Closed - Checking in daily to help maintain focus #5

Congrats!! It IS a lot. First weeks and months are the hardest part. You have all the right to be proud of yourself man :muscle:

Tere hommikust kallis :kissing_heart:

Do you have booze left? Poor it out in the sink, or let someone else do that for you. Make yourself a solid plan. What are you going to change this time to let it work? Have you tried to accept help, like AA ore therapy @Try2change?
Make today your last day one ever.

Nice numbers @emc2018 :star_struck: Half a year in your pocket!! Congratulations for it! :confetti_ball:

Glad you made it sober @TrueSpiritRyuu and congratulations with your whole week. Itā€™s hard to see someone else struggeling with addiction. But he has to make his own choices. If he doesnā€™t want to quit his wife cannot make him do so.
Great costume your son is wearing! Curious about the one for your daughter too, hope you will share it when itā€™s finished!

That looks great @Hidden, enjoy your holiday!

:rofl: Hope you can abandon your throne soon @Sabrina80 and feel better!

Welcome @Nvbookthief 18 days is a big achievement buddy, glad you are proud!! :facepunch:
You should!

Day 468 :coffee:
Survived the funeral yesterday and ate the whole box of chocolat almost by myself :hugs:
Chocolat is my plan B and alcohol was my plan A.
A cure for all my emotions. Now I have to deal with the emotions instead of numbing them. Itā€™s harder but better. Feel a little bad about me eating al that chocolat, so having a fasting day too @zzz.
Today a lazy day, going to Ikea :grin: Daughter needed stuff she donā€™t need :wink:
This morning the sky was gorgious, this picture my husband made while running:

I quit cigarettes 148 days ago, Iā€™d tried once but not seriously, my now ex didnā€™t like it and I was doing it for him. This time Iā€™m doing it for my wellbeing and after I quit alcohol it was easier to stop. I found that when I drunk I craved for a smoke more. The first few days were hard but Iā€™m taking it odaat and it ainā€™t bad at all. All I have now is memories of smoking.
Sending you strength for when you decide to quit.
Blessings and sobriety!

Thanks @Joy, your encouragement and blessings are much appreciated :pray: what you said about quitting for YOURSELF is the key. I tried to quit for doctors, this and that person, neighbours catā€¦ this time itā€™s about my whole lifestyle including sobriety. Iā€™m gonna make it :facepunch:

Good morning ā€¦ Iā€™m 90 bloody days ! Woop woop. 3 months of sobriety. I didnā€™t even realise until I checked my app just now . I should be 11 months but stupid me thought i could relapseā€¦ Iā€™m so pleased I didnā€™t stay out in that dark lonely place and you guys all helped to put my shame and embarrassment behind me . Iā€™m off to church now to give my thanks to the good Lord for being my saviour. Wishing everyone a blessed day x

Day 118. Raining and 52 degrees in December? This is ridiculous. I have my daugher home for just another day, her cats are making me crazy and Iā€™m also allergic to one of them. Will.miss her, catsā€¦not so much. Been thinking about angels a lot lately, donā€™t know if there is a meaning behind this random thought. Been saving pictures to the phone too which isnā€™t my thingā€¦very confusing. Happy Sunday all, hope your day goes well.

Good job on your 446 days, that is just amazing!

Iā€™m always trying to give up the cigs and have thought about giving it a real good go in the NY. Iā€™m down to about 5 a day now and stocked up on nicorette spray, which I thought helped a bit in the past. Iā€™m sure there used to be a ā€œgiving up cigsā€ thread but I canā€™t see it anymore?

Keep up the good work :+1:
