61 days AF checking in

Feeling quite good and relaxed,
Despite of some aching bones and muscles.
Don’t know if I am fighting against an infect or if my body is just happy about a break. :sweat_smile:

Happy :rabbit2: everyone!
Currently at work until 4pm and then home to celebrate the holiday with my fam. We dont really do much other than let our son open a few gifts and play some games. No big dinner or anything as we dont have relatives here where we live. So its pretty quiet. Had a chance to do some reading on here today which is always nice! Grateful for every single one of you :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Not much else to report right now. Looking forward to later today and for tomorrow when I can hit the gym in the morning. Have a great day everyone!!

Day #6 of abstinence from a heavy cocaine addiction!!! Feeling better every day :DDD

Last night, I saw one of my online friends went to some rave and he was doing a bunch of cocaine… It triggered pretty bad cocaine cravings in myself, but I made sure to use my strategies to calm myself down and keep me from my ā€œmonkey brainā€ taking over and making me buy/do cocaine. Unfortunately, the cravings lasted all the way to this morning. But still, I resisted the cravings and came back to my senses.

Sure, other people are able to do cocaine and be fine, but not me. I cannot allow myself to do cocaine regardless of if other people were doing cocaine. I still haven’t forgotten that I’m feeling so much better BECAUSE I’ve been staying away from cocaine and taking care of my life; I do not want my life to be on pause again. Using cocaine would’ve done nothing but put me in a very stressed-out, paranoid, negative thought loop about ā€œI have to quit I have to quit how the fuck do I quitā€ while continuously railing line after line. Fuck that shit!!!

BTW what kinda music do yall like? I’ve been listening to a lot of heavy songs about addiction. Been helping me stay sober :3 For example: Spotify

Thanks Dana.

Retired to this home 2.5 years ago and that’s when I began working on it. Every new piece was supposed to bring a stop to drinking and a focus to fitness… needless to say it didn’t but I starting amassing a decent place to start working out.

Fast forward to January when I decided to get sober and start using the gym daily… and now here we are coming up on 3 months and loving it more than I thought I ever could.

Day 137. Girls had a very good easter, they went over to there moms and then are coming to bring me home and they are staying at a hotel bc addie is getting some allergy testint done on Wednesday. We had a good night, ive been very tired and sleepy feeling. Ended up having another relapse dream last night but i dont really remember it this time. Yesterday addie went to a party and me and autumn went for a small bike ride and she played outside with some chalk, it was cold out so we didnt stay out to long. But i did catch myself thinking about how boring of a dad i felt bc idk i was just kinda sitting there watching her and i just dont know what to do sometimes. Idk it had me thinking and kind of feeling like the dad who would never go anywhere with my girls bc i always needed a beer in my hand so i always sat in my chair while they played out back or something while i got drunk. And then idk i found myself thinking of all the times that i would get high smoking crack and randomly pass out, and thinking about how any of those times i could of not woken up. Or the times id keep narcan close to me bc i would be feeling so tired after getting high or doing meth and being afraid i was going to overdose. Was i actually close to death any of those times. Idk but for some reason i was thinking about it. Much love everyone

Afternoon check in, made it back home. We are about to go to an Easter egg hunt that my brother does for the community every year. I’m gonna be on the grill I think, if not I’ll be out there just being of service wherever needed. Hope everyone’s day gets better and better. #ODAAT :heart:

Checking in Sunday afternoon here. It’s been a good morning was up early and got in a good workout and a good run after. Glad the ab challenge is over with :smile: and can get back to my normal routine. Not much planned today just some meal prep for the week and a meeting later. Hoping everyone enjoys the day :v:

Evening (ish) check in. Managed to make it out of bed for lunch, and then again a little while ago to watch 20 minutes of the most boring football match ever :roll_eyes: Now back in bed after that overstimulation, wish I was joking!

So hoping I can stay out of bed for some of tomorrow. The days are all blurring into one now, and my daughter is excited to do something for me. Husband forgot to book leave so back to work after that, so fingers crossed it works out.

Checking in on day 3.

Was meant to go round my aunt’s for Easter lunch, but I have the world’s worst cramps :frowning:
Just feeling sick and sweaty, so I’ve been trying to sleep through the pain. I’ve taken paracetamol and an NSAID and they don’t seem to be touching the sides.
Glad it’s Monday tomorrow, a fresh week.

Have a restful day all, and happy Easter to those who celebrate! :egg: :hatching_chick:

@K_S , I don’t think I’ve ever regretted a day in the gym brother. It’s all about just doing it, making it a habit, and it becomes exponentially more enjoyable the more often you do!
