Day 335 checking in

Just wanted to check in. I haven't been having any cravings lately. I had to get back and read some old post of mines to remember the pain that has brought me here. In these 335 days I see alot of growth in my mental health and happiness.

Not as far along as you are, day-wise, but I agree about the personal growth aspect.

It's FINALLY happening for me.

Congratulations. Those horrible cravings just kind of dwindle away until they become passing thoughts, don't they? That's recovery.

Congratulations, you are getting close to a year. I remember bring very emotional when I hit hat one year mark. I felt an enormous sense of accomplishment, and pride. It seemed like I could take on anything. Keep reading about all of your successes, and keep adding more to the list!

That is a great reminded of how the crave reduced for sure.

We here know that with the relapse comes fierce maddening cravings.

Never never ever ever drink booze again.

It is poison.

Thanks.

Wonderful! I think you are doing amazing. Its so smart of you to share your thoughts and feelings and you keep going.
I like how self aware you are. You are recovering. Its commendable. You are helping a lot of people when you post and most importantly you are continually improving your life.

Keep on keeping on!

Things are getting better at home. We have set 1 date night a month and taking the kids to the park since restrictions are being lifted. I spending so much time reading and and focusing on my mental health. I buried my problems and turned my head on my mental health. I was lost and under the impression that my image was everything I look top shape physically but mentally I wasn't putting in the work on the most important muscle the brain.
Its like a bodybuilder skipping leg day lol not balance. Thanks everyone for the support.
