@CpSober Do what feels right for you. While it's impossible to post on social media without offending a small minority, it's understandable if you want to stop posting days if you're getting that response. However, if posting days helps your recovery, carry on, lots of us love to see it!

@TegeusC Many congratulations man. Been keeping up with your updates since you were counting in days. Outstanding work. ODAAT

@peterent @WarriorZoltar That's true. The health department does a better job of rehabilitating addicts now than the justice department did before. Who'd have thought?

@96Mizzou @WarriorZoltar I'd never been before when I moved here. Retrospectively it was a ridiculous risk, but it paid off!

@TomCampbell You're doing HMV dirty, man, I think it's time you step up and accept that. You wouldn't be the sensational journalist you are now without the experience of selling all those copies of Space Jam and All Saints albums.

Most days I can, some days I can't. Today is one of those days. I just can't. I need it to stop. Just a day off, just an hour even.
All I have is: Go to sleep clean and sober, and hope tomorrow is one of the days I can. #recoveryposse #odaat

@BikuWandering Thank you. Sorry you go through that too. I used to be a total pro at handling them, but they're not frequent anymore, which I am immensely grateful for, but it means if there were signs I totally missed them.

Had a full on balls to the wall anxiety attack earlier. First time I've had anything like it in months and first time in years it's been that bad, heart palpitations, full body shaking, trouble breathing. The works. I was outside a hospital so I was in the right place if I had...

... things. Now I'm in the devoid of emotion and in dire need of sleep phase. Needed cigarettes, sugar, caffeine and chocolate to get here. All things I've either quit or cut down, so let's hope this stays a once every two year tradition.

... needed help. As it was, I managed to breathe it out with help from a calf tensing trick I was taught years back. Unfortunately I'm having issues with the tendons in one of my legs so that really hurts now. Through the traditional overload of emotion that follows such...

There's a weird sadness I feel occasionally in response to things. It doesn't come with anger, it's just pure sadness, and it takes away the energy needed to explain what made you sad and why it did.

Two years clean today. Thank you #RecoveryPosse - you make this journey easier.

I am a puppet with #bipolar. Also I am two years #clean and #sober today, which is madness and amazing.
I'm going to make videos soon talking about both of those things.

6th day of cold turkey from nicotine. Proper withdrawals today, took a few hours curled up in bed with cold sweats and shivers. Having quit most things there are to quit by this point, I stand by tobacco being one of the hardest things to kick. This fucking sucks. #recoveryposse

@_denisesalcedo Fav wrestler, Funaki, fave movie, Princess Bride, and for the sake of maintaining anonymity (this is an addiction recovery account) let's say I'm from Europe. Big fan, you're a breath of fresh air for the wrestling world.
