Checking in daily to maintain focus #15

Turns out to be a strange day. Went to work, noticed an increase to the soreness in my throat which has been sore on and off for weeks really but now it’s a bit more. Talked to my colleagues and manager, called the local health service and now I’m home. Will be tested tomorrow morning. Result will take 48 hours max. In the meantime I’m supposed to stay home. OK. To me it’s 95% sure it’s nothing but I’m better safe than sorry right? So it’s nap time now. Clean and sober. Love from my place.

9 days down weekend handled pretty good no cravings no feelings of FOMO so felt great. Theres an online smart meeting tonight and I’m attending it to keep on the right path. I’m listening to a pos cast on my morning dog walks and that also helps so life right now is going really good living moment to moment works for me.

Day 931
Today I’m going to start bodyweight and hiit training again after almost 1,5 weeks break. Last week on monday I cut my right thumb at work while cutting bread :see_no_evil: It was a bloody mess! Lucky me I did everything right and didn’t get an infection. The cut was deep and big, I should have get it fixed with some stitches but umm…yeah. Yesterday I did some planking bc I was afraid I lost all my muscles :sweat_smile: Of course I didn’t. Funny that I was afraid of becoming weaker, I used to hate sports. Now I love it. I’m even thinking about going to the gym (next year when the whole Covid Sh** cqlms down) to lift and build up more muscles :+1:t2:
But now I’ll be a lazy happy burrito having my second coffee and reeelax :heart:
Have a safe sober day friends :heart:

53.26 Days… Back to the grind. Grateful business is getting busy again, but still so tired. I’m sure my body will regulate once my med dosage is maxed out next month. I’m grateful to be sober, and no desire to drink today. Happy Monday everyone :heart:

Forgot to add some pretty pics from the sunset last night. My building is the one on the right in the 2nd pic :slight_smile:

  1. Hey hey, thanks everyone for all you’re kind words. I came to realize that yeah I’ve stopped working my sobriety once again, I get very cocky and comfortable in my happy moments that I think everything is just going to come to me, so I stop working it and then become miserable once I see the things I was dreamy about don’t happen.
    I’ve also realized that fuck I do still wish I could get fucked up, I say I have no thoughts but come on who am I kidding?, This weekend I seen some snap chats, and caught myself saying I bet you there is coke there.
    But I’ve also realized like Mike bro, you’re fucking sober bro, look down at your feet right now. Where were you almost 6 months ago, and where are you now. Great things are coming and will continue to come if iget my ass up and keep working for it. So starting to work the steps the right way, and listening to some podcast of that sober guy and time to start living the best sober life I can🤘

Day 8, after a great weekend it’s back to work, I really enjoy my job so it helps keep my mind of things/triggers. Have therapy at a horse ranch this afternoon to try and help with my PTSD. Kinda on the fence if it will help any or not but at this point I’m open to anything.

@purr Congrats on one year! I hope your exam goes well.
@Lisa07 Yay10 months! Boo well-meaning sister-in-law :roll_eyes: I hope the conversation goes well…
@Mno Oh feel better soon! Maybe the extended company of feline pals is the as yet undiscovered virus cure? :laughing: But all our hopes are that your test comes back negative.

Day 21 starts early for me. Hope you all have beautiful Mondays! :orange_heart:

I’m on day 3 of almost a month relapse with prescription pills. I feel like I lost so many days and it flew by so fast. :sob: I am back and working through the withdrawal. :muscle::crossed_fingers: I obviously have a lot of catching up to do but I read some. Have a wonderful sober day all :grinning:

@Lisa07 WOW. I’m pissed off just reading that. How is your daughter?

I think you made the right call by leaving as quickly and as you politely could. You are most definitely the ‘nice/kind’ sister in our family. I ‘might‘ have left immediately, … with the whole cake!! :sweat_smile: :hugs::kissing_heart:

Don’t. The first ones are totally disgusting. It’s gross. Inhaling burning toxic carcinogenic super addictive fumes into your lovely clean pink lungs. Than when you get used to it you’re hooked. Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on earth. You gain absolutely nothing by smoking, except a painful slow death somewhere in your future. Take it from me, a smoker for 35 years. Quitting was the best I ever did for myself. No joke.
