Checking in daily to help maintain focus #7

Well Hazy, time to not listen to the mind chatter.
I know my 14 year old daughter said exactly the same thing to me and apparently had a right go at her mum.
Use that to fuel your determination. I’ve got every faith that you can do this if you just knuckle down.
Keep hanging around on here, stay connected to us. It works as they say, if you work it.
Come on Hazy, you can do it.:metal:

Tonight my husband is planning to go out with his friend, and I also have my purse back (he has taken it from me for weeks at a time, not that that worked), so feels like I am gaining trust again. Hopefully the idea that I COULD drink won’t prey on my mind, and even if it does I have been getting better at dismissing the update. Also after binge eating lots when trying to quit at the beginning, my trousers got SUPER skin tight, but now finally again have a bit of bagginess around the bum!

Thank you @anon35096624. :grinning:

@Mtrav0040. Congrats on making it to 30 days.

@jjcarson92. One week is good. Congrats. I heard Tinder can be very triggering. I’ve never been on it. It’s against my boundaries. But I’ve been tempted to get on it at times. What stops me is the fear that I’ll get discovered by people that I know from church. :church:

140 Days. I haven’t checked in lately, life is throwing me some curve balls. My car broke down on the way home from work, my dog isn’t feeling well (something’s wrong with his eye), work’s been crazy busy, my daughter is keeping me up late at night with her mental challenges. I could go on and on. The plus side is, I’m still clean and sober and that’s all that really matters in the end. Everything else will eventually come together.

Thank you! I did email a lady, and she said:

“Hi Beth,

No, you do not need to be a member of Choices to attend. I’ve heard it’s great!

Kindest regards,

Lisa”

So I don’t know. I still haven’t heard from the dude from the group. But my message is probably sitting in his message requests a we are not Facebook friends. A good sober friend of mine, AA, said he’ll help me with my hippie shit so I’m not so scared the next time :joy: because I’m a “wuss”. Love him lol.

Oh! And I’ll try to check out the online meetings. Might be more my jam.

Yikes, I had a couple of those last year. The week following a binge is just awful. Glad you’re back here now. Take good care of yourself and be kind to yourself.
