Let me be the first to say 42 days is HUGE! One day at a time as you well know, but enjoy and lean into the amazing things you’ve done over the last 6 weeks.
Proud of you

Day 45 - Enjoy a beautiful lunch hour outside at work today, paired with a croissant and a lemonade (would have usually been a sneaky pint)
Dealing with some stress of not knowing if my recent car collision will turn into my car being written off, or what, but like my recovery I am taking it one day at a time and trying to enjoy the little victories.
Much love, breath in gratitude breath out the stuff that is not serving you!

Husband update.
Don’t know much more than before, he’s staying at the hospital.
All they said this afternoon was that there’s no huge risk for a big stroke anymore.
So that’s good.
What’s not good is that the doctor from the hospital has requested all the doctors notes, and all the X-rays even the new ones that we haven’t got any information about yet.
And she said that there’s something that’s not looking good on the new X-ray.
I don’t know what, she didn’t say.
Hopefully I’ll get more information tomorrow, and hopefully he’ll be back home tomorrow.
Once again thank you for your support

@vanessa8 WOOT WOOT 4 month is outstanding! 
Hope you are able to practice some self care during this high stress time 
@MrMoustache Nicely done with your 1 month with all that you have come through try to keep that in mind when the urges hit as its easy to forget the original struggle. Keep stacking up the days my friend – you are crushing it! 
Sending you strength and energy as you attack your coffee addiction
@mrsodh Grateful that he is out of the woods with any big stroke risks. I do hope that whatever is not looking right on the x-rays is nothing to worry about and can be easily tended to Continuing to send healing energy your way.

Hey everyone. Update on life: I’m doing great! Super grateful for my peer support staff. They brought us to a food pantry and I picked out so many veggies and food! Yay! I’m seeing my chiropractor and I’m FINALLY getting help for my pain. Been visiting my sister and friends all week can’t wait to see more of them. I’m just excited bc last week I was battling severe urges to sh and this week has been so much better. Staying safe and sober!

Thank you so much, my friend! The battle against coffee is real, I just drank my last cup of coffee and I don’t have anymore coffee left at home. I’m not taking my coffee addiction too seriously, just trying to quit it because it messes my head. I think I’m over sensitive to caffeine. But let’s see.

I had to give up coffee and it wasn’t easy. Just remember anything that we give up is harder at the beginning…it gets easier as our bodies adjust.
I did drink a dandelion chicory root alternative that was actually better than I had expected. Maybe give that a try?
Best of luck my friend

I gave up coffee a few weeks ago because I couldn’t sleep properly.
I drink chai and green tea Instead, works like a charm.
First week was a little tricky but totally worth it.
I do plan to drink decaf for my fall pumpkin spiced latte later this year, because I refuse to go without that one.

Checking in sober. I was horribly sick for 2 weeks with Covid or the flu. I’m still exhausted. And now overwhelmed and depressed. It feels like everything in life is awful and a struggle. I know that’s the depression talking and there are positives. I just hate everything right now. Want to go to bed early but last night I had horrible nightmares and I’m worried tonight will be more of the same.
At least the meme thread made my smile a bit.

Went to see my chiropractor. He realigned my entire back, top and bottom as I had spams all throughout. When he did the top of my back I nearly stopped breathing. He said I was long overdue for an adjustment. Ive been icing and drinking lots of water. I was in a lot of pain but now its only painful when sitting up from sitting and laying position. I hope these appointments help in the long run. I’m going back next week.
