@lastry Well done Fiona on 16days of sobriety. Do have your go to plan for support / na drinks / activities during your holiday so that you can protect your sobriety. I’ve heard way too many stories of losing sobriety to that “one” drink. Sending strength and hope you have a wonderful relaxing time.
@dmcg1987 I’m sorry you are feeling ill and having to work through it – I do hope that you are home now and resting and hopefully able to take care of yourself so you feel better soon. Sending you healing vibes
@sobermedic HELL Yeah to your 60 days! Well done and keep up the amazing work
@chase.e.u Congrats on your double digits! I do hope that by talking with you your friend is also able to find the strength to choose a path of recovery. Well done my being an inspiration and a motivator.
@dustysprungfield Man the disease is a tricky one – I know the second I let my guard down I’m in trouble. Well done on jumping right back into your recovery. These slip ups remind us that we need to be vigilant and protect our sobriety. Glad to see you here with us – we are stronger together.
@SelfLove_42 WOW – I do love the experiment you have laid for yourself – I do agree that sleep is when we allow our bodies and minds the time it needs to heal so sleep is essential to our recoveries. Sending you strength in keeping to the schedule!
I’m so sorry that you are going through this. I’m glad that you are able to see the warning signs ahead of time – are you able to talk this out with anyone (therapist, counsellor…etc)? The mind is an amazing thing and I do think that we can work on re-training it – it does take a lot of work and we can not do it alone. I do hope you are able to find help with this so you do not fall into the dark hole. We are here for you too so please keep talking it out / checking in (that may help give you some relief as well). Much love my friend – you are not alone. Just saw your update – glad you have someone to talk to and hopefully they can help you so you don’t find yourself in the darkness.
@juli1 so proud of you for not giving in to that voice and instead forming a trick to help you protect your sobriety. Way to flex your sober muscles.
@johann117 I do hope that your day becomes brighter as it progresses. Nicotine is a tough habit but you have shown your strength with your sobriety and i know you can do this too. Grumpy A-holes (quitting cigarettes/ nicotine products) is a great thread for some tips and support.
@jennyH so sorry that you crashed - grateful that your husband was able to help with dinner / kids - i do hope that you are able to have a guilt free rest (your body is screaming for it) and gain more energy for tomorrow.
Checking in on Wednesday afternoon
Not much done today as i conserved all my energy to go see a friend for lunch. It was fun to put on makeup and something other than sweats. Made it home in time as - Severe storm is coming through and the sirens are blaring for a tornado watch. Wow - the sky looks amazing! Catching up was great but now super exhausted. I am going to try and move a bit and see what i can accomplish with the rest of the day.
Have a lovely addiction free day my sober friends… sending much love
