Evening All,
So I'm 8 hours ahead of you so already arrived at "tomorow" but calling in yesterdays 4/31 days!
Thank you @maman, @cathybird & @RobM99 for your kind comments...............
Monday was my 200th day sober off c*caine & alcohol.
It was also the day i was operated on (privately) in an overseas hospital to rectify a severe injury caused by alcohol/drugs a year ago which led on to my eventual sobriety. I had to pull on my proverbial "Manpants" & go through this alone. I have literally lost my partner, business, pets & purpose through my drug & alcohol usage although thankfully have a property left which i didn't lose.
I was on this forum for years checking in daily and keeping myself in check as well as a gym regime with some MAJOR alcohol blips!
Unfortunately, I stopped checking in and when my life started to unravel i just drank & snorted more.
Keep checking in everyone & please don't let yourself become me! Believe it or not, complete sobriety becomes easier the longer you do it as @RobM99 can probably attest to.
Not preaching, just highlighting you don't want to end up as me! Sadly it is easy to do if you take your eyes off the brakes.
All the best!
