My milestone badge

Seeing my 24-hour milestone badge made me so happy! I’m already approaching the 3-day badge and can’t wait to collect more.

I never thought I’d be one of those people with a sober badge or coin. You really just never know where life will take you.

This 24 hour badge is single-handedly the most important one I’ll ever achieve. Because, if I can make it through a full day, I can make it through another, and another, and so on.

Hoping beyond hope that my lungs will heal and that I didn’t damage them beyond repair. But I have to take accountability and understand that my choices led me here. Accountability is rough when you just want to break down and cry. But I will not cry— instead I choose to focus on a clean, air-filled future.

Only dragons should be exhaling smoke, not humans!

Thank you!! I know it may sound silly but I’m telling myself “if you were a dragon rider, you’d have to be healthy and strong” and it makes me want to stay quit forever!

3 days sober and staying strong. Haven’t had a single craving or desire but that’s probably due to the chest/lung discomfort. I’m writing this in the ER while awaiting results. So far everything looks normal!

This day will be a stark reminder of what happens when I FAFO. Never again. No smoking OR vaping anything. Oxygen is so crucial and this scare was more than enough for me to quit for life.

Next badge is my 5-day badge and I can’t wait to see it!

Another milestone down! Glad I’ve already surpassed seven days, which was when I initially had my relapse and bought a vape.

While I may not be thinking about my cravings and have been staying busy, I reminded myself today that that feeling can strike at any moment. I reminded myself that staying away is my only option and to stay on the path.
