I get this, my brain can be a really inhospitable mine field sometimes. I even know where the mines are and I still think it would be different if I stepped on another one. The best way for me to get out of myself is to focus on helping someone somehow, some way. How can I help my wife with her needs, how can I help my son, how is that person I talked to at my meeting last week?. Iām struggling, I bet thereās something I can do to help that relative or friend whoās probably struggling too. Itās not an 11 step program. The 12th is the most imortant but Iāll admit these times do make it more of a challenge to help others. Maybe get on that blog and write about your strategy for when your gas tank is empty at the 11th mile a 12 mile trail run?

Day 23 and Iām very tempted to go downstairs and have a drink. Iām feeling very anxious and would like to blow some steam with a glass of wine or gin. My mind is questioning as to why I need to quit? I donāt black out, get drunk or anything so y not have a glass. It all doesnāt make sense right now

My wife can hear me doing nothing from a quarter mile. All my meme scrolling must now be done while taking out the trash.

Day 36,
Did some core exercise followed by vinyasa flow yoga and added a bonus meditation session at the end on love, acceptance, kindness and compassion. Feeling refreshed.
Happy birthday @Conor689908 May this year treat you better than all others before it.

At some point you decided to make a commitment to yourself so at that moment you obviously knew you had a problem of some description if you drink now that problem will resurface. Now your just looking at the positives in a back to front way, I donāt black out or I donāt get drunk, well if you donāt get drunk then donāt drink and you wonāt black out if your sober either. Iām just curious but if you havenāt got a drink problem why did you stop.?
How about make 24 hours a goal itās a lot more achievable and the mental rewards are more often, everyday you can go to bed and say āWell done me goal reachedā

Is there one area in particular that is causing you to struggle? I find it helpful to de-construct the problem into bite sized manageable piecesā¦

You can and you will find balance. Seriously, dump away here. Youāre doing everything right, but youāve hit a really rough patch. Punch it in the face, I know you can. This is my cockroach advice

Hahahahaha. I was actually a cook for 10 years, before my current job (which hit the 12 year anniversary today!) The kitchen is a favorite spot for me.
