RR 90% 3 days sober. As hinted at yesterday, I am going to update this first thing in the morning from now on. As since starting this blog I have only relapsed on days when I haven't updated this. As you can see, I feel like my resolve to stay sober has already dipped slightly. Looking back at my RRs leading up to my last relapse it's clear that the danger signs were already there. I need to face how I'm feeling at these times and try to take action to address a low resolve rating. For example, this might be doing extra recovery work, attending extra 12 step meetings, doing outreach calls and step work. It might also be that I need to be kind to myself to treat my self to something like a meal out or do something fun. |

RR 100% 2 days sober. Yep, haven't updated this since Monday which is really bad. Probably won't come as a surprise that I relapsed on Wednesday and again on Thursday. Really disappointing. I'm yet to relapse on a day when I've updated this blog so maybe there is something in updating this first thing in the morning to set me up for each day. On the positive side I went to a 12 step meeting yesterday, and another one today. I am stepping my recovery up to include meetings 3 times a week. Also, considering making some other changes that I can't really go into the specifics of here because it's a bit personal. Hopefully onwards and upwards from here. |

28 days sober (4 weeks sober today!)  RR 55% Feeling quite triggered today but have managed to stay sober. White knuckling somewhat at the moment but have solid recovery plan in place that should see me stay sober. I've noticed over the last month that I do suddenly get angry and irritated by little things that in theory shouldn't work me up so much, and this is part of my problem currently. Going to do some more OCD diary work as part of my recovery work today. |

27 days sober RR 90% My resolve rating was a lot lower when I first woke up and was in that drowsy snoozing moment. However, since getting up and getting on with my day my resolve to stay sober has got a lot better. I did some outreach calls to people I have met at 12 step meetings. Going to do some stepwork and read back through my OCD diary as part of my recovery work for today. Best wishes to all, Jeff. |

26 days sober (3 weeks and 5 days!) RR 90% Had a nice day today. Went to a 12 step meeting this morning. Had some food and watched a film I find inspiring. Resolve rating is back up high. Updated my OCD diary for the first time in a while - I need to keep doing that as it's an important part of my recovery work. |
