Thank you, that’s really sweet of you

The reason I want to stay sober is I have so much to lose. In sobriety I earned the trust back from the people I love, got a promotion, lost weight, was productive again. No hangovers and anxiety attacks… My life changed completely. It would be so stupid to give that all up. I want to be sober and I’m gonna protect it more than ever.

It’s good to hear your story :heart: Here’s to no more day 339 (well, for you ;), I’ll get there again :100: )

So sorry to hear you’re having a hard time, Millie… Relapses suck, but they can be an opportunity to tweak your toolset. What triggered this and what can you do differently next time? It’s a slow and tough process, but so worth it :heart:
Ik wens je alle sterkte!

You and I are on the relapse journey together.
My relapse was after 5 years (1 day of idiocy). So all that time is not lost.
I am tracking my time as before and after relapse =
1896 days (before relapse) → 1 days (after relapse)

Working on day 2 :smile:

Stay strong
:muscle:

Checking in 2963 days. A little over a month to 3000! I am charging my car. It’s cool but sunny here in San Diego. No reindeer @Finn. I’m a little disappointed about that, lol! I finished a work project yesterday so today I will go back to research, getting to know a code we might have to implement and making a spreadsheet of how to use it. Then this evening I will help the youth group make lasagna for a fundraiser tomorrow night. They are raising funds for building supplies to go to Mexico to build a house for a family. They do it every year and last year I went along. Super worthwhile. Hope everyone has an awesome day/evening and a sober 24 hours.

Finally back from outside karts at the store

Inside for the next 4hours then I get to go home

I’m on karts 3 more days after today

Work moral was low for me all morning

I have to stay aware of sneaky thoughts to smoke cigs or any addiction. Creeps up in the moment but hasn’t got me.
Sometimes I’m thinking fk it just 1 but I’m aware of my abstinence to substances goal and my family also is kept in mind

Love you back! Sober days are amazing and so glad you are keeping up your gym routine

@Tragicfarinelli . Cherish your sober time and protect it instead like a part of your soul rather than a tally you need to reach out tick off.

I think this is good stuff. Keep thinking having to go back to day 1 should be a great motivator to remain sober.

Checking in for me at 332 days. 3 days from 11 months. I never ever want to see a day 1 again.

Ever ever again, it’s easier to fight the cravings and pain than give in to destruction. Keep fighting :+1:t2:

Fighting for a better life is why I stay sober

Nothing bad has ever happened only because I don’t drink or smoke. Sobriety isn’t blamed by me for any reason

Welcome back friend

Thank you, my friend! Yes, one day at a time or to be precise, one moment at a moment because right now I have a terrible hangover and I’m just trying to breath and not to freak out. Breath in, breath out. Oh yes.
