Congratulations on your two weeks. Sounds like you are sticking to a PLAN. Good to have a partner who acknowledges your sober path and is taking part. Keep focusing on you and sobriety and being honest with yourself and those who support you. I am glad you are here.
Oh my god⦠im so sorry My deepest condolences to you Trey. Please stay close to the forum. We all care about ur wellbeing. And ur right, drinking wont solve anything or make anything better. Be gentle with urself friend hugs
Oh I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending you all of my love and comfort at this time. I wish I could do and say something and even be there for you⦠Please know you are in my prayers.
My heart is hurting right now for you.
Hi my friendsā¦
@bluekoolaid_88 you had a lovely check in. So glad you returned to share our journey together. I shared in my AA Meeting that almost the Big 400 will be here.
@KellyKelly 3 years is amazing - a Big Congratulations
@Danwood85 Welcome Back so glad you have returned to continue on your sober path with us
@reeseycup 80 days Wow⦠You are doing fabulous and so happy to share your progress here
@CR84 So sorry about the depression. I really wish I had the solution for depression as so many suffer here including me. I can say personally mine was extremely life threatening. I hope you seek medical advice if you have not already. I did medication but quit few years back. My cure was sobriety and learning to love me and my new sober life. Music, sunshine and just knowing I am alive today and every morning I get another day to LIVE keeps me positive most of the time.
@Mno A working kitchen⦠happy for you. I would be very miserable with out mine.
@JazzyS Do we get a picture of the new Hair Do? I am sure you are lovely
398 Days for me & @bluekoolaid_88 ⦠Shared much at my AA Meeting this morning⦠After my recent Hit And Run Accident I was feeling pretty lousy thinking how horrible mankind is to drive away without checking to see if I was ok after hitting a tree. My faith is renewed with all you super lovely people and my AA Group⦠There are good people out there and when you find them hold on to themā¦
Checking in day 455 AF
Looks delicious!
Thank you to everybody for your kind words. Iām completely at a loss right now. Iām not going to drink, but I have no idea what I will do.
Day 8 AF,
Busy day at the office, and glad to have made it through the good and bad moments today without thinking once of the old me. ODAAT
Thanks Marie, its good to be back and speaking to you all again. I hope youāre well. Thanks
Checking in on day 515, alcohol free!
I had the dreaded relapse nightmare last night luckily it was such an odd situation (in the dream, I was at a casino, and Iām not one for gambling) that when I woke up I instantly knew it wasnāt for real, but still, what a weird dream. Iām currently on a regimen to up my anti-nightmare medication and I see that we still might have a couple milligrams to go. xD
Breathe and stay here with us my friend.
I will. I fed the dogs. Iām going to bed at 5 pm. I might eat something later.
I really am praying for you. So glad your sobriety is not wavering. Do eat and get some rest. You are TOP priority right now.
If I was closer Trey I would pop over a plate of dinner for you. Please just even grab something small like some toast. I know you probably donāt feel like it but you got to still take care of yourself right now. There is a lot to deal with in these upcoming days and you will need to be the best you can be given the circumstances. Iām proud of you for staying sober today.
@cr84 Way to go with your 50 days! I am so very sorry about your depression. I do know how frustrating it is when you are feeling down and need to talk to someone and NO ONE is available. I have had that moment many times in the past and it flipping sucks ā it really adds fuel to that depression fire. Back then I would just drink more and go into a mad spiral. You now have this place and all of us. Reach out if you need. I know our friends and loved ones do love us and it just happens that they are not around at the specific moment. You are loved my friend. You keep kicking ass
@sadmemequeen So happy to hear that. Glad you are getting in an early session with your therapist too
@alexmit Way to go with your 2 weeks!
Great work
@mno OOH now that looks beautiful. So happy for you friend. Love that you are already breaking it in with a home made meal! Enjoy working in your new working kitchen
Brain fog is for sure a symptom of sobriety as we regulate our minds and bodies Keep stacking up the days ā it does get easier!
@tailee17 400 days right around the corner Grateful your faith in humanity was renewed
So important to remember the good people are around and what we need to focus on. Again I am so very grateful that you are ok. Iām sure it was a scary moment. I will post pic hopefully soon⦠today I am just trying to recover from my acupuncture treatment.
@ts66 A lot of mental and emotional processing going on iām sure right now. Sending you hugs my friend. You are not alone We are here if you need to chat
Do eat something. Settle your stomach and get some rest.
Trey, Iām so sorry to hear the news about your wife, that is so sudden and such a shock I will be thinking of you. Keep checking in here with us all
Checking In! Iāve been a bit lazy with my check ins lately but Iām sticking to my foundations as usual. I have been in the process of quitting vaping and I am making really great progress. I am using the gum 90% of the day and then I give myself one āsittingā with my vape, but Iām continuing to space this time out.
I am having this fear that Iām loosing something, which I know Iām not really, but when I quit drinking I knew āwell at least I can smoke/vapeā which gave me āsomethingā if that makes sense.
Anyways being mindful because I donāt want to cut this out and then fall back into something else like drinking or some other unhealthy substance.
Thanks for listening as always! ODAAT
So proud of you all for facing those scary moments life throws at us!
Tragic. Sorry for your loss.
One week down, for the like 10th time. Feeling decent, been keeping busy. Definitely stressed though. Living other difficulties so I am trying really really hard to not default to bad habits to ārelaxā.
Not gonna lie trashy reality TV has been a saviour to me haha
Iām so sorry for your loss. Everyone experiences grief differently so just take one day at a time and go easy on yourself.
