@mx_elle Nicely done Mel – 30 + days and going strong! Keep kicking addictions ass! @sadmemequeen Oh Megan big hugs to you my friend. You are so young - I know it feels exhausting dealing with symptoms, pain and anxiety without having support from your family members. I do hope that you are able to discuss all your concerns with your doctor next week and hopefully get some direction to your healing journey. I can sympathize with you and know that it is devastating to be in a constant circle of fighting with your body and then trying to keep your mind on a positive path. Are you able to immerse yourself in something that makes you happy (listening to good music, watching something funny or talking with a friend…etc). @zzz way to go on your 40 days! Congrats
Checking in on Sunday night
319 days free of alcohol and weed
734 days free of cigarette
I am checking in feeling much better than in the past few days. Grateful for this community and grateful for my mother and her positive attitude. I am again hopeful that i will heal and get back to my former healthy self. Our minds are powerful - we can do whatever we set our minds to ODAAT my sober companions.
Wishing everyone had a wonderful addiction free day / evening. Sending you all so much love
@JazzyS Gracias. It’s a trip being sober this long. I remember going through some brutal withdrawals around this month. I thought I was gonna cave. I’m still putting in the work daily . A lot more manageable now. Yeah, no more lattes for me. Not gonna lie. It was delicious, lol. I had a pretty chill day with the wifey today. Can’t complain about much. Staying focused. Living in the moment. Making new memories…sober. Congrats to you, too! Bout to hit the hay. It’s back to the grind tomorrow. Gnite!
Not much to report today, expect that I did sleep a little better. Took a long time to fall asleep and I was awake after 2 hours of sleep, but I opened my window to let the cold air in, bundled back up in bed and slept until 10:00. Only 6 hours of sleep, but that’s the most I’ve slept in a long time.
Spent the day at home alone. Just did work around the house with football on in the background. I did settle in on the couch for the Cowboys game, what a let down. Managed to get my daily November workout in, had a couple hours of work to get done in order to make tomorrow more managable. My ex text me, she’s having a hard time, so it was good to catch up with her and try to lighten her mood.
Doing a little reading before bed and crossing my fingers that I sleep tonight.
Happy to be sober, enjoying getting to know myself again.
It’s still weird not to start my morning by checking Facebook and Insta, I deleted them.
To many distraction in life, too many houres waisted.
But still missing it though. I guess it needs more time to change that habit. I’m not going to let it back in.
Today? Having the day off so going for a walk with a friend to catch up time. Top it off with a lunch in a restaurant.
Made this picture yesterday: the Nortern lights in the Netherlands! I live in the south of my country and I’ve never seen it before!
Awww thank you @JazzyS for the fireworks
Glad to hear you feel a bit better and so good to hear your Mom is lifting you up with her positive attitude. Moms are the best!
Thank you @SoberWalker I’m very happy about the triple digits and I really start to feel the benefits of Sobriety. Still struggling with productivity though, but working on it.
Wow just saw the picture you’ve posted Wow that’s amazing. Have a wonderful day of and enjoy the time with your friend.
I’m 58 today. Crazy stuff. Very grateful to celebrate sober and clean, even though actually making something of my life is hard work. Not having the easiest of times at the moment but nothing would be made better when I escaped into drinking or drugging. Or indulging in porn for that matter.
The corona shot I got yesterday morning made me sleep more than I have in many years. First five hours in the afternoon. Then I made myself dinner and watched some tv and then slept nine hours more. I’m still not totally rested but it feels totally different from the hangovers I used to wake up to.
I remember everything from yesterday. I remember my dreams. My mind is clear. I did my journaling. I’m ready for this day. After I had another mug of coffee that is. Will have lunch with my sister and see what the day will bring further. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from de Pijp.
@happyfeet Huge congrats on reaching triple digits Anne! Hope you sleep well.
Checking in on day 372 before getting ready for work.
It’s been a busy old week since I got to the 1 year milestone last Monday.
.
Think I need to call the doc this morning for an appointment, i don’t think my meds are working as they should and i seem to feel tired and sore no matter what I do.
Happy Birthday Mno! Sorry to hear you’re going through some ruff days, but keep fighting, better days ahead! Hope today is the start of those better days!
Day 135. Slept better last night.At some point I will pick my dad up from hospital, drop him off and then make my way back to Cornwall. It’s turned out well but we are all shattered. The hospital has been great with him. So noisy here. Time for a coffee. Today I will be alcohol free
I live in the south of my country and I’ve never seen it before!
I hope you have a really nice day and it gives you a break from feeling out of sorts
