Checking in daily to maintain focus #17

day 252! pretty nervous for this weekend because I’m going on vacation with my friends for the first time, and they all like to drink. it’s been long enough where I don’t really feel like I will, but it’s kinda fearful all the same.

Starting my day #2 for the umpteenth time.
Have more support this time than ever before. Getting back to a normal schedule I am hoping will help as well. Not being alone for the next 4 days is my goal; so easy to relapse when alone.
From there I can work on keeping my mind and self busy when I know I will be alone.
Thank you to everyone who has read my posts, responded, even just thought positive thoughts for me and everyone working on and staying sober.
You all are ROCK STARS!!!

You’ll be fine; you’re a non drinker and they will respect your choice. Have fun!

Whatever it takes for it to click, keep your friends close by if it’s being alone that gets you.

Day 6. I’ve finally gotten past Day 3 and not fallen back in to old habits. Started the day out by taking the dogs for a walk. I take them separately…200 lbs of lab is too much at once in our busy neighborhood that’s full of other dogs, cats, and kids. 2.2 miles total, great way to start the day!! I’ve got a super busy day of work ahead of me. I plan to do yardwork and grill dinner later. Have a great day everyone!! :sunflower::butterfly::sun_with_face::facepunch::blush::muscle:

Checking in on Day 5!
Struggled with sleep last night as it was so bloody hot but still woke up feeling energized! Did some yoga and deep breathing. Got some money today so going to pay a few things off. Really don’t have the money to use so thats good! Just need to make sure my addict brain doesn’t kick in and try to move money around so I can get some. Anyway, I’m feeling grateful today. Grateful for people like you all in my life who I can open up with. Grateful for my spiritual toolkit that I can access anytime. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far!

  1. Bearded man problem #2356…when your lady sees a picture of you and your beard is much shorter and likes it better. Now to determine which loves me more…the beard or a lady… In all seriousness, sobriety has made that possible.
