1490 days no alcohol.
955 days no cocaine.
470 days no vape.
0 days no binge-eating.
My addict got in my head last night when I couldnāt sleepā¦āitās Sunday night, you can start fresh tomorrow, its a new weekāā¦āyouāve only got the final left to watch of the show youāre watchingā. 
Feeling quite defeated, but Iām not done trying. I will get there. Today so far is okay, I had the healthy lunch I get after therapy.
Therapy was boring, it really doesnāt feel like therapy at the moment. We are just talking about surface level stuff, I donāt know how to talk about the deeper stuff with her. Atleast I can with the Friday therapist.
I donāt know why but the whole of the city centre smelled like cocaine, it triggered some areas of my brain but not in the sense that I got an urge to use it, quite the opposite!
I hope you all had wonderful sober weekends.

Day 2 of No Alcohol and Nicotine. Day was going so well up until it got stressful and I have always ran to my vices as a way of coping but this time around, I need to find healthier ways of dealing with that. Still going strong though.

158 days sober
Been a busy day here. Started with my morning hike and then preparing for my guests to come. I was a bit anxious about their travel because of the snow and bad road but they arrived well in the end. We had a good dinner together and they are relaxing now. Iām used to hosting people but never had a married couple or guy be in the house before so I felt a bit anxious about that but after dinner with them I felt okay about it. I really like them both and his wife is really sweet so I feel a bit silly now. I think itās good for me having some guests for a few days and am excited for the clinic they will do tomorrow.
Am tired now so will just relax for the evening and hopefully sleep well.

Day 60 - hello
My 16-month old is teething and was up every couple of hours last night. Glad Iām not trying to recover from a weekend hangover.
Iām spending the day getting ready for a very high level work presentation tomorrow where I will be put on the spot and peppered with questions.
Iāll be taking my daughter to swim lessons after daycare, and then solo parenting tonight with my wife working overnight shift.
Life is a grind, and I just keep pushing on and getting through each day.
Peace and well being to you. Thank you for being here for yourself and the rest of us.

Checking in again as Iām catching myself veer a little off track mentally. The past couple of hours Iāve just been aimlessly browsing my phone in a zombie state for the first time in a while and I can feel depression and cravings return like theyāre just around the corner if I continue. I know that sleep and excessive screen-time can definitely be triggers for me, so no more aimless browsing. Iāll make some mindful notes to restore clarity and then time to try to put my racing mind to sleep with some guided audio or something.
*Update: feeling better after making some notes which have merely reminded me: I know that I definitely want to stay on track. And I will. My life depends on my courageā¦ Good night folks

Congratulations on your 2 days of freedom! Yeah, Mbani - the sensitivity to stress might linger a while. So good to have a plan for it. Weāre just not accustomed to experiencing any stress, positive or negative without numbing it. Iāve had the best luck with exercise, warm baths and meditation. Green tea 
too. I quit nicotine in January, and alcohol on March 1st. Impressive that youāre quitting both at once.
Glad youāre with us and sober today.

Evening check-in! 
After hanging out with my friend in the morning, in the afternoon I went to the pool.
Theyāll close due to the end of season next weekend, and Iām already starting to feel the dark cloud that usually comes over me when autumn arrives. Shorter days, bad weather etcā¦ I hope I can somehow see the positive side of things!
