Checking in. Tough start to the work morning ā was up with the baby girl at 10pm, midnight, and 2-4 this morning.
Iām doing all I can and giving my best though, with no guilt or regrets adding weight.

Iām 2 days in and I beat several triggers on social media this morning. Damn meme pages loveeeeeee randomly advertising OnlyFans models. Needless to say I unfollowed. But it felt pretty good. I felt in control and was able to rationalize without getting anxious and losing it. Itās definitely a small win, but I feel super good about it 
Howās everyone doing?

It is what it isā¦ In a weird way, itās helping me lean into the mindset of āI canāt control the triggers, but I can control my reactionsā. Triggers are inevitable, so I gotta learn to live with them
Glad to hear that youāre doing well!

Checking in on day 137 AF.
The weather isnāt conducive to going out today but I had a scheduled appointment with my psychiatrist this morning and then I took my son to the barbershop this afternoon. Back home now for the day and cosy by the fire with the radio on.
The psychiatrist was happy for me to continue with the medication as it is and explained a couple of things to me. He trusts me to manage my evening medication dose in terms of how my sleep is by myself. This week Iām generally taking the higher dose but I can switch down if I feel that Iām over sedated. The Escitalopram seems to be working nicely. Iām not feeling anywhere near as bad as I was a couple of weeks back. Fingers crossed the worst is behind me now.
Wishing everyone an addiction free day.

@wcan great number 1129! I totally understand how change (even good changes can shake up the foundation). We are here for you ā keep checking in 
@just_laura love that you are so in love with sobriety and open about it. I really havenāt had a chance to be social yet but do hope to be open about it when the time comes. I too wonder what I must have smelled like thinking that no one would know that I drank / smoked cause I can pick up the scents on others instantly. Such denial I lived in.
@mindofsobermike Iām glad you got some sleep. Our bodies do need the few days of deep sleep at the beginning of our sober journey (so much detoxing to be done and cleansing of the body takes energy). Glad you went back to class and are not far behind like you had imagined. Iām sure you can make up the assignment from last night. Keep moving forward. Its not too late to follow through with your commitments. Get back to your routines with work outs, meetings and find someone to check in with regularly now that you are living in your place. You are not a fuck up. A relapse does not define you. You are an amazing human Mike and need to start talking to yourself in a positive way. I have seen you thrive and seen you continuously show up for yourself ā this is a bump in the road and this too will be overcome. Stay connected with us
@holysquid my goodness that sounds draining and annoying for sure. Grateful that you have your space back and are hopefully able to recharge in peace. Your day of self care sounds awesome ā enjoy!
@barber508 90 in 90 ā howās that going? See you thriving at 39 days! Keep up the awesome work.
@zzz congrats on your 3 weeks of sobriety!
@nordique very cool number 1222 ā keep stacking on the days 
@mx_elle hey rockstar ā you are crushing it with 2 weeks under your belt! Doing amazing things in keeping you on this this path ā keep going strong!
@rastana Well done on 43 days Annie! I am sorry that you are dealing with depression and loneliness. Do you have anyone to talk to in real life (a friend, therapist, counselor)? Great job on playing the tape forward and realizing that drinking will not be wise. We are here for you if you need to chat. Sending you comforting vibes!
@lorelai Iām sorry for the blah feeling ā I have not had Covid but hear that it does take the body some time to recover fully from all the lingering effects. Just be gentle with yourself. It does not help that this is also cold and flu season and with the change in temps the body could be going through multiple stuff. Sending you healing vibes my friend. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks 
@tragicfarinelli Big hugs to you my friend. I am so very sorry that you are dealing with such bullshit and your feelings are totally understandable. This colleague can get away with saying such things cause you are not there and this makes it easy for them. She is a coward and for sure a ass hat! I know itās easier to say let this bs slide but in reality this shit stings (even when you know its all lies). Do not let her have this power over you. I know you are a caring and loving human being. I feel for you and want to provide you comfort. Sorry for all the past emotions this is drudging up. Sending you so much support ā we are here if you need to talk
@cpwalsh94 way to go on completing day 1 ā it really is a one day at a time journey. Keep pushing forward and know the withdrawals and fatigue will not last. The nostalgia is smoke and mirrors. You are healthier without the DOC and do not need it to live a happy fulfilled life.
You are doing great and I know its got to be rough which also dealing with a baby girl throughout the night. Guilt and regrets are the addict voice trying to regain control. You know you are doing your best and this is awesome. Keep pushing forward
So well put. Unfortunately, triggers can be just about anything for anyone and they are literally all around. We need to make ourselves stronger so that we are not phased by them. Glad you did unfollow as we donāt need to unnecessarily put ourselves in the path of our triggers. Wishing you well on day 2!
@zzz too funny ā Yah indeed! Love celebrating each milestone 
Checking in on Thursday morningā¦ damn the weeks are just flying by. I am grateful to have had a lovely morning coffee date with my mom. Have caught up on TS and now will try to take a nap as the coffee is not doing its thing and i am feeling overwhelmed with exhaustion. May just need to get under the covers and warm my body.
Have work to do but luckily i can do it from bed if i set everything up right 
Hope you all have a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all much love
