Day 216
Just feeling like I’m going through the motions of life each day. There’s junk going on with my 14yo that’s challenging. I’ve had the niggling thoughts about drinking the last week. But I’ve stayed strong. Doing lots of online AA meetings and I’m so grateful for those. I’m also grateful for this forum. I’m not posting as much but reading a lot and I appreciate every single person who shares. It’s so nice to know I’m not alone in this. I’ve made it 7mths and I’m pressing on. Working from home. Need to exercise more. Eat less. The battle to do what I ought to do instead of what I feel like doing rages on. One day I’ll get it together. Probably not today. :blush: Hugs from Texas. :hugs:

Thank you Stella, I appreciate it. I wouldn’t be this far if it wasn’t for all of you guys, I really get caught up in the moment when I have my girls, I can’t just go breath for a minute because they are attached to my legs, Which I love, but yeah lol. my mom really makes me think it’s not normal, what I’m going through and my feelings. I’ve tried telling her to do her research bc all of what I am feeling is normal. I love my mom, but she’s really good at building me up and then tearing me down. And then in return I be harder on myself, and think I’m not normal. I mean not all the blame is on her, bc sometimes I do just do it to myself. But when I have my girls I can’t really reflect on my sobriety and do my healing bc I’m focused right on them. But once then went back with there mother I was able to go for my bike ride and breath and really think about everything and did feel a lil better, and last night I just took my time and did my work out and listened to some meditation which helped. Thank you for always being here:)

That’s right… be in the moment, breathe it in and cherish it for what it is because we’ll never get it back.

Just thought I’d check in too. I hope everyone is well. I keep asking the wife what she wants to do today? I think she’s going to kill me :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:. Only kidding. 3 weeks plus without going out to eat. Three weeks plus wearing gym shorts everyday. Being retired and living in a relatively new town and it’s just the two of us and the pets I’m not only learning to take it one day at a time but even just an hour at a time. Wondering when or if normal will ever happen again. It’s great having a clear head though.

Nice pic @050Nl! Last week you’re getting sunburn and this week you’re wearing a jacket. :joy:
Are you moving around or is the weather changing that much? :crazy_face:

Cristel, you took the words right out of my mouth. I feel this struggle as well.
I was feeling it but could not find the words for it.

Congratulations on 216 days.

Ride on…it feels really good after being cooped in the house all day.
It is also good for the mind to forget about things and turn off for a little while.

Make sure you wear your helmet :rescue_worker_helmet:
