June Getting and/or Staying Sober Thread

Hey guys, hope all are well. Thanks for sharing that post BTW. Had 13 months a day or two ago. :)
Keep it up everyone! And grants on your progress CH!
 
Caseface, dude that sounds wayy legit!! Buddhism is probably the closest religion to my own personal beliefs and morals/values, I don't identify as Buddhist but I'm always into learning more about it as a whole. What exactly are you going to be doing there?? Was the application process intense? Sorry so many questions but ahh that's so awesome you get to do that haha

congrats ! Every 24 seems like a huge victory ! 72 hours into hell myself hoping things improve soon ? Oxy is an evil tempting whore even when taken as prescribed. Can't believe I ever started this mess :)
 
Just checking in BLers: ) still hanging in there. Probably could score today but don't feel like it.....that's new! Here's to another 24!!!
 
I'm not sober because I'm still on a diazepam script but I'm 20 days out from cold turkey 24mg bupe and today is the first day I won't be using any sort of anti-wd meds. I'm starting to rattle a tiny bit again and I have a couple of strips of pregabalin right there but I'm not reaching for them. It's not clean or sober but it's a small victory at least, enough to let me think I can kind of join in with the fun on this thread.
 
Me too but having a rough day....hoping I make it through to the other side sober. Complete 180 from feeling super comfortable this morning :(

Nature of recovery (or just real life actually, that we miss when in addiction) isn't it. Things get easier as you go along though (supposedly).

I've had to take a load of non-recreational sleepers because the adrenaline is giving me wild chicken skin and making me feel like I'm on speed. I'm still happy with today though.
 
15 and a half months clean...today I decided to do automatic billpay for a yearly membership at my hot yoga studio. That kind of commitment never would have been possible without sobriety. I never would have had the discipline or motivation to take care of my body in that way. Happy and grateful.

Hey Captain! Hey there neversick!
 
Owen...I'm so sorry you've been in acutes that long...that must be miserable: ( didn't pick up yesterday even though it was one of the worst days I've had in a really long time. Still sober today....though it's dumping rain, cloudy and grey with no sunshine which can sometimes be a recipe for disaster for me especially coming off such a spirit and soul crushing day yesterday. Here's hoping we get a little break for me to take the dog out...I'd love to go for a long hike today but may not be in the cards..
 
I'm trying not to count the days this time either.... seems to just make me antsy waiting on a milestone that never comes. Im learning to just try and live life on life's terms. Stay sober as much as I can...and I'm feeling OK with that today.
