@qhob13 Way to go Quinn- I know somedays our journey seems so easy and its like wtf why am I not suffering more right now. I am grateful that you are not craving! Bless you Allen Carr – utilize whatever tools you got to keep kicking ass like you have been :muscle:
@looking4support I do hope you go and visit your brother. You should spend as much time as you are able to together (I know this will be good for the both of you). I am sorry for all the other stresses – I do hope that everything gets sorted out for you soon.
@Wakikki how are you doing today?

Checking in on Thursday afternoon
My goodness how quickly the day is going by – I am grateful for that. I have finished my apple juice and made my broths for the day. I am set for this prep – lucky that the procedures are first thing tomorrow so i’ll be home free in 24 hours. Have movies and shows lined up for entertainment so I should be set for today. Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day – sending each of you much love :heart: :heart:

Had a fun ride on the motorcycle this morning, a little chilly but still nice to get out and buzz around. Celebrating 38 days today, feels good. Yesterday was a shitshow but I got through it with prayer and then, in answer to my prayer, Ann Wilson popped up in my feed singing Beware of Darkness, which instantly stopped my tailspin. I thought for sure I was going to drink yesterday, but I didn’t, so a big thank you to the Universe, George Harrison for writing the song and our sober girl Ann for singing the hell out of it :hibiscus::fire::muscle:

Well hello there, I’ve been gambling free for 112 days now, and so far it’s going great! This is the longest I’ve been free from my addiction and actually the first serious attempt. I am grateful for each day.

day 575 of no self harm

still been doing pretty bad. but my parents are going away today on an anniversary trip which means I will be home alone with my sister and dog until Sunday. I’m looking forward to having some peace and quiet. I can hear everything no matter where I am in the house so it gets really overwhelming at points.

my room is a disaster and really needs cleaning but my physical and mental health are not allowing me to do it. my friend offered to help me clean so next week they’re coming over. it really means a lot to me

Day 362
What a day :relieved: I really didn’t feel well this morning but I pushed through. And it feels good that I did that.
I’m home now, I ate, I showered and now I’m relaxing on my couch.
It feels like, I don’t know how to explain it, something inside me is changing. And I absolutely love it! I learned so much in those 362 days. I said goodbye to some old believe systems and welcomed new in. It’s a continuing learning process. Maybe it’s a tiny glimpse of wisdom you gain with age, I don’t know.
Feels good.
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong :kissing_heart::muscle:

I am grateful that I don’t give up. I tend to talk about giving up and be frustrated when things don’t work out as I plan like changing my pedals on one of my bikes. I was beyond frustrated read many things online, watched you tube videos and finally when I went to try a last time today I was successful. It felt good. I changed the padals and the saddle and have a support for my phone now. I am looking forward to testing it all over the weekend.

These are tiny victories in sobriety. Not giving up. Well, I almost lost my temper in the cellar but there was noone to listen to my angry talking to my bike. :see_no_evil:

Oh wow, that is so interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder just how much generations ago had to cope with, and at a time where you were supposed to just get on with it.

Thank you, they have to advertise so I will have to apply and then interview which will be really embarrassing :flushed: It is a big opportunity though so just need to do it!

Thanks again for your reply.
