Checking in daily to maintain focus #15

be careful and hope to see you back soon and sober.

Good afternoon everyone. Checking in on day 30! :blush: 1 month again… Day started really fine but it went downhill from then… Now I’m in a bad mood. Anxious. Too many thoughts in my head… This Corona shit is really annoying me… Daycare doesn’t let kids in that have a cold. Youngest son is almost back to normal has a bit of a running nose. But hardly. Was home for half of last week. Today I had to pick him up again because I need a doctor’s certificate that he can go again. Now coming back from the doctor without one. He said he is totally fine but can’t write it down because if he sneezes and if he has a running nose tomorrow he certificated that he is healthy when he is actually not…WTF? This is a complete joke. I’m really angry. Hubby stayed home half week last week. I have deadlines at work. I just don’t know what to do now… I Know I will find a solution but right now 30 days ago I would have drank just to make me forget all this… But no I won’t im just so angry

Here I am checking in to maintain my focus on sobriety. Making this commitment daily is like building a structure brick by brick.

Checking in at midday on a Monday at my desk, and while it is such a Monday (groan) I’m happy to report that any cravings are at bay…

…though I had to smile as I made my lunch. Over 25 years ago, way before it was a thing, I was diagnosed as celiac, and I haven’t had gluten (intentionally) since. So I said goodbye then to the dream of enjoying a baguette with wine in a small Parisian cafe, and now the wine part of the dream is gone too. It was no problem with the bread, there was no jedi mind trick needed - gluten makes me that sick that I don’t even crave it. I guess it took me a lot longer to realize that the wine does me no better - but here I am!

As long as there is cheese, good cheese (sorry vegans!) :laughing: :cheese: I will be okay…

Stay strong everyone, and thanks for your strength. Happy Monday!

In that case it would not be funny indeed. But in my mind I saw only the tractors crussing along the airstrip and not the consequences. I don’t always think of consequences, I have no doubt that that comes from my youth and ADHD.

Hi All. Haven’t been checking in for long as put myself into a project of house ground floor transformation to open plan. Been extremely busy and didn’t have time for anything what’s not related to my home work what helped me with staying focused on other things and not on drinkingthoughts. It’s 48th day today I have not swallowed any alcohol. Why I said swallowed? Cause I have physical contact with it on a daily basis. Alcohol based hand sanitiser is all-over my work place :upside_down_face: :laughing: :innocent: . My alcohol thoughts seems to disappeared somewhere and if I have any they are very very short.
I think will have to go back to checking in daily as family is soon going away for 1.5 weeks and it will be a challenge for me to stay focused on sobriety on my own.

I hope all of you are doing OK :ok_hand:

Maaaaan! If I ever needed patience and compassion for people, today is the day! I’ve always been told never pray for patience, because God WILL teach it to you. So please say a little prayer for me today while I practice breathing in and out! :grin:
