Day 659
Goodmorning! Just finished my walk with my neighbour. Like being outside even more now then in my drinking period. And during Covid being outside is feeling free not bonded with rules.
Have a great day all of you and maybe try a walk too? Nature heals
Day 11 sober. I feel happy and hopeful. I know is just the beginning but I am enjoying this momentum
Thank you
Almost to day 30. Yeah me.
Unfortunately my good mood is troubled by news that a great friend of mine “toyed” with and attempted suicide. Hurting herself while in rehab. Stopping her progress and a transfer to Gosnold hospital from MacLean. Now she just wants “to do anything to get out of here.”
Which frightens me since I see nothing but but self sabotage and bad choices. Plus she wouldn’t be under any care. Ughhhh.
I am going to keep my heart in a box today as to not get depressed and look for as many positive aspects in my own life as I can to negate my worry. Wish me luck and anyone who prays please keep Crystal in mind when asking God or your chosen higher power to send positive vibes her way. Thanks all.
Day 11.
Did not want to get out of bed this morning.Prayer and meditation and check in before work.Have a good Sober day
I’ve been looking for an excuse to eat my father’s day gift. I know white chocolate isn’t officially chocolate but if it reads it on the packages close enough for me. Lol.
P.S. Love the Lindt
. How’s that Cadbury? Never would have thought of Jelly beans in chocolate.How was the gym? Did you have to wear a mask?
I love white chocolate. I hate the snobbishness of “it’s not real chocolate”. It tastes nice, so what? Raspberry and white chocolate is my fav.
40.29 Days. Struggling with motivation, so I will keep on keeping on until the motivation returns. I fear this isolation has made me lazy
It was good! The place is huge, so even operating at 40% capacity (per state guidelines) they could still have a lot of people there at once.
Thankfully not the case though, maybe 5 or 6 other people working out. It was early-ish, about 730, but usually you’d see more than that. Back again today at 11 or so, in between meetings.
I did have to wear a mask. They said I could take it off when actively lifting/exercising, but I left it on 100% of the time aside from when I was taking a drink from my nalgene. Didn’t impede my breathing or anything, really. Each person gets their own bottle of sanitizer on the way in to spray down the equipment, and then you return it at the end so they can sanitize the bottle. They are also checking temps on the way in and recording the results.
Wow beautiful sky. Where is this?
Day 759* alcohol free
Felt much better about things for a couple of days - but woke up feeling sad today. I guess it’s better than having every day be rough. This whole past week was a year ago that my ex and I were in Ireland. I have this ability to remember very specific details, especially with specific dates/times, and I have such vivid memories of every single day of that trip. It was a really nice one. At the time, I thought I was introducing my family to my future wife. Alas, that’s not how things have turned out. Just a really bittersweet trip to think about. That’s been on my mind more and more. So I’m hurting a bit today. I just don’t know what to do with all these memories.
You know, if she and I had never had the house or our relationship – I’d love this current setup. The apartment is plenty big, nice new furniture, good area. But the fact of the matter is, we did have what we have. And as a result, I wake up so many mornings and look around and just can’t stand any of it. I am trying my best to shed guilt and blame, but I feel like such a failure when I think about what happened and this apartment is a constant reminder of it. I’d never take back what we had, though. Ever. “It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all”.
I’m also worrying about the future a lot, but I don’t think that serves much of a purpose. I just hate feeling so directionless.
One foot in front of the other, get through today.
Congratulations on your 500 days!!! So happy for you!!!
Day 15 today and feeling so very blessed with what I have in my life the black cloud of depression and anxiety has lifted so much and I’m finally have motivation to get things done I’m sleeping so much better and loving recovery. Hope your all ok and having a blessed day x
