Checking in daily to help maintain focus #7


Checking in. Got to finish work early today.
Sun is beaming hot and beach seems the only solution.
Was able to surprise my mother this morning with brunch… French toast with cinnamon, maple syrup and bacon. She is 25+ years clean and in the fellowship.
Cycle breaker and deserves to be treated like a queen after the shit I put her through :laughing:
Enjoy your weekend all

Day 460. Made it through the week. Feeling lonely today though. I’m also anticipating tomorrow to be challenging emotionally overall. I’ll be facing several different anxieties/fears of mine over the course of the day, and doing a few things besides that I know will stir up feelings. I’d rather stay home and do nothing, but it’s part of my new approach of facing (at least some) fears head-on to make them lose their power, and trying new things and seizing opportunities to try and possibly fail, instead of always shrink back, wonder what could have been, and regret inaction.

All I can do about it today though is get a good sleep.

My jobs are regularly on my daily list of things to be grateful for…a few people were recently fired at one of my jobs, definitely makes me uneasy.

Happy to hear that Nate! Another thing to be grateful for, access to modern health care.

Hope you feel better soon! I broke a bone in my foot the other day, luckily no surgery or cast.

Day 509 :coffee:
Went to the concert yesterday!! :confetti_ball:


It was beautiful, creative and weird all in one! Just my “thing” loved it!
Saw a lot of booze, but had no temptation at all!


Have an oppointment at the hairdresser at 8! It seems like a good time when I made that appointment, now it doesn’t :joy: A bit too early!
Have a great saturday TS people! :heart:

Day 221! Working today. I’ve started to enjoy that more and more. It gives me an “excuse” to not have plans for Friday.

day 98 alcohol day 58 weed and tobacco. I’m already far to happy everyday to think it possible to start feeling that 100 day buzz and 2 months off weed. You may not here from me again in a couple of days, I could well just explode.

Day 67, since im familair with the program (AA) a half year ago , i never reach the 90 days…
Somehow this number of abstitent is hard for me to get…
I really want to go out an party, but i know deep down i would relapse…
I feel happy to be sober, but i also feel a void in me…sometimes its so f*cking boring, like im shackled…
Anyway i stick with the winners…excuse my language, but i need to get this of my chest
