Lucky 8āsā¦ things are gonna turn around for you, I just know it.
We all need a breath of spring in our lives. Open windows and fresh air. Sheets on a line. Flowers poking up. Sunshine on our facesā¦
Itās coming and itās going to be oh so great.
Best wishes that you find something that helps. Life is too short to fight something if something else can helpā¦ well except booze and hard drugs.

Thanks for this. Youāre right and I just have to keep trying. Iāve slacked on exercise and getting endorphins which helps some people with migraines, so thatās on my list too. The sunshine we have had lately definitely helps with mood and I canāt wait to see the green things!

Sophia said I could check in again. I really need to! Not sure why, just the weirdness and wonder of Day 5. Fatigue hit me hard this morning and most of the day, but I just did a short walk and stretching.
Have to accept that Iām not bouncing back like before. Itās really doing damage and needs to go. Itās going. Iām looking at the first bright green leaves coming out a few weeks early. Strange but Iām enjoying it. Itās peaceful today. Iām looking forward to all the changes ahead. Iāll be feeling good sometime this spring. Itās early.
Appreciate the support and all the good people here. Itās reassuring to know it keeps getting better. But I only need to worry about one day. Ready for Day 6 and then that week thing where Iāll cook a special meal or something. Or someone else cooks it and brings it by.

Thatās right, you can absolutely check in more than once if needed. Thereās people on all different time zones here so thereāll almost always be someone who answers.Weāre all here for you.
I used this thread a lot my first time here, and checked in multiple times a day. It made me feel less lonely and sometimes writing something down like this also makes the thoughts easier to sort out.
Iām also waiting for all the green leaves but for now Iām happy with the few Flowers thatās already popped up. And the daylight that returns.

Checking in. I had consultation with my surgeon and apparently I can have surgery in mid-April. Itās a big relief, although I donāt seem to be able to be happy for that yet. I guess that will change once I let it sink and start to prepare for it by living healthier for quicker recovery. I also will have to quit smoking next weekā¦ That will be a huge struggle, but at least Iāll have some motivation.

Thatās right around the corner! Excited for you! Good luck with the quitting smoking. You have coping skills and tools youāve used and continue to use and Iām confident you can do it.

Its sounds like you have torn down the biggest barrier most addict have. You have the understanding that you can not do it all by your self. Keep it going and there are so many people here to listen if you need to talk.

Had some using thoughts today but pushed thru. Went for a nice leg workout and a little cardio, then bought me and hubby some Booster Juice smoothies afterwards. Was a nice treat! Eating has been alright today. Cant say the same for yesterday. I did binge last night on frozen yogurt which turned into mutliple other kinds of food. Ugh. But the positive from that is that i didnt allow my thinking to follow me into today. I focused on taking it one day at a time and just did my best to get back on track. So im proud of myself for that. Not much else to mention right now. Just about to start supper. Hope everyone is enjoying theor Wednesday. Congratulations to everyone that is celebrating a milestone today
