Day 937,
Just checking in, worked on step 4 this morning. Getting the feeling I just might get to the point where I don’t regret the past nor shut the door on it. It’s part of this one version of me.
Have a nice day, ODAAT

Day 16. Have to be careful about being on my phone too much in private places, dancing around bad searches, didn’t relapse, but i need to guard my thinking and not get overconfident at all times. Today will be a great day.

3.5 days sober thank goodness
My energy is back and I don’t need to worry about my next buzz
One of my favorite parts of sobriety is that I don’t need to worry about the next buzz.
No working thinking I need to come home to get high or drunk. No anxiety be4 work thinking of I have enough time to smoke weed. No time wasted of the stuff
Today will be a ok day
Take care everyone

Day 2: no grazing
Day 24: no credit cards
Day 712: no pills
I feel absolutely no need to use my credit cards. In fact, my goal is to pay them off completely and no longer have them. It’s going to take a while but I can do this!

Hello all,
I am trying to stick with my daily 3 - prayer, meditation & exercise. I am not sure im going to be able to quit smoking right now, but i am going to cut down. There are so many things blocking me, and Im just amazed at how messy the mind can become when wounded. I am hearing what pthers are saying and even seeimg myself I have to take it slow.
I want this very badly and am willing to try new things. Have had some good book recommends here, though my therapist recpmmended one I will read first. Thank you to @mikokatsu for the experience of yours. Driving through the beautiful north of Ontario…caught a 10 lbs pike, and saw a deer swimming in the water. Feel so grateful, for my kids and family and all that I do have.

@deelzebub good to see you posting – grateful that you are being well cared for and that you are taking time for self-care. Love that you are finding yourself having turned a corner and very impressed at being able to mingle at a garden party amongst drinkers. Smart to have something in hand to sip on.
@catmancam how are you doing today? Best of luck with the job. You have come a long way with your coping skills and communication skills and I can see you doing well in the interview – go in with your positive attitude (you know this job and know you will crush it)!
@minatasha well done on day 5. You are doing awesome with keeping yourself busy and dealing with adulting stuff. Keep at it and know we are here if you need support.
@butterflywoman I do hope you were able to relax and get a good nights rest. Yes, to a lovely day planned for today.
I love this – loved your entire post. I do think you are making great strides in your life towards the positive. 25 years of age – have accomplished a whole lot and starting your young life out on a path in sobriety is huge. Now you get to go through life actually appreciating every bit of it and remembering every bit of it. Its hard to know when to listen to your gut but do know if the urges to change career and country get stronger than I don’t see the harm in trying it out. We only have this one life – best not to live it in regret.
@geng so happy that you did get out to the meeting and found a like minded person to connect with!
@timetochange unfortunately not everyone gets the struggle we are going through. Since alcohol is so widely accepted and is the social norm – some can’t see the harm in just one. Not realizing that the one is quicksand for us and we can’t afford that slip. It is not out of any malice or ill will – this thinking is just out of ignorance. Those who haven’t gone through this struggle may never comprehend it. Grateful for your strength and look at that day 20 – you are about to celebrate your 3 week milestone.
@mno -wow, how awesome to connect with buddies after so long. I do hope you have a great time catching up. Great pic – I was not able to pick you out – lol
@sobermedic Yeah to the gym but so sorry that your roster has you working so much. Are you able to discuss the work schedule with someone to possibly loosen the load? I think you are are doing great in finding ways to do self-care and keep yourself from “hitting the bottle”. Well done my friend – almost to your ½ way mark of triple digits.

Love this and I’m sure your boys will love it to and have great memories from all the family time. So sorry that you are having to deal with “a toxic Ma” - I can’t even imagine but do feel like you are handling this well. Here’s to another amazing day!
@anon53116147 look at you getting so comfortable in the kitchen – see that is progress my friend. I’m sure your he was ever so grateful for your assistance. Yeah --to camping with the girls – what an amazing thing to look forward to. Happy Friday!
WOW – love this Rob and damn right – the past is what brings us to our present. Grateful for the lovely progress you are making.
Checking in on Friday afternoon
i had a rough afternoon / night yesterday and woke up not wanting to start the day but forced myself to get going and grateful that i have. i am impressed at all the temptations i have had around me and haven’t even given them a second’s thought… they were of no interest to me. Another day being sober and addiction free. Another chance to heal myself. Sending everyone much love on this beautiful Friday…
