Checking in daily to help maintain focus #7

  1. Some problems with friends and relationships. Which will work out. Or maybe not. I am growing and developing myself but it is slow and tedious. The main gain right now is that I don’t think that boozing or drugging would help. Instead I am seriously looking for ways to do better. And seriously trying to get other peoples help in bettering myself too. So I’ll soldier along. One day at a time. Have a good day all. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.

Checking in at 129.51 days sober and 29.46 days ED free.

Long tiring day yesterday, but not stressful :slightly_smiling_face:
I’m mentoring my 1st husband’s new wife. She just started her own business around a year ago, and I’m helping her out. We’ve become quite close and as strange as our relationship may seem, I’m very grateful for her friendship.

I have the gym on my calendar M-F and at first I will have to force myself, due to massive anxiety. As cliche as it sounds, I start back Monday and going forward I will tweak my work schedule accordingly. I really would like to get back into this being a big part of my life. I don’t know how I did it so hungover all the time, so sober will be super interesting. My newest broker had a really bad hangover on Monday, and I was like sweat it out in the gym dude, trust me :joy: The thought for my old ass makes me barf.

Excited for the weekend because I’m exhausted. However, I’m nervous too because I will be very lonely and likely depressed. I’ll read my book. Have a great day everyone.

Day 64. I am going out to a dinner that I’m nervous about. My partner doesn’t drink so it’s not like everybody will be drinking, but some will, and feeling socially anxious is a big trigger. But I want to be clear headed tomorrow.

Making a conscious effort to do “free” fun things with my boyfriend in 2020. Got lucky enough to win free tickets to see one of my long time fav dudes, Colbert. It was fucking awesome! Decided last night we are going to move to NYC for a year once I finish my degree :hugs:

One drop of alcohol for me is too much. Then infinity is not enough.

You hit the nail on the head. I have the same issue. To Id voice in your head (mine is a screeching monkey) is constantly picking to get in. I’ve lapsed and relapsed too many times to count, but each time I learn from it. The key for me is the first drink. If I have that one drink I will wake up the next morning in my clothes with no idea what went on the night before. Smart sessions give you tools to combat this ( on top of my own toolbox). Get up, dust yourself off and get back at it (using what you have learned). Good luck my friend!!!

Sober Twins activate, form of…?

Ok twins it is Day 11 & Friday. I know I know nothing special about it. However, magic Monday is right around the corner!!! Sooooo exciting. What is magic Monday you ask? It is two full weeks (14 days) sober!!!

Because magic Monday is coming, no slipping this weekend!!!’ When you are at the Super Bowl party, just remember magic Monday. You don’t want to break the good voodoo by having even a sip. :drop_of_blood::prayer_beads::crystal_ball::prayer_beads::drop_of_blood:

Stay strong my friends!!!:muscle:

Hi. Try not to get too anxious. Have a plan about what you’re going to have instead to drink. Maybe go online and look at the menu for the place and see what there is that might be for you to eat, maybe a desert? I went out last Saturday for my birthday and once I was there and put all my pre planning in place it left my mind that I might struggle. I hope you have a lovely dinner xx
