Now I remember you mentioning it previously. Sounds exiting!
I used to be a refugee kid and the help we got from volunteers was so unbelievable! I will never forget their kindness and help.
Checking in on day 12 I believe now. Urges are strong again. My brain tries to trick myself into slipping up and using again but not letting it get to me this timeā¦ So im sitting here awake at 4:30 in the morning trying to keep occupied doing other things. Work in about 8 hours too
Stay strong friend! The voice of addiction is a very sneaky, cunning and persuasive one. Good job on spotting it in your mind. Whatever it might tell you: You donāt want it. Itās all lies. Remember this: It only tells lies!
Sending you strength and a mindset of tenacity
Day 88
Enjoy
Creeping up on that 90 days friend, well done, proud of you!
Day 540
Getting ready to go to sleep at almost 9 am. I have had a really terrible sleep schedule this past week. Hopefully Iāll get 8 hours. Or something close to it ā¦
So for my trip, I have the rental booked and paid for, and an activity planned and paid for.
And a little over $1000 saved on top of that (so far) for other expenses. Gas /food
Just need to save another 3k in the next couple months.
Is sounds daunting. But thinking back to when I was in active addiction, I could easily spend $1500 a month getting high. Hopefully I can put all that saved money to use on this trip.
Of course, these days I am paying down credit cards (paid 6 completely off!) and spending more on food for the houseā¦ But Iām gonna try my best!
Hope yāall are doing ok today
Day #8 sober from daily cocaine abuse yessir!!!
Feeling a bit sleepy today, couldnāt sleep that well last night but Iām doing good still
Today is day 50!!
My son is coming home for a visit to celebrate his 10th high school reunion. He did not like school much so I am proud that he is making an effort. He is in such a good place and I am really proud of him. I am super excited to spend some time with him.
Went to dinner last night and my husband had been overserved and fell out of his chair. I was mortified, disappointed etc. The manager wanted us to sign something saying he would not sue the restaurant. I totally understand where they were coming from. We left quickly and I had to leave most of my dinner. Another good motivator to not drink!!
A nice spring day here in the South. Have a great one everybody.
Seeing you here always makes my day Scorpn. Hope youāre getting a good rest. You need and deserve it. Huge hugs and much much love friend.
Checking in on day 265. Love and strength to all.
8 days mate!! How good is that!! Iām struggling with sleep too so I got some natural vitamins to help relax me.
Checking in at day 15 no alcohol. Halfway to a month. Letās goooo!
Hell yeah homie!!! Congrats :DDD
Btw try melatonin for sleep if you havenāt already, I find it can help you sleep as long as you donāt take it too often
Iāll check it out!! Have a good day mate. See you tomorrow
Btw not sure what your rules are around sobriety, and Iām not trying to promote drug use when I say this but: I use weed medically, like I use such a tiny amount every day that if you were to weigh out the one bong rip I take before bed, itās literally less than a 0.1g, itās like a 0.05g lol. I find when I use such a small amount like this, the benefits of weed making me not get so much insomnia outweigh the negatives for me
I find if you donāt get cravings/addiction to weed and you just use the same really tiny amount every day before bed it can help you sleep (when you use it as a sleep aid and not as a recreational drug). But, the quality of sleep you get isnāt as good as not taking weed and just sleeping normal.
Again, using weed like this isnāt for everyone. If you get addicted to weed then definitely donāt do this and you gotta be very honest with yourself if you choose to do this, but I find using weed like this helps me sleep better even compared to melatonin since I suffer from bad insomnia ever since I was a kid. I have a medical card so Iām technically prescribed this keep in mind
Iām medically approved for it too but I canāt have any in my system as I drive for work and itās too risky. We lose our license on the spot if we are caught with drugs in our system even if itās medicinal. Besides, Iām thinking weed needs to take a hike too, I havenāt had any since I drank last so I might just steer clear altogether. I was a massive bong head in my late teens and think I did a fair bit of damage to the old brain back then. Thanks for thinking of me though man!
Checking in day 93
Terrible weather here today with tornado warnings and watches all aroundā¦ it throws my anxiety sky high while my kids are at home in spring break and Iām at workā¦
Phewwww letās make it through this day sober and safe
Congrats on 50 days!!!
