Celebrating day 75.

The closer I get to 90 days, the more confident I feel in my recovery. I have a lot of tools and Iā€™m getting lots of help from Talking Sober, Celebrate Recovery, Covenant Eyes, and phone buddies. The cravings have been minimal these past 24 hours. Iā€™ve kept good custody of my mind today. I lost custody of my eyes a couple of times yesterday. But if everyday was like this, I would definitely take it.

9:44pm.
Bed time. Becoming quite the norm.
I donā€™t even have work tomorrow.
This way, no matter what time I get up, I will have had a lie in because of the extra time in bed, just on a different timeline.
I am again slightly sleep deprived after last night and the storm though so should sleep well tonight.
Keep up the good work everyone.

Well done, it would be rude not to say hi after about 18 like, I think you skipped the relapses, it wasnā€™t all plain sailing but itā€™s been an experience and still is. I suggest to anyone do yourself a journal itā€™s good to look back now and again. Your doing brilliant keep up the good work.

We never stop trying. Never. And if you fall, we pick you up.

Hopefully our actions going forward will help them deal with this stuff.

Day 4 sober reinforcement of my boundaries. I stayed with my group almost all day. Nights when I am alone are the most difficult times

Nice one, thatā€™s some great sober days you got. Good night and a fresh morning.

I donā€™t know what your boundaries are but to me 4 days sober of anything is amazing. everytime I got to day 3 or 4 in the past I had a complete breakdown so well done.

Hang in there! Not sure what ur doc is, but it takes the body time to get used to not getting what it has been used to getting regularly.
