Checking in daily to help maintain focus #7

Dear diary, day 32, the food is cold.

I went out to eat last night some ramen. Had a special for beer, I saw everyone enjoying a cold one and was kinda jelly about it.

Day 33.

The end of a really rough work week. Everyone at work when leaving today was like go have a drink- you earned it. And tbh, I really wanted one- but I won’t. It’s days like this though that still piss me off!

Checking in. Made it to 5 days and got over the hurdle of my first Friday night sober in many years. Not too bad! In my mum’s house and she doesn’t drink so it feels easy-ish. Returning home tomorrow where there is my husband and alcohol and temptation. So I’m gonna use this check in to reflect and keep myself accountable.

Flakiness - be gone!!

Day 4 sober. Ending the day, tired, very tired as usual. I have had an argument with a coworker who called me late and that infuriated me because I told her to respect my night time. But I know I have to say things in a better way. I hate my bad temper

I am the same. Thinking ‘one day at a time’ makes me worried about fucking up tomorrow. I prefer to think I am just done.

Just in case - trigger warning for sex addicts

Stayed sober during an evening at home alone, didn’t crave at all, minimal easily dismissed intrusive thoughts. Had awful drinking dream tho, dreamt I came home from a night out in my underwear and had lost my bag. I have never done that in real life! (The underwear part, have lost purse before). I think no clothes in dreams is about vulnerability, right? Maybe on one level I was worried about an evening alone. Totally no problem tho, at least this time!

P.S. On day 50

Day 483. My HP keeps bringing to me people that are stuck on that alcoholic merry go round. They go to meetings, but are still drinking most days. They tell me that they reach out to me because I am neither smothering (with telling them what to do) nor judgemental. Their journey is not my journey. I tell them that works for me and leave it at that. I’m not the sobriety police and I can’t make someone get sober. But I can be present for them when they reach out. It is testing on many levels, but I just keep praying to be shown the next right thing.

Hi :nerd_face: I am still here. still sober. Great AA meeting yesterday. Love my homegroup. We decided to try to add 1 more meeting a week so there would be 2 meetings in the city a week. We will discuss next week what the 2nd one will be, 12 and 12 or Big Book Studies.
Mentally I am feeling good. Stronger than before. Been listening to lots of speaker tapes thanks to @aircircle and that is helping.
Still struggling a bit with my husband. I do love him a lot. And he is a great father. Although I do wonder if I had of been sober we would have really hooked up permanently but … I am not making any changes on that end. Just applying 1 day at a time philosophy.
Work sucked ALL week so really happy its saturday. But. Mentally positive. So that feels like a good happy place to be right now.
Good morning everyone. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
