5 months sober!!
It’s been a weird day here where everything that could go wrong went wrong all at once knocking my whole day out of wack. But I made the best of it and my mood has kept up. My best friend came for dinner to celebrate 5 months sober with me! We had a nice time and I’m feeling proud of myself.
And we had our first snow of the season today! Winter has officially begun!

Day 934
Another gorgeous day out today. Nice and cool :fallen_leaf::maple_leaf:
Got my workout done for the day and now just heading home to get ready to go out again to the mall to pick up my dads bday gift. Then home to sweep, mop, and vacuum floors. Thats about it. Would like to get a meditation in today also along with some prayer. Have a fabulous addiction free day everyone :butterfly:

Day 190 check in. Starting a bit slow this morning. I am up, sober and gorgeous weather. Season changes are so “in your face here “. Hummingbirds even act different. I am off to AA Meeting.

Must share that I got a huge positive vibe from hubby with all I did yesterday! So nice to know my effort did not go unnoticed!

Sometimes during the day I have to stop and think who am I? I am no longer that drunken person I despised.

hi yall!

noon today makes day 5, and i’ve been feeling good, especially with my relationship with my Higher Power. i’ve been talking (and talking, and talking, and…) with my Higher Power extensively these last couple days and i feel like it’s been very good bonding time with Him :] might sound silly, but i do need to work on our bond, i still have a lot of fear and doubt.

i won’t lie tho, i’m hurting this morning. i miss people and i wanna help my loved ones, but there’s not much i can do. trying to take it to my Higher Power, but it hurts that i can’t do much rn.

thank you for bein here, my friends, i hope you’re well <3

Hey welcome! I appreciate this honesty here as one non-girly girl to another.

I’m Emilie. 2+ years sober from alcohol, 1 1/2 years no cigarettes and still stumbling around in an attempt to kick THC. Read around, plenty of support here and we’ll be happy to have you.

Happy anniversary!!! I totally relate to what you said, I’m so very lucky in my partnership and my husband has also stuck by me at the worst of times. We are very fortunate people to have such supportive and loving individuals loving us unconditionally. I wish you many more years of happiness. I believe you have given her a beautiful gift already by valuing your health and getting sober. :heartpulse:

I’m so sorry your daughter is going through this, I know migraines so well. It’s such a struggle. I hope you can find something to help mitigate them because it really is debilitating and the fact that people don’t take them seriously is baffling to me. Another hidden disability if you ask me. Sending her hugs and strength.

Sorry that happened to you but it sounds like you’ve got the best attitude possible under the circumstances, friend. Good for you. Onward and upward, ay? I’d be your reference :joy:

@Misokatsu that does suck to have to fail someone, but it sounds like you did your job and handled it well, sorry it’s tough though :people_hugging:
@Tragicfarinelli no evaluations before each session, but I did one before I started, and I think we do one at the mid point after a year, and one at the end. I waited 4 years for this therapy and it’s long-term for 2 years, but we started in February and I can’t see it going anywhere, she just keeps repeating how much more settled I seem since I haven’t seen my dad or step-family since the 5th of July. The therapy is supposed to be specifically about my experience of childhood sexual abuse, as that’s what they specialise in as a charity. I am planning to rejoin the gym the next time I go, that should hopefully help my mental and physical health. I’m proud of you for the work you’re doing on yourself :people_hugging:🩵
@Mindofsobermike that’s very sad indeed, how it made you feel is a valid human response to a tragic situation, sending love :people_hugging:🩵
@Bomdhil congrats on double digits :tada:
@Chevy55 love this! Happy 25th Anniversary :confetti_ball::revolving_hearts:
@Kris congrats on triple digits :100: :tada:
@Borderline_Billy welcome to the checking-in thread :blush: congrats on 4 days :tada: keep trying with the cigarettes quit.
@DanaM56 congrats on all the 4s :tada: I hope your back recovers asap :people_hugging: I do hope you had fun with the Go-Karting though :grinning: :motorway:
@JazzyS she does it right after she speaks, as though to suggest what she’s saying is right or something. I don’t feel comfortable enough wifh her to raise any issues atm but I might have to soon :grimacing: I’ve contacted my bank and they don’t seem to want to help, I am going to contact them again tonight or in the morning and send my screenshots again with the prices highlighted.
@Just_Laura ugh, what a nightmare! Glad you managed to save quite a lot of stuff, I hope the neighbour does adopt the cat :crying_cat_face::crossed_fingers:t2:
