That’s some nice weather. Enjoy it.
I’m doing well, thanks for asking. My husband is still fighting covid and I’m trying to keep up on cleaning to avoid getting it myself while working from home. I want life to get back to normal and I need to get out of the house.
200 days is awesome! I’m so proud of you. I’m coming up on 7 months soon.
I’m blessed i guess the way we dit it here in Holland eventhough other countrys didnt aprove our goverments approach at first. For now i took the week off and gladly i still can work and cook for those in need.
Keep it up siz, must be difficult but you rock !
Thanks Mike for the pick-me-up!!
Just part of the ups-and-downs of recovery. My 90 day milestone probably is affecting me subconsciously. 90 days is when I fucked-up last year. I have to make sure that does not happen again.
I will probably walk for a few days until I have my legs back again.
Absolutely man, I agree but good job and keep it up. Yeah we really need to switch it up sometimes I was going to hard on the bike and after I took a couple day I went from 22 miles to 31. Breaks seriously help, do a lil body work out or like u said even walking. The tops of my legs were so sore I couldn’t go anymore lol but I also think sometimes that if I take a break I’ll lose my gains which isn’t true, we have to let those muscles heal so that the next time we can push them further
10 days sober. feeling pretty good right now. hard time for me is at night… but I’m pretty sure I’ll make it through to 11. it is hard to believe it has been only 10 days when it feels like I’ve been trying not to have a drink for a year.
A few hours until day 117, but wanted to share I survived my first social evening around alcohol. It was interesting. At first there was a definite pang to serve alcohol to others but not to myself. I felt left out, almost punished. I only want to get a buzz with everyone, not hammered, I thought. But if I got a buzz, the wanting to get hammered would follow. So I hung my head and bore it. Then as the evening went on, the fact I wasn’t drinking seemed to fade away. I could join in the conversation, laugh, be silly. It was great! Then finally as particularly my husband got more tipsy, he got more and more irritating. The voice a bit too loud, the gestures a bit too exaggerated, the repetition… they were so cringy. And that was the level of drunkeness I was coveting in the beginning. I was happy to have avoided that, tho he was far from drunk-drunk.
Ohh dear Poul, im sorry to hear you are back on day 0. But mate we all know you can do this. So add some good and healthy days to get you back on track . We are here for you, so you just reach out and do write if you need someone to talk to
I’ve just got home and you have hit the nail on the head, I did so well before bc I wanted to stop but now all my brains saying is that I must stop. it’s not enough. I wish I could explain my work environment it all comes from that, intense is an understatement. The problem is I’m not stupid I’m not drinking bc of my surroundings I’m drinking bc I’m an alcoholic with an excuse. I’m literally waiting for that switch to flip its just taking its time.
Start of day three without alcohol.
Thank you all for the support and this forum, it helps to read what other people have and are going thru. I feel like I’m not alone with this wonderful resource.
Checking in day 88. Todays been good. Woke up early yet checking in late☺ Some nice conversations this a.m. admist readings, and doing dishes, making some delicious french toast with a side of bannanas and strawberries and of course coffee(plural) this may get a tad long winded as I was inspired this morning and wrote a prayer of the top of my head that I am going to share now:
That was Deeelicious😃 just read the devotional…nailed it😃 Thank you for that I feel inspired.
Jesus died for our sins the least I can do is honour that by cleansing mine. Help others to do the same and Love him unconditionaly. If I just sit and breathe and be still as a wise women advised he will help me succed and in so doing I pray. I pray for the broken and sick. The rich and poor. The orpahn and the widowed. Most of all I pray for peace for me you and all Gods creatures. Amen
Bike to the laundromat now and back and if it’s open the roomates and I are going cab back there. Have a fun filled day everyone.&
