Now this sober train is heading for Day 14!!!
We all have to stay strong through Friday and the weekend since day 14 is on Monday.
Remember there are the Friday and Saturday night threads on here (this one as well).
Went to a great Smart meeting tonight. Everyone was sharing and talking.
It was an open meeting, so there were observers in there. One girl auditing the meeting indicated that she would have more patience with her mother after the meeting. She said she normally makes her mother reach out to her (due to anger at her alcohol addiction). She is going to reach out to her mom since she realized from discussion how hard addiction is.
Another busy workday and into the weekend.
Stay strong everyone!!!
Day 47 is nearly done. I am good. I am still strong. Dealing with a lot of work difficulties, but I’m managing them. Life is life, with the ups and the downs, but my sobriety is more important than any of the noise that surrounds me. I ground myself in that. Have a good night all. Sleep easy when you get there.
Day 50!!! Finally made it, and spent the day just relaxing and playing video games with my friend. All in all a good way to celebrate and now I’m hoping to hit 60 soon!
Day 452. Agh! If I’m feeling like I’m starting to hit my limits, why did I sign up to volunteer on top of that? I wasn’t thinking about the overall balance thing. Oh well… only three hours/week, I can adapt, and I’ll enjoy the work, it’s an organic farm that’s really involved with the local community. Did two groups today and have three tomorrow, including SMART, plus a psychiatrist appointment. I’m ready for a break… which I should get Saturday (well, most of it anyways).
Will what you do on the farm be more hands / physical or nah? I was thinking of hitting up my local greenhouse to see if i could even volunteer to stay busy and get that “head space”. Curious what your experience has been.
I don’t have farm experience yet. They said there’s a variety of things to do. This time of year, in the off-season, there’s a fair amount of maintenance chores, prep for growing season, greenhouse work, etc.
Gotcha. Thanks for sharing at least. It reminded me to ask them if i can work for free haha! Just really need something ‘new’ hands on to do preferrably outside.
74 Days: Today was a decent day and I am perfectly fine with that. My sober routine is becoming just that, routine, which is good and bad. I’m comfortable with not drinking and to be honest I really don’t have cravings. But I find myself getting bored and in my own head a little more than I’d like to be. Work in progress.
Grateful to be sober, happy to be getting back into shape and eating better, need to continue to push myself mentally and spiritually each day. Ego, expectations and phases of depression are still problems for me. Not giving up though, tomorrow can always be a better day.
That means alot. Sometimes (the last few days) were tough somehow. Reading about so much people resetting. Its really something that makes me sad/edgy.
Just one more week for a full 6 months of sobriety of ALL substances. But this felt like a mini party allready. With @Blondie1x and some more folk on here can’t wait to really celebrate
Morning all…just a quick one as I’m heading out to work in a minute. Saw this on my Instagram this morning and I thought I put it here…this is all of us…
