Day 18 sober. This days are a gift because addiction is not the center of my life and I am aware of all the time I have wasted. I am grateful for another opportunity

I’m finally feeling better; thank you to all who reached out…
I went to the gym and grocery shopping.
Also thanks to @Edmund for creating the thread “Daily Reflections in Recovery”, it’s helped me a lot and for selflessly writing it on your own time for us.

Day 28. Heard some things yesterday that must have agitated me. I woke up feeling ashamed and inadequate. The feeling is still there. I’m dealing with as I should but it does bring up certain doubts. This overwhelming feeling would usually have me running to hills but I know that will just make it worse. Human emotion is so weird.

@Steak Great work on day 28. You have overcome alot. So now your being is playing head games with you. It is saying, 'just watch, it’s only a matter of time. Head games will pull in your emotions, your past, your weakness, and an umpteen million factors to bring you down. Don’t give in. Read some of the courageous stories of defiance against addictions on these pages. Choose the company of these people and defy the addiction. Day 29 is about to dawn for you, glorious and free.
As for me I take courage from folks like you defiently checking in on day 33 to maintain my focus to March on into day 34.

That means a lot to me, Ric. A big part of my recovery are kind words like yours.

299 Days. I’ve been feeling better mentally but it’s probably because I’m burying myself into work, leaving no time to think about anything.
I’m really frustrated with the facility that handled my IOP. I’ve been trying to get a letter for 2 weeks and they won’t return my calls. I need it to get my license back. I understand they’re working remotely and things take time but 2 weeks is ridiculous. At least I’m not returning to the office anytime soon and don’t need to drive but it would be nice to have the freedom to run to the store without looking out for cops.

Keep track of your attempts to reach them. If you dont hear from them soon call the mayor’s office, or whoever is in charge of that department.

Day 152 sober feeling good. 
Had a family birthday party last night and noticed not one person was drinking… which if you knew my family someone always has a beer or wine…something. Not sure if that was strategically done on my sisters part or not. I was the last to arrive because of work so they may have. I almost wanted to say an announcement that it’s not necessary to do that when I’m around. I know if they did do it… it was from a kind place. I just don’t want people to change their habits and behaviors because of me. Anyways that’s just something I’ve been kinda playin in my mind the last 24 hours. Maybe someone can relate.

Your right emotions on this journey are freakin wild… all over the place at times. Just have to breathe and no it’s temporary. So much easier said then done… I know. Hang in there and keep fighting the fight! Congrats on 28 days!!

And that’s Day 15. I’m beat, but sober - so no complaints here. Will tuck in early now and get up early to meet my deadline and meeting tomorrow. I’ve already readied myself for the “you deserve…” thoughts that I expect will kick in tomorrow at around 5pm… I’m armed with special bubbly water and an array of bath bombs. So there, addict brain - take that!
@Dragonflygirl82 I would feel the same. At my low # of days, I’m being pretty selective what situations I put myself in, but at your # of days and your obvious comfort with your sobriety, and if you’re on good terms with family - that makes perfect sense. Give them time - you’re right that their actions came from a good place 
just as yours do!
Goodnight, beautiful people - have good evenings and mornings, and a day with many moments of ease. See you on the other side of the sun!

Day 106. Been getting up early to develop a new sleep schedule so i can commit more time at work and to be able to go surfing at the beach before any chance of crowds. So I went to a meeting tonight on zoom and after I read chapter 5 I layed down and fell completely asleep lol. Woke up to the meeting host doing the last share and the prayer. Omg that’s the first time that’s ever happened to me. Still glad I went cuz I got info for one of my friend’s speaker meeting tomorrow.

Thank you you are right. We all act like we can’t stand each other but push come to shove we are always there for one another.
