Isn’t a dusting of snow wonderful? Cleans everything up nicely. I love getting bundled up too … until my puppy nocks me on my arse and it’s a struggle to get up! 
Enjoy your beautiful day

I’m going to be honest I didn’t quit the loszengis just yet
I have 2 days off after today
My first day off I’ll be trying not to do any unless I have like a nic fit
Nicotine is so unhealthy
Super unhealthy and when I quit I saw my health as bad
I’m getting healthier. Smoking isn’t really the most common sense things to do or think won’t hurt. I was inhaling smoke and chemicals in the smoke for a long time

Thabks for sharing Im not the only one. I wanted to share in case anyone else was feeling “badly” when they fpund they couldnt apply whats supposed to be a positive or motivating pump for the day. I feel like things are take or leave, and to each their own but I notice some of these I like but quite a few have this all or nothing tone…and its not just take or leave, its problematic because it enforces the all or nothing thinking!!
Hope you find a daily affirmation that suits you

Hey you gotta havw a place to let it the fuck out where you kbow we all get it. Snappy? Sure maybe. Standing up for you also? Saw that too.
You can do this, now think of small shit that needs to change, big shit that gotta go. You can do this & I know right now a big part of you feels like HELL. That part of you will tell you all kinds of shit, please dont listen. Its there, its not going anywherw but how can you care for it? What is that part of you running from? Be good to you Mike. Hang on, and dont stop fighting for yourself. You gotta show your girls what a man/dad is, you gotta show yourself you can be all you want to be and fuck probably more. Thinking of ya bud. Keep your chin up. Xo.

Checking in as I head into day 4. I started meditating again after a 4 year hiatus—just small 5 minute sessions over the last three days. I forgot just how much mindfulness helps to be able to sit with the uncomfortable and the unknown—cravings included. I know it hasn’t been long without engaging in my addiction, but I’m feeling a tiny stroke of confidence that I’ve not felt in a long time. This forum has helped so much, too. Be well, everyone!

Last night I didn’t sleep for a single second, not for a lack of trying! Insomnia is a trigger for my impulsive spending…it was mostly stuff I need and will use, I just didn’t need it right now or all at once.
I went out for my lake walk at 7:35am, then when I got home I completed the forms and questionnaires for my ASD assessment, it took 2 hours of non-stop writing, bar a 10min break in the middle. Thankfully, my hand has since stopped hurting.
I managed a short nap earlier this evening which helped my mood somewhat.
I have an in-person meet-up with a facilitator from Safe Soulmates that I haven’t met yet, she facilitates the meet-ups in the city I live closer to. I need to somehow find the motivation and energy to shower beforehand. Although I will see how I feel because I’ve developed a chesty cough and I’m a bit more achey than usual…

Here I is , checkin’ in …
I am way too in love with my new vacuum! Done the house twice already, even did the basement …WTF!
Soooo all my chores are done. It’s an ugly grey chilly day here and I am unmotivated to go for a walk. I know I should, it will be the kick in the ass I need but … I’m now in lazy mode.
I will settle for puppy and cat snuggles and a lame movie , perhaps a nap 
No cravings for alcohol or sweets anymore. Soup, I am totally craving soup!
So I guess it’s just a Meh day.
Hope yours are more exciting, wishing ya’ll a Gooder Day

I couldn’t have said that better!
Yes, that’s social media. Not social at all.
The only way is: delete your accounts, delete the apps and live in the real world

Sober day 19.
Been having major cravings most nights. I’m really struggling with life right now. I know alcohol will just add to the problems. But it would quiet my mind for a bit. Sometimes that feels like a fair trade.

Great advice. I never have done social media. It scared me when Amazon advertised on my Gmail an item I had looked at earlier in the day. It really is not healthy to be so completely entwined with technology.
