Checking in daily to maintain focus #11

@Dolse71 day 8 sober . I feel more confident but it is soon. What is helping me know Is to realize how destroyed and sad I was after my last relapse. How are you doing my friend?

Day thirteen. Camped out in the basement last night with my daughter and it felt amazing to spend the whole time present, in the moment, and wake-up sober.

Day 354. Had a dream last night that I got high. Woke up feeling horrified and yet also disappointed that it wasn’t real. Even though it has almost been a year, sobriety is a choice I have to make every single day. Today I choose to stay clean, be kind to myself and reach out as a way to deal with the anxiety. Alone is never the answer. Hoping I can turn this day around. Sending love to everyone xx

Heading out to work this morning, hoping my anxiety regarding covid19 doesnt get the best of me. Strange dreams again last night. Woke up feeling not that rested but coffee always helps. At least its beautiful outside and the weather is refreshing. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day :heart:

I truly belief it is not a tricky mind game at all. It’s ultimately extremely simple. We either drink or we do not. we either see advantages to drinkng and being under the influence or we do not. We either want to be sober or we do not. It’s mindset friend.
Achieving the right mindset might be tricky and might take time. But once we make the decision and it clicks in our minds it is very very simple. Not necessary easy. it can even be pretty hard at times. But simple it is. This is addiction indeed. No compromise. No negotiation. No grey. Black and white. Do or die. You can do it.

Enjoy some down time friend. Even your brain, or especially your brain maybe, needs some time without all the frantic thinking, explaining, learning, working, rationalizing, analysing, and whatever more you do all day to keep yourself occupied. Enjoy the silence!

Day 278. Hit the plates with some clear coat, so they are now officially done. Crushed a few work projects, about to mow the lawn.

Crushing everything.

Have a strong day!!!

Day 99.
Reminds me of the greatest of all time Wayne Gretzky. Damn I miss having sports to watch.
Morning routine is a little more laid back on a Sunday however did a zoom AA meeting and a video chat with my parents. Had an awesome breakfast. Prayed did my readings. Chatted with family and friends online. Calling my sponsor any minute now. Another zoom at 7 with the NA crowd. Still reconnecting with an old flame burning brighter together. Sending out :v:& :heart:

finally see some sense today, didn’t totally go as simple as expected but I’m going to go to bed sober. I did start to drink but after about 3 mouthfuls I tipped the rest down the loo, that’s a very productive 24 hours for me, rejoined a support group as well. And Peter crouch podcast is back :joy: :joy: :joy:, back stronger.
