I think today is 85 days sober. Having a tough time today. Lonely…my adult sons mostly come by if they need money. Slogging thru med. Appoints. Bothers me they are not offering to help with rides. I just kind of hurt inside.

[Noshame]

Day 28 no marijuana
5months 27 days no alcohol

Today was kinda messy
Lots of cravings today
I’m happy i didn’t give in so I have to remember that

I’m just getting sick of the cravings.
I don’t want pick up because I know it’s wrong. I just wish I felt more relaxed
I think I just need to be more patient

[JazzyS]

Hey Mark – I’m sorry you are having a rough day! Wish you had more support near you.
Wish you could ease the hurt inside. I’m sending you hugs and comfort my friend

[Markjackson]

Hey y’all. I’ve been lost in my own little world of problems this past week (well, since Saturday) and i have neglected really reading and catching up on all of your journeys.

I am just here to say, you all are awesome for continuing on especially when you’re having a hard day or enduring cravings.
And i am proud of each and every one of you for your determination to keep going! One day at a time

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.

Slept a bit better, despite some very vivid dreams. One we go, it’s one day at a time for all of us. We’re in this together
@Scorpn Glad to see you friend. Proud of you.
@Salkasvan Welcome to TS Salka! Big congrats on 30 days lady!
@KarenKW Big win Karen! Yay you!
@Cjp You made me think of my own little hike in GC 5 years ago, hence the pic from Bright Angel looking at Tonto trail. Thanks!

@Catmama23

I don’t have control over most anything, but I can make choices. I can set priorities. I can have boundaries. I can stay aware of my body, my mind, my emotions. I listen to them. And I act.

That right there Catmama. Big hugs.

Day 32. Trying to eat healthier. Exercised and tracked my meals. A good, productive, sober day.

[Noshame]

Had a tough day today mentally
But I mad it to 20 days no marijuana
And 5months 29 days no alcohol
My counters went up just a few minutes ago

Both my counters are so close to a pretty awesome milestone
Very happy I’m posting this

Me and the wifey have both been struggling with cravings
She has over a year with no alcohol and quite a few days longer then I do for marijuana

She’s been a really good support for me and I love her so much for that

All of you have been extremely supportive also

I get a lot of amazing tips and advice even from the posts that aren’t made by me

Let’s keep it up
And keep coming back

I started with Yoga Nidra yesterday Awesome! It’s like he said, you have to train it like a muscle to get better at it. It helped me to calm my mind down.
Also I tried to not use too much light after sunset, I have a lot of candles that work with batteries.
And I’ll have my first coffee later now.
We’ll see how that all turns out.

Day 214

Woke up with a leg cramp this morning Please don’t let this be SUCH a day again. Yesterday was enough.

I changed some dayly processes to improve my sleep naturally, without taking any meds. I want to feel rested in the morning again. I’m tired this morning but I feel much better than I did yesterday morning…except the hurting leg from the cramp.

Now off to work, it’s going to be 3 long days because of the server crash we had friday. The work we couldn’t do that day needs to be done eventually. Meh.

Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

[Binx]

Wow wow wow! Thank you for writing this your post was very relatable, and inspirational!

Any sort of stress is a major trigger for me too. You have processed that stress and managed it beautifully. Sorry to hear about the panic attack though, on occasion, I get them too. Not pleasant, but you’re right, not the end of the world.

We just sold our house (I had a slip up over that), and are now in the process of looking for somewhere new. Trigger central!

I just want to say well done to you for navigating this so well, and congratulations on your new home, enjoy it!!

[Binx]

Sorry to hear this Mark

Would you consider asking them out straight for some help? I mean, you help them often enough. They aren’t so old they can’t be taught something. There’s not much in this life that is free. If they want something from you, let them work for it!

Day

Finally!!!
4 Weeks!!! Longest in long time.
The People’s Champ is back!
If You smellllllllll what The Rock is cooking?

Don’t be shy, hit that like button I am well worth it

Day 1 (cigarettes) again that was so silly slip. Yesterday my truck got stuck into mud, actually managed to pull it out on my own and said to others something like watch and learn ( that was real swag time ) anyway emediatly after my back whells got stuck into mud I picked up cigarette without even thinking about

I was doing so good, did not smoked whole week. Only smoked that small 15 minutes cigar on Friday. You know that ¼ of the regular one or ½ of that 30-45 minute one. You know the one that is ½ half of the regular one that is about… agrhhh forget about it

It’s actually Day 2 already

Day 6

Checking in sober from:
-alcohol
-toxic relationships
-eating drama

I feel a change in my mind regarding sobriety.
I don’t have cravings and I realy realy feel the strong need to recover!

And I feel the need to get some new sleeping dresses. To be honest I used to fall asleep in my sporty free time clothes. But I want to change clothes for sleeping now… To recover better. To have a better sleep. And yeah thanks @Sabrina80 reminding me to watch Felix video once more.

Still having holiday, will have to bring some things out of the house from decluttering actions. And then do some grocery shopping. Think I will joyn a shopping center and buy some sleeping dress. Funny priorities

If the need to drink comes… Split screen method helped sooo good during my 5 clean months. And just sitting down and breath. And just… Driving streight home after evening activities! My home is always clean and there is no shop you can reach by walking.

So long, my morning thoughts.

Much love

Slept for 10 houres! Happy to feel my energy flowing again.
Having a great very unhealty breakfast right now. There are a lot of healthy choises I could have made but I didn’t. I ate all I wanted.
Today? An easy day at the pool and maybe visiting a village in the evening. Nothing we must do.
Wearing my sober date pendant: a golden moonfase pendant with my sober date at the back. The moonfase is exact the one from my day 1 at that time. A good token to remember myself I am sober and want to stay that way, even on a holiday.

See you tomorrow TS people
