Working at my one week anniversary today

Last week Friday I had my last fix. This week Friday I’m with my dog at the river again. Yesterday morning was tough but it’s gotten better in the last 18 hours even. I went to AA today and got a coin. 20 years ago I went to AA and thought the coins were dumb, now I’m proud to have it in my pocket and it’s a good touchable and visible reminder of what has been achieved.

Great job Kevin!

Hi Kevin! May I ask what river? Beautiful! My German shepherd female loves getn out too :slight_smile: 28 days here ...it's been 10 years since I could say that! I know what you mean about good reminders...it gets easier and easier the more time passes to forget how awful I used to make myself feel every morning from the night before. Day after day

We’re in northern Utah at the Logan river by the dog park.

Great job! You are one week in stronger than ever. Keep up those meetings. Isn’t it amazing to be able to do things like being outside walking with your dog?! The simple pleasures will come back to you again!

Keep coming back!

I have felt the same as out coins. I had 9 months when I was in my cousins wedding. The wedding party all too a party bus to the reception. I held on to my 9 month coin so tight that it scratched me. I remember, vividly, thinking “if they offer me champagne, I am going to take it and drink it. Only if it’s offered.” As I gripped that coin, not a single person offered me a champagne or anyone kind of drink… HP at work
