morning, bit of a nightmare last night, everytime I try and get sober I dream the mafia are going to kill me, odd, it’s OK though I hid in a chest freezer for 6 months until things cooled down. Find some peace in your day and be strong.

  1. Was supposed to have a small bbq with my sister in her allotment/garden. Turned out she just found had she was running a fever again after been tested positive over a month ago, being sick for 3 weeks and been better and working for a week. So we stayed 15ft apart, talked for 10 minutes and I left again. Bah.
    After I got home I immediately felt sick, sore throat, elevated temperature. Crazy how the body can react. This morning my temp is back to normal. My throat less soar. On we go. Sober and clean. @ifs Glad to see you checking in James. Hope you’re OK. @Fargesia_murielae Have a good trip and safe trip home friend. @Bomdhil Yes. @SoberWalker Pretty pic. Success with your foot :sunglasses: @Dolse71 Good to se you, better to see you sober Paul. Keep going. @everybody. Have a good day all. Love from my sister’s garden.

Hi @Beardy_McTallman totally get that, I am used to either massive highs followed by extreme lows, I found it hard to deal with a standard day, one of the things I took from my relapse, I got bored because nothing was happening, I was almost missing the drama (madness). Combatting it now by ensuring I fill my day with positive activities; reading and learning, exercise etc. As these things I could not do properly when I was not sober. The important thing is working on liking ourselves again, I always disliked me, but realise by doing small, good things will hopefully change my outlook. So please have a good normal day :slight_smile:

gosh being on the boat through this must be so strange. Good, you on way home albeit long journey. Yes, lots of decisions have not made sense whatsoever. Very sad about the crewmember who lost his sister :cry: must be so heartbreaking that he could not be there.
Safe homeward bound journey…

Day 15

@Mno take care hope your sister is ok. What a beautiful garden she has
@CapriciousCapricorn congratulations on 4 months :bouquet:

@zzz you back and seemed to have learnings which are instrumental
@Bomdhil good you here :fist_left:
@GVLNative have an easy day, a very good quote from your meeting!
@ifs great days hope you ok…

Raining in the UK, just walked the dog, feeling calm about the interview later, not doing too much preparation today, going to do my ritual of cold water, meditation etc to set me up mentally.

Stay strong all :four_leaf_clover: :100:

that is an early wake-up Jane no wonder you are exhausted. I was drinking 15 large mugs of coffee to replace alcohol but knew it was too much, but struggled to find a decent replacement and still am. But I have cut out my “take to bed” coffee and all the ones in between lunch and dinner and do find I am having a better sleep. But do need the two or 3 min to kick start morning. I know you have probably tried all the normal stuff meditation etc. Is the new job causing the anxiety?
On a positive that bouquet is stunning, impressed you kept the vase upright and I can see your van :slight_smile:
Take care… :pray:

lol!, I have tipped many a vase over!

Totally get the isolation thing, I have friend really suffering as she lives on her own and it has got to her. Anniversary’s are always difficult and naturally our moods swing. You will get through it…

All any of us really have is today.Im glad you are here.

Good morning everyone, day 85. Been sleeping good lately, but lastnight I had a lil trouble and felt restless I’m not sure if anyone else ever does this but I kept playing scenarios in my head that have never even happened, it was weird. Anyway I woke up this morning and did my cold shower and wim Hoff breathing that @Hopeful777 showed me and it really felt good and brought me back. I ordered a nice pair of hiking boots and can’t wait to start biking to some mountains and tearing it up. It’s gonna be a beautiful day, and I’m feeling good happy Tuesday all

Day 101
Prayed and did readings. Enjoying my last coffee and breakfast in this apartment.
In two and a half hours I will be at the treatment center where they will take my phone😢 and place me into isolation to await the results of the covid screening they administer. Thank you TS for all the support, entertainment and shared wisdom.
Sending out :v:&:heart:
