Day 137.
Today is a typical sunday for me. Gf out working. Iâve done all the things I had to do today. So if this was 137 days ago I would get drunk. Right here, right now. On one side to fight boredom. On the other because I like it.
Itâs times like these thay challenge me. Being sober is better than getting drunk at this moment.
This ainât easy.

Day 8. Yesterday (Saturday) I went on a long walk and did yard work and felt great all day. Then started watching the Last Dance. I was really tempted as I watched Michael Jordan being interviewed with a cocktail in his hand, but read this stream during commercials to stay focused. Thanks!
@Sassenach Congrats on 60 days!
@ KnownAnswer congrats on double digits!
@Lisa07 Oh no, hope your husband is OK. I imagine the ER is still a scary place even with cases falling.

Ahh yeah I hear that. For meâŚitâs weirdâŚI actually am pretty happy with myselfâŚif I really think about it, I do love myselfâŚit was just that my inner critic was freakin NASTY to me. I would essentially freak out and berate myself all day internally. So almost like, there was a PART of me that was unhappy with myself. Hope youâre having a good day

Having one of my more optimistic moments. Despite the difficult loss of something so incredibly wonderful, I am now presented with endless possibilities of where to take things next. It is hard to see that right now, with the world essentially on pause, but things are slowly beginning to move again. I am making the conscious choice to focus on this today.
The only obligation I have is work (well, and caring for Chief, but thatâs a breeze). Thatâs it. I have complete and absolute freedom outside of that. I have a blank slate here. So what do I do with it?
Do I finally pursue my lifelong dream of living somewhere completely new, somewhere out west perhaps? I plan on getting my Irish citizenship (all I have to do is go through the process, might even just be paperwork, as I am afforded citizenship automatically due to my Father being born/raised there), do I go spend some time living over there? Do I finally make a go at a new career that Iâm actually interested in? Do I manage to rediscover the outgoing and sociable person that I once was?
I aim to engage with people, to be a part of something, to surround myself with positive and intelligent people.
Who will I be, and what will I do? Nobody can dictate this but me. It is also important to keep in mind that nobody is responsible for my own fulfillment and happiness, but me. The world owes me not a damn thing.
What I do know is that what comes next is about me. I need to know more about who I am, what I want, and how to find happiness. I now have the opportunity to explore that stuff.

Day 96
So glad to have this group to turn to. I saw my brother this morning and opened up more about my recovery. He and I discussed the addiction that runs throughout our family. He is a strong person and has worked hard to not go down as far as I have been. Other family members have not been as lucky as him.
I pray that everyone fighting an addiction can find peace and escape the hold that their DOC has on them. We can do this!

Thank you so much Emilie! That article is perfect for me. Iâm definitely going to incorporate the âI donâtâŚâ response into both work and personal life. This will make it much easier for me to say ânoâ. Very helpful!!!

Day 15. Didnât even know this group existed, so I this was a nice little prize. Struggling with the crippling fear of relapse, Iâve let myself down so many times that the thought of failure petrifies me at times. Finding the desire to activate my brain onto another task or subject is hard. I cant wait to get to the place where I feel okay thinking about my habit and it doesnât stir a desire to indulge.

Heâll be fine @Becsta. He was fixing things around the house and left all his tools laying around. The blade to cut sheetrock must have fallen into his path. He does construction for a living and youâd think heâd be more careful but not this time.

Thank you Chris! Itâs been really tough and the thoughts and urges are overwhelming. I just keep playing the tape all the way through to keep me grounded. Iâve had to add meditation to my routine which helps a lot too.
