Checking in daily to maintain focus #10

Hey Josh, it’s early here and having my first coffee, I wanted to say I’m thinking of you and sending :gift_heart:.
I can relate to the loneliness. You’re a big part of this group. I hope to see you here still.

11.51 days. Feeling suffocated and stressed. Desire to drink is strong, but having my 14 year old with me is forcing me to behave. Not a whole lot to say, lots going on, but just whatever.

Hang in there and I know what you mean. I power drink when I do drink and it always leads to black out. I end up a mean asshole before the blackout occurs. The later days get tough since the romanticizing creeps in and starts messing with you. Hang in there and keep trying!!!

The beach looks amazing!!! Make sure you enjoy every minute of it before heading back to the meat grinder the rest of the world is experiencing.

Day 71.32

Rode the bike last night before the rain starts today.

Starbucks is still open, but the City votes today to close all non-essential businesses.
May be without fresh coffee by Thursday :frowning:.

We have some work work to do this evening, so I will be on with some other folks tonight.
Good to have the social interaction on the phone.

Everyone have a great and sober day!!
And stay safe and virus free!!

Good morning. Day 57. Definitely getting back to normal here. After seeing some people’s milestones, I see alot of ppl actually felt the same way in that 50 something days. so was a lil bit of relief that was just another part of sobering. Weather hasn’t been nice lately so I haven’t been able to get out on the mountain bike in like 4 or 5 days. Huh I had so much more that I wanted to say, but kind of forgot as I’m typing this out lol. I think part of me during this funk these last couple of days, was will I ever be able to moderate alcohol. And honestly I don’t even want to try to find out, my mind was thinking about it. But, now that I’m coming back into my clear concious, I don’t think I ever want to find out. I can’t think of anytime that I’ve tried " to moderate" it worked. And I don’t think as I get further into sobriety I ever want to test that theory either, alcohol literally strips are will power a lil each time we have a drink. I think in the future even once I fully heal if I ever try to moderate, it will slowly start doing the same thing it’s done to me now. I just have to keep remembering that there is gonna be bad days. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present. I kind of babbled on there, but that’s how I’m feeling today any way lol. Have a good sober Tuesday all
