Checking in Daily to maintain focus #13

Thank you :cherry_blossom:

Good job resisting the urge to drink yesterday. The drinking in the sun is a hard one, but together we can make it.

I’m sorry to hear about your blister and hope you’ll find some relief for it. Maybe you can use another pair of shoes meanwhile?

Wishing you a wonderful weekend, and keep staying strong today :cherry_blossom:

So I took my first “virtual chip” at my meeting tonight, which was kinda awkward but also gratifying​:rofl: I learned that I will be having a nephew :baby:t2: and not a neice today and yesterday’s interview for my promotion :money_with_wings: went good and I’m feeling good about it either way. No real cravings or meltdowns either, just a nice day of relaxation (mostly… i had to change one weird light bulb)

So i celebrated with some frozen bananas🍌, yum!

I’m glad you made it, good job staying strong when everything feels like chaos. And as many in here already said to me, check in as often as you need even if that is every 15 mins or more often. It’s always someone here to help if you need to reach out. And don’t forget that you are awesome fighting this hard to stay sober and keeping your focus on that.

I hope the rest of your weekend will be a little easier for you. You can do this :cherry_blossom:

Guys its Saturday morning I am on day 7 and I made it through Friday night …no alcohol.
I have not had a clean Friday for almost a year
.always listened to that voice while driving home from work to buy a bottle of booze then drink the lot when I got home just because I would tell myself…go on its Friday and you been working hard all week …
Yesterday was tough though I had my boss and colleagues stressing me out then one of my colleagues sent a picture of her drinking gin in the garden in the sun …I though it would bother me but that didn’t as much because I thought she is going to have one bad head in the morning
As me well I am bright as a button this morning
Fell fresh fell free feel alive

It’s not easy but I am taking each day at a time

Great job staying sober throughout the Friday. Amd congratulations to 7 days and the first sober Friday in a year.

I know you wrote that it didn’t stress you out with the picture, but if there’s a risk that it might trigger you I would have asked them not to send things like that. Hopefully they’ll understand.

It’s a really nice feeling waking up sober without a hangover during the weekend. I wish you a wonderful Saturday. Keep focusing on yourself, you can do this. :cherry_blossom:

150 days without alcohol. It has been hard to be willing to stay present this week and not give in, particularly in light of recent acts of violence against already marginalized groups in my country. It would be very easy to give myself over to hopelessness by getting shitfaced, but I know that drinking won’t help the situation. I am choosing not to drink. Instead I will attend a protest tomorrow.

7 days, and it’s Saturday :blush:
I feel awesome, and today’s BBQ doesn’t feel that hard at all. I had one non alcoholic beer yesterday, I usually have a lot of champagne and a few beers. I’ve always thought that I really like beers, but turns out that I don’t. I don’t like the bitter taste at all, but I probably loved the buzz I got from it. A nice insight and it makes life a little easier.

The weather here is still lovely and we’re about to do some shopping today, and buy some new garden flowers. Happy Saturday everyone :cherry_blossom:
