Checking in on Day 285. Pushed weights this morning, and then hit the trail for a 4.8 mile walk. Windows open, food cooking, music up. Killer day.
Have a strong day!!!

Checking in Fromout the LUMC hospital…no worries though, im in good hands and its yet another abdominal issue … heavy pains during the day left me no choice. Just had an echo and now up to the CT scan.
Hope i dont need major surgery.
What do you fellow members think about pain meds like morfine etc?? Imma not gonna reset my clock over this.
@Mno i rather prefered that beach walk though but next time better. I was hurting like hell during the day so i wouldnt have made it either bro
Be well and safe everyone

Hou je haaks Joost @050Nl . Success and strength friend. If opiods are prescribed to you and it helps against the pain I’d say take it. Just be sure to quit as soon as you don’t need it no more as a pain killer. Listen to your body and your mind. Take care.

Ik weet natuurlijk niet of je in het verleden problemen met opiaatmisbruik hebt gehad.
Oh no @050Nl!! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Please keep us posted. Don’t hesitate to take what’s prescribed to ease that pain. It’s not a reset when ordered by a doctor in my opinion.

I’m tickety boo, seems like it’s my time to shine so I’m enjoying it while it lasts. If I stay this happy for the rest of my life I’m going to be a very annoying freak of nature. Stay strong.

Hope everyone is well and hanging in there. Just checking in with you guys. Life is a whole lot better then it use to be. I thank God that He lead me to Alcoholics Anonymous because I didn’t know how to stay sober. On my own will power I couldn’t even make it one day without drinking and shooting up. Last week was 9 months sober and clean for me and even with this covid stuff going on I can have days filled with gratitude and appreciation and a good attitude towards the way things are. Life will never be unicorns and butterflies and it don’t have to be because today is way better compared to where i was a little over 9 months ago. Thank you to all of you who have been consistent in this support group.

Congratulations! So happy to see those numbers going up!
@050Nl Get well soon! 100% not a reset if prescribed pain relief.
@Girlinterrupted No matter how ‘broken’ people (think they) are, they can change and get better to a degree, and will improve quality of life. I know drinking made my eating 10× worse.
@Mno That is such a crappy thing for someone to say. But u are not responsible for fulfilling what others want u to be, u are only responsible for fulfilling what u want to be.

Day 135
Trying hard on the food side atm. Am trying to focus on eating healthily, regularly, not binging, but also not feeling guilty for eating actual regular meals. Also keeping up with c25k, can run a whole 5 mins now . But it is hard because I do want to lose weight to get back to a healthy bmi, and to do that I have to restrict food, which either makes me binge or starve. The balance is hard to find. But even attempting to get on top of this would be impossible while drinking.

Day 546. I feel like I’m just juggling my day instead of living it. Writing down lists has helped me with that before, though, so I think it’s time to pick that up again. I don’t even typically ever read any of my lists after I write them down. It just lets my brain “let go” of the thoughts rattling around, so that they’re not constantly draining my energy. Back into Monday tomorrow… brace!

- Had a great ride yesterday, now it’s back to work and the new business as usual. As a RN I have two trainee nurses I’m mentoring. One of 'm is giving me a headache. Need to confront him with some truth today. I can handle it. Being sober and clean instead of hungover makes it easier to do. Have a good day all. Clean and sober. Love from the beach where the kids are allowed to play together again, in the waves and on the trampolines. Progress.
