Day 50 for me!

Just wanted to pop in for my periodical check in... time has been flying! today will make 50 days alcohol and drug free!

it's still going pretty well and like I mentioned before... this time I am not white-knuckling it at all I am super excited that alcohol and drugs are not in my life and I don't miss it or long for it and I don't think that my life is lacking because of it neither am I thinking in the back of my head when might I be able to start again and moderate it like I was last time...that won't be an option for me... last weekend the weather was so nice I had a fleeting thought about drinking but I was able to tell myself the truth about what that was going to be like.

I attribute my change in mind state to the "this naked mind" book and "sober curious" podcast and the "inner child workbook" I also got off of all social media and do a bath and meditation every night as my ritual. It has helped so much!

All is not perfect I'm still dealing with food addiction, anger and anxiety but am conscious of it and working on those things... Hope everyone is well!!

Congratulations on 50 days! You’re doing such a great job on developing a healthy routine. After almost 9 months sober I still feel the same sense of awe that I’m actually sober.

Great job! I also read this Naked Mind a little over 2 months ago...I'll have 60 days later this week. I'm re-reading it again and this time highlighting anything that jumped out to my experience or subconscious. I truly think this book has made more difference for me than any of the other books I read on alcohol use. I highly recommend that and her podcast as a supplement.

I agree it's a game changer. People either love or hate the book... It's very fact and science based not nessicarily a fun read,highlighting would be helpful for sure
