You can do this! I think we need to find that desire for sure. I hate that “I have to stop” feeling as opposed to “I want to stop”
How are you hanging in right now? Are you working today? :hugs::paw_prints:

Day 140. Hanging in.

That is so sad about your old friend, @Desire2ChangeToday

Sometimes I catch myself imagining myself as different from people who fall into really serious or fatal addiction patterns, and I remind myself it’s false. In my periods of heavy alcohol abuse, very bad things could have happened. I am extremely lucky and privileged in so many ways. I am lucky to be here today, able to be sober, with the opportunity not to drink today and to work on doing my best, whatever that means for me today. It’s a gift and I’m grateful.

Good morning everyone day 72, did some meditation again last night and it does seem to help. I want to thank all of you for the support, you all keep me in check seriously. So like I think I’ve been a lil bummed bc I wasn’t seeing my friends, but yesterday I saw a snap chat of them hanging out like always sitting in my buddies garage, smacking each other in the face drunk, and all I thought was yeah dude I definitely don’t miss hanging out with these guys. They looked stupid they are 30 years old, and I just really don’t wanna be apart of that anymore so it really helped me reflect on that I’m not missing them at all. My boss is deaming us back to essential to come in a wax floors, it was nice doing one week on and off, it helped me with my healing and focusing on my self. But is what it is, other then that it’s a good day, gonna stay positive life is good. Have a good Weds everyone

Day 86.3

Went out for a bike ride with my friend yesterday evening and felt horrible. He kicked my ass.
Not anything I can put my finger on, but frustrating none the less. This happens from time to time where you feel terrible every time you do it. Makes me want to stop for awhile, but I need to grind it out.

Having that sneaking suspicion that they are choosing who is in an who is out at work. I’ve been around long enough to know the signs. The tell tale sign is when people stop talking to you. It is as if they think they may be selected too just by talking to you.

Struggling as of late mentally. My physical shape is not what it should be (not sure why) and work is a constant source of stress. Hoping for the best since there is not much I can do about either.

Hang in there everyone and keep pressing forward!!!

Hey man, what do you mean he kicked you’re ass? Did he have a lil more stamina? Don’t beat yourself up, breaks are good take one if you need are bodies can only work so hard. It doesn’t matter who does better, what matters is that you’re still out doing it. Not many ppl do what we do or can go as far as you someone wishes they could do as well on the rides as you I’m sure. I have the same feeling at work some times and with friends as well. And you know what ? Fuck them, do you and be happy with yourself. We really forget things don’t happen overnight things are good man keep up the good work

Another day that I actively now decide to stay sober and away from binging. Not much to say. I woke up after 20 mins of sleep with a feverish mind due to my inflammation. it was horror. racing mind, all of the possible problems in my past life and future all at once. had to do breathing exercise for an hour and then when it calmed down I just started reading. Have an amazing novel now finding myself in South Africa before Apartheid. what a book. So I read almost all night until I finally fell asleep. If I make that I make today. Going our in nature for a bit to find weeds to help detox my lymphatic system. and maybe some netles and dandelions to put in my diner. all might help to detox a bit. Have a good day you all.
