as I believe it’s been 3 years nearly, I could be wrong though. It might be only 2 years. So that’s another year to get through if so.
I feel slightly better than yesterday, my mood is still very low, but I haven’t had suicidal ideation so far today, so that’s a relief.
I’ve done my meditations and walks, I’ve also done some of the booster sessions for my diabetes course. Now, TV time.

After a million day 1s, it’s finally sticking. I actually joined this site back in November 2021. Sober date of January 7, 2023. The IOP was a lifesaver. I’m also on here every day and started a daily gratitude practice. It’s been a lot of work to get here. And I’ll keep it up ODAAT.

Big congrats Karen! And yay to you! Here’s to persistence, to not giving up, to keep going one day and one try at a time! Just keep going and you’ll never be stopped.
@Markjackson IOP = intensive outpatient program, the words sort of explain what it is yes

Had a pretty good day. Did some prayer, mediation and self care for the first time in 2 weeks. Wrote a letter to my friend Theresa in prison on my laptop, took it via USB to print at the library and return some books.
Darn near killed me. 
Getting back was slightly easier. Didn’t have the weight of the books, but I had to detour to mail the letter. Wasn’t so long ago I could carry my 65L hiking pack across the city. Now, the library is challenging.
COPD is supposedly incurable, so it’s probably going to be like this the rest of my life. Still, trying to accept what I cannot change.
