Day 567. The stress is mounting. I have a lot of planning to do and a lot of it is waiting on meetings that will hopefully happen tomorrow and the next day, which I anticipate will be busy days. I did get a decent amount done today though, so I’m prepared enough for where I’m at.
I will have this stress for a little while but it is like an object I can take it out of my face and set it aside for later, so that though it remains in my vision, I can see other things more clearly. Mindfulness is my most effective tool for accomplishing that, and I will try to remember to make frequent use of it as needed.

Went to a memorial day party at the Cape. Had a chill time with all of the drinkers and smokers and ofcourse I stayed sober. Feels good to have so much self control.

Thank you, Kyle. It was very peaceful. 
Just feel disconnected. Been off of my routine and it showed through today. Tension with my son, lack of serenity with stuff outside of my control, overeating, not reaching out to my sponsor, etc. All prohibiting me from being present with my family members who are visiting for my dad’s birthday and the holiday weekend.
Mostly just want to isolate and pretend that a binge won’t have any affect on my spiritual condition. Not true and I know it, but it is still appealing to be numb for a few days.
I’m going to bed sober with a new day tomorrow. Without house guests, I get my meditation spot back.

Mitch, hang in, don’t pick up, and ride this thing out. We all get down, you are in a little lull that will pass. Reach out if you need it!!!

Thank you, K!
No plan to pick up. I see the work and I know what I have to do and I’m just a little tired of doing it. Trying to get those thoughts on paper and make myself accountable before bed.

Edit: The forum turned my individual reply with a quote into a general reply with a quote. Boo.
This is such an inspiring post. I’m in a pivotal point right now myself (though of quite a different nature to be sure), so I’m thinking a lot about possibilities too. Go back to school, reconsider my career, find out how to connect… but I’m already out west and not planning on any new citizenships 
I really needed to be reminded of this. I don’t want any pesky expectations ruining the dreams I’m developing.

Day 55. Was really tired and grouchy and irritable this morning. Got onto a zoom meeting with an AA group that meets out on the beach. It was really nice. Looking forward to attending those meetings once it’s safe.

I give you a lot of credit Sassy. There’s no way I could handle a 5 yr old that long. I would need 2 months or more to recover. I’m sure it was all worth it, it’s not like you get to see him every week. I’m glad to hear you not only survived but you enjoyed his visit.

Your pictures are all so beautiful Shay. You’re very photogenic. Looks like you had a nice time at the Cape. Good for you for getting out with your friends and still partying without the alcohol.
