Day 296. Trucking right along. Better mood the past few days for sure. Continually looking at ways to expand the home gym, and finding ways to get creative with workouts that call for specialty equipment…
Found a company called SlamClub that donates 5% of every purchase to Mental Health America, so I made sure to snag a shirt from them.
Have a strong day!!!
Day two. Feeling better today!
Looking good bro 
it will take a while before i can sport but you’re a good motivation 
Good to see your week mate, keep it focused for one more day. Well done 
I seriously want all your t-shirts. well done mate .
I’ve been really good about walking, especially now that Ava is here. We explore the city a lot as it’s fun for my little country bumpkin. I always was so against business ownership my whole career. Not sure why, for the love of all that is good and holy, I thought it would be a good idea. 7 years later, and I think I’m unemployable anyway LOL
Being unemployable would mean you just absolutely have to be your own boss right? Keep going Beth. Keep walking. Keep businessing. Keep your sobriety. Life is not easy but is always better without drugs and booze.
Day 48! I did something new today! I woke up early and ran 3 miles first thing!! No more excuses anymore… (since my daughter hasnt been napping I havent had “any time” to excersize.) Anyway during my run I was thinking about my addiction and how I think I am ready to share my story. It didnt happen overnight so I think the story comes in 3 parts … I will sit down and write it if I ever have time. Maybe it could help someone! Or maybe it would help me to get it off my chest. Happy sober day everyone! 
Day 45. Thats like a month and a half. It has gotten more difficult as I have exited the “pink cloud” and find that I am in need of actual recovery work to keep my brain from “mentally relapsing” where I would basically plan out my next drink. That part has been challenging since I have been unsuccessful in finding a sponser in my 24/7 room and was not able to log into any of the local rooms. I won’t be deterred and will keep trying.
Congratulations on 48 days @Clarity. I would be willing to listen to your story. 
Awesome 
sober clean and smoke free just like me!
you were doing so well with the sober and clean and awesome but just like you???
I’ll have to try harder 
“Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change”
Next time you get on your hamster wheel… run the other way!
I wanted to give a on each paragraph! There is so much here. Thank you for posting this!
Day 4. I woke up at 7:37a CST. There was a Recovery Dharma meeting at 8am. It is so dreary. I forgot to set up the coffee, so I was like, “Ya know, maybe I will just catch a later one.” Well, yesterday I planned to go to the 8am, so I did a little self-redirection about doing what you say you’re going to do (especially promises to myself) and off I went, 1/2 cup of day-old coffee in hand.
Turns out, this Zoom was the first of a new Sitting Group, the very beginning of the book, and with a most amazing group of people. I am “home”. For now, I have a Home Group Sangha (community) - every day at 8am CST.
Yes, at this point me working for someone else might be a nightmare LOL… Just got back from a two mile walk with the kiddo… Took her over by the NASCAR Hall of Fame and then we putted around town a bit. Did a few industry related Zoom’s this morning, so feeling a bit better 
2nd Check in today. 1st Part of my intake by video meeting done. It was actually not too bad. Pleasant enough conversation and I wasn’t dismissed as a fraud or poseur or something. Part 2 will follow tomorrow morning. On we go. Clean and sober. Tired because of stress. Luna undisturbed.
Oh my gosh, can I relate to this!! I have this hold up with journaling all the time. And in fact, I am having it today… I started a new journal two days ago and then didn’t write in it yesterday, now my brain is going nuts trying to figure out what to do about the missed day. Perfectionism at its finest, (or worst!).
