Checking in for day 28 and I'm feeling good and strong. I will be going away for a week of learning and outdoor activity tomorrow so I won't be able to have any contact as I'll be out in the middle of nowhere. I'll try to make one more post tomorrow morning before I depart otherwise I'll be back on Friday September 14th. I wish you guys well for the next week of recovery. Stay sober and strong.

Hey guys, sorry I didn't post yesterday. Having some faith issues again. Being agnostic it tends to happen every 2-3 months or so.. at least until I decide firmly in what I believe. The upside is that during my time of having a faith crisis, I really can't take my mind off of it, and so the addiction becomes so peripheral that I forget about it completely (not in the sense of being off-guard though - I just stop needing a guard). I need to remember to get back into daily routines once this is over.
I'm really glad to see you guys still posting.. and thanks for the encouragement too, it means a lot. Incidentally, cleantoday, I saw Zurich in the news today. Looks like there's a bit of an uproar over a government ad campaign? (the white and black sheep one, lol)

Checking in - I'm halfway to 40. Have fun on your trip cleantoday. I go through faith issues too Cap - where I'm not always 100% sure of my faith. Even though I would like to be.
Congrats Mountain - on the 30 days - keep it goin'!
Peace of Mind

I've been taking a break to get my mind in the right place. I'm nearly there.. and strangely enough it looks like I'm turning atheist too. I hope that doesn't surprise anyone on this thread too much! It seems like the natural route for me. And I'm not just doing it because I don't "like" religion. In fact, religion has a comforting quality to it.. but I've been reading around the subject a whole lot, and have come to the realization that this is the way for me.
However, finding the desire again to stay off this addiction has been tough. When I believed in God, it was obvious. When I was agnostic, it was slightly less obvious, but the desire was still there. Now, it's notoriously difficult. But I think that's what my recent episode/epiphany was about, and I won't let it go to waste. I again realized what it was that prompted me into action the first time, and I wrote a little depressing paragraph during an extreme state of guilt and irritation at myself. Hopefully I can read that whenever I need a powerful reminder.
End of Day 1..
