Day 117
Today I’m having dinner with friends. I know they drink and I am alert. I don’t have any cravings but I can feel the addict part of me is awake and whispering quietly. I think it’s because when it was just us we had fun drinking.
I’m rewiring my brain. I’m having fun with them sober and will remember even the late conversations.

Sounds like things are going super for you mate 
Checking in on Day 22. It’s supposed to be slightly warmer here today with a temp of -4 (YaY!!). I was awake over an hour before my alarm again and am now heading in for another 10 hour day today and am excited I’ll be having this weekend off. Nothing much else to say right now . Stay safe and sober everyone and have an awesome day

In all honesty I don’t remember exactly where it was. I just loved that bike, and we all love dutch cheese here.

Checking in. I just had a meeting with a doctor and we agreed together that I’ll go home on Monday. I still have three more nights to sleep under heavy meds, so that should do the trick for my poor sleep. I’m feeling confident of going home and I can’t wait to go for a run. My cholesterol levels we’re a little bit high, so that’s a real motivation for me start running again and eating more healthy. I’m now listening Slayer and just chilling.

Thank you so, so much for your reply. Shout out to @acromouse too<33 It feels great to be truly “seen” here. Sometimes it seems like IRL people don’t get the full scope of the situation, I really love that this community is full of people who get it. People who understand that life is hard anyway, much less if you’re trying to keep an addiction (or two, or three…) at bay. It means a lot to me to have this hard work recognized. Things might be tough but I am trying damnit! lol
Like always, sleep is evading me. I’m taking this time to draw and cook (first it was bacon, now I’m caramelizing onions. Gonna make some breakfast bagel sandwiches😋) until I can try calling the shelter at 8am.

Hello everybody!
Checking in on my 15th day sober.
It has been a busy morning doing small chores in the house nothing complicated but I just found out that my girlfriend has very toxic behaviors.
I think I new all the time but I was trying to bypass that and hoping that things would be ok but at the moment I know that we can not be together and I know it because my body is telling me with a strange feeling similar as what cats and dogs do when they met rare energies, like the pointy hair in the back, pfff, I think in humans that is called intuition. She gives me the creeps thats the word.
I feel good about that, thinking about me being on my on its a good feeling. She is a lovely girl to whom I feel lots of love but we are on different stages on life and we arent able to support one another.
For the moment thats it. Hoping to have a very nice weekend at work. Thanks God I am not having cravings. Everything will be ok. Odaat.
Love to everyone and a big hug for the ones who need it.

Congrats on your 15 sober days! That’s amazing! And I understand your intuition. Gut feeling is usually never wrong. I was married to my 2nd wife for six years when I started to feel something is wrong. So, in the end I got a divorce and that was the best solution, my intuition was right. I wish you all the best for making the hard decision whether to be with your gf or not. It ain’t easy, but sometimes leaving people behind is the best solution. After all, your well-being is the most important thing.

Thank you for your congratulations and for sharing. Its really helpful and gives me courage.
I will pay attention to my intuition to know whats best for me at this moment. And you are right, if I am good all things will be good as well too.
