Day 330
Still Covid positive, but there is only a very very thin line. I hope that tomorrow morning there won’t be a line any more.
For the first time this week I cooked a decent meal and ate all of it, that’s good. My taste is still a little wonky, I hope that’s getting better in the next weeks. I love food, it would be awful if everything keeps on tasting like paper with a little salt.
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong 
@timetochange great job on not listening and giving into that voice. Sorry it lasted for so long – keep strong my friend – you are doing great at 64 days!
@mischa84 if you haven’t already done so – check out the Netflix Hulu HBO Apple etc…… binge ideas please! thread for some recommendations – Happy watching
A lot can change in a couple of weeks. Grateful you did talk with hubby and the talk helped. Wishing you luck in making this decision. I know you are feeling overwhelmed so do take time for you in this process and make sure you have your “me” time going forward as well.
@soberbilly HA HA – I was actually thinking of you when I picked up the pack cause you had mentioned learning that Oreo’s are vegan 
Footloose and fancy on a Sunday – you rock this beautiful day!
@juli1 damn those cravings are acting crazy love – I’m sorry! I do hope you are able to find ways to occupy your mind and re-train those urges. You are strong as hell Jules with your 13 days! Saw your evening check in – you get it girl – no shit in fridge and no unnecessary stops. YUMMY lemonade – enjoy 
@rob11 thanks for checking in even when you are in overdrive- I do hope you can relax and find some calmness. Doing amazing with your sobriety and your treatment journey
@mindofsobermike Hey super Mike sounds like you are having a rough day processing. You have been busy with camping and school orientations and tomorrow is first day so you may just need today for YOU. It’s ok to have time to yourself maybe go to the gym or get some fresh air. Sending great happy vibes your way my friend. So much to do to stay out of the boredom mentality – hope you have an awesome Sunday
@katiee Doing great on 63 days my friend – grateful you side stepped those triggers and seeing another beautiful day sober
I do hope you get your taste buds back soon – that would be totally awful – I too enjoy food oh so much and couldn’t imagine not tasting all the wonderful flavors! Wishing you a quick an healthy recovery
Checking in on Sunday afternoon
Much love my sober friends. Its been another emotional day but i am hanging in. Nope not going to crawl into temptations or escape. I may sleep a shit ton of hours. 
I did not sleep well this morning and the buckets of coffee i’ve dumped into this body really isn’t doing its job. Grateful that i took time to catch up here - you all always help so much - thank you for being here! Hope everyone has an amazing addiction free Sunday - sending all you warriors much love 
19 days AF. We had some trouble giving Smokey his B12 supplement which involves a needle but it’s ok, it’s not required and we can try again next week. Attempting to not let anxiety and disappointment make me ungrateful that we have the chance to try this medication at all.
Been feeling tired, I think it’s all the emotions of the last two weeks catching up to me. Went to a traditions AA meeting this morning to see my sponsor and her husband who is in Al Anon. I’m so grateful for the nonprofit that allows us to have meeting space there. We pay rent but I’m sure it is highly discounted. I’m also reading the 1st-3rd step daily meditations which are really beautiful. My mom and I had a short text convo and she actually sounded good and “normal” and it was a nice exchange. I feel stronger since rediscovering my spiritual life. 
happy sober living folks 🩷
Afternoon check in sober day 42.
Dealing with medication side effects. I’ll call my doctor tomorrow morning. It may just be a matter of my body adjusting.
Also dealing with a difficult situation with a friend. Trying to balance being supportive and protecting my peace.
Thankfully leaving for vacation Tuesday morning.
I am sorry to hear that. How are you feeling now?
Checking in, been a really busy but relaxed day. Went for a long walk and picnic, then to a National Trust place as we were close. It was lovely and my kids are so happy and giggling together. Sibling relationships at their age are so complicated so hearing them happy is such a joy.
We are off work this week and have decided to go into London tomorrow to do the proper tourist experience. Thames boat tour, Tower of London and more. So excited! I am definitely an outdoor in nature person but the in your face history of London definitely appeals too, will just need a long walk in the woods on Tuesday to recover 
Sending you strength my friend. I believe in you
Day 7: no grazing
Day 756: no pills
Day 20
Second check in:
To be honest today has been really hard, not so much to drink or use but just really down,I finally made a call to a friend in the program I just don’t want to continue to screw up my life. Just for today 
day 543 of no self harm
bad health day. feeling really sick and weak and nauseous. I know it’s probably dehydration and/or lack of food. I genuinely do not feel thirsty or hungry. thirst almost never and hunger only hits once my blood sugar has already dropped and I feel like hell. by the time I realized I’m hungry I’m nauseous. it’s miserable
it’s a symptom of autism so not much to be done. I did plan to be productive and clean a small area of my room but i can’t even manage to change my clothes today. exhausted as well.
getting desperate for a job, I’ve called every place I’ve applied to 2 or 3 times now but no one ever reached out. because I’ve been feeling my health get worse I may end up waiting until my doctor’s appointments are over and I have some answers about my health.
How are you doing Billy? Glad that you called your friend and checked in here - hoping that it helped. Day 20 is amazing my friend! Keep strong - it does get easier
hey Megan
i do hope you get hydrated and get some food in you - both are essential if you want to heal (need nourishment). It may be hard as our stomachs shrink once we stop eating and it is hard to feel the hunger sensations. would you be able to set up eating / drinking schedules and start small portions. I know it seems hard- it took me 8 months to start eating properly and stop living on skipped meals. I really do hope that you start feeling better soon.
So sorry you are not hearing back for jobs. I do hope that you do get some answers soon and your health starts improving!
I did download an app to remind me to drink water so hopefully that helps. my food options are so limited it’s hard to find meals aside from fast food which I can’t go buy everyday. it’s definitely something I’ll have to work on in therapy
Thank you!I’m doing better

1112 days no alcohol.
577 days no cocaine.
92 days no vape.
Haven’t had much sleep the last two nights, hoping to catch up a bit tonight. 
Did my morning routine and started a new book, Scattered Minds, by Gabor Maté, ‘The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder’. I listened to a lot of his talks and interviews while I was still in active addiction but desperately trying to stop, so I think it’s going to be an interesting read.
Played Pokémon GO Fest yesterday and today, and completed all of the weekend’s missions. Did some back-to-back meditations, now I’m here catching up. Looking forward to starting a new page in my colouring book tomorrow, havent done any over the weekend.
I hope you’ve all had wonderful sober weekends.

Evening Check In
Day 560
Work was sooooo busy. Not what im used to at all. Im not necessarily complaining, but all i ate today was 2 pop tarts and alot of coffee. Not healthy and not what my body needs to function well. I left work extremely hungry and dehydrated. Then became super irritable and stressed out bcuz of that and the heat and the over crowded bus. It was too much! I came home and had to reset my binge free counter bcuz i tried to have a snack before supper and it didnt turn out well. I am grateful that im still clean and sober, grateful that my binge wasnt too extreme (stopped myself right away) and grateful that im able to learn from this reset. Anyway, i hope u all are having a great sunday. New week is approaching and im excited to see whats in store! 
Day 140 checking in sober
Checking in Day 152!!!
Alive, clean, and sober!!!
Went to church today with my two beautiful babies also my sis-in-law and three young nephews. Was a great start to this fine Sunday. I thank our Heavenly Father for giving us another day and the courage and strength to keep moving forward. Everyone keep doing your best for you and believing in yourself. You CAN do it and I love you all. Have a wonderful evening everyone. God Bless ☆☆☆
