I’m sorry you’re struggling Rob, I can’t imagine how hard this time of year must be for you. That is incredible that you were able to move out and get your own space, I’m sure that is a really overwhelming change and I hope it gets better with time.
We were all thinking about you everyday and I can’t tell you how relieved I am that you came back. I missed my sober twin!! proud of you man
Morning Check In Day 380
Plans for this clean and sober day is to get my son on the bus for school, do some laundry, exercise (45 min of cardio along with back and biceps), grab a smoothie from Booster Juice for lunch, go to the pharmacy to pick up our medications, and do some cleaning here in the apartment. I also want to incorporate a meditation and of course prayer.
Hoping everyone has an addiction free day!
Not checked in for a while but I’m still here and still sober.
I feel like i should share more but by the same token I don’t feel like what I have to say matters or will make a difference so I’ll stick to a simple congratulations to everyone who is still fighting the fight.
I feel better and better every day. So many of my daily aches and pains I attributed to getting older and considered as “this is just how I feel now” are beginning to ease up and heal. Mentally I feel clear headed to a point I didn’t know was possible.
And this is just the beginning…!
This group means so much to me and its an honor to share this road and journey with all of you
We’re all on our own roads but at the same time we do it together right here and that’s how this place works. You never know what your share might mean to another soul. We’re here for ourselves in the first place but by being here and sharing our stories, or maybe just by our presence, we create this special place with and for each other. Thanks for checking in Richard.
Checking in day 177! Work stayed quiet last night which was much needed. Went to the gym this morning and have therapy in a bit. Then I have a few sessions for my part time job- should hopefully be a pretty chill day. Planning to have some me time tonight.
Great to hear you are feeling better! I kno what you mean about getting older and wondering what’s normal. Im just starting to feel better after 22 days. I too am grateful for this ts community.
Thank you and congrats on your 22 days! our bodies are amazingly capable of healing themselves once we give them the chance. Awesome to witness it first hand and I am glad you are feeling better too! One day at a time, onwards and upwards!
Day 150
Food is cooking, I’ll hop in the shower, then dinner, then some me-time
I feel pretty exhausted today. Didn’t sleep well the last 2 days and yeah, the cold I had may be the reason. For some ppl the exhaustion lasts longer than 1 week. Yippie
It was a good day
I hope you’re having a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong
@Teresa.13 congrats on your improved health @SoberWalker I hope this sweet one is a good fit for you @ChristopherP welcome congrats on 65 days I’m glad you found us @KellyKelly congrats on all the 3s @Seb welcome back congrats on 2 days @Catmama23 congrats on your week @Sabrina80 congrats on 150 days @Noshame congrats on double digits
932 days no alcohol.
397 days no cocaine.
19 days no vape.
2 days no binge-eating.
Very relieved to say; I didn’t binge yesterday, and I haven’t binged today! Cautiously optimistic again.
Did my morning walk. Had therapy, which I found very frustrating and unhelpful this week, will take it as part of the process for now.
Found out today that my Dad and his family have had Covid recently, and he has been bed bound with a bad back for 8 days. He’s determined to go to London for his youngest step-son’s graduation tomorrow, so I am worried about him, but do understand he wants to be there.
Need to stay focused now. “Meteorologically” it’s the first day of Spring tomorrow, as advised by my therapist when I said it was 20th March, as that’s what Google told me! So hoping for some warmer weather so I can start back at the gym, it’s a bit too cold to walk there in shorts and t-shirt at the moment, and I don’t want to go in the changing rooms for the time being.
Day 52. The struggles continue. Second day of some kind of digestive illness. Trying to drink plenty of water and eat bland foods but feel awful. It’s just adding to my feeling of being completely overwhelmed by everything life is throwing at me lately. So the depression is bad. It’s a beautiful day out and I’m stuck in the bathroom. I guess I’m just feeling extra sorry for myself today.
Hey I’m happy your still here, what you have to say definitely matters. You should share if you want to, id want to hear it. You have a pretty epic chunk of sobriety there and that’s worth sharing.
