Checking in Daily to Maintain Focus #12

Sounds rough, ive been working 12ā€™s lately so not drinking is kind of easy when working. I have 4 days off coming up which will be a challenge. I plan on fishing and working out most days. Should probably do some recovery reading too, some kinda work or Iā€™ll end up failing like usual.

Word zware operatie, daā€™s al duidelijk. Hele buik moet wĆ©Ć©r open en ik ben doodsbang. Ptss, ziekenhuis stress en ervaring van eerder draaien non stop in mn hoofd maar ik ben en blijf een vechter en strijder. Vallen is de eerste stap naar opstaan, alleen was dit even heel plotseling terwijl het juist zo goed ging en ik al heel veel heb verwerkt voelt dit als 8 stappen terug en weer een vieze revalidatie. Maar wat er ook gebeurdā€¦ iā€™ll be back siz! Trusten

Just checking in. Itā€™s been 21 days and feeling good. Tomorrow is cinco de mayo and I know my group of friends will be having tacos and will be making margaritas. I plan on saying no thank you and hopefully I will. I keep feeling like I can do this but there are days I just want to give in to the voices in my head that keep saying itā€™s ok, just have a drink. But I keep reflecting on all the things that happen when one drink is not enough. Wish me luck not to give in to that voice.

Donā€™t even entertain that thought, someone asked me at work today if I was good over the weekend and I replied so far so good, then I suddenly thought why would I say that, why would I tell myself this is not going to last. Youā€™ve got some days off to chill I hope you enjoy it. :muscle::grin:

@Girlinterrupted u got corona? Sorry I think I missed that. Hope the symptoms are mild and u recover asap.

Day 136
Consecutive drinking dreams. I guess triggered by my husband drinking. In the dreams I donā€™t even want to drink, just get pressured and give in. When awake I am much more sure I donā€™t want that. And my husband keeps putting beer in the fridge, chilling it, getting it out, THEN asking ā€œdo u mind?ā€. I mean he doesnā€™t need my permission, but he obviously has every intention of drinking, so why pretend I have some input? Would he NOT drink if I said so, and put it back? I just hate the lip service.

I felt the same as you man, and still do sometimes. Yes definitely helping out others and doing what you can is also very good for youā€™re sobriety, but sometimes I too feel like Iā€™m being very selfish and putting myself before others. Your feelings are not wrong being a lil selfish is definitely ok I think, so that just like this quout says in the end everything we love doesnā€™t have to come last. Have a good day man

Day 38! Way to go @BobIsGone on the job!

I have been so selfish in my early recovery, this time around I have been conciously stepping back and cheering others on instead of solely focusing on myself. Must be growth! @Beardy_McTallman I feel you man!
Happy sober day! Life is good. :sun_with_face:
