Thanks for the reminder yesterday @Conor689908 —— I set 2 alarms for myself

That sounds really nice. I enjoy the meditation aspect of my yoga practice very much. I also do guided meditations at night. It is wonderful that you have a local Buddhist center to engage with. And congrats on digging deep and going, I know how hard it can be to put yourself out there.

There is some fantastic looking numbers popping up in here, it’s really inspiring to see. Checking in on end of day 172 the 180 /6 month mark is so close…we’re charging on with this my sober twins @ThajokerNL and @Jane.c and @SobahCobra79. Good night all x thanks for being here

Thanks . Its been a while since I’ve done anything like that and it felt really good. I am fortunate to have the centre by me, its a five minute walk from my house so perfect. I really want to make the most of it. Id like to try yoga aswell at some point but one step at a time.

ThajokerNL · January 30, 2020, 10:05pm

There you are!!! Can’t wait.

Blondie1x · January 30, 2020, 10:06pm

I know, me too

@CapriciousCapricorn@ Yes, the cycle has a major effect, pms time I get very negative, like I am terrible at my job, everyone hates me, etc, and often drink, and at the end of my period get all ‘lets party’ and want to drink. Actually the anti-depressants I am on now as a side-effect produce a chemical produced during breast-feeding, and I am sure that is a big reason I am doing so well this time.

Thank you Conor! The numbers thing just makes me happy. Definitely would have missed those two though, if you hadn’t prompted me

Misokatsu · January 30, 2020, 10:15pm

Always great to do something new. People often talk about meditation on here. I have gone so far as to print a beginner’s guide. Maybe will try next week.

SassyRocks · January 30, 2020, 10:15pm

That is great it is so close…and you get a little walk in as well.

C_8 · January 30, 2020, 10:16pm

Why not?

Congrats by the way!

There is a man who often practices next to me in yin class and yoga nidra as well, he often falls asleep and snores lightly. I envy anyone’s ability to fall asleep so effortlessly.

Hailstrom · January 30, 2020, 10:24pm

Absolutely. It was the various discussions here that led me to try it really. I tried a few apps and got nothing from it, i think i need more personal contact/guidance to get something out of it. Time will tell but im going to put the effort in. A beginners guide sounds like a great place to start, hope you see some positive results with it

Misokatsu · January 30, 2020, 10:26pm

So today is my ‘date’ to Costco😂. And have to go get new mobile phone and contract😭. If that doesn’t drive me to drink, then I may have cracked this sobriety thing.

SassyRocks · January 30, 2020, 10:33pm

It’s nice to be able to practice at home. When you get to a studio it can be intimidating, but also fulfilling practicing with others…nice energy.

C_8 · January 30, 2020, 10:39pm

Thank you!!!
Love your posts by the way
