Checking in.
Went for a long run yesterday as I had the day off work. It was brilliant. Went up the mountain. Recovery run this morning. Slowly trying to get myself back to getting up at 5 am, the clock change always messes my routine up.

Thank you for your kind words. I am much better today. I turned my phone off after I checked in and just wrote and wrote more. (Music and journal) That seemed to help. I also was given ashwaganda gummies and those seem to help a bit as well. Learning to live sober is definitely the key though. I’ve been so self hating and antisocial most of my adult life but getting there :joy:

Thank you my dear. Knowing that I have you guys honestly kept me pushing. A lot of convincing myself that if I screwed up I would not only let myself down but everyone here as well. I know that’s not really the full case but had to get myself convinced somehow lol Hopefully that makes sense.

51 days sober AF :rofl: :sparkles:🩷

Exactly this. I know a lot of us would likely agree. Including myself (quite often) I still remember your first day and I’m so happy you’re sticking with us :sparkles:🩷

Day 395

Gloomy morning. Perfect for resting. I’ll need at least another day to recover from all the dental trauma. Yikes! I’m drinking my coffee-flavoured milk as we speak . I’ll be around today with my mashed potatoes and gravy. Hey that sounds kinda good :thinking: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Much love to all,

Checking in. 21 AF, 5 weed free. 3 weeks without alcohol, yay!

Whew, now my move is done. It went really smoothly and I already unpacked everything, so now I can just chill. I just came from a walk to get to know my new neighbourhood and shiiiit, I’m so happy that now I can go for a nature walk or a run almost straight from my front door. I’m also happy that I’m now living in a supported housing where here is staff available on office hours, so if my mental health starts to crash down, I can talk to them without first going to the psychiatric ward. I’m glad I’m sober because if I had been drunk or high, this move would have been a total catastrophy. I just drank coffee and now I’m listening Allen Grey’s wonderful classical and cinematic music and soon I’ll start reading the Bible and Timothy Keller’s book about Christian praying. I hope you all have a great 24!
