Great you keep going @Josegavin37, that is important. Recovery is no linear process. 25 years is a long time, the patterns are strong, but it is possible to undo them step by step, day by day. Each day we work on recovery. Then this will become the new pattern, a new way of living, a joy. Watch your thoughts, temptations, triggers and practice not reacting. Temptations, urges come and go. May come in waves, we need to learn to surf on those waves for they will be coming again and again. Keep going, keep growing in strength and be strongly determined to build a new you

And don't forget ... we are counting down, so it is 40/40, tomorrow it will be 39/40 and so on.

 

It can happen that the more you are determined and staying clean and sober the harder urges and temptations come rushing in. They're testing us. As I said to josegavin we need to practice surfing. The waves can come at any time, our job is to get better and better at observing the waves, the urges, not engaging, see them for what they are, energy, sensations. As soon as a film in your head starts and you engage in the content of that film, the story, it gets harder cause then it is like putting oil in fire. You feed the urges and they get overwhelming. We need to stay out of the drama, the imagination, the narrative. Keep observing like a scientist.
And when it comes to sleep ... try to focus on breathing. Or stay in your body with focus, feel your feet, knees, arms. Don't let thoughts run the show, don't give them any importance. It's the brain producing thoughts.
Or get up, drink a glass of water, read a bit (no screen stuff), walk around a bit, stretch a little, read or do some breath work, meditate, then go back to bed. Stay strong @L.LAWLIET.
Stay persistent, determined but also gentle and loving with yourself. Strict but kind.

 

Keep in mind we are counting down @Josegavin37. You are counting down from 40. So today for you is 39. 39/40. Tomorrow 38, then 37 .. 36 ... 35 ... until you reach Day 0 then your achievement will be unlocked Stay strong and thrive.
