I’m searching for balance and the middle path…most addicts like me operate on the pleasure pain aspect…awful or awesome…breathe, relax best you can. LOVE AND LIGHT TO ALL.
This has been me the majority of my sobriety. Except for that one time when my son almost got hit by a drunk drive while he was crossing the street. I lost my damn Jesus!
It ain’t easy…but WORTH IT.
Probably one of the first changes I started seeing. Living life one day at a time
So good…I JUST posted homeostasis yesterday!
Scale of life…9s are impossible for me…do now want to endure 1s…looking for a smooth 5.5…odd perspective to some…works for me
Sorry I missed it… solid 3’s for me this week. Lots of cravings, days 30-40 my most frequent resets… hopefully September can be 7’s for both of us.
For sure I had some paws…post acute withdrawal at 30 90 and even at a year but they get shorter and further apart and by that time I knew how to cope. Keep truckin…
That is a great word! And something I hope to achieve.
Working on it. 1 year and 7 months here and am finally working on a lot of my issues: anxiety and childhood trauma. My health is forcing me to learn how to not constantly live in a state of fight or flight since I’m not going to get better unless I do. A book that has been very helpful is “The Untethered Soul” by Michael Singer. I recommend it for anyone who needs to calm down that persistent voice in their head. Meditation is also helping me even though my brain is still a busy little thing. With practice, it will get easier.
I haven’t logged into the app in awhile. (I’m still sober) tonight I just found myself in a situation that left my blood boiling. I kept my mouth shut.
As I lay in bed…I thinking about this situation and how I will address it tomorrow…I’m raging pissed. I though hey jump into sober time and reach out or just read and refocus. This post was in my notification…thank you I needed this reminder.
Funny how it can work like that isn’t it. Glad you’re checking in instead of stewing with it alone
