Checking in daily to help maintain focus #7

Awesome! I agree that at least big aware of what you consume is a big step in the right direction. I do but always not consume it lol but at least I know what it is

Another day sober and getting things done. With all this extra energy I can’t stop cleaning the house. Usually I plan or put off when I clean. The counters were dirty grimy. I just cleaned them right then and there. I noticed the toilet was dirty before bed. I just went and cleaned it before bed. Well I had to clean the sink and mirror too. What’s happening to me?
Good :zzz::zzz::zzz: y’all.
Made it another day.
:pray::heart:

Just finished day 19… tomorrow is my birthday and I will be spending it with people that care about me (and my cats) so that’s a good thing. I have continued to lose weight from the lack of calories from alcohol. There are still 12 days until payday and I still have plenty of money in my account, despite having been out to eat 6-8 times this month (not at all normal for me). I am beginning to think I underestimated my “daily spend” because I was in denial about it. I am hopeful that I can put this newfound money to good use—mainly paying off debt—instead of wasting it on frivolities.

Checking in. It’s a good day to be sober. MLK day in the US, a day for the courage to change what we can change, for the better, both in ourselves and in the world around us.

That is such a sad and instructive story, @Jane.c. I bet many of us can relate to using substances for pain medication and then it gets out of hand. I get flare ups of back pain especially when I’m not doing enough yoga, and I’ve definitely used alcohol to self medicate, with predictably negative results. I just got a little coin to carry around to remind me about this, to help talk to the voice that says “have a drink if it hurts”. My coin says “Pain is necessary, suffering is optional.” I can be separate from my pain. I am sorry about your friend.
