Hi everybody.
Iām here after 1 year long relapse (after being sober for 2 years). Been trying since beginning of December, but canāt seem to go further than 3-14 days.
I remembered that Iāve been active in this community in my early sober days 3 years ago. So Iāll give it a try once again

Why do you feel the pressure? Maybe, because you have to plan it or it blocks time for other things?
You āonlyā do it for yourself and for no-one else.
All first steps can be daunting. As you said, give it a try.

Morning Check In
Day 383
Good morning TS fam! Today i am feeling exhausted. I think all of the exercise ive been doing lately has finally caught up to me.
Not much is on the agenda today. Just a good grocery shop this morning and then rest. May try to attempt a workout but we will see how i feel after groceries.
Hope everyone has an addiction free day

Closing in on the six months mark, and noticing some recurring thoughts about drinkingānot that I want to drink, thoughts about when I did drink that drive shame and self-loathing and sadness and hopelessness. That makes it sound more dire than it really is, actually. Itās more that the mental health issues I have tend to manifest in these sort of obsessive thoughts that drive anxiety/depression spirals that contribute to relapses. I wanted to put this somewhere, to recognize it and call it out and jump the curb on before I go any farther down this road and I figured this was a good enough place to do it. The weather is warming and my last epic relapse was the past summer, so as I begin to think with hope of all the fun spring and summer activities itās reminding me of all the terrible terrible choices I made and making me feel kind of shitty.

Checking in day 180! According to the app thereās still a few days til my 6 months, but almost there Iām dog sitting for a friend so had to get up and move early today after a late night of work, so feeling sleepy today. The group I ran at work yesterday went well and I feel really good about it. Got asked to do a little presentation on Monday morning, and I appreciate being seen for these opportunities.
Going to trudge myself to the gym in a bit, have a client for my part time job, then work 12 hours. Not the ideal Friday but im off all weekend. Hope you all have a fantastic sober Friday!

Because I have a lot of other things to do 
I knowā¦ I have to take it serious.
Further pressure because I know I am in danger, but my addictive mind tells me I can do it without this meeting thing.

Great place to put this Jenny.
Iām a firm believer in milestone malady. It didnāt make me want to drink either. But Iād get depressed around just before 6 months, 9 months; And that 300 day mark really fucked with my head even though I knew it was milestone malady. That addictive brain is fighting back. I just kept going easy on myself. As long as I hit the pillow sober it was a great successful day. Even if I didnāt get anything done besides walking my dogs and feeding the pets.
Keep up the great work.
We got your back.

Day 2
I could sleep all day!
Yesterday I had 2 sport sessionsā¦
will head to the pool tonight again as itās closed Saturday and Sunday due to an event.
So i will do some home workout and yoga on weekend.
I will just go on napping, until I go to my swimā¦
And lay down afterwards again.
I am taking my vitamin b complex and a supplement for the gut microbiom.
Magnesium and vitamin d of cause.
Eating healthy, drinking enough.
The symptom gets worse with every relaps.
