Checking in daily to maintain focus #10

Yeah… Maybe see if you can get some more sleep. I know that helps me a lot when I feel angry at the world. Thanks for your honest post. Glad I’m not the only one who wakes up like that sometimes.

Authenticity is the best. Especially when communicating feelings. But if you’re struggling that much you very seriously could need more sleep. Take care of yourself!

I’ve been feeling good, but sleep has been alluding me. Has been tolerable with social distancing and have been grateful enough to be able to work from home. Just have to be careful sending the 3 am work emails. :grimacing:. Got to spend a fair amount of time outside today, and did my “John Deere” therapy, it was so good to see the sun after so many days of gloom.

Hope everyone is staying safe and staying focused.

A major point of this app is support thru the bad times. It would only be doing half its job if only used for members to pat each other on the back.

Sorry u are feeling this way. Hugs. Can u put ur finger on anything that triggered these feelings? Sometimes I’ll feel shitty, but if I think back something is the cause.

I don’t do AA but from my observations of those that do here, isn’t it likely that people engage in that way for so long because they want to rather than have to?

I don’t have anywhere near that type of sobriety time but I rarely have the urge to drink now. I still choose to check in here every day and read through what’s going on. I don’t always contribute and when I do it isn’t always to talk about sobriety. I like the people and the sense of community. And, being here often means that when one of those urges does rear it’s ugly head I feel better equipped to deal with it.

We’ve all got to find our own way but I think community and connection is a big part of it for most people (everyone?) one way or another.

It’s going to be better! I have a sober life now and enjoying it. I never want to go back to the “old” me, the drinking me. Sure life is hard some days, even sober. But it is so much better now then it was. I’m 18 months sober and worked hard to be were I am. Your parents still love you, they always will! You can show them you can be sober. They need time to trust you again. You need time too. To trust yourself again and to built up your sober muscles. Keep going, you are doing great :facepunch:

Day 564 :coffee:
Got a small bonus yesterday because of the hard working I did and doing the last weeks.
Still having 2 co workers sick of corona but manage to keep the shop open.
Spent my bonus already and bought this beautiful “rise” bird pendant.
On my wish list for long :heart:
Decided I earned it!
I rise!
Still sober in this pandemic!
Running my shop and working like crazy.
I’m doing it :facepunch:
So bought this nice (but crazy expensive :pensive:) well deserved pendant. I have to be patient for a while because it has to come from abroad. So I have to pay import duties too. Hope it’s worth all that money :sweat_smile::hugs:


Have a good day TS people :pray:
