Sober truly is the best! Sounds like yet another amazing day. As Jenny said - do not apologize for sharing…we love hearing from you and seeing you thriving in sobriety. Enjoy the movie - it’s on my list to watch

Aaaah, thank you. I have read a few chapters and now very sleepy. Really good idea to write the worries down, I haven’t done that before but like the idea. I am also going to get out in nature tomorrow, make the most of the unseasonably hot weather here. Thank you

Day 601
Feeling quite a bit better today. Everyones comments really helped me to snap out of that thinking yesterday. I am beyond grateful for TS and for all of you 
Today i got up bright and early for work. Tried connecting a bit to my HP while on my way there. Just feeling very grateful for my recovery and being where I am today. Moving forward tho, i am going to work more on finding that peace and serenity thru meditation 
and spirituality. I want to just be. Start showing myself more compassion and set aside a bit more time for self care. I do think its important for me to start becoming more recovery focused again. Maybe attend some online meetings again, do more recovery related reading, journal, meditate, etc. Whatever I feel like i need.
Other than that, todays plans are finishing work, then home, and then ordering a pizza. Self care later on and a good rest. Thats about it! Hope everyone is doing well

@rob11 Our addict brain is so messed up – like please get the message that his is not the life for me already! Hell yeah – you are WAY more than this and have come so damn far in your sobriety. Sorry that you were temped. I do think its so torturous of how the alcohol is strategically placed in a grocery store. Thank you for not listening to the lies – no way is alcohol good for anything. Hope you had a restful rest of your day.
@sobrietyForMe Anxiety is a bitch. I’m sorry you are dealing with this right now. Are you abel to do some deep breathing exercises, meditation or go for a walk (if weather permits)? OOH – I do love the suggestion that James has given too. Glad to hear that you are already feeling somewhat better 
@looking4support Damn the pain. I can totally relate on being grounded by my body and wanting to embrace a beautiful day. Alas, the body wins – I used to fight it found that only made matters worse. Love your attitude and glad to see you being compassionate with yourself. Sometimes gentle stretches help lessen the pain. A few movements that may help… Few exercises for Sciatica pain.
@jennyh sweet dreams my friend. OOH a lovely nature walk on a Sunday sounds perfect. Take and share pics if possible.

I’m checking in this morning to share something brilliant and to encourage others to keep going, early days are tough at times! Today is my 2 month soberverssary from alcohol and strong benzos… I never thought I would succeed a few months ago, I was in the pit of despair and feeling lost, aimless and hopeless. I am here by the grace of God for sure!
Anyway, keep going everyone, you are doing beautifully 
Encouragement and blessings to you all from Australia

@JazzyS thank you dear. It’s hard. Lately I am pretty consistent on journaling and praying with the Bible. I hope not letting you down

The guidance is marginally different on our equivalent to the NHS (ours is HSE).
As you get older the statistics become lower apparently.
Our nurses have an odd ‘bed side’ manner… I moved home to another county, so my new nurse said to me “ooohh, crystal clear up here” and off she went with the sample. I wasn’t
especially worried per se, but, what was she expecting up there 
See below lovely, this is NHS. On our equivalent, I’m every 5yrs now x
