That’s all we all can do Juli. And when we keep doing that one day at a time we can’t fail. It’s that simple. Not saying it’s easy but simple it is.
@Pagan Excellent work friend! Every day and every crave survived will make the next one a little bit easier to get through. Hardly discernible one by one bit over time it will tell and show. Promise. Keep going!
Checking in sober and hangover free. Such a wonderful feeling. So good, its hard to believe that I spent decades otherwise. But that booze brain is super sneaky…
8 days 13 hours alcohol free.
Not one drop.
I hope everyone here has an amazing 24 hours!
Morning check in Day 517
Feeling beyond grateful this morning. Just an overwhelming sense of gratitude for my recovery, my family, and God. What a beautiful change to my attitude, since the past week or so has been hard by having using thoughts. I prayed this morning while on my way to work. I needed that connection to my HP. Im excited to see what this day brings for me
Really hoping everyone here is well and has an addiction free day
Sending you soo much strength to get thru this health problem. It sounds difficult but im grateful that u realize that weed wont help the situation. Sounds like ur staying focused
Aww @Butterflymoonwoman im so happy to hear you woke with a renewed spirit. I know those using thoughts have been draining. Maybe sharing with the hubby helped!
@SadMemeQueen HELL YEAH – 500 days my friend! @cueball8n9 love family get togethers – have a wonderful cook out and hangout! @timetochange Well done on your 3 weeks of sobriety. Its sill early in your sobriety and you are still finding yourself. I wouldn’t say you are not fun without alcohol. Once you start to heal and gain your confidence you can be yourself (with or without alcohol you were always you – just need a bit of your encouragement to not be so inhibited).
Ah man Amy – so sorry that it didn’t go so well. Well on you for having stuck through the evening at the restaurant – not sure if I could have with two different music rooms blaring while I’m trying to eat… Like you said – something that you can look back on and laugh at. The important thing is that you made it to 6 months – you did you best to celebrate the occasion and you are stronger today than you were 6 months ago… you kick ass and hope you have a wonderful Saturday. @sobermedic well done on your 7 weeks! Very impressive indeed. Hope you do get some rest in your schedule soon enough – I know our urges get stronger when we are tired. Sending strength
Oh Sophia so lovely to read this and am so happy for you – HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
WOW – this is super impressive and now wonder you are always entertaining each other LOL @soberbilly Awe thanks my friend!! I appreciate you and love that I have met you on my sobriety journey (SB – sober buddy?) What a great way to look at it – our “transportation is broken” – I may have to use this line Thanks Billy – hope you have a great Saturday and well done on 445 days – keep em coming
Damn straight – you can do this again. I am so sorry that you are going through this now and that the medical professionals are not able to properly diagnose the issue (I too know how frustrating that can be). So grateful that you know weed will not be able to fix this issue (may even make it worse). I wish you the best in your recovery journey and do wish for some relief in your symptoms.
@Butterflymoonwoman Love the positive attitude to a new day! – wishing you the best day my friend. @cjp sending you loads of luck my friend - i do remember the nervousness of having to change hairdressers. Are you getting a trim or trying for a new summer look?
Checking in on Saturday morning
Had the most delicious conversation with my sister today - she and i do butt heads often and she can be a bit bossy at times but i love her to pieces and value her opinions. It was ever so lovely talking with her today (left me with a sense of calm and love). I am grateful to be surrounded by such amazing family. Its a lovely Saturday - about to be noon… i need to get myself moving – so much self-care to do and so little time
wishing everyone an addiction free Saturday - sending much love
Day 3: no grazing
Day 25: no credit cards
Day 713: no pills
I get the urge to graze but I drink water instead. I have no desire to use my credit cards. In fact, I made a payment yesterday. I did have the desire to go back to pills but was like hell no. I worked WAY too hard to give up now.
Some of you might be tired of my low numbers, I am too. But I keep trying. I want sobriety. I have some elementary things, that are changing in my life. Might seem triggering, but to me it just feels very liberating.
Back home from a swim, a thunderstorm was coming and so the lifeguard made an announcement to get out!
Disappointing after 500 meters
… Took a long cold shower and drove streight back home (no wrong exits). No cravings. Don’t know… These cravings, I don’t realy have some. Don’t realy know what I want from alcohol.
Will do some yoga, some writing, nice dinner and maybe start looking a silly soap. I ordered a TV (didn’t have one for over a year… But some low entertainment might be fun sometimes!)
Much love
Fuck alcohol
Fight alcohol
Spread out peace and ease!
