Checking in daily to maintain focus #15

Day 12 sober. I surpassed my last record of sobriety time. I am grateful and despite my tiredness I hope not giving up.
I binged with chocolate and sweets and I feel sorry for that :disappointed::chocolate_bar:

Just like this, write a few lines about your day, or just saying hi/godmorning and send a regard to everyone in this thread. Iā€™m usually writing a half of a novel every time :blush:

Well done Thomas! I was very excited to see your check in and see that youā€™ve now been 12 days without alcohol! Amazing and well done!. Keep taking it one day at a time amigo and you will eventually feel this is no longer a challenge but actually a wonder. Sober life is the best life. It takes courage and determination to be sober and youā€™ve shown that you have this, for 12 days now! :muscle: Keep checking in here. You will only give up if YOU decide to. Decide not to. Decide to keep going and be sober for another day. For each day you are sober, it gets a little easier to resist turning back and you will continue to feel better and you will have more confidence. :blush: Oh, and donā€™t be hard on yourself, chocolate and sweets is what helps many of us get through those cravings in the first few months! Helped me a lot.

Day 551 and Iā€™m sitting on the balcony of my suite in Las Vegas thinking about how crazy this road to recovery has been. I spent the whole day hanging out by the pool with friends who drink. I even went to the pool bar and ordered them drinks! This is something that would have never ever ever been possible for me to do in the many years that I continued to fight and fail against my disease! Iā€™m so grateful and happy to be free from the obsession. Life feels good again :blue_heart:

Day 760* alcohol free

And for those keeping track at home - an update - have not abused my medication since that isolated slip, which is now 30 days ago. Taking as prescribed, consistently, and not really needing to think about it (nonetheless remaining aware). No cravings, not even any teeny tiny thoughts of abuse. So thats reassuring.

First leg day in the gym yesterday in 4 months. Went at 60% of my normal weight, legs still on fire today and probably worse tomorrow. Hurts so good.
Today is off day for recovering. Putting running on the backburner until my body gets used to lifting againā€¦so plenty of rest for now, much needed as I get back in top form. Also slowly ramping the carbs back up. Last thing I need is an injury. Slow and steady.
