Very proud of myself for making it through the day and not relapsing on opiates, even though my cravings were very strong and everything was readily available.

<3 yay

Hehe me too kinda. Very nice visual representation <3.

Nice routine Mysterie, btw. I'm going to start walking my dogs soon. It's been so damn hot here but it's cooling down so I might give it a-go tomorrow. A little 30 minute cardio sounds fun too. I really want to join a gym for the sole purpose of using an Eliptical (it's my favorite and burns so many calories). There's none by my house though :\.

Way to go addy <3/ You made it through the day!!!! You did it, that's all that matters. The cravings already past right? :) <3

See you chaps tomorrow =D! <3!
 
Thanks love <3 it honestly has been nothing short of a miracle that it's been going so smooth I am so thankful. I didn't believe it at all going into it that it would be like this. Especially going from the state I was in.

EDIT:

With trip and Mysterie talking about exercise and healthy eating (both of which I've compleatly neglected due to my unstable midset and anxiety which is now under control) I am really going to start working on that starting tomorrow.

New goal: Begin light exercise regime (walking dogs--they need the energy release anyways they're driving both me and themselves nuts being trapped inside all day!), and definitely going to get out tomorrow and buy myself a weeks worth of healthy meals. Oh yeah, and some last minute sun bathing before summer disappears. I haven't been in my pool once this summer! I think it's about time. Being suppressed with anxiety and anxiety rooted depression has really halted my progress up until now. It feels wonderful to think with a clear mind. So many possibilities for the future and happiness in the horizon :).

Taken Aug. 22 (in Epcot center with my mom) how funny =D

How is CaseFace doing?

I love keeping track beginning of Day 12 =D. Late start, even though I woke up at 8am with my boyfriend to see him off to work, Bluelighting can sidetrack you a bit...in a good way ;).

<3 Good day alls. Keep up the progress!!!! <3

Hey...maybe things are getting better....I had a real why the hell am I worried so much moment.

I had a dream last night that I was strung out again. I woke up and remembered that I am stable, sober, and maybe things aren't so bad. I am fed, I have a roof over my head, and I'm working. That was more than I could have dreamed of when I was using.

My ex's boyfriend left her. Maybe she might not be able to handle my son alone and need my help...cross your fingers....

To all those in early recovery...never forget what your bottom felt like lest you become as ungrateful as I was.
 
september just kicked off amazingly as far as my recovery goes being how just this morning i got home from the World Convention of Narcotics Anonymous, shit was amazing. it's gonna be hard to top but i know that if i keep it clean no matter what, the journey continues.

i'm considering making a lot of changes as far as my recovery goes- homegroup, method of stepwriting- but it all comes down to the fact that i need to continue doing something different to find what works for me, and the world convention honestly worked wonders on my state of mind.

did you guys know that september is national recovery month? (sorry if somebody already mentioned it earlier in the thread)

Very, very happy for you! Opiates are YOUR bitch now!

Doing really good this week, so far. Got over a mental block and reconnected with someone I'd been avoiding out of guilt. Feels so much better now. Getting a lot of cleaning done in the house; only a matter of time until I'm going to be raking leaves each weekend. lol Thanks for the earlier kind words, Stardust. Have a great Tuesday peeps.
 
Day 3.

I notice my addiction has caused my to isolate myself. I don't really have any sober friends or support network at all. I am considering going to meetings, but I have always hated them in the past. I was court ordered to attend AA for a good amount of time and I just never really liked it at all. I actually went to a NA meeting within the past few months, but I got so frustrated that I left before the meeting even ended (being in cold turkey withdrawal made me even less enthusiastic to be there.)

However, when I was reading through the Sobriety Time thread, it seems almost everyone with considerable clean time did some sort of meetings. I have tried to white knuckle it so many times in the past with no success, I don't see how this time is any different (although I am motivated).

I live in a fairly rural area and there are not many meetings here. I really think the key is finding a group you actually like. I am considering exploring some new meetings and giving it the old college try. Maybe I will get lucky and come across a meeting I can deal with, or even enjoy.

Not today though. Still feeling pretty bad (to be expected). I'm going to hunker down and try to distract myself all day. I'm going out of town for Thanksgiving to visit family/friends and my goal is to be a somewhat functional sober human being by that point.

That is awesome! Seriously impressive!

I hope everyone else is doing OK as well :)
 
checking in at the end of day 3 today

what a beautiful day really, i was working with my brother knocking in the boards for his pateo for the first half of the day in the sun listening to great tunes on the radio, he didnt have cigs at his house and im pretty sure i would have had one if they were there but i guess i got lucky

second half of the day i had work at the kitchen and i was in a better mood than usual and could relate to everyone and crack jokes and smile 300x more than usual (can attribute this to quitting weed and fine-tuning my supplement regime)

i keep having these 'life is so fucking precious and beautiful moments' and i cant wait until i can appreciate life so much more

if anyone wants a movie to watch that is life affirming and will give you shivers of ecstacy and will take your mind off any craving its "kiki's delivery service" from ghibli, i watched it for the first time last night (i know!!!!), and experienced feelings and muffled crackling laughter pulsing from inside my body, the likes no media in a year a least has drawn out in me.

i turned down some foods high in sugar at work today just to practice saying 'no' to things i would usually say yes to... NO! ;d
also a new goal is to sort out the dates of some group meditations i can go to weekly, to motivate me to maintain regular practice and play with others positive vibrations ~~~

i love you guys <3

I'm gonna check that movie out today, and I am glad you are feeling good! Yesterday I watched Spirited Away which was a good movie, and I also watched Grave of the Fireflies which is a very depressing story but an excellent movie regardless.

Be well :)
