Checking in daily to maintain focus #63

@maxwell you are a strong woman Maxine. Doing great work at the cusp of your 2 month milestone! I am grateful that you were able to grieve Riley’s loss with your son. Much love to you my friend. You are not alone :people_hugging:
@rosacando So grateful that you are doing better today. My goodness that was a hell of a day and I’m sorry that you experienced such a triggering panic attack. I am grateful that you will be able to park upfront from now on and avoid the alley. Great job on not leaning to any temporary relief.
@sober_ken Way to go with 70 days Kenny! Glad that your mood turned around on you – keep going strong :muscle:
@matt Sorry that you are struggling friend. We are here – talk to us. Do get in touch with group, friends and your sponsor – the more support the better. You are not alone in this and will get through this patch too. Sending strength :muscle:
@happy_trails I do hope you are resting now and breathing easy. It can’t be easy when you are worried about a loved one and can’t communicate. Hoping your anxiety eases up and you will get a good nights rest. Waking up to 60 days of sobriety!
@lighter Glad you are here with us Marie. Yes, definitely check in as many times as needed. I also spent a lot of time reading through the many threads in my early days and on my off days now to help keep me on the sober track. Very smart to have a plan for when your friend visits. With our addiction, we are always on guard and should have a plan on how to protect our sobriety. Keeping us in your pocket may also be helpful. This site is active day / night so someone is always around to listen and help. Hope you did get in that 2nd hot bath – self care is so important in our sober journey!
@butterflymoonwoman Big hugs my friend. I am so very sorry for all that you are going through and very disheartened to hear about this organization not accepting you. The reasoning doesn’t seem sound – are you able to challenge it? I do hope you get some support systems in place through Facebook or other cancer support groups :pray: I know I can’t relate with what you are going through but am here for you whatever you need :people_hugging:
@rookie Way to go with your 17 days of sobriety. It can’t be easy when you partner is in active addiction. We can only address our own addiction and hope that our loved ones will see the positive changes and follow suit. A thread that you might find useful - Are you affected by a loved one who’s an addict?

Checking in on Thursday night
435 days free of alcohol and cigarettes
850 days free of weed
Been a bit more active today. Still in a lot of pain and drowsy (not sure why so drowsy). Glad i can sleep and rest. Can’t believe it’s been a week today since my surgery (totally felt like it was just a few days ago). Not much to report. Haven’t even had the slightest urge for any of my DOC’s which is great.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:
