Day 81 update!
Thought I would check in! It's a surreal feeling that I've actually been sober this many days.
It's a weird feeling with Halloween coming up... Last Halloween I was living in Colombia and went out Halloween night and had one of the worst nights of my life... It was horrendous and I still think about it frequently was pretty traumatizing. Should have been a rock bottom but wasn't at the time.... Flashforward to now and I am going to be so happy to take my kid trick or treating and then come home safely with him 🙌 it was strange that I had my first drug craving yesterday since getting sober. But I reminded myself of last year and that I don't really want that for myself and I moved on.
Since sobriety has became the new normal for me you could say I have not been listening to the podcast like I was before or necessarily doing much I've just been living my life but without drugs and alcohol but I'm thinking I need to start reading some more books and continue my meditations and what not so as not to become complacent.
Pretty much all healed from my surgery now and I've started therapy as WELL...
That's all I got for now... Thanks for listening!

Congratulations on 81days Rs! Getting that self respect back by being a responsible parent is priceless too so very well done.
When those cravings hit, which they will do from time to time but with decreasing frequency, always remind yourself that those cravings are only temporary and will pass.
