Day 16 ... made it ! Yay !

Well yesterday was my first real battle with cravings but I fought them off with housework and chocolate!
Today, I intend to go to the garden centre and get some plants for my balcony garden - one of my great pleasures !
During the week, I’m OK as I am engrossed in my work..but boy, the weekends are a challenge especially as it is so cold and I don’t feel like going outside.
Have a great Sunday everyone ..oh and I emptied my mailbox so happy to receive messages or tips ! :-)

Wonderful!
I am so glad you made it through! Soon enough your balcony is going to be a jungle. One that was built with determination, love and lots of growth!
Onwards!

Congratulations on working through those cravings. It’s very empowering triumphing over them. New plants always lift my spirit, that sounds like a great plan. Your balcony garden will surely be a place of serenity for you as your sobriety continues to grow along with the plants.

Here i am nearly 6 years and i still get tempted for the poison.

What does getting drunk do for me...

It makes the world go away. Everything is fine. No problems.

i have been keeping busy, like you, but sometimes i just want to feel...no problems... without having to build a bird house or whatever.

So this morning, on the way to the gym, i just decided to pretend i didn't have a worry.

It worked.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
