I've survived 2 days on my own at home, alcohol free. This for me is a bit of a miracle. I've found strength through the #recoveryposse . There is nothing in the fridge and I'm scared of going to the supermarket to get some dinner tonight, the shop is part of the ritual for me.

@panthergirlrx Today has been extremely hard for me too, in fact, all week. Please hang in there, tomorrow morning you will be very proud of yourself, and so will we. Try and shut down or distract those voices, as hard as it can be to do.

Sober, and out with my eldest. Normally I’d have blacked out by now. I really want to drink as everyone here is drinking but this moment reminds me it’s worth being sober and being with my boy. I’ve lost too much time already. #RecoveryPosse

@L_Villandry Very true, I often feel timid to share about my recovery as it hasn’t been “the way”. I have got to do what works for me, and although I don’t have a long run, I have the most amount of sober days in the last 6 months than I have had in total in the last 20 years combined.

@livmattock Liv, you need to go to hospital. At least go to inspire and get on the rehab waiting list. Rehab isnt the answer, I’ve been there twice, but you need the journey. Please!

3 weeks without a drink. 12 6k runs completed, and 12 pounds lost. My depression has gradually ramped up and I’ve been struggling hard with the addiction to counter my emotions, but I’m hanging on in there. I will stay sober today.

@livmattock Every therapist I've ever seen, says I refuse to grow up and that deep down I am a frightened little boy. I do agree with that, but like it or not, to navigate this world I've had to be/play at being an adult to survive. I probably deserve an Oscar. I mask heavily.

6 weeks of running and gym, and both in some days back in May (good effort, I'm old), and that 1.5st lost has gone straight back on with all the lapses since then 🫃 start again today. It's going to take me a while to get back up to speed, I wish I felt more positive about it 😂

Struggling with depression badly this evening. Mind in overdrive torturing me, analysing every bad choice I’ve made over the last few months. Alcohol would have closed these negatives down. Now I’m relying on just me and my brain 😔it’s gonna be a long night!

@livmattock I’m certainly not fooled by your posts when you are drunk, and you fib, as an alcoholic it’s all I’ve done for 15 years, I see through it fairly quickly, and it’s okay. Just keep trying, if you keep trying you will get there. It’s okay. ❤️

@livmattock It’s something I found out myself over all these years trying to get sober, the only person that can help me, is me. I’ve been to AA, local drug programs, rehabs, had hundreds of hours of therapy, and while they all helped to various degrees, no one is going to fix me, but me.
