Iā€™m checking in; I never used to but want to now, instead of staying on the outside looking in.šŸ™‹šŸ˜‰
I had a busy day; got my check engine light looked atā€¦ I go there for all car issues so as I was waiting I noticed how dirty the floors were and I swept it, lol. I canā€™t help myselfā€¦:sweat_smile: Anyway they didnā€™t charge me to change the sensor because I did, :+1:
Went to the gym and meant to check in on the 2:00 zoom meeting. I love seeing you guys irl!
All good today!

I am exhausted - mentally and physicallyā€¦yet my brain will not turn off. Itā€™s like Iā€™m feeling such hypervigilance that I cannot relax at all. I am sad and angry - and it feels like nothing in this world is right.

But I am sober and alive and safe. I hope yā€™all are holding up in the chaos of daily life right now. One moment at a timeā€¦

Day 576. Busy, busy day today. So much planning of the future, itā€™s stressful but exciting. Itā€™s nice that I have hopes for the future, I didnā€™t have those when I was drinking.

Day 18. I am still doing two Recovery Dharma meetings a day. Besides helping me to stay sober, it is doing loads for inner peace. Itā€™s difficult to maintain with the crazy all over.

@050Nl I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words. I wish you peace, friend.

  1. Coffee. Another very short night. I could quote and @ the last 40 posts and posters for together you describe how I feel right now. Thanks for being here. It makes all the difference. The pic is what you get if your start dredging on any given place in an Amsterdam canal. Reminded me of the inside of my head. Work to be done and lots of it. But first thing first which is earning my daily bread. Have a good day all. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.

Glad the weather is still nice for you. Raining here now. Would normally say good for the plants, but I put some stuff out yesterday that really needs sunshine :woman_facepalming::joy:

If you end up not being able to change your flights and end up in Europe, give me a shout for a tour of North West England! Subject to Covid restrictions etc being lifted.

Not as good as Hawaii I imagine but there are some lovely spots (Yorkshire Dales, Peak District, Lake District, Snowdonia in North Wales) and some good cities (Chester, Liverpool, Manchester) all within a couple of hours of each other.

I donā€™t know if itā€™s a good thing, but itā€™s definitely a thing I am experiencing. I have kind of had my sense of self shaken a bit, there was some other stuff going on around the time I quit that also probably contributed.

So yea, a thing! My boyfriend commented a while back on how much Iā€™ve changed and it got me thinking about this kind of stuff. I remind myself that change is the only stable thing (we never step in the same river twice etc) and just come back to one day at a time when it bothers me.

Other times it feels like an exciting and great opportunity to be what and who I want to be.

258 Days. I was having a good day. Busy with virtual meetings for work and jumped on the TS zoom meet up for a little bit. While winding down and eating dinner, I had an excruciating pain in a back tooth. Half of it came out, leaving nerves exposed. The pain is still pretty intense. Iā€™m still suffering the repercussions of my addiction. The years of using, continues to take a toll on my body. Iā€™m angry, for not taking action, to beat this addiction sooner in life. I know I have to let go of the past but itā€™s hard while still paying the price for my poor decisions.

Week 3 in the bag! Had some everyday stress yesterday, but today had a nice coffee and chat with a friend. My son, who has just gone back to school after school closures, is having daily homework meltdowns. I guess he needs time to get used to school routine. Was not my best dealing with him yesterday.

Day 147. Did some more sober reading yesterday. Articles, blogs, this forum. I like to learn more about sobriety.
Trying to stay positive in this fucked up world today.

The only thing I can do I stay sober and calm.

Have a good sober day!
