@MrsOdh Congrats on getting back to 2 months sober, Sophia. :100::fire::fire:
@Danwood85 Congrats on a full week sober.:fire:
@wahtisnormal Congratulations on 2 weeks sober Zoe :muscle:
@CATMANCAM Sorry about the binge Cam, but don’t ever be embarrassed to come on here, some things take longer than others, and your crushing your other addictions. I know you’ll get this one too.
You think the fact that you’re having trouble with the feelings that might come up from the pictures is weighing on you subconsciously a little more than you realize, and causing the relapse? I don’t know, maybe once you’re able to process that, it might be easier to tackle that particular addiction. :person_shrugging::v::green_heart:

@CATMANCAM , you’ll get this Cam, you’ve got some great control over the other vices, sometimes it’ll just take some more time. Glad you shared though and are still going to keep working. As for pics and associated feels, take your time, you’ll know when you’re ready.

@Cjp , sorry to hear of the crappy sleep situation but nice to see you taking advantage of and getting after it. Productivity rocks and makes us feel so good on the accomplishments! It also may just tire ya out for that sleep!!:sleeping: haha.

Day 114 AF

Slept decently and laid in bed a bit longer than usual. Felt good, trying to psyche myself out for my tasks ahead.
But I’m feeling great and strong, so we’ll just have to tackle it ODAAT… that motto works in so many levels. I love it.

Get out and after it if ya can TS peeps, if not, don’t beat yourself up. Staying sober and clean is tough in of itself. Whatever way you live your day, be proud of the hard work that you all are putting in!!

Day 58

Starting my day over as I was too tired to get up for real. Loud storm/flooding this morning! Glad I got back to sleep. I tried a new trick again, the first time by accident. How to Get Back to Sleep at 3:

  1. Get up at 3:04am.
  2. Be mad
  3. Make a large coffee.
  4. Cry on TS
  5. Do some deep breathing
  6. Fall asleep and wake up sane :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::muscle:.

I think I was so tired anything would have knocked me out! Can’t wait for non-early sobriety

Congratulations @MrsOdh on your 2 months! :tada:

@butterflymoonwoman how are you doing Dana? Were you able to get any rest last night. Hoping your day goes smoothly my friend :people_hugging:
@Chuckie22 how are you doing Charlie? Thinking of you :hugs:
@MrsOdh woohoo 60 days is fantastic Sophia. Grateful to be here on this journey with you :pray:t4:
@SY1234 congratulations on your 1 week milestone :muscle:t4:. Keep stacking up the days and in time you’ll find new associations to events and tasks and alcohol will be less appealing. Sorry about the staff…I totally agree that it seems the newer generation is more self entitled and looking for something without putting in the work. It is frustrating as hell as a business owner. I do hope you their bad attitude does not continue to affect you.
@acromouse great work on your timers… yeah 1 week milestone :muscle:t4: :tada:. I do hope you start feeling better and can enjoy the rest of your Sunday :people_hugging:
@Danwood85 woot woot 1 week down! That’s impressive work Dan… keep up the great work :muscle:t4:
@MrFantastik hope your daughter feels better soon :pray:t4: glad your mood is improving :blush:
@wahtisnormal 2 weeks!!! You are crushing it Zoe … great work friend :+1:t4: :muscle:t4:
@Bunto great to see you back and working hard to stay on track. A solid plan helps…are you able to find ways to keep yourself busy during the peak times the urges hit? Are you able to to meetings or log on here for support? Can you stay away from triggering places/ people? It just takes baby steps friend…you are not alone…we are here to help you… stay strong :muscle:t4:

@cjp sorry to hear about your sleep. Impressive that you are being so productive with such little sleep. Hopefully you will wear yourself out and finally be able to get some zzz’s.
@Nordique loving that number :heart:… keep up the amazing work :muscle:t4:
@Lighter lol… great work on figuring out a way to get more sleep. Hope you are now rested and enjoying your Sunday :people_hugging:

Good morning beautiful people. happy Sunday
Was a rough night with little sleep and got awakened with a damn text at 7 this morning. Got semi caught up here and am going to attempt to sleep some more.
It’s a cooler rainy day here and I do love sleeping to the sound of rain.
Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day…
Sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

Day 25 of being sober was a success! I woke up feeling so good today. Had a great morning out with my home group here and then have been relaxing. It’s been raining all day and was way too muddy for a hike but I had fun taking one of the horses out for a bit. Got pretty wet and muddy but was a great time. Mud season is the only time I miss indoors plumbing :rofl: made tomato soup for dinner. Will go to bed soon and am hoping to sleep well again. Hope everyone else is also having a great day!

I agree with the advice, although when you’re with me I’ll know where to go to have a good time without running the risk of ending up in a stampede. Amsterdam is more than the canals and the Jordaan.
