Checking in daily to maintain focus #11

anytime. I love my body pump and combat at gym and was doing loads like you do cycling, but ached and found days my body was just tired so do get it. The teacher recommended Pilates and yoga and I loved it, hard in different ways but offset the bashing i have myself in more cardio strenuous classes, be worth a try for you. Loads on YouTube, 10 min stretches would be good for you. They would benefit each other :slight_smile:

I am doing well today, thank you. Wishing you a better day tomorrow and hope your quest for coffee is realised …

Sobriety is good. Emotions arent… a long road ahead and i shouldnt say i need someone to get through it. But i really want to stay with my Luv.

I don’t know the exact context of what you are saying. I do know that emotions are part of life. They are neither good or bad. I did drugs and booze to hide from my emotions. That got me nowhere for 40 years. Part of my clean and sober life is dealing with my emotions, living them, learning to handle them. Also I am single but I could never do this alone. That’s why I am here. We all need connection in some way. If you want to stay with your love work your relationship. Success.

I worked a day shift. Then I had to bike over to the bike shop and wait in line outside to get my road bike back. Then I had to ride home with 2 bikes and an extra set of wheels on my back. So I did ride but a real ride will have to wait till tomorrow.;o)

Oh wow, that sounds like alot of work!
I’m just gonna head out; it’s so hot I’ve been going later in the day. It’s 3:38 pm so still oppressive heat but got to get out of the house!
I changed my rooms around and cleaned…lol
Edit: oppressive not obsessive, lol

Hello. I am new here and cannot believe how supportive you and this app are. Reading and reading and cannot believe how your stories/experiences are slowly killing my cravings.
Thank you all.

Also a big congratulations to my pace setter.

Day 15.71
1st year celebration with my gf tonight.
I’m happy, but kind of afraid too because I feel like I would like to drink with her. We’re going to take a walk then order dinner and watch a video I made as a memory of the past year. I don’t want this night to be a mess because of me drinking. I’m going to tell her we’re not drinking just to make sure I don’t change my mind mid-date night, because I feel the thrill usually preceding the craving.
Have a good evening guys !

I am struggling with isolation as well. I had gotten into a good habit of hiking or biking every day, but then I sprained my ankle about a week ago and have not been able to spend much time outside. The weather is lovely and I’m stuck inside. But I’m not going to drink, because drinking will just make my problem worse.

How did you sprain your ankle?? Man that sucks! Hope it heals quickly! You are right alcohol would def make it worse!

Checking in day 23 on my way to bed though. Not feeling good this time around. And my head spins constantly about “planing a relapse”. You could do it tomorrow early morning, then dont go get your medicine and cancel your walk in the woods with your personal trainer. Then drink and you will be fine. But i do know thats my addict voice talking. So why do i feel like this… hmm… it could be that i feel depressed not feeling happy. My stomach twists and turns due to different path of negative thinking. One moment im fine the next im not. A second reason could be because i was told that i have to begin my school/job again and have been on sickleave since end of february and im affraid to start maybe. A third reason could be because i have such low selfesteem and horribly just looked myself in the mirror and the only thing i could think was “oh my god you are just so ugly, fat and not worth being loved” .

So guess this was me from today and just needed to ventilate before i could sleep. So sorry for this negative post.

Much love to you all from this sad girl :heart: :sleepy:

Night everyone
