1052 days no alcohol.
517 days no cocaine.
32 days no vape.
6 days no binge-eating.

I woke up naturally, before my alarms this morning, did my morning routine, showered, and got to the bus stop in plenty of time :raised_hands:t2:

Today’s courses were good, I can’t remember much, but thankfully they give out worksheets at the end with what was covered, that’s good for me with my short-term memory issues, and means I can refresh myself in preparation for the next sessions next week.

Tomorrow I have 2 online courses, one at 10am, the other at 6:30pm, so I’m looking forward to the time in-between to decompress, and I’m hoping I can get both of my walks in.

@Butterflymoonwoman congrats on 500 days! This is so great :heartpulse: I’m not too far behind you :grin:


Some cool numbers today. I’m working from home, currently trying to will myself out of bed to go to the gym but it’s SO cold. It’s so much easier to bounce out of bed when the sun rises earlier and it’s warm. I’m such a baby about winter haha.
Have a wonderful day everyone, stay strong :sparkles:

Proud of my 14 days. Some mornings I still have slight legs sweats, but I think it’s because it’s really hot in Texas these days. ODAAT

Thank you for caring, your care and insights have been really helpful to me in my journey.I hope one day I can pay it back.

I’ve had a terrible relationship with alcohol since I was 14. Until 17 weeks ago (26 years later) I never tried to change that. Course I claimed I was trying to my loved ones but I still felt the same about my DoC.

All I was trying to say was that for the first time ever I am on the right path and if I can do it, the door is there for others

22 days AF. Was a pretty good day but hectic. I woke at 4am with some anxiety and meditated until I got up. Met my sponsor at a meeting this morning to get my “brain washed” (cleaning/resetting my thoughts :wink:) and then exercised. Then knocked out some work stuff… funny how it’s easier to keep track of projects when I’m not constantly hungover! :joy: tomorrow I took the day off because I have physical therapy for my hip and then back to the psychiatrist to discuss med dosage.

Sometimes I feel like I’m stuck but then I look back where I was 22 days ago and holy F I wouldn’t go back for anything. So gonna keep going the right direction - forward.

@Butterflymoonwoman HUGE congrats you absolutely amazing human!!! :yellow_heart:

@mikecher congrats on your 2 weeks!
@james83 thank you! Appreciate you sharing your journey. Now for once you will be able to be honest in claiming that you are trying to abstain from your DOC. So proud of you and glad we are here for each other!
@catmama23 yeah to 22 f**ing days – so love the kick ass productive day you had today. I do hope everything goes well with your psychiatrist tomorrow in getting your dosage changed (glad you were able to get an earlier appointment).
@scorpn I do hope you get some sleep (it’s been a weird week or so with long work hours and short sleeping hours and just life stuff) – Hope tomorrow is better – we are here if you need to chat / vent or whatever

Checking in on Wednesday night
189 weed and alcohol free
604 cigarettes free
it’s been a decent enough day - no complaints and no urges
hope you are all doing well… stay sober and strong my friends… sending much love :heart: :heart:

Like the design very American traditional,

Are you bound to where your at geographically speaking? If not you might have to expand your search my one artist had an apprentice from San Diego, guy went far and wide to find a shop, he moved back about a year after he completed his apprenticeship and built a solid portfolio
