One week sober from daily cocaine use yessir!!! 
Feeling good today!!! I havenāt truly hit one week sober for a long while until now!!! Even when I was in active addiction Iād hit like 5 days at most before relapsing usually, but today I finally broke past that!!! Woohoo!!!
Finally back at work today, itāll be a bit challenging keeping my sobriety while working, but I have a plan! Iām going to set a hard boundary where once itās 5pm Iām done working for the day so that I donāt overwork myself and end up slipping into my old habits!

Devon is amazing, we where in Buckfastleigh in December to ride the Polar Express on the South Devon Railway.
We stayed at the Abbey Inn.
Past some amazing Coastline on the train ride back to London. Everyone we met was more than lovley, extremely helpful.
Good food. Absolutely lovley in every way.
Just sad that we where kinda in a rush. We booked Thursday-Saturday just for the Polar Express ride Friday night.
Which also was Magical in every way.
But if we go back, weāll definitely have more time to explore the surroundings and Especially Dartmoor.

I can understand why you may be questioning wether u have switched addictions. I actually went thru this many years ago when i tried to get clean at that time. To meā¦ it doesnt sound like youve switched addictions. It DOES sound like you have a strong passion for healthy living though, which isnt a bad thing.
For myself, i knew that I had a problem and had switched addcitions, when i would get extremely irritable if i couldnt workout (almost like I needed my fix), or when id workout for 2 hours a day, 7 days a week and still wouldnt feel satisified with what i did during my workouts. Id push myself so hard that Id injury myself and then not take proper care of my injury bcuz i still wanted to workout. Now with my exercise, i can still get addicted to it but im more aware of where that could take me so try to find balance instead 
I would try to just focus on balance and finding a good routine that works for u and ur schedule. I think ur pretty self aware and if you notice that āunhealthyā obsession creep up, you can then do something about it

In my opinion, even if you were replacing your addiction with exercise, I donāt really see it as a bad thing unless youāre exercising so much that itās causing issues in your life that outweigh the benefits. Exercise can be a healthy way to get dopamine, good for the body and mind! Obviously donāt overdo it but I wouldnāt worry too much about it unless you were like overtraining or if it was affecting you more negatively than good
Also, about overtraining, I used to be really hard-core into bodybuilding. Itās actually rather hard to overtrain the body to the point where youāre damaging the muscles more than benefitting them. That only really happens to like elite high-level bodybuilders, Iāve never gotten to that point of overtraining even when I was lifting for 2-3 hours every day to failure. You will know if youāre truly overtraining because you will be getting a ton of injuries despite perfect form and probably getting a condition where youāre like pissing out blood, I forgot the name of the condition but itās basically when the muscles are breaking down way too much.
If youāre simply getting injuries without that condition of dark pee/blood, then it might just be a matter of reviewing your form. Improper form or doing exercises that are considered outdated is one of the biggest causes of injuries.
Again, Iām not a doctor or physiotherapist, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but this is just my opinion

Gooooooood morning TS fam! Hows everyone doing this fine Monday morning?? I slept like a baby last night and feel quite rested this morning. My inital plan was to exercise bright and early but I couldnt get down to the gym bcuz of a different nurse that was with my son last night. I didnt feel comfortable leaving her alone in our home. So ill be doing an at home leg workout later today. Going to be playing some games with my son in a bit (Monopoly) and doing some tidying up. Not much else to report. Beautiful day here and Im grateful to be alive!!!

Checking in day 575! Been a bit since I checked in. Things are going well- moved to a new apartment started with a new fitness trainer. Feeling very tired and low energy today (probably because weāre having really dreary, rainy weather) but pushing through at work.
Wishing everyone a magnificent sober Monday

Day 282. I am ready to go back to work tomorrow. Too much time on my hands and lousy weather.
Ordered some new trousers and some smart tops. Trying to smarten up
Cold here. Listening to Coldplayā¦
Probably making pasta with black pepper and parmesan later with a bowl of salad.

I appreciate your knowledgeable insight Eric, thank you.
I donāt suspect I would be so hardcore focused to the points you describe (urine in blood); at least not for a far bit down the road of ever. Just putting in a solid foundation currently is the plan, then start back in with increased intensity next fall/winter.
Iām always just looking ahead and wanted thoughts on replacement of one thing for another, but as youāve shown, Iām probably still quite a ways away from being that hardcore.
Thanks for sharing some helpful advice.

Thanks Dana, I think hearing the different thoughts shared, Iām probably not in any danger of crossing anything of concern at the present moment.
The great thing about asking is I get smart knowledgeable folks like yourself is I get some insight into what crossing that line may look like, and knowing that, appeases my mind that Iām not in that camp currently and I know what to be on the lookout for.
Glad to hear you got a great rest, itās massively important for that clarity and energy to take care of your self so as you can give great attention to your son as well.
Wishing you a wonderful day!

@CATMANCAM Firstly thank you for all your ongoing support, it means alot.
And congratulations on your 30 days no energy drinks thatās brilliant- I think I need to join you on this one.
Congratulations on all your milestones.
I know you reset sugar and takeaway timer, not sure I should say much as I donāt have experience and donāt want to say anything triggering but donāt be too hard on yourself, you had a normal portion and that shows you have built more self control. You know what is best for you but you are doing really well so pleased remember that too my friend

@IamThechange Congratulations on your 4 months and for your support Glad your feeling good and proud because you should!
@james83 Congratulations on your 18 days This time change messes me up for a few daysto weeks, also with it being lighter for longer in the evening - takes me a few weeks to adjust. I keep hearing about this book and I think tonight I will listen to it. I have purchased it on audio way back.
@JazzyS Havenāt seen you, hope you are doing okay
@Debs1 Welcome to the community and huge congratulations on your 2 years today
