@butterflymoonwoman When I think about something 2 years from now I am like whoa that is so far away but when I look back and think how far Iāve coming in the past 2 years I am shocked that I have gone through so much in such a short time. Weird how the mind works. You have been doing a lot of healing in this time and your mind has not caught up to the body (thatās my thinking) like the mind doesnāt know that this is the new life style and it does not need those stimulants to survive. No need to ever apologize for the ramble ā your processing through this stuff also helps us process. We are in this journey together my friend. Grateful that you were able to see what you were āmissing outā from and none of that sounds appealing. Much love to you dear friend ā you are on the right path and crushing it! 
@danam56 I know right now you are already feeling a bit uneasy with your relationship and for me I would not put myself in a situation around a toxic environment that could lead to a relaspse or worse. The fact that you do see that he is almost as dangerous as alcohol then I feel like you have answered this for yourself. You have come a long way friend. We are here for you 
@s_unrelax great work with your 6 days and all the recovery work you are doing. Keep up the amazing energy and efforts!
@acromouse OOH Cirque du Soleil ā abosultely loved seeing a show a few years back. Hope you enjoy! I do hope you can enjoy a short walk without any allergy attacks.
@juli1 Ah hell friend ā the mind is a wicked bitch sometimes. You are beautiful and a badass woman! Do not let your mind play tricks with you. The addict mind knows this is how it got you to buckle the last time so is trying its games again. You know better ā you know no good can come from the poison and you are crushing it Jules! 74 days and going strong
@joyce19 Welcome back Joyce ā great work on your day1. Check out the Whatās YOUR plan? thread for some inspiration and tips. Glad you are here with us
@james83 Way to go James ā 30 days aka 1 month is amazing work. Glad to see you pushing forward with your new healthy mentality and strong efforts. Keeps tacking up the days
@foxmccloud 77 days is amazing friend. Sorry you are feeling lonely and frustrated. Are you able to go to a meeting? Do something fun for yourself? Meet up with friends for some sober fun? Hoping your day turns around for you. Rural living can be lonely at times. Sometimes I video call my friend and we just do a similar activity like cooking or watching a movie togetherājust a thought 
@mrsodh I loved reading your post. Grateful that you are not feeling triggered and happily stacking up your sober days!. Your pancakes look fantastic ā glad to see you making the pancake tower and that everyone is enjoying them. 
OMG ā all this talk about pancakes has got me craving some LOL.
@dan.h84 WOOT WOOT 2 weeks is amazing Dan. Glad to see you doing so well in your journey -keep up the amazing work

@danny81 Congrats on your 1 week milestone! Glad you are feeling positive. The body and mind go through a hell of a journey in sobriety. Just remember that drinking will not help get you out of any of the lows. Stay strong Danny
@lile01 Yeah day 6. Do take it easy Indy. Donāt push yourself too far to fast ā it is imperative to listen to your body as it is healing. Please be safe
@lexi_liu Nicely done with adding on another month ā great work on 14 months of sobriety
@suechu Congrats on your 2 week milestone! OOF ā that voice can Fuck off ā such a liar it is. You will not end up back there cause you are stronger and more determined now. You know nothing will come from drinking and that the addict mind can be very manipulative. Great work on your sober time Sue! Keep up the great work
I love that mentality. Great feeling to wake up sober and with no hangovers. Happy Saturday!
Happy Saturday you beautiful sober souls!
It is a great start to the weekend. Not much sleep but do feel well rested and alert this morning. Sun is shining and i feel like my emotions are light and airy. My sisters birthday is on Monday and i wonāt be able to meet up for the celebration - so glad that she understands and glad that they will all get to go out tonight to celebrate.
Its about to be noon - not much planned for the day - will let it unfold at its will.
Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

Pancakes are my least favorite breakfast food. Too heavy in the morning. I didnāt know Swedish pancakes were different (I had to look it up too @Lighter 
). They look much more appetizing to me Iāll have to find a recipe!

My now 21 year old doesnāt like pancakes at all.
My 14 y/o refer to it as weekend food.
Last week we made pancakes during the week, and he asked if it wasnāt to unhealthy to eat during the week, because itās weekend food.
Swedish kids in general get to eat sweets and have sodas on weekends only. Friday and Saturday.
I had to explain that pancakes are pretty healthy if you donāt add to much sugar, and the reason we most have them on weekends is because it takes so long to make them
Me and the 12 y/o can eat almost anything in the morning. Leftover Pizza,Tacos,or whatever as long as itās tasty and preferably warm.
The 14 y/o is not a breakfast eater at all, but during the weekends he doesnāt wake up until lunchtime so pancakes works well

I was raised eating that way. Very different compared to how my friends, and most Americans, were raised. Healthy meals all week but come Saturday morning, I knew weād be getting something good for breakfast! Then off to Skateland for pizza, nachos, cotton candy, and loganberry (which isnāt technically soda, but the sweetest drink I was allowed).

Thatās pretty much the general rule around here.
My parents owned a fastfood place where they sold hotdogs,chicken nuggets,hamburgers and things like that.
And my father was best friend with the local pizza place owner, so we did have ājunk foodā pretty often. They smashed their own burgers, bough good quality sausages, made their own mashed potatoes, and all that. So it was nothing like McDonaldās or Pizza hut. Didnāt eat at McDonaldās until I was a grown up, Pa refused to buy burgers in the city when he had an entire restaurant with burgers back home
I loved to stay at my grandparents house when I was a kid, grandma made food like meat stews, hare and real home cooked food from whatever my grandpa and Pa was able to hunt

Hello, everyone! Wanna congratulate everyone on all of their sobriety accomplishments. Iām still reading through the thread to catch up.
Checking in. Day 115 AF. The boys and I made it to mom about 5:30-5:45 yesterday evening. It felt like we hadnāt seen her months lol. We spent most of the night in the pool until it shut down at 10:00pm. We woke up this morning and ate breakfast downstairs; now Iām sitting poolside again with the boys. I cherish these moments because there were times I wouldnāt dare go do anything with the family because of being so irritable and discontent. I wish I could back in time and do it all over againā¦but I know thatās not possible, all I can do is be the best husband, best father, best son, best brother and best supporter for the ones I love.
Have a good day, everyone 
Thought Iād share a few photos of us last night.
I love these guys!

Day #19 sober from my DOC!!! 
Iām nearly 3 weeks sober from my demon!!! 
Also, Iāll be honest last night I went to a rave with some friends and then a bar. It was a really bad idea for the alcohol sobriety tbh. Iām not too concerned about my alcohol sobriety counter since I never crave alcohol, but yeah that happened 
The friends I was with kept doing blow in the bar washroom and whatnot. Surprisingly, I chose not to partake even though there was alcohol in my system, which is a good sign that the real me is finally regaining control over my brain.
Instead of wanting to do coke with them, I was honestly feeling kinda disgusted by them doing cocaine like that. It made me kinda feel like ādamn, so thatās what I looked like to normal people who donāt do cocaine when Iād go do blow in a washroom!ā Lol 
Also, yall how do I stop myself from choosing to go out and drink occasionally? I know itās not good for me, but sometimes I get such FOMO which makes me agree to plans anyway that I know are not good for me I need to be better than this!
