@rob11 Great to see you checking in Rob ā how are you doing? Congrats on your 39 + months of sobriety!
@seb 40 days is amazing work friend ā great work on the 5k hike ā glad you had a beautiful day for it.
@butterflymoonwoman Sending you so much love my friend. I am grateful that you had a chance to cry it out ā totally understandable to be that angry. I canāt even imagine all that you are going through. Also very glad that you are able to find gratitude in this situation. I know that can be hard at times but we do need to look for the positive as I think positivity draws positivity. 
@deelzebub Thanks for your thoughts love. I do hope you were able to get out for your walk and feel better with the outdoor air. Your pizza looked amazing tonight ā I love your Saturday ritual. So happy for socializing over coffee 
@chevy55 Thanks friend ā appreciate you! Glad your wife is home. Have fun with your mini road trip and game tonight
@rookie Yeah day 40! Absolutely the best feeling to wake up hangover free!
@noshame Yeah to 4 months of no THC ā your days are really stacking up all around 
I loved this and you most definitely are not alone. You are loved and supported my friend. Grateful that you are reminding yourself of the horror of day 1 and that thought will keep you from going back! Flex those sober muscles and go forwards!
@sobrietyforme 2 weeks is amazing work ā keep stacking up the days
@ashley_luvz_starz YEAH to almost getting to the 1 year mark girl! So excited and looking forward to celebrating with you. Kick those cigs to the curb. We will be here to help support you ā check out the Grumpy A-holes (quitting cigarettes/ nicotine products) thread for tips and support also.

@acromouse I have a small air fryer that is the size of my coffee maker and easy to use and clean. It has truly changed my life. Try shopping around ā Iām sure you will find one that may work for you. I know some toaster ovens now also come with a air fryer option.
@timetochange Remind yourself of how far you have come and all the efforts you are putting in daily ā you are strong and should be proud of your accomplishments. The sense of failure sneaks in when our addict mind tries to take us back to our old life. Keep pushing forward
@lile01 YIPPEEE!! 
if your body is asking for rest and you are able to do so then rest my friend. I slept sooooo much in the beginning of my journey. It gives your body time to repair itself and heal. Way to go on your 2 week milestone!
@tomek Congrats on your 1 week smoke free! That is a great accomplishment. I was in a mood for some time after I quite smoking ā you just keep pushing forward and hopefully the mood will get better soon too!
@tifflynn07 funky moods can FRO ā hope all your tactics helped and you are able to relax and unwind this weekend.
Checking in on Saturday evening
458 days free of alcohol and weed
873 days free of cigarettes
Not much going on today. Had a rough night as i had a bad migraine on top of everything else. Glad i was able to be rid of it by the time the sun came up. Did manage to have a dream where i was drinking and smoking and luckily i was in a half sleep state so i picked up on it being a dream and shooed it away. It was a disgusting feeling for a second and was very grateful to have figured out it was only a dream.
Got to spend some time with my brother today as he dropped by to check in.
Not much going on - no answers as of yet from the test and now thinking it will be Monday some time till i hear back.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love.

The last 36 hours have sucked. I have not drank any wine. Today is day 180 af.
Spent a good part of yesterday with my son and his family at the hospital for one of there other family members. The person was taken in the morning by ambulance, passed away at 8:46 pm last night. This person was diagnosed with lung cancer back in 2018, never told anyone, and chose no treatment. He has smoked like crazy forever. This person lived with them and was my dil grandpa. Everyone is just kinda in shock.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Thought id maybe take a second to check in with everyone. Last night was a rough night. Maybe got 2 hours of sleep combined. But thankfully today my son seems to be on the mend. He had lots of other tests done and received other kinds of medication. We played numerous games of Uno and its almost 7pmā¦ so almost time to wind down the day. Then ill relax abit and head to bed myself. Hope everyone is doing okay

Day 6
I woke up at 8am , Today is Sunday so my office is off.
I had a cold shower and made a smoothie with Almonds, Peanuts, Oats, Raisins, Banana, Honey and Milk.
Im grateful for the sleep quality i got yesterday night beginning was terrible but now my sleep is improving.
I know weekend gets cravings more because we are not busy but i never think for that.
Im planning for 1 hour walk into hypermarket:)

Day 274. Up early listening to victorialand by the cocteau twins
Love this album so much
Todayā¦ Putting in a couple of big plants outsideā¦ Going on a dog walk and relaxing. I may try and watch dune and see if itās any goodā¦
I love spring. Great to see the plants getting ready to growā¦
I think my addictive mind was f@@king with me yesterday. I think the gap in my life is my adult children arenāt arsed. Thatās it really. They arenāt. I keep pretending it will improve but I donāt think it will. No Christmas cards, birthday cards, fathers day cards or wedding cards (sadly all this is related to my divorce rather than alcohol as I was nearly three years sober at the time)
I still have the occasional nightmare of my ex with the chap she had an affair with
Onwards and upwards I guess

Day 25
Had a really fun day at Nordby yesterday, bought a lot of glutenfree groceries. And candies for Easter. Even fresh eggs was half price compared to anywhere else, even for us Swedes.
Unfortunately it was totally crowded so everything took twice as long. We didnāt count with the fact that the Norwegian kids also went on Easter/Spring Break this Friday. And ofc a lot of families like ours did their Easter Shopping/preparations to celebrate the Easter/spring break.
My 12 y/o got more fishing gear, and my 14 y/o bough a Kaptein Sabeltann toy sword. (Kaptein Sabeltann is a Norwegian Pirate kids show)
We also got to meet and great the Great Easter chicken from Easter Island, some free candy. And they both won a T-shirt at the gym supplies store. (We went in for protein powder, but after a taste try our 14 y/o decided that he absolutely wonāt like it so we didnāt bought any)
Kids where over the top happy.
Today we have 0 plans except chill,so some laundry, clean a bit. Thatās all. A chill Sunday.
Wishing yāall the best.
