Checking in. I felt cravings last night: Friday, I always used to drink more on Friday, and I went out to dinner. But I drank water and I feel so much better for that choice today.

I had a 7am meeting this morning, now off for a run and then I need to do my Christmas shopping for my wife.
@Hidden Itâs completely natural to have a down day or period. When we get sober we donât escape being human condition. I know I often have an expectation when I get sober that everything should be sunshine and rainbows, that I should be excelling at every facet of life, and then I judge myself when itâs not, or when Iâm in a funk. Be kind to yourself, and youâll recharge. Hit me up anytime, man.
@DontDoDrugs Glad to see you checking in. Iâve been thinking about you a lot and sending positive energy your way. It sounds like you know, that thereâs a couple things you could be doing different. I know I feel better by just taking a baby step and cracking that book open. It gives me just the slightest bit of momentum, and the momentum can grow. I donât think your a bad person. If you were, you wouldnât be here, you wouldnât be trying to change, you wouldnât feel regret over your actions.
Hope you all have a great day.

A few days ago while seriously considering throwing in the towel on sobreity, I left my house and immediately noticed this in the sky directly on front of me. Iâm pretty sure you can see the question mark, if not then maybe itâs not there and I need more help then I realize. Either way it brought me back a few steps and again I started questioning my reasons for committing to a life that seems to be one of solitude, except for my family.
Anyway, it seems what I lost sight of was the connections made from trying to be helpful to others around here. By doing so I was helping my own sobriety as well, maybe more my own than others. Whichever the case, the holidays and the great question mark in the sky are indeed opposing forces right now but I hope to continue to help myself by helping others with a kind word or 2.
Good day all. Stay strong. Stay the course.

No, no doctor. I like to doctor myself first 
Itâs better now, but itâs itchy. And it was a good thing I work with my classes on so the customers couldnât see the bags under my eyesâŚ

Day 2 with no cocaine! The next few days will be the hardest. My nose is feeling real sore and my head hurts, but thatâs okay. I really like having this app to talk about it with other people, it really helps.

Well done everyone, Iâm just moshing out to some heavy metal on Spotify and if any of you have a clue who Manowar is, You truly are warriors of the world and we stand united.

Husband is feeling a bit better.
88 yo MIL just missed her flight from FL to visit with us for a week. Luckily we got her on the next flight. A bit worried that sheâll be on her own in the airport for 5 hours⌠
Iâm drinking lots of tea and watching Netflix⌠when I have 14 things on my to-do list. Donât care.

I would say keep her from messing with it too much, but if you call the vets office the receptionist might be able to advise. A cone might be better than diapers? Again a question for the vet really. Hope you find a resolution soon, I know it can be a real worry when animals are ill because they canât tell us whatâs wrong. But, like us they are resilient and can take a lot. You will know if things deteriorate and something more urgent is needed.

93 Days. Iâm so proud of myself. I was able to fix my car with a little help from my sister in law. The key wouldnât turn and I was able to take it apart with the help of you tube. These things would never get done while I was using. Iâm so clear headed and able to think rationally without flipping out.
