I had a bad day yesterday. I havent had the best past couple of weeks. I have been struggling getting out of bed in the mornings, I havent been getting the best sleep, my diet is on and off, and my motivation is hard to find. I had a really hard time doing anything yesterday.…

It is not uncommon to get urges to relapse. These urges can be pretty confusing and hard to understand. You can go from being motivated, feeling good, confident in you sobriety to feeling weak and willing to toss it all away. I have definitely had mental battles throughout my sobriety journey. I have thought about…

As I am getting more comfortable with my sobriety, I figured it would be a good idea to identify the purpose behind the blog. I typically just open this up, write whatever is on my mind, and close down the laptop. Not too much thought goes into my writing and the posts are typically just…
