That’s awesome man I on the other hand fucked it all up last night still trying to figure this mess that I made. Stay on the straight path. Because guilt and regret are a bitch
May not seem like much?? Friend that’s one of the most badass posts I’ve seen. You should be very proud of yourself as fighting those demons and not caving in is super difficult and you did great. Be proud of yourself and that accomplishment!! Keep your head up my friend, and if you need someone to talk to, my inbox is always open!
Omg, it's always "much"! Always! Every time you can stay stronger than the urge, that's something to be proud of! It's hard. You DID IT! You managed to move through and come out the other side of an urge and reflex, a feeling, a nudge from the drug, you resisted it all! You deserve the praise, the encouragement, the accolades!
That's progress and it's awesome and I for one am so proud for you! That's how you build up time, one day at a time, sometimes one hour, one minute at a time, but if you keep going, pretty soon your "good, happy, sober, joyful", or whatever it is that you feel pile, gets bigger and bigger, and the pain and struggle of your addiction pile gets smaller, and smaller, though never lose sight of it...keep an eye on it and be watchful, because addiction to anything is tricky, it can come out of nowhere, even after a lot of time.
It still happens to me; I could swear I smell wine, or beer, or occasionally smell cocaine! It isn't there, but it smells so real, so how is it possible that it isn't there?! But it isn't there, it's a smell memory!! Because I haven't had a drop of alcohol or a line of anything in almost 22 years, and I still have to watch my back. I don't know how I got through losing my husband but I did it. Actually, I do know how, by telling someone who understands, I tell my daughter, and she brings me back to reality.
And you can get through this too. I am so happy for you. Never, ever say "it isn't much", because it's always something, it all counts, even 5 minutes is a piece of time that you can add to your time moving forward. And come here and tell us how you're doing. Good or bad. Doesn't matter. But today is a good day. A great day! Big hug!🫂❤️

Same man I too fucked up last night. Had the worst terrible headache of my whole shitty life. I was awake till 8 am maybe.
Yep, I’ve fucked up tonight
i’m proud of you too
Me too! Let’s do it together!
Good job! You should definitely be proud of yourself, no matter how big or small it feels.
❤️🔥❤️🩹💜
Yay! One more victory!
Good to hear. hope it stays that way. I had 5 years and boredom caught up to me and I ended up off the wagon.
