I am just over 5 months and when I had weak moments I always posted here and there was someone around to talk me into my senses. I am grateful and thankful to be doing something I never dreamed I could accomplish. You can do it too! It gets easier, it truly does.

Tomorrow I will have achieved 3 weeks of sobriety which I'm very grateful for but I've taken it upon myself to do some reading around SR during my evening alone. In particular I've been reading about kindling, withdrawals and risky time frames in the first year. I guess I needed to reinforce tonight exactly where I am, what I am and keep learning so that I can spot any early relapse kind of thinking straight away. The fear of my last withdrawal won't last forever so this it is important that I never forget what I'm trying to do here and it is quite simple.......saving my life.
Take care everyone

It's easier to do the work to stay sober than to look for all that courage it took to get sober.

Sometimes our movements forward occur in tiny fractions of an inch at a time so imperceptible that we don't notice them. Suddenly we realize that we have made true progress.
Have faith; stay the course.
We do this together; lean on us.

I need to relax tonight. And be patient. You are right. I can't see progress in my life but it's just slow. Sober is always the way. thank youI like your posts a lot Jo. I am going to do the same--spend more time on my recovery. I too tend to 'forget' after a month or two and don't always recognize when thoughts of escape start up. It really does start well before the relapse. I start thinking I need to run away. When I realize it's not that simple, I consider running away in place! Need time, courage and patience.
Hi Kris! It's lovely to read your posts to everyone, every day. It's been very wonderful on this thread lately--of course, it always is but maybe I am finally slowing down enough to notice? I don't know, I just know you are a positive influence in my life every day--and others as well. Thank you.
And Suze! I hope you're settling in more every day. We're so happy to have you here in the States.
Neo, I was reading back and saw that you bought a domain? That is so exciting. An entrepreneur. I am very happy to hear that and proud of you, friend. I hope to find the courage one day--thank you for the inspiration.
Phoenix! Would you have a joke, please?
24 more please and love to you all. I am so grateful to be up to a couple weeks again.

Checking in for 24 hours. Finally finished one of my Buddhist course modules last night. So glad to finish that one as the teacher was not inspiring. Yay, onto the next module which is a heavy duty one about enlightenment for the benefit if all sentient beings. Even Richard Gere says its a major topic. Hehehe...whoo its cold. I really need gloves. My poor fingers freeze on my runs.

Another 24 hours of loving kindness, joy and sobriety pls ! Its 8:32am here !

He's sleeping right now. He had a tiring day. The rest should be good for him.
