Day 19!!!
Made it to day 19...it is a miracle i am not sure how i am doing this lol! As yall heard i signed lease on a brand new apartment for me and my son. We dont move in until feb 15th...in the meantime we are living with a "friend" who is a toxic and negative sociopath and drug addict who says negative things to me all the time then i feel horrible about myself.... Had a twinge of a urge to drink because stress is so high but i prayed before bed and been reading daily reflection, etc....only 2 more weeks and i cant fall off because of this living situation!
I plan to stay close to SR, meetings, workouts, etc... I am imagining life in our new apartmwnt, thriving and away from that negative energy.
Proud of my 19 days

I love your positive thinking and exercise. Getting away from a toxic person was liberating for me as well. My ex drinking buddy routinely tried to bring me down. He hasn't contacted me in several years and I like it.
Now that I am this clean and have been living a non drinkers lifestyle things are much better.
I give off positive energy and it comes back to me. Sure there are tough times, like getting cut off or dealing with an unstable person, but sober living is as we are intended.
It has taken loads of suffering to get through the first 4 or so years but now I suffer less on all fronts.
I keep sr logged in because I learned that as an addict for life I will stray towards relapse if i don't stay engaged with other addicts.
Actives find me less than desirable anyway. I think having a clean person around makes many addicts unconsciously uncomfortable. I see it especially with my family when I visit over the holidays.
Thanks.
