Checking in Daily to Maintain Focus #12

Not too bad. My attorney and my son’s attorney (which was a suprise) are both asking for the case to be dismissed. We have the next court trial thursday at 9am and if we need Friday at 10am

Thanks for your replies. I’ve just started an audiable about mindfulness and I’m sure it’s going to be a great help. I now realise that mindfulness would probably be completely unattainable whilst in a drinking cycle, at least for me.

@GVLNative I notice your profile is hidden from public, I’m not sure if this is something I can or should do?

You can choose to hide your profile if you want. Personal choice in the app.

Thanks, my profile is anonymous anyway so no real need as yet, I couldn’t find the option though?

Day 4. So tired. So, so , so tired. I am doing crazy delirious things today and can’t really keep a cohesive thought in my head. I am going to try to cut out the caffeine earlier in the day.

I feel very strong and well-armed. Sitting in Dharma Recovery meetings, twice a day, is so helpful. I am taking away such shiny, golden nuggets from each meeting. I am quite pleased with the knowledge that I no longer have to bargain with my cravings. I can sit with them, acknowledge them and wait for impermanence to do its job.

I am ready to have a life, not a mere existence. I have been existing for too long.

Have a great day, my tribe.

I’m getting tacos today.

So I find this interesting…I normally have to do my UA tests Monday and fridays…this has been going on for weeks.

I tested yesterday…and got pulled for a random today. So I’m sitting here waiting to pee in a cup. They are playing games trying to catch me drinking…hello I play this game better because I’M NOT DRINKING.

Day 50. Had those thoughts of trying to rationalize when and why i would drink again. I call it bargaining. Anyone else have that? Anyways, logged into an open discussion SMARTS meeting and talked it out. Feeling much better. Gonna check out a tool time smarts meeting today and plan to do a local AA newcomers meeting tomorrow.

Day 377. I have had a really, really rough week. Been crippling with anxiety. And then today, my mum gave me a beautiful silver ring which she had engraved with my sobriety date, the 8th of May. And I was reminded what I’m fighting for. Sometimes it’s harder, but always so worth it. Feeling grateful tonight. I’ve made it past 1 year, and even though some weeks are tough, I have a support system who believes in me. And it reminds me, that I believe in me too. One day at a time. And today I stayed clean. It feels good to have a constant reminder of what I’m fighting for on my finger.

That’s a great gift Iza. Even greater is the gift you gave yourself by becoming sober and keeping your sobriety for over a year now. Good things happen when we make them happen. Happy for you. Hugs.

I’m reading The Tao of Sobriety but have yet to do an online DR meeting. I’m pretty tired too! Day 8 and it took me until Day 4-5 to get any type of sleep. Hang in there.
