Checking in daily to maintain focus #17

Your plan sounds good and feasible! You can always make adjustments later. Surely work is a whole new scenario when sober but you can do it.

Have a great day too! :slight_smile:

Such a lovely post. I could almost envision you sitting with a cuppa :slight_smile: You’re really brave allowing yourself to go thru those emotions sober. I admire that. All the best for you in this coming week and school starting! :heartpulse::tulip:

Hi

I am waiting for the hospital to phone me to arrange for the ultrasound. The bloods they took yesterday were a lot better than the bloods they took on friday so I am trying to remain positive :slight_smile:

  1. Thanks everyone for all your support. I’m hitting up a meeting tonight… I feel ok this morning, a lil out of it. Always feels weird after having a moment like that. I had a good lift session this morning… Thanks @Dan531 for the new routine today was a good start, felt good. Have a good day every one

  1. I need a break from being home alone doing DIY so I just rented a car and booked a hotel for one night on the Belgian/German border. The next 2 days are supposed to be dry and I want to ride my bike in the Eiffel and Ardennes for a bit. Took me hours to find a place to stay in my usual non-orderly unplanned way. But I did and most times these sort of searches turn out good. Now it’s back to painting the bloody radiator and pipes a third time. Sober and clean. Have a good day all. Love from Amsterdam.

    @Jonachav123 You take care of yourself Jonathan. Good you are here sharing. You don’t want to do that.
    @Hailstrom Lovely numbers friend. Congrats.
    @anon79808082 Yay Donna!!! Look at you go girl. Big congrats and hugs.

D 21 aka 3 weeks. :partying_face: :partying_face:

Opening up about my addiction here a couple days ago has helped me massively. I’ve been able to confide in my trusted friends for the first time ever. One friend has known me for 15 years… Wow. It’s powerful, to rid myself of shame.

Not to mention the feedback. I’ve been overwhelmed with compassion and acceptance :sob: Having had to struggle so many years alone I can hardly believe I have people by my side now.

Day 236.
I feel nutral. I am happy that I got things done this morning before my mate shift.
I called my aunts about the situation with my parents.
They hate seeing this but both admit that it’s a 2 way street and they (my parents) have to realise they’re behavoir was not okay.
I don’t know how to fix this.
Maybe just give in and apologize to my folks?

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 2

Waiting for the first class in school to start, via zoom. I’m really grateful for the fact that I don’t have to go to Gothenburg to attend, it’s still scary with the virus, and the fact that I need to use public transportations and go to at least two different cities before I even get there isn’t really appealing. The news are also reporting about what seem to be some kind of gang war issue in that town, so I’m grateful for the zoom opportunity.

Another thing I’m extremely grateful and happy about is all your help an support. Y’all are absolutely amazing. A big hug and all my love to each one of you who, without all of y’all I probably wouldn’t have been here and up going again.

And without you I wouldn’t even have a clue on how to use zoom.

Sun is shining fall is coming and I’m feeling very positive about all things again.

Unfortunately I talked to my Ma yesterday, she wanted to have an Octoberfest, I don’t mind, we do one every year. The food is the reason for me attending anyway, so that wasn’t the issue. While talking with her she also told me that my Pa isn’t feeling well. He has some problems with his hip, like old people sometimes get. Last time he was here, like last week he also had problems with his knee. I told him to call the hospital, he did and they said that the hip issue affects his knees. Talked to my brother a few days after that, and he said it was getting a lot worse. Once again I made them call the hospital. Didn’t hear anything more about it so I thought it wasn’t that bad. Yesterday my Ma told me that it got really bad Friday so Ma (who’s a nurse) had taken him to the emergency because he could barely move and his leg and knee was extremely swollen. She made them do a real careful check and it turned out that Pa had blood clots in his leg. The doctors told him that if it had been higher up amd moved from the leg it would have gotten to his lungs. So he is going back to the hospital this week for more check ups and scannings. I know I’m an adult, and been for a long time. I know my parents are old, I know people doesn’t live forever. But it worries me, it worries me a lot.
The good thing is that the hospital is going to have him under more surveillance for a while.

I hope everyone of you is having a wonderful day.

Messed up my diet for 3 days…BUT I am back on track now. Still not smoking. I learned that it’s so easy to give up when I am not in the right state of mind. AWARENESS is very important.
