Day 331… caught a cold so now I’m in Covid protocol for work. I have the test on Wednesday morning so I’m probably off til next week sometime. Oh well, at least i get paid for up to 7 days of it. I do feel shitty today but i doubt i have covid. Have a great rest of your day/ night.

@mleclaire Don’t question anything about ur own sobriety, it is still the best path. As for ur sister, that is very worrying. If she has had issues with alcohol bad enough to get in trouble with the law, then it would be a miracle if she learns how to moderate. I’m sure she will be defensive, but could u find a gentle way to ask her about it?
@anon86726034 Fingers crossed for ur family!

None of the above… I need to go sugar free let me tell you! 
I think just walking and just eating less… and the drinking I guess I was just consuming a shit ton of calories and sugar. Ugh thank God no more

Checking in on day 42. I just had a nice late afternoon jog. I have really been working hard to repair the damage inflicted on my health by all the destructive ways of coping. Here’s to new perspectives!
Also, very happy sober birthday greetings to @claire-lo!

I’ve done this too. After just a few months of recovery I’d start assuming that my life was always going to be that way. That I’d just be trading drinking all the time for an obsession with recovery. I’d walk away and think that I could just simply not drink, with no effort put forth.
Now I’m thinking I need to be immersed in recovery for awhile. Especially at first. It’s some seriously ingrained patterns I’m trying to break.
I do hear from other people with longer term sobriety that it begins to feel like less of an effort and more so just the way they live their lives now.

I just stumbled across these post. I’m going to try and reread it a couple of more times. I feel like all I am doing is obsessing about my recovery. I got a little over 250 days now but it seems like all I do is think about it and talk to my wife about it. And I’m afraid she’s getting sic of it since she drinks. She says she isn’t though because I ask her. There’s really no one else I got to talk to except you guys here at TS. I am obsessed with coming on here whether it be a check in or pet pic or a meme or a foodie thing, or just read… whatever, but its seems to be controlling me like almost another addiction. I keep thinking maybe I should cut down my time on here. I don’t know if I can though. I don’t want to go back to the news and twitter. I do assume like everything else this too shall pass. Right? Maybe I should set times during the day or certain days.
Thank for listening.

Seriously lacking lately. . . I feel disconnected spiritually, and so frustrated. My sobriety isn’t in jeopardy, and nothing is really wrong other than I’m just getting really down on myself. I need to get plugged back into my higher power.
