@TheWolf sorry about your marriage 
@Laner sorry about the bad dreams, your sleep, and your sheep what a wonderful experience to share though, the wildlife refuge sounds like the perfect place for the poor guy, like Mno, it has made me feel emotional. Sending sleepy vibes for tonight 
@Wakikki feel better soon š©µ
@Thirdmonkey good to read from you 
congrats on all your timers 
@zzz welcome back
@JazzyS thank you š©µ
@Mindofsobermike I did wonder 
1362 days no alcohol.
827 days no cocaine.
342 days no vape.
3 days no binge-eating.
I caught-up here first thing, then finished the book I was reading.
Today has been much like yesterday, lots of emotion swirling around inside of me with no release. I meditated a lot. Allowed the feelings. There was also a few brief moments of calm and peace, there wasnāt yesterday, so that was helpful.
It is only day 3, and I am already having cravings for crisps and TV. Itās because I found new episodes of a show I love, when I was engaging in bingeing earlier this week and started watching it, and I hate leaving things unfinished, but I donāt feel able to watch without crisps. I managed to nap for almost 2hrs, so that passed some time, and catching-up here has taken me til itās too late to get to the shops before they close, so Iām safe for tonight. Part of me feels like I should just focus on not having takeaways or eating/drinking anything sugary for a while, rather than crisps and binge-eating too, but thatās just my addict trying to get what it wants.
Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends.

Those thoughts are lies! I can relate and I believed those lies too many times went back to the life of chaos. Youāve gotten through 62 days which were the toughest for me. Iām almost at 19 months and still struggle hard at times but I always keep those first few months fresh in my mind because I donāt think I have another do over in me. We can handle the struggles with a clear head and think it through. I definitely donāt load myself down with tasks now I have my list and work one task at a time. Sometimes I get it all done and sometimes shit waits till tomorrow. Iām proud of you Marie keep pushing forward and it slowly gets easier

Thanks @JazzyS ā¦glad you had a good day! Hope youāre arm and thumb is better soon!
Survived a Friday night birthday meal for my brother. Drinks were flowing but I wasnāt even slightly tempted. Alcohol has been a big part of my life and addictive personality for years but for some reason I donāt crave it. Zero impulse control would lead me to have beer which would then escalate. Not tonight though which was nice.
Iāve been feeling marginally better the last few days. Iām enjoying music again, having good conversations with friends and family and laughing more. Feeling a little stronger every day. Iām grateful for this and my friends, family and you guys. Youāve given me a lot a strength and helpful advice over the last couple of weeks. I canāt thank you enoughā:pray:

Had a craving tonight.
Wonāt describe it in detail, as it might trigger.
Or maybe it was just a thought.
Not sure.
Its never ājustā.
I will stay @zzz with you too. Anyway!
Thanks @CATMANCAM for understanding the special noise and sharing your experience of it as intolerable. Thanks for letting us be part of your sensitive world. We realy need to ask ourself which stimuli we choose. If we have a choice.
For using we have.
Stay.
And breathe.
Love you guys

I am one year sober from everything but nicotine (I am cigarette free since september 11 2023) and honestly you guysā¦I have a hard time believing it.
I lost my ex mother in law and my step sister in the last two years, and the both had addiction problems.
I feel like I am doing this for me, but I cant help but feel them with me and I feel like I am helping them heal as wellā¦I like to think of it that way.
They are always with me and I love them so much.
My boyfriend is 8 years sober, I am so lucky to have found him and I am so proud to share my life with him.
I am 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant todayā¦I am forever grateful.
Life is soooo good to me.
Thanks to all of you
Grateful for this community
