Checking in on day
429 no alcohol
360 no vapes or ciggs 69no form of nicotine
29 no form of marijuana

I went down 300mg of gabapentin, a perscribed med from a phyc dr, for 12 days.
Sfter having no energy i went back up to my regular dose after talking with the dr. Im happy to be back to my normal dose. I can try again to lower it in the future

I had a strong craving for pot today. I have the house to myself and i ligit convinced myself no1 would care in about the 2seconds i craved. When i came back to reality i knew my wife would be so upset and i cant just not tell her. It would kill me inside and i wouldn’t have to tell her, everyone can see when im stonned in my eyes. Also its my first day back on my normal med dose and i dont need to add to the dose a thc high

Im almost 1 year cigg and vape free. Wow huge milestone

Im on vacation for today and 2 more days off of work!!! Thsts awesome. Paid time off is nice

I feel bad i let my wife down today. I was exhausted and didnt get out of bed till about 10:45 and yes she needed help with changing and feeding the baby so she kinda got mad and went to the store without me and then when i got up, ice coffee right next to me waiting for me. So i got up and started organising the bedroom snd living room. I hope shes ok

I worked some on the trauma workbook this morning and found it difficult. It brings up so many things and I get some anxiety after but I have found the information really helpful…interesting even. I just hope it all helps. I feel like I’m making progress just by being proactive.

That AA book seems interesting, thanks for the tip!

Thank you also for the tip to live fully in the present. Right now (day 4) it’s really painful and hard to confront the reality and myself.

Glad you were able to get back in your dosage. Great work on not giving into the cravings for pot. You made sound reasonings and are absolutely better off without it.
Sending you energized vibes. Hope you can start feeling like yourself again :people_hugging:

100% better off without it

During my craving i thought no1 would care if i picked up. Its strange i thought that because ligit it would piss a lot of people off and would have made.my relationships during this day a disaster. Strange how addicted mind works

Wow am i ever behind on this thread! Good to see people posting!
I had a very slow start to my day. Didnt really get going until about 10am. Got the dishes n vacumming done. Now about to have lunch with my son and then off to run some errands. Im feeling pretty good today but my mind is trying to beat myself up for not going to the gym practically all this week. Im feeling down about it but doing my best to not let myself sink into that down state. It is what it is. I knew waking up at 5am would be hard for me, so instead im trying to focus on my nutrition (which is crucial for losing weight and getting healthier anyway). If i get to the gym, thats a bonus! Anyway, enjoy ur day everyone! :butterfly:
