Checking in Daily to Maintain Focus #12

Thank you so much for sharing. :pray::heart:
And for taking the time to respond. And youā€™re right.

I can only take responsibility for my own thougths, words and actions and try to treat people with respect, even if I donā€™t get that in return. Itā€™s about who I choose to be or become as a person. Luckily, Iā€™ve had a lot of good people coming into my life in the last couple of years and Iā€™m very grateful for that. And I hope some day Iā€™ll be able to work things out with my mom, too.
Best of luck to you! :four_leaf_clover:

Thatā€™s awesome man, they look sick. I had to google it. Iā€™m jealous of all you guys with these road bikes, my mountain bike is kicking my ass lol, I can still go just as far and itā€™s a great workout, but I like the competiveness in myself and going for miles and speed and time. Sweet bike tho man, congrats

Yes, it is. Thank you so much :pray::heart:

Sometimes shit just gets exhausting, i gotta get my focus smaller again. Itā€™s hard to hang on to one day at a time mentality in a pandemic lol.

Oh no :cry: Iā€™m really sorry youā€™re struggling. My shakes are starting up. Gonna get some rest.

Here she is in all her glory. Iā€™ve had her for about 10 years, second owner, so thatā€™s pretty cool. I used to ride everywhere, and then just got into this funk. Glad I never sold though!

Nice rig!!! Old school steel is hard to beat; rides like a dream.
You have paniers on there as well to carry stuff in. I like it!!! It appears to be in great shape. You have a couple of lights and are ready to roll!!!

Only thing I would do if you ride some distance is to put another bottle cage on there.

Thanks man. You are correct that I am quiet. My buddy did recommend this forum . He has been Sober for over 2 years. I wonā€™t mention his name but this forum has been a lifesaver for me. Reading others stories reminds me Iā€™m not alone in this. I never thought anyone payed attention to me but you remembering my story was awesome!! Thanks again for support!

Day 5 for me. Had a horrible awful day at work today. I feel like Iā€™m not handling the work stress as well as my coworkers.

I think Iā€™m also still stressed and angry about last Friday drinking episode and upset that I finally realized I cannot win at the ā€œmoderationā€ game and need to remain sober.

Hope my 3 day weekend will do me some good.

For being 35 years old, itā€™s a smooooooooth ride. Panniers were crucial, as I used to ride to work, and one of the bags comes off, so it was also my work/lunch bag.

Definitely need a second bottle cage, once I start getting longer rides in. Currently, backup bottle resides in one of the panniers.
