day 116 alcohol day 76 weed and tobacco. Had a smoking dream last night, night before was yet another drink dream, they are getting more and more frequent but I suppose it saves me doing it in real life. I woke up feeling so blessed today, so grateful. Good meeting last night always helps as well, I am beginning to get a bit bored of the same man with the same 20 min story every week, but we are all there and we are all sober so who am I to judge. Have a peaceful day. be strong.

50 days pmo free, 50 days weed, 56 days booze free

In that time I’ve also worked the steps. Thank God for my sponsor. He brought me down from spiraling out of control on a selfish and controlling path last night. It’s hard to let go and let God when it comes to my son.
I thought I could save him from having a dad with all of these characters defects. Truth is, he’s got me as a dad and I’ve found recovery early enough that I might be able to guide him to a spiritual existence. It’s not gonna be perfect. I’m human.
Rather than focusing on being a better parent, I need to focus on being sober and on helping others. Worrying about how he’s gonna turn out because of my mistakes is preventing me from being of service and it’s manifesting exactly that which I hope to avoid. Also, gotta keep knocking out those amends.

Sobriety is the first thing I’ve done for me. This is the proudest I have ever been of myself in my life.

Oh boy, well said. Thanks for sharing this; I relate. I do everything for everyone else and worry about pleasing everyone else. What a great perspective. Thanks for sharing and I’m sooooooo proud of your journey and numbers! :hugs:

Chris @Hidden I’m extremely proud of you for your 100 days of sobriety and ability to make difficult decisions. Sometimes they’re inevitable for the growth to take place. I know how hard it is to be alone especially if you’re always used to be with someone. During my first year and after a recent divorce I would have welcomed a relationship with arms wide open if the right person would have shown green light. Didn’t happen and now I’m sure I wouldn’t have been ready for it, with anyone. Give yourself time and work your sobriety. Easier said than done, but worth it. Go to meetings, reach out here and elsewhere. You have all the capability to make it better as far as I know you. Take care of yourself my friend :hugs:

We are sober twins!

YouTube is the devil for me. I’ve acted out soooo many times on it. So that’s a boundary for me. I can never get on it again, EVER.

Celebrating day 85. Not craving today. But it’s still not easy, if that makes any sense. Had a good CR meeting last. Every bit helps. Stay sober everyone!
