Recovering compulsive overeater. This is day 3 of my sobriety. I am grateful for this disease as it permits me to know humility and grow close to my higher power. Bless you all.

Thank you for your contributions. Alone this shit is impossible but together its achievable.
Checking in on day 19.
I feel like I am just trying so hard at everything these days… I am trying to break down my emotional walls, I am trying to not be too emotional, I am trying to address issues, I am trying to choose my battles and keep the peace, I am trying to better myself, I am trying to loosen up, I am trying to decide what I want out of life, but I am trying to stay in the moment and be easy going. I feel like I am trying so hard at everything and failing at everything at the same time. I know I am doing good at not drinking, and honestly I am not even tempted, but I just feel like I don’t even know who I am right now. I second guess and doubt every single decision that I make, and if feels awful.

One thing to do is to break the problems down into importance.
- Getting and staying sober (this is number 1 since nothing else matters if this is in shambles).
- Next item (battle #1)
- Next item (battle #2)
so on…
Then tackle them one or a couple at a time to make this more manageable. Spend the time on them in order to allow you to focus on the core issue. If you cannot tackle all on the list, then save them until 1-3 are done for example. This does not always work, but chunking helps me.
Great job on Day 19 (almost 3 weeks)!!!

Day 7. Hit One week and looking for more non alcoholic days. No sign of cravings today and feel great…and sober ! Had some easy day at work today and going to read ’ Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway’ as this is the time to work on emotions control. Hopefully it will help me to control some emotional drinking triggers 
…
I think (hopefully I am not wrong) AA groups will be open to the public soon in the UK and I am seriously looking to join one. Few around my area so no excuses to get in there.
I can see all of you doing so well and I wish you thousands more sober days in your life calendar.

Work is occupying most of my brain function lately. Projects need my approval before they can move forward. That kinda fucks with my ego and my selfish nature. Things need to happen my way, and infractions need to be judged for penalties and remedies. It’s hard to recognize if/when my character defects are coming out to play. At least I’m concious of it, I guess.
