Looking good, and I can smell it too! I was saying earlier I could hear it and couldn’t then articulate why. Just an awesome Spring feeling

Normally don’t like putting photos of myself on here, but I’m trying to participate in the community more … This website has been a huge help to say the least … My sobriety was greatly tested in the last two or three weeks. I was not willing to let my guard down. I could almost cry thinking about how I don’t want to go to hospitals And Detoxes anymore . And it Scares me to think that I can’t even count the times just in the last two years. How many seizures can I have? How many six-month binges can I go on where I lock myself in a cave ? I’m going to listen to what professionals are telling me, I’m going to listen to suggestions, I’m going to continue to get real about everything. 100% know that This Has to be everything. My job is to stay sober. So I can’t let my guard down anymore it’s all about telling on myself When I’m not doing good and reaching out to the network and contacts and everything I been learning … So I’m going to keep sticking to my routines and schedules, hopefully the anxiety gets better. … Sometimes I really can’t tell anymore what is real, and the morning anxiety can be terrifying. I’m trying to be grateful. I’m trying to take a look at my life and realize oh my God I have this chance. So I’m going to keep drinking my watermelon juice, playing my guitar, and keeping things basic and calm.

Nice to meet you.
I’m glad you’re here and speaking some hard truth about your situation. The more you expose the more healing can take place.
Recovery has become a lifestyle for me and this app and forum has DEFINITELY saved me multiple times over.
Why we go to the depths we go, well that’ll be uncovered when we’re ready.
One day at a time.
I’m glad you took the step to share on here so we could get to know you better.
Staying with Myself
Today, I see that taking care of myself begins inside of me. It is not just a function of what I do, but the attitude with which I move through my day. Having my own life is about checking in with myself to see how I’m doing. It’s wearing a sweater if I’m cold and taking a break if I’m tired. It’s making sure that I’m having enough fun in my life, paying attention to what I enjoy doing, doing more of that and finding ways of reducing what doesn’t feel good. Having a life that is well suited to me is letting myself have my own unique likes and dislikes, and acting on them in constructive ways. It is not organizing my life so that it is good enough for everyone else, forgetting that it needs to be good enough for me as well. I occupy the center of my own life.

Proud of you for realizing and speaking your truth to us. I’m grateful for your honesty and wish you the best! You look determined in your photo - you can do this. You are doing it. I really love the gratitude thread here and it might be a place you’d benefit from checking out and sharing more. I think I’ve seen you on there before but I’m not sure, I don’t read everything, but my own daily gratitude practice has helped me in tough times.

Early morning couch, coffee, and chill with one of our 2 rescues while the minions get ready for school on my 307th day free of the insanity of active alcoholism. Have a great day everyone.

Stacking the last load of gear out…
Almost to the last 25 traps…
I pumped about 75000 pounds of iron the last couple of days!
I just got home from finishing my 3rd sober crab season.
Not gonna lie. A beer sounds good! Recovery sounds better!
857 days in a row, I choose recovery because being a drunk SUCKS!!!

Thank you so much for your words. I’ve been on this site for about a year but only really been recently using it the last couple weeks. I will have to check out some of those gratitude threads you We’re talking about. It’s really easy to be honest and be so real right now. I’m exhausted and I finally came to the end of the line. I’m just gonna do whatever I have to do to stay off that vodka. Even with my track record in my conditions and health it’s still wants to trick me and say come on man it’s not that bad. Sometimes I think maybe I’m being too honest maybe I’m going to offend somebody. But I’m so exhausted I just think that doesn’t matter anymore. Eventually I’m going to write something on my story section. It’s just so much and the timeline of the last 12 years has been bothering me. Maybe that’s the wrong thing to do but I almost need to see it on paper because it’s unbelievable. I don’t know how I’m here. So practicing gratitude is definitely something I need to work on. Hope you have a good rest of your day and thank you
