Checking in daily to maintain focus #11

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:

Hope all goes well…

Checking in! I’m here! Woke up feeling great. No hangover is my favorite feeling. Noticed insomnia last night. Obsessed over drinking but went to a virtual AA mtg which really helped.

The sleep issues get better in time. It took several months for me to sleep mostly normal again. Your brain is working hard to heal! Stay the course.

Day 230.
Work from home again. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be allowed to do that since Texas has decided things are going to start opening back up, in phases, on Friday. I’ve liked being able to work from home. My mood is better here than in the office! But I’m thankful to still have a job & the same pay. I’m also thankful that I’m sober and healthy. My AA home group is having a meeting tomorrow to vote if we open back up on Friday. Should be an interesting virtual meeting with people trying to vote. I expect some intense discussions. Hopefully everyone will remain civil. Have a great Tuesday everyone!

I have two places to listen to my records in my new place. This is the one for when I am working. I have made a rule for myself for the time being, no sad music or anything with romantic memories tied to it. It has helped.

I haven’t listened to this one in a few years. I forgot what a delight it is. Björk made this jazz trio album in the early 90s, after leaving The Sugarcubes but prior to her first solo release. There’s something almost Christmas-y to it. Her voice is one of my favorites, and it’s so well-suited for jazz. Just unbelievably pleasant. She sings almost all of it in her native Icelandic, so I don’t understand a lick of it…but then again, I don’t have to.

Fyi, that jug is for loose change.

Awesome numbers ( @Conor689908 ) Conor :+1::+1::+1: Thank God that horrible phase has passed. I’m SO pleased that you were able to push through it :heart:

I believe I have over 600 posts in this thread to catch up on :astonished: … hopefully I can get to them over the weekend. I’m just very focused (read ‘anxious’) about work right now, especially as I’m not motivated (at all) !! :cry: :woman_shrugging:t3::kissing_heart:
