Thank you and today’s marks my one week clean! What I’ve been doing is going on walks hanging out with friends from high school. ( I’m 26 now. ) watching movies helps alot. Writing about my day or whatever I feel at the moment. And I have a planner to keep me on as schdule.

As a fellow lurker, I think I can appreciate where you are coming from. :smirk: Connecting with others and even (gulp) being vulnerable by sharing my real self a little is helping me hold on. Isolating is my go-to behavior to cope with most everything stressful.
Congrats! 260 days in a row of clean time is incredible. It’s always good for people like me to see that it can be done. :muscle:

That’s awesome dude, I’m really happy for you. How are YOU feeling though? Are you still having kind of a rough time or is it getting better yet?

I’m doing good. Coming up on 365 days in October. Doesn’t really seem like that long. :slight_smile:

You know, I know that in extremes, isolating isn’t healthy for anyone, even introverts like myself (and probably you, huh)… However, I know that if a year ago I hadn’t isolated myself from almost every single person I knew while i was using that I would most likely still be using now.

But now it’s like… I realize that I’ve stabilized, and now I have to figure out how to do something I was never totally comfortable doing in the first place, which is talking to people. Interacting. Except now, I have trauma, major trust issues, and a jaded and cynical view of humanity in general. Maybe you can relate to some of this. lol :slight_smile:

Hello how r u doing

Oh I’m doing okay, I had a good day… Just winding down for bed. And yourself?

Doing great just getting ready for work

@Ahn-Uv that’s awesome you have that birthday right around the corner!! :birthday::heartbeat:
I have been struggling with trying to stay on track and interact with the people in my life who are “healthy,” i.e. sober/non-toxic. For some reason another go-to behavior of mine when I am slipping is to talk to my ex’s that I have always had toxic relationships with.

It’s quite some days later now! I have been rather disconnected in general. I read that last sentence I wrote a while ago and I have to laugh at myself because I spent a lot of yesterday talking in circles with my most recent ex. So beyond frustrating, but it occurred to me that I can choose to do something different today…I can be someone different. I don’t have to keep telling myself the same stories over and over, causing myself unnecessary suffering. I’ve been acting like a dum-dum lately, time to get back into action.
Anyway, just some Friday morning ramblings. Hope you are well and still checking in here. :blush:
