Checking in on day 40.
I had the opportunity to go on a 11km hike today. Loved it! I realised once again how much nature heals me… so gratefull to live in a beautifully green province.
Hiking in nature also keeps my mind straight about my sobriety. It keeps me grounded. It recharges me!
One day at a time.
Super fast check in as I totally got side tracked this morning. Day 36… Officially got 5 weeks down and I am on a mission to keep that stacking. Light and love all. Catch up later lol
Friday mid-day check in. I’ve been hustling all week, with a packed schedule …Taking care of myself and my family very well! Grateful to be 53 days into my current streak, and being better at advancing my life than I was for many of my previous years.
I hope you enjoy the upcoming weekend, and feel some peace and love. 
Been a little while since I been on. I often check my timer to keep me motivated and log out but I hope everyone is going strong and staying strong. I’m currently still sober. 1 year and 4 months in god bless everyone!
Heyyyyy
When I quit weed I had some crazy dreams for a bit
One dream I was in a sweatshop putting it in small bags and when everyone started smoking I asked if I could have some and everyone said no
Lol weird dream
Now I just have dreams about work lol
But all in all
If I could go back
I would have quit it all much sooner
I live in weed legal Massachusetts USA. I can get pretty much anything weed at the shops but I don’t even feel tempted
Day 1321
Afternoon check in 
Morning/afternoon/evening everyone (wherever ur at in the world lol). Hope everyone is doing well. Its Friday and so Im getting ready for work this weekend. Went to the gym also and now Im having lunch and waiting for my son to come home from school. Things are good today! Just going to do some tidying up in a bit and some laundry later. Thats about it.
Have a good day friends!
Yeah, they legalized weed in my home state of Minnesota almost 2 yrs ago I think.
Yeah, thankfully mine was bizarre enough that I have nothing to read into. I’d share but it is just a bit too risqué for polite conversation lol.
At least I remembered what I dreamt about…I’m taking that as a win!
Day 20
I have to face reality: I’m an addict. Tonight I had a sudden craving 
that was very difficult to satisfy because it took me by surprise. I wanted to relax, but I had to keep myself busy. Well, I resisted, I didn’t drink any alcohol 
, but I ate two plates of spaghetti Bolognese and I’m sitting here with a ridiculous stockpile of ginger beer. It would be scientifically impossible to drink three liters of it.
That’s how my evening of reading begins 
Have a good sober evening, everyone.
Well I wish you pleasant dreams tonight my friend. 
Completely agree with you. Trust and respect are essential when dealing with intimate, deeply tragic matters. 
Don’t be. It’s rare enough that I want to point it out, but what you’ve written is so honest that it commands respect. Well done for having the courage to write about what you’re going through so simply and naturally.
It really speaks to me.
I should write about my need to be loved, but I’m thinking about it first, so I can express it well, so you’ll appreciate it. You’ve taught me a lesson. Thank you 
. And keep up the lucidity. That’s what your life is all about. And it’s very powerful and useful to exist in that way.
Welcome back!
It’s like you’re saying exactly how I feel :folded_handst2:
how did you manage to let go of that fear and anxiety ?
Checking in on day 794. It’s the weekend 
I’m hoping to head to the beach tomorrow for some much needed outdoor time. Might even treat myself and ice-cream 
sending love and strength to all 
Happy birthday @Just_Laura 
it sounds like you had a great day
Day 6 check in! Quite a lot of anxiety for me today. All over stuff I knew would either likely never happen, or had already happened anyway and weren’t actually a big deal. I’d have shut these feelings off with alcohol as recently as a week ago but tonight I tried distracting myself and when I couldn’t, just sat with it until it passed.
Now I’m relaxed and looking forward to getting up early to do some hiking. Have a good, and sober, rest of your friday everyone!
Day 81 sober
Just did gym and work, once my girlfriend is back from work we shall go bowling and whatnot 
Had to keep making all these changes in my code merge request for work haha. Dude who is leading this migration for Bell Canada’s storage systems is like very very particular about how he wants things to be done. I kinda learned not to bother arguing with him since he is very rigid on things, but I got that done so yeah
593
AFL Grand Final day here. My team lost last week so interest has lessened to be honest.
Snoop Dogg is a very interesting choice as pre game entertainment
Evening check in.
Slow day at work was kinda welcome. It feels like I have super busy the last couple of months. Got to the gym and the sauna afterwards followed by an appointment with my therapist that was so helpful. She does incredible stuff with IFS and EMDR and I feel like it’s made a big difference in my recovery and my relationship with myself.
Hope everyone has a lovely sober weekend!
@just_laura LOL – glad I didn’t disappoint. Sounds like you had a wonderful day! LOVE LOVE LOVE them nails. Sweet and thoughtful gift from your daughter too 
The ring goes with the nails or was that by design?
@lucalds Way to go friend – 1 month tomorrow! Way to fight the craving and deal with your emotions without any filters. Smart to keep yourself away from temptations. This place really did get me through some very tough times. You are among friends and great support so lean on us when you need 
@mno You really packed in a lot in one day. No wonder the day was intense. Hope you gave yourself some grace and love today. 
Way to go friend. So very proud of you. I would totally start a time for the weed too and put the last day that you can remember or feel comfortable using. 1.5 months is impressive. We all know that our minds go to a new addiction once we cut it off from our DOC so the fact that you are sober sober is awesome and should be celebrated!
@newas Welcome back and glad you are here with us working in day 1. Stay connected to your support, make healthy changes in your daily life and habits… it works if you work it. We are right here with you ODAAT
@jms19 Congrats on getting through the payday! How did therapy go? Were you able to find happy moments / thoughts to help lift your spirits? I turn to comedy… usually stand up or a show that I know will have me laughing hard like Ted Lasso. Hope you found your happy today
You do whatever you need to do to release those emotions in a healthy way. I screamed and cried and punched the air. It all was very helpful. I can sense that the trauma runs deep and for that I am sorry. It will take time and work to heal. This will not be an easy road but it will be one that is so worth it. You are not alone. You have good support in real life and here. Keep working on your journey friend – it will get easier
@finn Great to see you posting Finn! Excellent work on 5 days – keep em coming 
@jonachav123 WHOOHOO 40 days is awesome! Glad that you were able to enjoy some hiking time in nature – it really is very recharging and calming.
@cr84 5 weeks and kicking some addiction ass! Way to go Cass 
@danny100 Great to see you posting and with such an impressive time.. Congrats on your 6 months of sobriety. Keep that momentum going strong
It is hard to admit that we are addicts. We have tried to moderate and social drink but that has failed us time and time again. I am actually finding this to be a blessing as why would I want to add poison to my body in the name of relaxing or having a good time? Way to go in resisting those urges. Figure out what caused the cravings if possible so you can get ahead of it for the future. 3 weeks tomorrow – you are doing awesome
Checking in on Friday night
1010 days free of alcohol and weed
1425 days free of cigarettes
It was a super crazy busy day. Started early and was non stop till about an hour ago. I did take a small break for myself to get to the pool which was nice but the water pressure caused my headache to become a migraine. Also been super stuffed up since and nose won’t stop running. Think I just need a good nights rest and all will be well tomorrow.
Watched a really crappy Jackie Chan movie about love or some crap – totally a waste of time.
Will be a relatively busy day for me tomorrow so gonna try to wrap up soon and get some sleep.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love
