Checking in daily to maintain focus #10

Checking in on day 111. I’ve been waiting for this for a while because it’s fun having all the same number :joy:! Anyway, today went okay, but not super great, so I’m hoping tomorrow turns it around.

Same. Right before my cycle is when I seem to lose control the most and try to self-medicate.

  1. Just want to say to everybody that might be out there feeling ashamed or guilty or whatever for relapsing and not posting because of that: please please please post and please keep coming back here. It’s what his place is here for. Of course it’d be even better if we all post before using our DOC and be talked out of it here, but I know that’s not the way it goes always. So keep coming back, keep trying, keep on keeping on. We all started with a day one and we all (for as far as I know) needed more than once to make it work. And we’re never 100% safe because we are all addicts. It’s a thin line for us all. And we’re in this together. Now more than ever. @Clarity @Girlinterrupted @Butterflymoonwoman @Knox and @everybody out there keep fighting the good fight! Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam and the Hill Country where I was supposed to be now like I was three years ago today. Life happens.

Thank you for posting this. I’m back here again on day 3 after numerous attempts to stop drinking and have felt the shame of returning here and admitting I am on day one again. Thank you for your kind post.

12.51 days. Honestly low on the sober motivation scale.

My oldest starts moving out today, it’s good and bad as I have one less thing to hold me accountable. If she so much as sees a drink in my hand, she calls my ex to pick up my other daughter. Aside from that, I’m always walking on eggshells. I never know what to do it say because everything seems to set her off. We get along great if I’m very, very careful about what I say. But I always screw something up. It’s a lot of stress and pressure. However, she’s already talking about coming over to visit me a lot. I know she loves me, but she’s just pretty stereotypical for her age.

Work right now is crazy which is great. I have a lot to do for a zoom meeting with my business attorney tomorrow. I’ve been under motivated there as well. She’s a longtime dear friend and has been lovely helping me get on track with everything. However, I’ve had my homework from her since Monday and I just can’t seem to get myself together. Thinking a lot about drinking.

What’s up everyone, day 58. Hanging in there like I think we all are. My funk came back yesterday, can’t explain it other then I feel out of it that’s all. I was able to get out on the mountain bike, my buddy came with me for a lil ride. Of course he had to bring some fireball shots with him, and literally just throws the shots on the ground after. He lives with my friend who said I can’t lift anymore. I stopped up quick just to say hi, I asked bc they have a storm door to the basement where there would be no contact, if I used the door if I could come lift. His wife just looked at me in this evil look, and said will see. I even said bc they got this stuff for free and dont use it. Would you guys sell it to me then? Got no answer, I asked plz bc this is what’s keeping me sane rite now, there is clearly some resentment or something from his wife toward me, I’m not sure. I hung while keep distance bc we were outside, and 3 other of my friends came over to color Easter eggs with them. So I can’t come lift real quick, but y’all are gonna gather to color fucking Easter eggs? Makes fucking perfect sense.
I can’t sleep again. I didn’t fall asleep till 130 and had to be up for 5, my mom and step dad are drinking alot right now, my step dad gets hammered when he drinks and is a slob. Grateful for them, but completely hipocrits for saying I can’t drink but they are sitting there doing what I use to do. Idk what to else to say, everything is just a mess and I feel trapped like crazy. I can’t just up and leave, if I try to express anything I get shut down. I can certainly tell god got me sober for a reason, I know he did. I really never was religious, but I pray every night to him and thank him for getting and keeping me sober. Yeah idk have a good day

Hang in there. Sorry about the awkward lifting situation, that sucks. I give you a lot of credit staying strong in regards to your mom and stepdad. That would for sure send me over the top. However, your motivation to stay sober seems strong, I commend you. I’m actually in awe!
