@2JTravNZ Congrats on your 8 months. Very impressed - keep up the great work! 
@TheWolf that’s huge – sleeping well, planning for your sobriety during a get together. Hope you have a fantastic time with your family. Super excited for your daughters football match tomorrow – HAVE FUN!
@Matt you are doing great! I’m not sure when the urges and that stupid addict voice will go away but we need to buckle down and ignore it. Are you able to get to your go to activities to keep your mind active (so you can hopefully ignore the sensations)? We are here when the voices get too loud – keep up the fantastic work! You can overcome this addiction.
@Kareness I am sorry you are going through this – hang in there my friend – it does get easier. Do try to find time for your meetings. The isolated feeling can become overwhelming and can take over. All new positions take time getting used to – hopefully you’ll get the routine down soon enough. Do not let it consume you. I do hope work gets easier.
@SoberWalker Beautiful streetart picture! Congrats on your sober journey and certainly be proud of you today and from this day forward. Try not to focus on where you failed (except to know that it happened and what you learned from it) and not to focus on the future as nothing is certain. You are kicking ass today!
@Mno Wishing you the best of luck with your group therapy today. I know the feeling of wanting to run and hide rather than face something but then you are giving that thing more power and it gets harder to face it. You are stronger than you think and can tackle this obstacle too. Again – sending you strength my friend.
@anon53116147 Have a blast this weekend with your girls. I know it’s hard but don’t focus on what others may or may not say – walk proudly in your home town. You are improving yourself and that’s HUGE! College can be scary at any stage / state – Keep moving forward and do go to college as you’ve planned for yourself. You will conquer this too.
@Billy85 Man Billy I’m sorry your week has been so tough. I know you keep trying to reach out to your ex and help her or just looking out for her but at this point you may just need to cut all ties (at least till you get yourself fully grounded). She is not ready to leave her addiction and being around her will only drag you in as well. That sucks that she would jeopardize your work – I’m really sorry. You are doing great and I do hope that the therapy session helps you out today. ODAAT is fucking right! You’ve got the strength to keep moving forward
@Time2Live84 30 days my friend – that’s fantastic!!! Don’t focus on how many times you may have come to this number – you are here now and with a new attitude and thirst for life! You are doing great and keep checking in here – we are all in this together.
Checking in – feeling a bit loopy / lost and super tired. Not sure if lack of sleep, overall emotional struggles or what? I wanted to add something to my coffee this morning but luckily my brother was in the kitchen and I couldn’t do in front of him— DAMN (that was close). Well, I’m breathing deeply and I feel like I’ve had a few too many close calls lately and that is unsettling. Thank god they were not relapses but I do need to figure out why I’m getting this close to the edge. Well – off to do more work fully sober! Have a wonderful day my friends. 
im keep going!!
I’ve just seen your today post and I’m glad it’s been a better day for you 
) I do plan to find time for me over the weekend and not over work myself. I haven’t had any urges since this morning so that is awesome. Was planning to take a walk after work but the light drizzel became more steady and a bit of a chill in the air so put on my sweats and fired up the TS site and now just relaxing while watching tv in the background … hope everyone is having / had a great FRIDAY!
Wishing everyone a peaceful weekend
