Thank you ! 
I appreciate your words so much and could almost feel my shoulders lower while reading them. Really good reminders in here for me. Do you practice meditation?

Thanks Billy. Itās only been 17 days on the Escitalopram and itās definitely started to work but it just feels like a backwards step today. I see my GP next Wednesday anyway so I can check in with her then. Thanks for your reply.

Evening check in, very close to hitting 3 weeks (30 minutes).
We skipped the gym tonight, husband was a bit late home and we wanted to spend some time with the kids. We also went to the pub, something I have missed as something we did together. I really enjoyed it, had some lovely beige food and a pint of coke. I was completely fine with not drinking. Turns out the wine didnāt enhance the evening at all. I think I enjoyed the food more too.
Thanks @JazzyS I just finished some yummy ice cream, definitely prioritising sobriety before worrying too much about the sugar. I did at least eat vegetables today

@rosacando way to go on your 2 years of sobriety. Grateful that you were able to navigate through the milestone malady and are kicking addictions ass! 
55 days! This is remarkable. I know the sense of wanting to fix it all NOW. It took us years to get to this point and will take some time to unravel all that weāve hidden from ourselves for so long. Be gentle with yourself and know that you are doing an amazing job. Grateful to see you recognizing the warning signs and addressing them.
@cp25 how are you doing today? Hope you have someone helping you
@deelzebub love the numbers! 123 
I am sorry for the negative feelings returning but am grateful that you did manage to go to yoga and get out of the house. I do hope you have some lighter brighter days ahead
@mia2 always so good to hear from you. āstop justifying myself to myselfā WOW this was a powerful statement. You are incredible and I do wish you all the success in this journey. I am grateful that you had a good day today 
Checking in on Thursday afternoon ā
lovely rainy day out which might explain my extra laziness LOL. I am really tired but not able to sleep so in limbo.
It is a lovely day so far - did get up early and was able to get a few hours of work done and even go and enjoy a cup of coffee with my mom.
Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love
@Qhob13 and @Saturn81 how are you ladies doing?

day 582 of no self harm
I had a friend come over and help me clean my room yesterday. it was overall a good time it was a lot of work I think we worked for almost 7 hours straight aside from a lunch break. I am very sore and everything hurts but I finally have my own space again which is really nice. I have a somewhat large room and all I had was room for a walking path in my bed before we cleaned.
ignore the clothes Iām in the process of clearing my closet.
I have a lot of plushies so I bought a plushie net and they helped me put it up and they organize the plushies for me
Iāve been having a really hard time with my mom lately so itās really nice to have my own space

Feeling a bit meh. Didnāt go swimming as wanted to eat dinner and spend time with my other half. But I feel like I missed out kind of on something. Have eaten far too many sweets and apple pastries, i feel quite ill.
Anyway, we go away after work tomorrow thru to Sunday so Iām looking forward to that.

I get that, unsettling when you get used to your own space. Have a lovely time, make the most of the Autumn sun, not sure I have ever been to Margate. I am going to Chessington on Monday as it is an INSET day at my daughterās school. Taking her and 2 friends. It may be quite intense

Couldnāt be happier for you! You should feel proud of your accomplishment, i understand how hard it is too reach that two year mark, remarkable achievement! Wishing you nothing but continued success in the following days, weeks, months and years. Always remember the pain you went through to get to this point. Nothing is worth going back to where youāve already been.
So awesome! Congratulations!!

I recommend earplugs and a suitcase of patience. Good luck. Margate is amazing these days, a bit rough still, especially at night, but where isnāt? Being sober means you miss all the crazies 
. Itās got a beautiful sandy beach and lovely walks in either direction along the shore. Also has some banging places to eat, my favourite being the breakfast double decker bus for my favourite falafel breakfast
