Good morning sober fam.
Not the best morning, feel like I would have something heavy on my chest. I feel like panic attack is coming, trying put my attention somewhere else. Gonna be okay.

Nicer weather. Going to do something outside on my day off. Coffee first. And breakfast. And check out this thread and the forum in general. Sober and clean. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love.
@Juli1 Nobody can do it alone. The opposite of addiction is connection. We, you, need to feel connection to something and someone, always, but especially someone to talk to when we and you think itās āfunnyā to drink. Work on connection. Hugs.
@HoofHearted I sure think thereās a connection there. Exactly like you describe it. In your head. Work on breaking that pattern friend. I know you can. Stay connected.
@BT824 Congrats on 7 days friend and do whatever works for you. As we progress further into our sober days the milestones become rare. I love to celebrate the ones I get and even be inventive a bit. Like this one.
@Mischa84 Distraction yes. Breathing exercises. Mentalization. Meditation. Writing or drawing. Hang in there. Whatever helps you. Youāre not alone.

Bedtime procrastination is real, and I have it. As well as every other type of procrastination 
I used to stay up really late drinking, pass out and sleep the whole next day. Now I still stay up late bc Iām used to it. Plus having to wind down after work. And some current issues happening in my building. (story for another day)
Since being single with my daughter, my only alone time is when she goes to bed. Sheās with her dad now every weekend but Iām at work that whole time. Not that I dont love every inch of my daughter, but I really enjoy being alone when I can. It will change when school starts up.
Tired now, so have a good night everyone. Keep fighting the good fight!

Hello all, checking in on Day 35. About to start the final push to get car packed and on the road for our holiday. Feeling quite lethargic atm but will pick up soon.
Congratulations @Mno on all those months.
Where is north to you @Timetochange? I was really shocked to be described as coming from the North by someone from Cornwall once, always been a Southerner in my mind 
Some great advice here already @HoofHearted Really hope you feel better soon. I know exactly what you mean, your post really resonated with me. I seem to be through that phase now though. Hope everything is OK.
Have a good day everyone.

Thanks Menno. It was false alarm or distraction worked. Feel better now. With 3 young cats and 3 young boys itās like in the bee hive here, no time for weakness (which can be good but also bad sometimes).

Iām glad that you are talking about it and thinking about it. Iām not sure if you feel dread or as you said you feel dreadful, maybe itās the same thing. Whether you are fearful of something happening or if you physically feel bad. Nonetheless. Changes in our lives sometimes puts us in places that we didnāt expect to be and to have feelings we didnāt expect to feel. Sorting them out, thinking about them, talking about them, being aware of what is happening, what could happen, and what probably wonāt happen can be helpful. Youāre cared about. I hope that you will start feeling better and that there can be as much recovery as possible from the bad that has happened. And that there will not be any more bad.

Day 7.35 quitting vaping. The mornings are the hardest. I would wake up and the first thing id do is vape. Reality hit me yesterday when i realized i was going thru a 2500puff vape a day. I had a serious habit!
Its surreal ive made it this far. Cravings are intense. Got thru alot of firsts this week. Feeling a little stronger. I keep reminding myself i dont smoke. Im a non smoker.

I saw your post a few minutes ago, that seems to be deleted now.
I might imagine what you want to say.
But now I am not motivated anymore to share ANY single thing of my life here.
Good luck to everyone!

Good morning fam. Day 76, one thing I canāt lie i was worried about being on my own and oversleeping, but so far Iāve managed to wake up early everyday so far and making sure Iām hitting my appointments and groups. Today i have to go finish my immunizations for college, other than that i probably wont do much because its crappy and raining out. lol i love typing on my keyboard, i feel like i can type for ever, one thing i notice is it is a little uncomfortable bc there is no like support for my wrist like some keyboards, this one is just flat which definitely gets a little sore on my wrist. But other than that i love it, much love i could type all day now but i wont lol. Have some beautiful days peeps

Julia, please donāt stop posting and sharing on here. Every single person on this forum regardless of time sober has been on the same merry-go-round of sober-relapse-repeat. Weāve all been there.
Just because some people only started posting on here when their long-term sobriety stuck doesnāt mean your journey is any less valuable. Keep trying love, alchohol is one hell of a tough addiction to beat.
