Daily check in for SWAM after relapse #8 ❤

I’ve been having some tough days but getting through them. Thanks for asking. This sobriety shit is really hard but the pay off is worth it from what I hear. I’m still waiting for all those good things to start happening. I’m gonna have faith that eventually it will all be good. :two_hearts:

This is a short check in cause I’m exhausted from today.

Today was rough, but I was sober .

Hurting and healing.

Day 4 is better than day 1.

Congratulations. Now keep it up. Use every tool you have in your sobriety toolkit. Yes, it’s going to get rough at times. But those times will pass, and you’ll be grateful that you chose a better life.

Duuuuuude I am so with you!! I’m sorry I didnt reply yesterday I was not doing good by the end of the day. I am sooooo with you in tryna hold on to see some good things happen. I mean there have been small blessings for sure. But I imagine I’ll need some solid time before those gifts of sobriety, really start showing.

Praying for you today lovely!

Thanks Kev!!! Yeah yesterday was rough but I made it so that’s good. The neighbours were getting high and it was like streaming though my windows everywhere. I managed to get to sleep but it was way too hot to keep all the windows clothes so I was dying. But I made it!!

That’s what matters! I’m well into day 5 and I am not letting go.

Hey everyone,

I loved the little quote down the bottom so I included it aswell.

I’m about 10 hours away from a full week. It’s been a rough week but it’s had some beautiful moments.

Todays reading was about the maintenance side of sobriety; it helped me realise the last couple days have been harder because I started feeling good, and stopped working at it as much as possible. I was clingy to the early days and I fought hard. I’m still fighting hard but it will only become more difficult than it has to be if I dont push into sobriety 100% . I find it’s the one time being all or nothing comes in handy. And I’m all in for my sobriety.

I’ve been attending meetings but they have been intense. Socially, even outside NA, I think I’ve been giving way too much away. I’ve been trying to keep busy, which really helps, but at the same time I am running full steam ahead into EVERYTHING and I can feel my motivation declining and i am feeling a it burnt out.

I just need to keep fighting. I’m working on day 7 and Just For Today I will do the right thing over and over again, until…well until nothing. I will keep doing the next right thing.

There is beauty in failure. I have failed 1000 times, and thanks to all the love and support on this forum, as well as the program, I am able to fight for another day. The beauty isnt in the outcome, but in a journey of loyalty to self improvement. Its found in not settling for less than who I am. I cant figure out who that is when I’m using. Sitting with myself is torture. I am feeling an immense amount of discomfort, but itll pass and I am grateful for the little moments of joy I do get to experience.

Well done for another sober day lovelies.

Morning team,

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay I’m so excited! I made it to a week again. I’m working on day 8 and I am soooooo excited. I didnt want to future trip, so I didnt wanna get too excited before hand but now that I have passed 7 I AM STOOOOOOOOOKED. Now to work on day 8!

I had a great sleep slept like a log! I woke up tired but I am starting to get some more energy, making my way through my coffee and weetabix :blush:.

Today I will hopefully get to hang out with a friend again, then a meeting, then seeing my mum. Throughout the day I have some study to do. And chores to get the house sorted.

I am feeling mentally good today. But still cautious about the potential triggers. I cant let mg guard down, but I feel like it’s okay to be excited about getting this far.

Today will be a good day! I love you all.

What job are you aiming for? How exciting!

Things are okay. Am writing poetry on insta loving that.

It’s a trainers position to train people which are distanced from the job market.
