You are too kind. That post was really difficult to write. I was just kinda pouring my mind out and sometimes I go off the rails. It’s great to hear that it all kinda stitched together in a way that’s useful.
I find it challenging, to be concise, when sharing deeply emotional subjects. I’m always trying to give you guys the cliff’s notes version.
In any case, it really keeps me going, when I hear that someone might get some use out of my story. It makes me happy to feel like I’m being of service.
Bec, it’s good to know that others have the occasional down day, and it’s alright if I do, too. I’m not getting enough sleep is a big part of it for me. And this morning is a “fresh new day”. Thanks for those words, they lifted me a little!
Morning!
Just checking in. Having a bit of a hard time the last couple days. Not sure why. I downloaded the In the Rooms app so that I can participate in meetings. Will give that a try tmrw. Right now I’m off to work and then home to have a clean and sober night Hope everyone is doing well.
Good morning… There are certain things that I truly enjoy being sober. One of those things is coffee. When I’m drinking, the thought of coffee makes me sick. I can’t even be near it
So, for me, coffee signifies sobriety. Now that I’m in my new place, the experience is amplified by a beautiful view from my balcony. I sat out there for a good 1.5 hours yesterday just enjoying the fresh air and the view with some coffee.
Also a perk to being sober AND feeling better from the Rona is being able to walk and explore my new neighborhood. I went on two walks yesterday. I wish I took some pics from my daytime walk. It’s weird though, I’m from NY and we were always told to not look up or take pictures because we would look like a tourist. So now that’s stuck in my head lol. Anyway, I took pics on my evening walk last night and I’m just so grateful for my life today. I’m keeping it in the day, I know it can change. However, I plan on getting out and exploring again today. Although I’m completely alone here and have been for two months of quarantine, I don’t feel lonely. That’s a good thing.
Gorgeous photos! It’s amazing how the simple things of sobriety can mean so much… like coffee and walks outside. I’m new in recovery and your post is so inspiring to me. I want to be able to get to where you are in sobriety
Hope everyone is doing well.
