Checking in Daily to maintain focus #13

I think you should cut and paste this over in that over a year/my story sober thread. I would like it to be somewhere that people can see it when they join. It will get swallowed up here. Who knows the name of that thread? James? @ifs

Day 23. I REALLY want a beer. Itā€™s so hot. I worked so hard at the farm. An ice cold beer sounds fantastic. So, if I just want ONE ice cold beer, this N/A beer I am about to drink should satisfy that. Right? No alcohol in the house and I sure as hell am not going back out in that heat.

RDO Meeting in 20 minutes.

Day 581. Feeling sad and lonely and tired this evening. Itā€™s times like this I wish my social life wasnā€™t entirely online. Iā€™ve also got a hard week ahead of me and I feel weak and weak-willed. Life is good right now, but also hard. :confused:

I hear yah man. Besides the days I have my girls, but my Snapchat was filled with ppl hanging out this weekend, all ppl I use to hang out with. A guy I know who is sober was there, but I never get a invite and I never know of anything going on. My one buddy went out in the pontoon Thursday and Friday and I have not heard from him. Ppl going for hikes on FB and I want to ask if I can join, but there girls so I know they would say no. I can still feel ppl think im the old Mike. The creeper who said stupid shit to chicks when he was drunk, also my ex has made a bad name for me in this town. And at work it sucks bc I just donā€™t want to make friends with anyone there and everyone is miserableā€¦so I totally hear yah bro, eventually will find something man, stay positive

Thanks for sharing it Menno. So much of this I can identify in myself ( Iā€™m sure others too). You have ā€˜opened my eyesā€™ even more at where my problem is.
I wish you all the best!

April, your body and mind is still healing. It takes time to repair the damage weā€™ve done in our addictions. Could possibly be a vitamin deficiency.
I have had gastric bypass and must monitor my optimum vitamin levels on a monthly basis. I did not in my addiction and have paid an incredible price mentally and physically. Slowly I am turning things around for the better after almost 3 years of sobriety. Patience is definitely a virtueā€¦

Alcohol counter is ticking away nicely, but I am most proud of no binge eating 23 days. This is unheard of. I am not losing weight anywhere near as fast as I would like, but the general trend is down, and with better eating habits. I have had periods when I got frustrated and restricted, but then when the inevitable binge desire came, I ā€œbingedā€ on healthy food, which did not have the same negative effects. Added to that I am running for longer times, I must be much healthier even if the scale is not showing much of a difference.

This morning all is coolio :four_leaf_clover::heart::four_leaf_clover:
Had some troubles last week mentaly and was dissapointed in those who vouched to help me with Nala so she had good walks but this week i made a planning myself so i can count on my own action and preparations.
Figured out that when i put things out of my own controll and it doesnt work it bugs and annoys me as a hedgehog up my budhole soā€¦ thats that. Iā€™m itchy enough allready :wink:
Revalidation finaly starts groing the fruit of healingā€¦ just gotta hang in now.

Good day my warriors !!!
