Im slwsys an addict brother. It is true. I havent drank in over 10 years but if I have one drink in no time ill be as bad as ever and worse. Not acting on my addiction puts it in remission. It doesnt take it away.
Day 26. I've been quite busy which has helped keep me focus and stay level-headed. I have been feeling a little strained due to various responsibilities, but it should ease up soon. I believe that consistency is a big help to the recovery process, so I've been trying to regulate my sleep schedule, make sure I'm practicing mindfulness, exercise etc... I think once all these things fall into place everything will be easier.
Day 10 was a rough one. Has to go back into the office today which for me meant no personal cell an agreement between me and the wife for now. I had to really push through today and even now at the end of the day i’m not sure how I made it because this was as close as I had ever been to giving in to the urges. Hoping tomorrow will be better
The most challenging days are ahead! 9,10,11 are tough ones as i recall from the last attempts as well as 21,22, 23 (that was when i always relapsed). Keep fingers crossed...
If we practice self-confidence and keep our thoughts and actions in line with our good self-esteem we won't need to keep the fingers crossed ... and maybe those days are not as challenging as they used to be as we constantly change, grow and develop ourselves.
It's really amazing to see someone getting inspired by my post, thank you. Keep going bro. Wishing you to cross 90 days and more.
I'm rising early today and plan to continue with the discipline. 5: 30. In spite of my most recent set back I've made alot of progress and I need to remind myself of that or I can bury myself in shame and guilt. I've been practicing certain disciplines and actually sticking with them as I work on building a new life. I wish us all success . One day at a time.
