Day 18. Thankful for my sobriety!

Working on letting go of concerns that I cannot fix by my own hands and focusing on actionable items.

I’ve got to keep my side of the street clean only and not try to pick up litter in the entire city, so to speak.

Not much planned today workwise so will take time for needed chores & some self-care. Already had breakfast and two cups of coffee. Now for my daily medicine, a bit of coloring, and listening to Joe Rogan Experience podcast about UAP (UFOs really).

@Here.I.am don’t even get me started on my house… It’s shameful. But I’m fighting one battle at a time here. The mess has been there a while, it can stay a little bit longer. I’ve gained 20 lbs in the last year though so this sugar situation has to stop.

Hey @Jane.c
Sorry you’re going through that. It’s a bummer, I know.
The other day a co-worker x mine said to me: “Wow, I bet you’d be a lot of fun if you were still drinking.” :rage:

Instead of being miffed, let’s try to turn that disappointment into relief!
Those people served their purpose in our drinking life, but now, they don’t have a role. If they can’t accept our sobriety, then we just let them go. From now on, the space they occupied will be filled with people who love that you’re sober, and want you to stay that way. I don’t know where you live but I’m pretty sure there’s are a lot of people that would rather hangout with a sober you that a drunk.

I know it’s irritating when they say stupid stuff like:
“I can’t believe it got that bad for you.” It sticks that we have to endure that sometimes but it shows us who belongs in our lives and who doesn’t.

Day one back on the wagon. Got a date night with the missus on Saturday. Just focused on making it through the week and weekend. I need to call the smarts ppl. It looked like there was a thursday night meeting that might work for me. Usually thursday or friday nights are the toughest. When it gets out of control is carries into saturday morning. Ugg dont want to think about it…

I hear about how much fun I ‘used’ to be all the time. It makes me sad, cuz they have no idea the anguish my brain was in…even as I try to help them understand. Alcohol definitely took away my self conscious ness …I would do anything when drinking and did…While it may have appeared ‘fun’ to them, I was dying inside and suicidal.

Today I’m grateful for:

  1. Open lines of communication and the ability to talk through painful situations. We can’t fix everything but we can heal ourselves a little bit at a time.
  2. My sober forum family and the closeness we share… From around the world.
  3. Memory recall skills. I can’t believe how much easier multi-tasking is now.
  4. Silent Uber driver’s, particularly the ones who know how to feather the accelerator,instead of tapping it.
  5. I get to work with my sober godfather everyday this week.
  6. I get to go to my IOP today.
  7. I have a boss that supports my recovery.
  8. Craft services
  9. I get to feel and think at the fullest of my ability today.
  10. I am comfortable in my own skin right now.
  11. I’m excited about what the day may bring.
  12. I can honestly surrender all outcomes to my HP.

Morning! My day has been off the rails already. Here’s to a sober Monday!

Same here and, toward the end, I was much more willing to show it and much less fun about it.
I’m starting to see that I’ve been suicidal for the better part of 20 years. Or, at the very least, reckless and ambivalent about whether I live or die.
That’s why, if someone is disappointed or uncomfortable with my sobriety, they can fuck right off. I’m happy to see them go.
