Hey Jazzy, Thank you! The meeting with my lawyer did go very well. She was able to omit some items regarding the abuse I endured in the relationship that weren’t necessary to be in the filing since I am just asking for the bare minimum for child support and sole custody. My fear was that he would…as I write this it’s overall fear I have of him and his family. I will be glad when this is all over! Hugs to you! :hugs:

Hi Cam,
I love your awareness. The patterns and result of our slips are painfully obvious. I am so proud of your consistent persistence and honesty. You inspire me with your resolve.
The healthier I get and the more away I get from alcohol and drugs I want to rid myself of all posions from my life. I am again on day 2 of no ciggarette. I am doing a cleanse to help speed up the recovery process. My throat is very sore and I am feeling exhausted. Looking forward to breathing clean and deep! Hugs and strength to you! :hugs:

Day 95 AF
Day 213 Cocaine free
Day 2 ciggarette free

Happy Friday all!
Been a busy yet productive week. I am dealing with a sore throat and some exhaustion past few days. I am sure it’s release from all the built up emotions I have had surrounding family court. I am starting a short term assignment at a school on Monday for three weeks. It will be a good opportunity for me to assess if I will be ready to return to full time in the fall. Going to rest today! Read and relax! Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Love and light :pray:t4::hugs::yellow_heart:

Day 98 AF

Good morning TS fam. Sleeping hasn’t been great since this neck thing started, but neck is feeling a bit better and sleeping was a bit as well last night. It’s like my sleeping is sooo tied I to my body’s feels… body off, sleep off.

Today is a double set in gym, I’m hitting hard. Down another 1.2lbs so there’s that.

It’s a heavy rain day so may as well focus on gym and overall well being. See if I can get myself tired enough for a good sleep tonight.

Well, wishing you all a good weekend.

Day 42

Bad morning. Slept poorly, and it ruins everything. Trying not to pay any attention to negative thoughts. They’re not real. They weren’t there yesterday. I’ll distract myself until my mood matches reality. My brain is a proven liar.

Goodmorning from rainy Massachusetts
Checking in on day

11months and 2 days
269 no vapes or ciggs
0.62 no thc

I missed posting my 11 month milestone. But im almost at a year. I cant wait!

269 no vape or ciggs
Still use the 2mg loszenges

Ok so im at 0.62 no form of marijuanna
I reset my timmer to 5:25 lastnight when i threw my bag in the garbage.
I told my wife that as long as we have it i cant stop. Her, being her laid back self said matt, if you dont hurt yourself or others i really dont care what you do with it so into the garbage it went. It was mostly cbd and she didnt have a problem with me and the pot because thc was less then 1%; i dont mean to justify my useing but thats very low but on the other side if i smoke 3 bowls i feel quite buzzed.
In all reality though it has thc, its flower, its regular weed. Ill keep you all posted good or bad.

Im having a good morning. I feel rested. Happy about my 11months. Itll also be a full year at my new job may 30th. I can also take my drivers test for my licence this month. Im going to do 3 professional driving lessons then go for it. The only thing im nourvous about it parallel parking

Hey everybody.

Just checking in on day 14.

Things have been going rough today. I’m not in a good mental state at the time and I feel a lot of guilt at the moment.

Gonna have to push through that I guess.

Have a good day.

Day #18 sober from my DOC!!! Yayyy!!! :DDD

I had a good meeting with my addiction therapist yesterday, and also a good meeting with my sponsor. Didn’t get the chance to workout or join a CA meeting, but definitely will do those things today :smile_cat:

Also, man I swear being sober past the withdrawal of my DOC is making a night and day difference in my personality! I actually feel like my usual cheery self!!! I realize i was constantly in withdrawal from my DOC for a long while and felt depressed af about everything, but not anymore :3

It is crazy how certain movements can stir up so many emotions. I’ve definitely finished a few workouts, typically with yoga involved, that have left me in tears. Usually in a happy way, but not always. Almost like, it had to be released :woman_shrugging: and I’m not a crier either so it’s such a strange experience. I’ve done some Les Mills programs in the past. I’ll have to take a look for that one :+1: Workout videos are what’s kept me in shape forever. Fitness has always been my passion and early on I planned on making a career of it. Sadly, drinking was always more important :roll_eyes:

I was similar in how I hid my drinking. Going out with friends, I’d order a drink or two, but had my personal stash so no one ever suspected how much I was actually drinking. If I ran out, I’d find something I ‘needed’ to get at the store so I could get more. Half the time I was just buying random things for no reason in order to hide my liquor store run :roll_eyes:

Isn’t it crazy how we make these ‘rules’ for ourselves? I had many of them, going all the way back to highschool. They were ever changing as my disease progressed. In the end, I broke them all.

Thanks for sharing. I was very similar in the making of rules and doing ridiculous things to hide it and in the end breaking them all. Heck…stupid things to hide it. I’d put on a disguise and take my horse to a village farther away to buy in a place where no one would know me and burry bottles in a pit so no one would see. It was too much and all just so ridiculous. I don’t want to fall into that again. I once became so lost in the mountains trying not to be seen and realized how much danger I also put myself in doing these things. It scared me and was something that helped me decide to talk to my best friend about my problem.
