Age 36 – Married, 150 days clean

Just a quick post on here to celebrate day 90 of my recovery.

It hasn’t been easy but it hasn’t been as difficult as I thought it would be. A number of things have helped:

1. Complete honesty with my wife. I am still working on this.

2. Reduced screen time – my phone is out of my reach a lot of the day.

3. Counselling sessions

4. Support group meetings

5. Taking each day one day at a time.

6. Journaling and focussing on things I am grateful for.

7. The support of my wife has been essential.

If I can achieve this, so can anyone. But I also know that I have been here before. This time needs to be different -this time will be different. It is a challenge but that is the nature of the beast. Take heart in your achievements so far, take every day one day at a time. We can do this and become better people. 

UPDATE: Have reached day 150. Can’t quite believe that it’s here but I’m grateful for the numbers.
