@Refreshedperspective glad you are seeing alcohol for the problem that it is. Grateful you are here working in day 1. Being here and around all these amazing people helps me know I’m not crazy or alone. I now know that my behavior wasn’t unique but a pattern of addictive living. Just because I was functioning didn’t mean I was living. Build that tool box and supportive community for yourself. ODAAT 
@NewPerspective welcome back to the community David. Wonder amount of sober time . Very inspirational
I totally believe this. I know I wouldn’t be this far into my sobriety without this community. Great work on your 5 weeks of being sober 
Some great ideas here as well as in What’s YOUR plan? Thread. Maybe wise to listen all the things you have tried and honestly write why it didn’t work. Changing up my routine completely, getting rid of all DOC items so I didn’t feel tempted. Finding ways to stay busy and being ok with knowing it will take time for my body and mind to regain energy. @EFountains wow! Love this! Great work on your quad digits . Keep the momentum going strong
@Noshame sorry about the tummy aches. Glad you are listening to your body. Hope the tummy feels better and cravings go away soon 
@SoberOskar great to see you friend. Was just thinking of you the other day. 126 days is amazing sorry you had to walk away from a business. Well done in nor letting your vision get overtaken. You are doing wonderful things with building a whole new business. This is not easy work so be proud of yourself. Keep putting your best foot forward. Sobriety allows us to be our best selves.
@MTSober welcome to the community and it’s wonderful to see all those amazing days strung together
Checking in on Monday morning
894 days free of alcohol and weed
1309 days free of cigarettes
Glad the festival is over and I was able to help out. It was a long and tiring day. Grateful we picked up pizza for dinner.
Not so hot today as yesterday did do me in. I had to use the TENS unit majority of the day so that I could function. Too much electric stimulation may not be good either. I knew I would need a day or so of recovery but was not prepared for this.
I’m trying to make the best out of it and breathe through the pain. Intensity of the pain and all my symptoms flaring up 
are making it hard to focus. Grateful I am not listening to the voices to turn to drink or weed to take the edge off. Reading here has helped me reinforce how powerful those lies are
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day… sending you all so much love
