Good morning. It’s Sunday the day of rest. So I plan on getting some exercise so I can rest my weary mind and feed it some dopamine.
I may listen to a sober podcast but as I’m early days I find some of the pods are further down the road and I feel left behind. I’ll find one that fits.
Into day 4.

Laser removal sadly isn’t an opinion either. They sad that can make an attempt, but since it’s been all black. Haven’t faded at all for about 20 years,and I’m a bit darker skinned myself, and actually sits on scar tissue they chance of making a successful removal is like minimal. So I’ll will be better off saving me those money and the trouble according to every expert I’ve asked about it.
It’s not like the artist made a mistake, it’s more the reminder of something I actually don’t want to remember. And the constant questions about it. (It’s the Chinese signs for the five elements) it seemed like a good idea when I did it. But I’ll probably would have done better off with the scars as they would have been easier to hide.
But we all do mistakes I guess.
Bringing my husband is a great idea,I never thought of that before. I’ll ask him. Still doing the cartoon though 
Thank you for your input.

0.77 days sober
11.51 days no ciggs/vape
I slipped up yesterday for my sobriety
I got CBD weed with 0.3% or less THC. The THC was very little but it still didn’t feel right. It was a 2 day slip. I’ve been using CBD a lot. It’s a slippery slope I guess.
I am still continuing my streak no ciggs/vape
Last week I came home early from work during my 8th or 9th day of my streak. Cheery me thought I could come home with no worries. Nope coming home early started a fight so it’s never worth it. I think all my anxiety was my body doing one last good freak out for nicotine and now I think the worst of it is behind me. That was day 8 I believe no ciggs/vape. I will never forget that feeling of withdrawal and that motivates me to quit even more. The withdraw even got me depressed. I don’t get depressed a lot but it hits me hard when I do but it doesn’t last. If I get depression it only lasts 1 or 2 days but it heavy. I feel much better now
Right now it’s almost 5:30 in the morning. Work at 7 out at 4

Day 953,
Came home from Austria, other mixed feelings now. Son with his mother are home too attheir place. Don’t know if home feels home, that’s long story. Tears are there……the things I broke came by while driving home. Gonna take a nap.

Here’s my hand too. I hope that the anxiety will go away with the same power that it comes. One thought that could slow it down some. You have the beautiful fruits from your hikes. Think of preparing and eating them in a mindful way. It might slow down the anxiety some, I hope so.

took me a lot of patience to clear them from their little ‘hairs’. That is meditation.

Morning checking in, back from the shore and now tomorrow back to the daily grind I guess. It was a nice trip but I get homesick pretty quickly so I’m glad we’re back. I do envy some of yous that live near the shoreline though, we were down on the beach at 5:00 in the morning almost every day to catch the sunrise, that’s something I could probably do on a consistent basis when I’m ready to retire. Have a great Sunday people.

Hey girl. All is going good, been pretty content and definitely slacking on the check ins I need to do them everyday. Yes I’m still all set for the 1st everything I have is all packed except a few clothes to get me through the couple days. I have like 4 small bags lol. I’m prepared to put my sober first and make sure I stay on track, now that im leaving the house and won’t be having groups, I will be hitting a.a meetings so I can find that support I need. I’m excited to meet some new ppl and also nervous, a little bit nervous anyways. Much love thanks for the shout out

@DryIn785I am also a Chili in the summer time kind a gal – I do like it super spicy tho (not sure I could handle it these days). Glad you made and enjoyed it. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday
@geng 2 days away from your 30! Love this for you. I too became very absent minded around 30-60 days. Not sure what was the cause but do know that it does pass. Keep doing all that you are!
@mrsodh – I LOVE your mind – YES! A mystery machine would be amazing! I’ve seen many tattooed bodies with cartoon figures – its you canvas and you should put what you want on it (no regrets or shame).
@soberwalker I love this game – and the treat is cake! YUM. What did you end up getting? BTW – love the flower pic
@anon74766472 Are you feeling any better now? We are here if you need to discuss further or just vent. Grateful that you are able to navigate this sober and with a clear mind. I do hope you have a anxiety free Sunday
Now that is a lovely feeling! Keep blending in the days and stacking them on.
@anon15828629 WOW – those are sweet – what a lovely surprise. Congrats on your 2 weeks! I do hope that you have a better day today!
@anon53116147 Good to see you back on the check in thread – you were missed. Glad that you are ready for your move (all changes are exciting and a bit nerve wrecking). Grateful that you are planning out your meetings and to have your support in place. Do know we are here with you and I know you will have no trouble making friends. Main goal is keeping your sobriety protected.
@icebear Sounds like a lovely and hectic day -have a wonderful time. Happy 8th bday to your daughter.
Checking in happy on Sunday morning
I am exhausted and feeling blah in my skin but actually very happy and at peace if that is relatable. I’m now on my 4th cup of coffee and my body is waking up - need to do a bit of cleaning and prep as we have friends coming over for swimming and bbq - not sure how long i will last and that is ok. It’s a beautiful day - grateful to be here and sober. Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free Sunday - sending much love

Day 302
Last day of holiday. I went back to the regular weekend stuff, yesterday grocery shopping and laundry, today apartment cleaning.
This evening after showering I’ll sleep in fresh sheets 
I’m glad that tomorrow my usual work schedule starts again (except getting up at 5 am again, this is brutal). I love being free, doing whatever I want whenever I want. But I tend to kinda cocoon myself at home 
It’s good to see humans again and socialize.
In-between I made some cookies, coconut banana with chocolate chips. I want to stick to good food and try to make as much as possible by myself again.
That’s all for now, have a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong

Thanks jazzy and oh to answer your question about the competition I am getting smoked. Mine was the only tattoo on skin, if I had fake skin I would likely won, bc then I would of been able to finish it. But yeah these two guys are just smoking me. There fake skin pieces were good tho so congratulations to them atleast.
