Checking in Daily to Maintain Focus #12

Those days are stacking up nicely @050Nl. Nala is looking beautiful as usual. I can imagine how crazy happy she was to see you. Don’t rush your recovery, that surgery was fucking intense. Sending you and Nala hugs and kisses. :hugs: :kissing_heart:

5 days and 12 hours. Finally slept last night. Was able to wash my sheets because the night sweats stopped as well. Still have some shakiness. The app helps so much.

Thank you. I do want to become a better person. I never want to hurt anyone I care about again. My gf said that when I was sober that I showed her love, respect, treated her well and made her happy. That is the person I want to be.

10 days is great! It will most likely take a few tries for it to stick. We just have to learn from our missteps. That certainly has been the case for me.

Finishing up Day 1 and off to bed. Glad I found this app to launch into a new road ahead. The forum posts are inspirational.

Day 2. Again. But still, Day 2.
Worked a covid drive thru test site all day, came home exhausted and dehydrated. Ordinarily I would still down a bottle of wine because “I earned it” and then just continue feeling awful tomorrow. I didn’t, I’ve been pounding water and resting. It’s frustrating that I can know what to do for myself, know how much worse drinking would make me feel, and still crave it.

Check in day 31. :blush: That’s right, baby! I made it to 30 fucking days yesterday! :partying_face: I felt happy to have reached a milestone and man, the support from my fellows was a bit overwhelming lol. I’m not used to people rooting for me like that, you know… :heart:
On the other hand, my mind was playing me. Ofcourse I felt like celebrating it the way I’d usually celebrate: with pot. So instead I celebrated with a pint of B&J :heart_eyes:

And now back to just for today. My mind just wants to work from one milestone to the other, but I know it doesn’t work that way. I know I have to stay aware of that. I’ve figured out some schedule for myself to keep busy in the day and I’ll be seeing the guy I was dating before Corona got involved in the coming weekend, so things are looking pretty good.

Also, tattoo shops are reopened in the Netherlands, so I’ll be making some appointments to get my nose pierced en get “I believe in the good things coming” tattooed on my arm. :heart:

Happy & sober day to all! :four_leaf_clover::pray:

  1. Quick check in as I’m going for a ride and want to leave now, before it gets busy. Got to see my friend last night, It helps. I need human contact outside of my work.
    Have a good day all. Sober and clean. @justMe2 ‘rewarding’ ourselves with drinking is what we know. We got to break that habit. You are. One day at a time. You’ll find other, healthier, better ways of rewardfing yourslef. Keep going. @Flamestar Yay Maartje! Gefliciteerd met een hele maand! Love from Amsterdam all.
