Thanks bro I just try to tell myself I feel better than I did day 1 and so on so on so if I feel off it’s bound to turn eventually. It checked me tho real fast that this is a process and can’t expect to have full sanity back just cuz I put the evil poison down 47 days ago. Thanks again bro

I love the way you handled this. Something I need to learn/do for myself.

281 Days. I’ve made a few very minor mistakes at work lately and I get down on myself really hard. These mistakes are easily fixable like forgetting an attachment to an email or not including someone and having to forward what I already sent. My boss and coworkers tell me it’s fine and don’t worry. However, I do worry. I’m finding distractions working remote cause these stupid mistakes. You’d think my family would have gotten used to me working from home by now but they continue to interrupt me all day long. I have to accept the fact that all aspects of life are progress and not perfection.

I had the same issue yesterday and actually wrote about it on here. I used the same line of progress not perfection. Its amazing to know we are not alone. And I feel your pain about working remote. I’ve been doing it for a couple years now. It seems like everyone expects that you can work whenever you feel like and accommodate their schedule. I’ve had to put my foot down a couple times with family.
Keep up the great work. Clearly you’re doing things right to hit 281 days.

I like to go to the library when I have nothing to do but want to get out, lol. The library is really amazing; they recently renovated and it’s just beautiful.

I’m going to start working with the instructor on the reformer starting Monday; I do it myself but I need more discipline on it, and for an hour instead of 20 or 25 minutes when I do it alone, lol.

that’s the Cadillac!
Thank you Blake. I’m glad I’m not alone. Years ago, I had a good routine working remote and my family was very cooperative. This time around, they are taking advantage of a “temporary situation”. I can’t get back to the office quick enough. lol
Hmm looks very cool and interesting for sure

Thank you so much for your insight. I’ve had many days of sobriety in the past, but years of alcoholism. I’ve been strong in the past, but I’m even stronger and more wise now. I appreciate you, and I’m proud of you!

My day 5 has ended up a beautiful day as I wrote this morning I was so unmotivated and feeling empty so I called a friend from my fellowship who invited me round I normally hate going for coffee at people’s houses but I decided I’d go … it was the right thing to do we sat and I told her how I felt about relapsing about feeling guilty full of shame and regret and how I’m trying to move forward in my recovery it felt so good to see a real life face who understands… I left my friends house and felt so much better for offloading I’m so greatful to her for being so kind and caring to me . I’m now looking forward to the weekend and getting out again x
