Checking in daily to maintain focus #10

Welcome back @Girlinterrupted, @Butterflymoonwoman proud of you, keep checking in. And congrats to everyone else on the big days. Day 65, yesterday was a good day, went for a 18.22 mile ride, and I’m ready to just start killing this and stepping up my game, so my next ride, I’m going to start for every mile doing ten push ups, and carrying ten pounds on my back. I love doing this stuff and I’m so happy I put down the drugs and alcohol, I never would of conqoured this before or done anything like this. I seriously feel like I’m destined for something great and I can’t wait to meet that Mike. Anyways chillen with my girls today, getting a quick homework out in. Have a badass sober Wednesday everyone

Day 260. Same ol same ol. Pricing out the various specialty bars I want for my home gym, as I think I may just drop my membership. I may keep it, though. I like the people there and whatnot.

Some dipshit down the street decided to “DJ” from his front porch and start an impromptu block party this week. Like, apparently it’s just a game to them. I was livid. There’s pictures on Reddit. I’m so glad my city, which is kind of a hot spot, is making the rounds because they just gotta sip their beers and listen to Phish.

Me, to all the idiots on my street partying this week:

Have a strong day!!!

Hang in there Beth and keep fighting. I know it doesn’t seem like it sometimes, but you’re definitely worth it! I hated feeling that way. You’re a survivor though. Sending a big hug your way!

Those are beautiful! Lucky you!! I am a huge fan of flowers. Best job I ever had was my senior year in high school I only had to go to class for half of the day so I got a part time job delivering flowers. Loved how happy it made people to receive flowers. Wish I could send everyone a huge bouquet to lighten everyone’s spirits! Thanks for sharing the picture.

Day 10 tomorrow. I feel great and motivated, started learning Spanish, it’s a nice feeling to have my brain active and trying to figure things out.
Had a bad thought around midnight today that the last time I was trying to get sober, something real bad happened (family tragedy, unconnected to my drinking) and I had a slight anxiety attack of looming disaster. Ugh, braiiiin. Worst things will happen For Sure if you don’t stop for good.
