Hey guys! How’s everyone doing? Life’s been so good lately. Feels like everything is really to starting to fall into place finally! Just turned 38 on the 7th, the day of was absolutely amazing with friends and family. Been working both jobs still but that coming to an end sooner than later. I’ve been presented with an opportunity to start my own business as part of a franchise plumbing company. My current boss has promised me that this career jump will change my life, I’ve never been more excited about work! I’m currently in the process of possibly buying a 3 unit property that has a single family home in the front and a 2 unit apartment building in the back which gives me the opportunity to jump into the rental game which was also one of my goals. Still sober… zero relapses and no cravings or anything like that. Life is looking pretty amazing from my front porch right now and for the first time and a long time I’m actually excited about my future. Just wanted to check in with the few people who are always checking in with me… so thankful for the support and friendships I’ve made through this platform. Sobriety rocks! Peace and love guys… ODDAT!

I think when i stopped drinking and wasnt hungover every day i felt great so ive had no idea i was deficient because of the comparison i drew from that, the dr said shes seen people utterly exhausted with higher results than mine! scary

How wonderful that you are able to see this side of it. Grateful that you were feeling better last night – do hope you had a wonderful evening :hugs:
@ashley_luvz_starz 200 days is amazing :clap: :tada: Keep moving forward :muscle:
@susy you are crushing it with 68 days love – sorry about yesterday – grateful that you found a different way to deal with the uncomfortable feelings. Keeping strong :muscle:

Ooh – what brand do you use for the mushroom blend? Have you noticed a difference? Do you put in your coffee or drink alone or both? Sorry – so many questions – I’ve heard its great for inflammation and am doing some research on it
@mira_d woot woot – 90 days is huge Mira! Amazing work :tada:I do agree with you on that sometimes medications are necessary in healing you and not all should be dismissed. We ae still learning so much about ourselves and mental health in general.
@catmancam thanks Cam – yeah, I will try to rest from tomorrow as I am already feeling the exertion today. Grateful that next week will be busy week with sit down work :pray: Grateful that you did get out to your group and socialized today. I am sorry that you felt like passing out on your walk – have doctors looked into this? You were smart to come home and drink some salt – sometimes our imbalance can throw us out of whack. Hope you feel recovered from you shots soon :hugs:
@jennyh sorry the shots are taking such a toll on you. Love that your hubby was able to see that you needed rest and told you to take a nap. Hope you feel better soon.
@billy85 Oh dear friend – so great to hear from you and a HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! :birthday: Grateful that you had such a lovely time celebrating with family and friends. Check you out – so many amazing things happening for you – as they should. So glad to hear of all the lovely opportunities at your door step. Wishing for only the best for you on your sobriety journey – You are so right SOBRIETY ROCKS! Keep going strong and thank you for checking in with us :people_hugging:
@noshame I too couldn’t imagine my life without a cig in hand. I really didn’t know how people drove anywhere without smoking. And now – it’s like wow – I am not constantly at the mercy of something else. I am free as are you – 89 days is fucking awesome! Keep strong my friend you are killing it!
@mx_elle Double digits is awesome :muscle: Keep flexing your sobriety muscles

Checking in on Sunday morning
Feeling like i’ve been drugged this morning - barely awake after 3 hours of having my eyes open and two coffee’s deep… it’s gonna be a long day. I am achy all over and have a weird type of head ache today - hard to explain. My arm pits are also inflamed and hurting but luckily no rash or lumps. I have some shit to do but think i may need to sleep some more first. I know that this crap will also pass. About to make me some veggie juice :yum:
Hoping everyone has a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all much love :heart: :heart:

Hey Jazzy, I use this one:

I mix a teaspoon in with a coffee mix, like Latte or flat white Kenco. I don’t put it in my filter coffee.

I feel more sharp and energetic after it for the morning. Sometimes the mushroom isn’t what I fancy in my coffee but I really can’t moan at the flavour at all. It’s pretty nice and you can use it in soups and stews etc.
