First day back at work was good. Going to do another one today. Sober and clean. My cold is almost gone. The grey weather’s still there. Truly the dark days before Christmas. Let’s keep going to make today as good a day as we can friends. Clean and sober or nothing will come from it. Pic is a memory of sunny warm times. Will have to do with memories for now. Love.

@happyfeet Huge congrats Anne! Thanks for sharing your milestone!
@Bluekoolaid I’m grateful I got to spend some time with you and your journey Trevor. It’s been inspiring. You’ve come such a long way friend. Take care riding you bike down there. As to deleting your account, an alternative might be to anonymize it, so your posts are still visible (much valuable input you have here) but not under your name. Ask the mods when you want that. Wishing you all success in your life friend, it’s an honour and a pleasure to know you.

Hey beautiful people

Checking in Day 24

Work is going well. I’m grateful for a job that supports my mental health and sobriety. Went to a great AA meeting with a speaker who was so kind and candid. Ate well today and am learning to listen and take care of my body. Gonna end my night with a lil yoga and curl into my warm comfy bed. Lots to be grateful for today

Wishing everyone strength today!! It aint easy but it’s worth it

[JP123]

Totally get this perspective and proud of you for acknowledging and taking steps for your mental health. I think we can all relate to the influx of information at our fingertips and it not always being for the best. A lil break def can’t hurt. Know this app will always be here should you need or want some connection or support! Wishing you best of luck in your sober journey

Checking in on Tuesday evening. Hope everyone is having a good week so far

@happyfeet Congrats on 500 days! It’s great to see you’re doing so well! Always a pleasure to see you drop by

@Bluekoolaid You will be missed Trevor but you gotta do what you think is best for you I understand the screen thing. I’ve cut back dramatically (almost entirely from youtube and memes). I’ve never had social media either, but just between here and daily use, it still feels like too much. We’ll always be here when you need us. Keep fighting the good fight

Well I finally got the damn tree up Alot more work than anticipated. I had to move the junk pile blocking the closet first. A dresser, table, chair, lamp, 2 shoe racks, and a bunch of paintings and miscellaneous(some of which is right where I left it…in the way). Then I discovered my jerk of a cat’s secret piss zone in the back of the closet. Right next to the xmas tree box He’s lucky he’s so fucking adorable. Putting the tree up was easy(it’s fitting it back in it’s box that’s a nightmare). Still works perfectly and looks great!

Recently, I noticed the barometric pressure reading in my weather app(not sure why I hadn’t before ). After two weeks of keeping track, I realized my body hates low atmospheric pressure(like right now ). Upon researching this, I was surprised to learn the affects it actually does have on the body. Headaches, joint pain, fatigue, breathing issues, increased tension/anxiety, ear congestion, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, and more. This would explain my many, come and go symptoms, especially when there’s multiple at once that vanish the next day. And also why so many of us feel like crap on the same days I guess I really did feel the storm coming in my bones the other day Learned something new. Idk. I’m gonna keep tracking it for a while bc statistics don’t lie. Have a great day everyone!

Checking in on day 11. It’s nearly day 12 but I didn’t want to miss a check in

Ended up going to the pub after an important day in the office yesterday. Luckily because I have a cold I could order an AF drink and leave after one. I didn’t miss having alcohol one bit.

Almost the shortest day of the year which I am looking forward to being behind us as it is very dark at this time of the year in Northern Europe

[MrMoustache]

Checking in, 23 days AF, 1 weed free. My brain chemistry is all over the place because of my latest weed bingeing relapse. I feel like shit, full of anxiety and fear. I have terrible withdrawals and cravings. I don’t usually smoke cigs, but I bought a pack to take the edge off. One minute at a time.

Physically exhausted and shaky, but mentally ok, and that‘s the important part. Lots of chilling, relaxing, Yoga Nidra, tv, books, and music for today.

Today‘s picture is a very special angel in Arnhem, NL this year‘s easter.

Peace and love for life always

349. Checking in.

Colonoscopy was fine, nice and straightforward. We even pressed my belly lightly to see it move on the camera, and it was weird to think where the camera was! I had seven people in the room and Meat loaf playing. A bit like a party of nerds, including me… Although I would not have chosen the music. All seems good. Nothing weird hopefully, so back to square one with my tummy issues. But that’s the next steps now along with my ongoing food diary and monitoring.

A bit sore and dizzy today so despite my desire to gym the hell out of myself, I’m resting up. That’s ok.

Happy 24

Day #374
Before one year on this date I was in rehab. The feeling is little bit strange, how fast this year pass. Today instead being in a group therapy now im at work sober and focus on the things.
Im proud and happy of myself
Have a wonderful day and stay strong and sober

[happyfeet]

Thank you all for you lovely replies. It means a lot to me.

I’m glad you’re gonna have a happy feet again today @SoberWalker. Hope it is ready now to carry you all the ways along your sober journey without pain.

I understand your perspective @Bluekoolaid but for sure you’ll be missed here. Hope to see you around again some day.
I wish you all the best on your sober journey Trevor.

[Frank68]

Happy hump day!

Make it an awesome day my friends!

[Rockstar24777]

Day 1,644 clean and sober today. Have a wonderful day, love you guys!

[Rockstar24777]

That’s a trip about the barometric pressure, I never thought about that and how it affects us wow, thank you for bringing that up! I am going to start tracking myself and see if that might be the reason I feel like shit sometimes. Very interesting, thanks again Laura!

251 days sober
I had 2 days of feeling in a funk and now I’m back to normal. Yesterday was some crazy weather and an all day power outage so I stayed home with a friend playing games, chatting and then going to bed early. I think I was needing a day to relax and recharge. Since the power was out I couldn’t do any work so it was a forced rest which allowed me to rest without any feeling of guilt. I was needing it.
Felt refreshed and more myself today. And was happy to get some good work done. I get frustrated with my down moods mostly because I don’t always understand why I get to feeling that way. If I can know what caused it then I feel less frustration and get over it more quickly. I need to learn how to deal with my frustrations better.

[Philipwithonel]

Glad it all worked out. You were awake during yours?

[Tragicfarinelli]

Absolutely awake. They gave me painkiller and conscious sedation thru an IV. But I didn’t feel at all drowsy or sedated. I literally chatted for the entire thirty to forty minutes and answered questions and stuff.
