Checking in daily to maintain focus #17

  1. Coffee. Did a lot of cleaning work yesterday. All the doors in my apartment and the floor. Today taking it a bit more easy. Cleaning the bathroom will do. Thinking about going to my old bar just to see a couple of old mates. Would be the second time this year. Last time I didn’t feel any connection at all so why bother really. I’m not going to drink anyway. But feeling a bit lonely this morning. Will see. I’ll stay sober and clean today. That’s for sure. Have a good day all. Love from Amsterdam and Colorado last October. @M-be-free49’s pics reminded me of the awesome hikes I did there. Love.

    @TMAC It’s good to see you Tristan. Sorry you’re grieving so hard. Wish I could tell you how to work it and make it better.
    @Just_Laura That’s a shitty situation to be in Laura. I’m sorry. You can only lead by example I guess. Thanks for sharing. Hope it helps a bit.

You’re right Claartje, although the cleaning makes me happy at the moment. My place has been such a mess for so long and it is so nice to come home to a clean tidy apartment. My favourite place in town, Oude Kerk, is closed right now but I did book a ticket the Rembrandthuis later this afternoon. Thanks for the idea!

Checking in clean and soba and alive ! I went to my first face to face meeting last night since covid it was lovely to see so many old faces . It was so sad as so many people had relapsed I thank God for the rooms and zoom for recovery so many people out there fighting this terrible illness. I’m working this weekend and looking forward to getting out around normal people my focus for the past week has been all recovery so be nice to be in the real world! Hope everyone has a blessed day x x

I can imagine how you feel Tristan @TMAC :heart: the 15th wedding anniversary of me and my ex would’ve been recently and it felt really sad although being separate is no doubt the right solution. It’s not easy to bury the commitment… hugs and strength my friend :hugs:
