I know how those days are. A shower and clean clothes are a huge accomplishment! Be gentle with yourself and rest as much as you need to.
This is what I like to remind myself:

Iām up very early getting ready for an early work meeting, with meetings lined up all morning. Was woken up a bunch during the night by my baby girl.
Iām repeating myself here, but Iām so so so glad I didnāt drink Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This would have been way more rough.

The ways of the drugs and drinks didnāt change for me
It was always the same thing over and over
The experience just got worse and worse
What I thought was fun wasnāt
Substances are backstabbers

@tailee17 Hey Lam ā whatās going on? Exciting that you are getting closer to the triple digits 
Hope you are doing well.
@hidden I am sorry you experienced this Chris. I also was thinking Vertigo when reading your post. I do hope you are able to find relief soon. The neck exercises do help my mom a lot - hope they do the same for you.
@tragicfarinelli 28 days is marvelous! I am so sorry that lifeās rough atm ā we are here for you my friend ā¦ lean on us 
How has your day been progressing?
@misokatsu So grateful that you are well my friend. Always lovely to hear from you. 
@timetochange How are you doing not? Were you able to shake off the flatness?
@trixie1 you are doing great ā wishing you much luck for this weekās goals ā we got your back here!
@jennyh ugh that sounds like a not so fun day for you! You are a sweet mom for sitting through this so your daughter can enjoy herself. Are you able to listen to tunes? Sorry the painkillers are not more effective.
@deelzebub that nasty depression ā I am sorry that it is trying to come back. Grateful that it is not as strong and you were able to take a shower and get dressed! Gentle baby steps my friend. You are doing amazingly well. 
This is an awesome achievement and worth repeating! Keep going strong 
@Catmama23 Hey love - havenāt heard from you in a while and just hoping you are doing well. Hope the sponsor has been helpful for you.
@Looking4Support Waking up feeling beat up - i am familiar with this and its a blah numb feeling all around. I am sorry James - this is a day for self love. Show yourself some compassion today and be gentle on yourself. You are going through a lot emotionally and your body / mind need a day of care
Checking in on Monday morning-
I woke up this morning and really wasnāt ready to face the day. I did crawl back into bed (grateful that i have this option) and iām glad i did. Feel a bit better now and need to clean up this house today. Have a few other chores and a bit of work to accomplish. Will take it with one task at a time.
Hoping everyone has a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all much love

Checking in on day 103. I wish everyone some peace of mind, especially those grappling with depression, loneliness, and insomnia. These are with me lately. We just have to press on, and allow whatever is , to simply be. And itās tough sometimes. But like everything else in life, these things donāt last. Everything changes. Keep going.

Day 47 no alcohol.
This time of year has been quite the temptress but Iām holding on strong.
Carefully balancing life.
@Tragicfarinelli This must be very stressful, sending you peace. Maybe this could be an end for a new beginning? 
@Pattycake I feel you on the depression and loneliness.
Canāt reply to everyone, time to conquer Monday! Gotta to take my boys to doctor and orthodontist. Then back to studies and work. Life doesnāt pause, but we can breathe between.

One thing at a time sounds like a good idea. It could get overwhelming and mess up everything. Keep it up!

Relieved.
My cousin is back. His daughter found him sleeping in a car in front of their house. After a week. What a selfish motherfucker. I know itās addiction but for fuck sakeā¦ He told me some time ago he met some young (ofcourse young) girl on rehab and they became friends. I finally reached her on FB today morning and talk a little. She said she didnāt hear from him a month or so. I told her police is looking for him. After some time after this he turned on his phone (still wasnāt answering from anybody), we seen mssges on whatsapp was delivered etc, there was a signal when we called. And then he showed up. Coincidence? I dont care. Important that heās alive. He lost a lot of battles already.
Iām just glad heās back.
