I was outside with my boyfriend. I buyed for him hot chocolate drink - he was so excited about it, like little kid with light hooe in a heart. It was so beautiful to look on that. 
Prague looks wonderful today. Sun is shining. What a beautiful day, guys.

Welcome Kristi.
Congratulations on day 2.
Fat drunk and hungover was no way for me to enter my bronze years. Iām enjoying 3 plus years of sobriety because Iām very active here with this excellent sober community.
Iām glad you found us.
If you need anything, just ask. The lights are always on around here.

The voice telling me to fold is a little stronger todayā¦ Thereās zero chance it wins, but itās definitely thereā¦ As always when I quit I self isolateā¦ And before anyone says thatās bad, for me, itās necessaryā¦ During these 3 days, I get extremely ridden with anxietyā¦ To the point that if I were to have to talk to anyone face to face itād be a nightmare and awkward AFā¦ I usually use having to go to work as the reason I must take vicodin to just be able to face the dayā¦ I work for myself, so I took Monday off to get a solid 3 days inā¦ That first day back out in the world is always the hardestā¦ I did it last time before the relapse, I WILL do it againā¦

@SoberMedic welcome
@Mno thank you, I got through it until 5am, so pleased that itās stuck to me today, itās made a world of difference. Iād called your progress hugem, admirably so! Proud of you. š©µ
@SoberWalker thank you š©µ I hope so too
@Bomdhil welcome back 
congrats on 3 days 
@Kelwooo congrats on 3 weeks
@KristiVee welcome congrats on day 2
1028 days no alcohol.
493 days no cocaine.
8 days no vape.
6 days no binge-eating.
The second day in a row of sunshine has helped to lift the depression, it hasnāt suffocated me today. I have felt so free doing my walks in shorts and a vest, that is, until I was nearly home and caught a glimpse of the horror that is my reflection. Working on it.
The urges for a vape have been minimal today bcuz the patch I applied at 5am has stayed on they are 16hr ones so itās running out now but Iāll cope.
I have had a lot of food cravings today, but havenāt given in, Iāve heard it all before, too many times, so I just hope I can stay strong and keep resisting.
Iāve spent most of the day catching up/binge-watching all the BGT semi-finals. The final is on tonight but Iāve still got Friday nightās semi-final to watch before I can watch that, so maybe tomorrow after the appointment I am dreading.
Tomorrow I have my appointment with the Adult Social Care team, to discuss/plan, the support they can give me to get me involved with groups in the community. Iāve looked on the website and there are a few that I like the sound of, I just canāt imagine myself talking/connecting with anyone, or making friends. I also know from experience that for my whole life, being around other people, fills my head with evil voices and ultimately makes me feel suicidal, so I will tell this in the appointment, and see what they say.
I hope youāve all had wonderful sober weekends.

End of day 90, that went kinda quick. Not sure how Iām feeling about it. I expected it to be more of a celebration. But it just happened without me realising it until late afternoon. I was so busy today. Now Iām in bed with a pounding headache, not looking forward to Monday morning.

Day 476
Work was okay today. Was moved to a different client today (someone i havent worked with in many, many months), but overall the shift went well.
Recovery wise - Im doing okay. Just a small urge to use which left just as quick as it came. I prayed this morning on my way to work and im glad that im getting back into my morning recovery routine.
Health wise - Things could be better in this area but I made a good effort to get back on track over the weekend. Exercise will resume tmrw and im looking forward to feeling better.
All n all its another day clean and sober. Another day to be of service to others and to get outside of myself. Another day to enjoy life and the simple (yet extravagant) gifts that recovery has given me

@xxix and @soberbilly Thank you so much ā Loads of love for you too
@kristivee Welcome to the community! Great job on day 2. Try not to focus on the summer or farther into the future āthe future is an unknown. Here you will see ODAAT a lot because we all tackle this addiction one day at a time. Get to meetings or whatever support you feel comfortable with. Change up your routines and add hobbies / activities that will be of healthy distractions for you when you get urges. Wish you the best and hope to see you around.
@soberwalker oh my bad ā so sorry about the misunderstanding. Still a special weekend!
@karenkw Iām so sorry love ā I do hope that you can surrender and let go of the constant survival mode. Sending you strength my friend, I do hope that you can find relief from your depression monster
@nastya_is_fighting Absolutely beautiful. I would love to see more pictures of Prague.
@liftingfog You know your own body/ mind best and know what triggers to avoid. I do wish you the best in fighting the urges. Are you able to slowly ease back into face to face meetings?
@catmancam Wow ā so glad to hear that your depression is lifting. Yeah to finally getting your Adult Social Care team appointment today ā I do hope that it went well!
Oh love ā give yourself a huge hug right now! I can totally relate to this feeling and may have used these words myself in the past. I do know that when I see my reflection I did have negative thoughts and now I try to remind myself that I am working on me and I am not just my body (I am working on my body and only with me thinking positively about myself will I get out of the rut that is my Yuk feelings towards myself ā I do hope that you are able to love the amazing person that you are and talk about yourself (even in joking manner) in a positive way. Much love my beautiful friend
@sunshine-girl 1st week conquered ā What a majestic feeling ā way to go 
@holysquid Nicely done my friend ā 90 days is a huge accomplishment. Do find a way to celebrate this even f it later in the week when you have time and hopefully headache free.
Checking in on Sunday evening
165 days weed and alcohol free
580 days cigarette free
was a successful day at the festival thanks mainly to my sis and her hubby for helping out. I am super tired and yes pain is real. I am so glad that we were able to order some great vegan pizza from a new spot that now carries vegan pizza (was great) and watching Ted Lasso to mindlessly end the evening with some awesome humor! No urges and getting ready for another sober week ahead. Looking forward to passing out from exhaustion tonight ā sweet dreams my sober friends! Sending much loveā¦

I have been waking up and going to sleep with a lot of anxiety the past few days. Struggling a lot to get myself to do the helpful things like gratitude journaling or meditation. Feeling like I donāt deserve love, affection or attention.
Kept myself busy with cleaning my home, knocking out some todo list things and doing a couple of my hobbies. Itās nice knowing that I can make it through these days without numbing myself which would only make it worse in the long run. Gonna spend the rest of the evening just trying to slowly do those self help things, maybe a little journaling, some mindful stretching.
Knowing I have this place to help me not feel isolated helps a lot, I am very grateful for all of you. I hope everyone has a great day

Hang out here. Itās why this place worked so well for me. Real contact, real people, real support. But not the anxiety of having to meet people face to face.
You do you. You (the real you, not the addict) knows whatās best for you. Congrats on your sober time. Keep going. Youāre not alone.
