Thanks for this information. I am new to this site, and at day 81. I’m so stressed out and this helped me put my priorities in order. Appreciate you for this as I am having trouble using online formats. Its hard being in everyday life after rehab. Im dual diagnosed, and feeling really low. This information has shown me that I am still in the beginning stages of sobriety, and that i have to continue 1step at a time

You are probably a lot like me in that our will, fortitude and self discipline is our greatest strength amd asset… That is, when we want it to be.

I have 2 days clean and sober
My plan of action is stay clean and sober just for today.
Start my day with a prayer and something positive whether it’s reading or just sitting in the silence being great Gil I’m alive
Stay present and not worry to far ahead
Remember to be greatful for this moment of sobriety
Stay positive and when I’m faced with negative situations JUST BREATHE!
Since there are not to many meetings where I am from and I have limited access to online fill my day with recovery to the best of my abilities.
Engage in a sober community and find like minded Individuals.
Find a sponsor
Address my health issues
Get a therapists (my mind has always been a chaotic place ever since I was little )and be so dang vulnerable it hurts because I am only as sick as the secrets I keep!
This is a lot now that I look at it but if I take this slowly and pace myself then everything will work out just as it should be thank you so much for this topic God bless.

My plan this time is to not let anyone else affect my sobriety. And to stop helping/hanging out with people that doesn’t make me feel good.
Don’t matter if it’s longtime friends,family or whatever.
I’ll do my thing and won’t care about anyones opinions or actions.
Same goes career wise. I’m going to stop pretending that I want to do what everyone else thinks would be a good thing for me.
And by doing that I’ll keep my peace and sobriety.

Currently concluded day 2 of sobriety and feeling good overall. I’ve noticed some withdrawals but my mind feels more clear. No turning back. I’ve been telling myself long enough “stop on Monday” and it never happened. Even though I’m only 2 days sober, I know I can do this.

Thank you! I’m so glad I found this app. There are so many amazing people here who seem to genuinely want to help:heavy_heart_exclamation:
If I can make it, it’ll surely be because of all the help and support I’ve received here.

Great reference points as i can relate what is working for me right now is the understanding why i have to stay away from the roller coasting with chemical use. Getting to a better place of accepting that there is no real healthy place for drugs in my life and realizing i have to work smarter in seperating from it…

Staying connected can feel like its all too hard sometimes. Thats when I know that really need to put the effort in. Small things, spending time in the garden, meditation, talking with others in recovery have all helped me to bring myself back to the present.

Wow this was so helpful thanks for sharing 
im omw to 90 days im at 61 days strong 
but believe it or not I have zero cravings or interest to do cocaine. In fact the only time it crosses my mind is when I get on this app and be like oh yea, I did do coke. But I know that I’m not out of the woods. I will definitely keep working my program. Thanks again for sharing friend
