Hey guys, its been awhile since ive checked in. This friday i had an accident at work, slipped and cut my rist open. They had to give a few stiches
Im also officially completely out of my toxic situation with my ex. She has finally moved out and im now living on my own. Still maintaining my sobriety and going to my treatment facility every friday. Still doing my weekly therapy. Trying to just stay as busy as i can to keep my mind off of the break up and being so alone now. So, next weekend im going to pick up the dog im adopting so i wont be out here in the middle of nowhere all by myself with just nobody. Shes a full blooded german shepherd. Im actually excited about this, ive been wanting a dog for awhile but havnt had the time for an actual pup so this opportunity presented itself and i jumped on it. Other than that, no complaints! Work is going pretty well, minus the accident. Hope everyone is doing well. The first picture is me at the doctors about my hand. 2nd picture is what they did to fix me up. 77 days sober!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m glad you got through it. An important reminder that we may not be where we want to be, but the work we do every day matters and it’s still so much better than where we’d be in active addiction

Thank you so much for your share! It was super helpful and a gentle reminder of how much damage we truly have inflicted on our bodies and that the longer we obstain from our addictions, the healthier our bodies will become.
I am greatful that you are doing well after your mini stroke and more greatful thatvit wasnt something more severe.

Good morning Billy
So thrilled to hear that you are finially free of your toxic relationship. I know that any break up even when its a toxic one can be developed and makes you feel lonely. This wont last for long.
Yeah on you for keeping up with your treatment facility and staying sober. 77 days - thats awesome
Awesome news on you getting your pup! So excited for you.

Wow this hit me hard. Thank u for sharing and i really hope that ur okay. I often wonder the damage that ive done to myself over 22 years of drugs use and am surprised i have come out of it as unscathed as i have (for the most part). Ive had a few moments myself (with regards to my weight) where i have been super concerned about health related stuff in recovery. Our lives are just so short in the grand scheme of things and its crucial that we take care of ourselves to the best of our ability. Ur post reminds me to continue looking after my health in recovery and to put more effort into it. Im so sorry that u had to go thru that 
that mustve been scary. Im glad ur okay!

Thanks for sharing what happened. It does sound like uv done alot of thinking about what happened and what could have been done differently. Whats super important is that ur not isolating after this (and potentially making ur relapse worse). Im glad ur not deleting the app. We are all here for u! Try and try again. The next time things get hard, pop on here and vent it all out sometimes just being around others who understand the struggle, helps alot. Hugs

Checking in
Day 434
This week has been pretty good. I have been vigilant on doing my morning recovery routine this past week which is good! Have had some using dreams tho. Struggled abit with my eating but have been exercising. Have experienced some anxiety and worry over certain situations that Ive really needed to rely on God for. And have taken care of all of my responsibilities. My mental health medication has been increased recently also and i have noticed a pretty big difference in my thinking and moods in such a short amount of time. So Im happy about that I also got a $2.50 raise at work which will be reflected on my next pay!! Im grateful for that. So things are cruising along nicely in recovery… sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly lol I usually hate being patient but things come to me when the time is right.
This weeks goals:
Health - Exercise 5x/week and eat around 1600 calories/day
Recovery - Do my morning recovery routine every day. Attend my Bible zoom group on Monday. Continue on with taking care of my responsibilities and also continue being an honest person (honesty in the sense of being honest with myself). Because recovery to me isnt just about quitting my addictions, its also about changing my old ways of thinking and behaving. I cant be acting or thinking in “old” ways. Thats not recovery for me.
Anyway… thats it for my weekly check in I hope everyone has an addiction free day!!

Progress not perfection. Im not seeing fast results and struggling with impatience. We have to remember we didnt get unhealthy overnight. The key is consistency

No I am Taurus. My mother is astrologer. I am doing Solar return. We are all zodiacs in one and our goal should be work towards all aspects. As we return to birth date we come back to zero point. That is Aries. A sacred fire witch then evolves and travels trough other aspects and ends in Neptune - Piecses.
Second check in
It’s a good day today. I went out biking, cleaned here and there, made a fresh meal with a lot of veggies and now I relax.
Laundry is done too.
I cooked enough for tomorrow so that’s done as well 
A short time ago I was laying on the couch almost the whole weekend, doomscrolling on my phone and completely wasting my time.
I knew it wasn’t healthy and I was able to change that 
Have a beautiful sober sunday friends, stay strong
