Thanks for sharing. I have two young kids too and I worry about bad memories they may have.
Thanks man. Unfortunately its not always full power
Iām on day 5! Heading to my first life ring meeting tonight.
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 Iām getting lots of help from Talking Sober, Celebrate Recovery, Covenant Eyes, and phone buddies. The cravings have been minimal these past 24 hours. Iāve 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 donāt 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.
Me too. Mine are 6 and 10. I worry a lot about trauma, genetics, imitationā¦
Well done, it would be rude not to say hi after about 18 like, I think you skipped the relapses, it wasnāt all plain sailing but itās been an experience and still is. I suggest to anyone do yourself a journal itās good to look back now and again. Your doing brilliant keep up the good work.
I saw the relapses cos I saw when the thread was started and the posts I have seen recently so read and read until I saw the relapse,Iām not sure if I should ālikeā relapsesā¦ā¦!?! So I like to encourage the early days back from a relapse sort of thing!.itās really encouraged me your journey.thanks
Great going mate, I just read back a bit of my journal and you were so kind to me all them days ago and you were 100 % right, I have come far. Thanks for the belief , I have the same in you.
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 3 and feeling better than i was yesterday. Iām planning on going to a meeting next week as I have continually failed to do this alone time and time again. Thanks to everyones comments on here, it helps just knowing you all understand and care.
Thank you! @SassyRocks, @C_8, @Fargesia_murielae, @anon12657779 , @Dolse71, @Conor689908, @CapriciousCapricorn
Youāve all been so encouraging!
Day 14 done. In bed sober. Faced and dealt with Friday and Saturday night.
Keep on rockinā, yāall!
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, thatās some great sober days you got. Good night and a fresh morning.
I donāt 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.
Day 63. Another sober weekend!
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.
