Thank you very much!
Day 478 AF
Oh how I wish for summer to end!
In the meantime, trying to keep mind busy and looking to rest more.
By watching a tv show I had some minor cravings, ugh! Had not happen in so long!
Have a great day everyone!
Checking in sober, day 16.
I still have another hour or so of work but itās a major struggle. I canāt wait to see my doctor Friday to see what adjustments we can make. I feel like Iām in a constant battle with my brain. Itās exhausting and frustrating. And then I canāt sleep at night. But I know I canāt give into the cravings. Drinking wonāt solve anything.

Checking in day 17
Not a bad day today
Went back to work
Had a very good meeting with my councillor and had a good talk
And went football training this evening
Head feels in a good place tonight much better then the last few days
Off to bed now to watch a bit of telly and relax goodnight all hope yee are all doing ok
Sounds like a good day!
I was just wondering if football meant American football or European football, and then I read your line about telly and that resolved that question
Day 37 today. Feeling a bit spent from all that Iāve been doing the past couple of weeks, but good nonetheless. Happy to be sober
Checking in 18.61hrs free from vaping after 20yrs of smoking or vaping. This is the longest ive gone in years!
15 months free from weed and alcohol today
7 months of living a healthier lifestyle (food and fitness)
Fuck this is NOT easy. I feel like a mother trying to correct a stubborn toddler, constantly reminding myself im a nonsmoker now. I want to save money and make myself proud. I just feel off today mentally.
Youve already proven your strengthā¦you are able to stick out this rough patch and win over this addiction too!
Feeling off is totally normalā¦every day wirhout you will feel a bit better.
Stay strong CJ! You rocking this addiction free lifestyle
Congrats Mike! Nice place you got there.
Best wishes on your new adventure.

Iāve been feeling not so well mentally today and yesterday too, not sure how to describe it, but I donāt like it and I want it to go away. Atleast I know using substances wouldnāt help, nor do I want to use them.
I have done my usual routines and activities, even managed to do one of my new ones. I missed my lake walk due to attending the Survivors Zoom support group from 18:30-21:00, I was planning to go straight after it, but then I didnāt feel safe enough. I didnāt feel great in the group, I could barely speak, it was awkward af. Nevermind, Iām still glad I went, it does help me feel slightly less alone.

Last hour of day 1. Appreciate the support and encouragement sent my way yesterday. Was the first time I showed my face on here, just felt like that adds more accountability. Yeah I have found going to meetings helpful. Plan to set in one tomorrow. Need to keep reading and learning. Good sober night to you all
Thank you everyone, this feels so good and Iām so grateful. Last photo dump but super happy I have a spot for my girls stuff now
I suffer from sleep deprivation, and I am the one causing it. I am acting against myself regarding sleep, sounds crazy but I am doing it
Feeling very out of sorts the last couple of days. Tired and cranky. For the first time since getting sober Iāve felt the urge to drink. Loneliness is setting in and feeling like having a glass of wine. I will not, I know this feeling will pass.
