Checking in daily to maintain focus #10

Same here. The mental and physical discomfort is a tipping point for sure. I’m hanging around in bed longer this morning…

195 Days. I haven’t checked in lately but I’ve been here reading all these inspiring posts every day. This app has been keeping me strong, knowing I’m not alone.

My husband is going to get tested for covid today. I don’t know how long it will take to get the results. I’m near the epicenter here in the US (NYC). We’ve taken all the precautions and now this shit is really hitting home.

I’m grateful to have a job which comes with the health insurance needed to treat us in the event the test is positive. I’m also grateful for my loving and caring husband and daughter. And a comfy home with food to survive this isolation.

Lastly, I’m grateful for all you wonderful people that have been here for me during these trying times. I couldn’t do it without this app. Thank you all and stay strong.

Claiming my seat, Day 85.

Plan to do the noon AA meeting on Zoom, then go for a bike ride this afternoon. After I think I’ll make a fire in the fire pit in the yard and do some more Step 4 journaling.

Stay strong, TS friends!

Yup, currently burned out. Unfortunately no words of wisdom. Hang in there though because it’s in you. I watch it go back and forth in your posts. Keep yourself in the moment. I do notice you scrutinize your recovery path a lot and I totally get that. You’re hard on yourself and I get that too. Maybe reel it in to today for a bit and enjoy where you are at the moment. Sober. Easier said than done. Hard to express what I’m trying to say, but I think you get it :hugs:

Just hit my first week, alone in Quarantine across from a still-open liquor store! Feeling proud, but not letting my guard down. Hope I can keep it up. I can’t afford drinking anymore on any level. Love to you all.

Great job on a full week sober!! Keep it going.

I guess liquor stores are universally considered essential in our society.

Day 2
Again had some super strange dreams… this time it wasnt about using but about the domestic violence I experienced many years ago. I dont know where all this stuff is coming from lol Anyway, I’m in a decent mood this morning. Might try to get an at home workout in. Try and start eating healthier bcuz this isolation period has me opening the fridge door even when I’m not hungry lol. And most of all, I’m going to be focusing on my recovery :slight_smile: hope everyone is having a great day in recovery :heart:

Day 30. Seems pretty significant to get to a month AF. I’m absolutely grateful for so much and feel proud that I made a decision and have stuck with it. For once being stubborn works for me! Whatever it takes. Today I just feel crummy - I slept in late, got some body aches, sore throat and what feels like allergy-based spring crud. No fever. So a slow day it shall be, trying to keep my spirits up.

Today I’m grateful for:

  • sobriety
  • support from my loved ones and the brilliant resource that is TS! I may not have had as much direct support as others, but there has been a lot of vicarious support and direct benefit, I can assure you.
  • the ability to rest and a comfy bed

Edited to say “direct benefit” because that’s the real truth :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
