Checking in daily to maintain focus #11

Great how you put this!!! this is kinda the only thing I miss in my sobriety… also in this way a great way to see for mee it is not the alcohol or any other crutch we use. Thank you for sharing this. Have a sober day!

Hey, good to see you back! :blush:

I think it’s important for us all to remember that we don’t have to have anything profound to say. (Note to self!)

It’s just about being here and staying connected. That means we feel more able to reach out when things feel harder and able to be a positive face and story for when the going is smooth.

This is such a good way of describing it. I am taking this for my CBT notes!

Good morning. Checking in day 94. Went to bed early to catch up on sleep Lol
Slept good but woke up early too :joy: Done my praying and readings. Having coffee and banana.
I must admit when I posted the screen shot today my addict was screaming and crying screw this I quit another half pic Lol Small things tried to snap the pic on 00 03 03 00 03 03 missed it by a second Lmao more addict thinking again of course you missed by a second as i actually took the pic a second to soon. Irrelevant stuff in a vain attempt at perfectionism. Today I am grateful to sober and happy. Have a blessed day. :v: & :heart: TS :v:& :heart:

Just entered my 5th month, day 153. It seems like yesterday when I stopped and today I feel I have forever to go. I’ll always be an alcoholic, I just won’t drink ever again. I don’t miss it at all.

Day 92.32

Feeling much more myself this morning. I rolled up that funk and threw it in the trash!!!
Had a great bike ride last night. Couldn’t sleep, but found a renewed sense of hope for the future (somewhere; I will take it). :crazy_face: I feel good change coming and am rolling with the feeling. I think the nightly SMART meetings are helping. Busy day now that the work week is in full swing.

Wishing everyone luck and a strong & sober day!!!

Hey man, thanks for checking in. I’m doing good back to myself,day 78 and at work today. I haven’t seen my friends in like a lil over two weeks and I hung out with them on this day so I’m thinking it may have been why I was triggered. I had no motivation yesterday but I sucked it up, did 5 miles on the treadmill, lifted and then did a 12 mile bike ride to get my head clear. Thank you again, I’m glad I can conciously think and get myself to where I need to be, I just hope I can always get myself to a safe place when shit like that happens bc I know it’s not gonna be the last time it happens

I have those same feelings often and sometimes they are justified, sometimes not. But, like you (and many of us!), wanting to please and ‘be liked’ is at the heart of it. Which I am pretty sure leads to learning to love and accept my self more …all of my self…including the less than loveable parts…which extends out to compassion for all…not just the self. As always, a work in progress. Be gentle with yourself. :heart:
