Happy Sober Labor Day everyone. I hope you all have a great day. I’m checking in daily to maintain focus! Day 10 for me! I started some step work yesterday also reading my literature. I bought a cute journal and will start journaling today. We’re doing a cookout and I’m thankful to be able to enjoy time with family sober. Also My coffee tastes better every morning! :smile:

  1. Signed up for bumble BFF last night :sweat_smile: I’m so tired of the “friends” I do have treating me like I’m some kind of transactional human being-only hit me up when it’s convenient for them or they need advice. Idk. Companionship is something I’ve always had in the past until I got sober and realized all those friends were around me because I was the life of the party. We shall see…happy labor day y’all :purple_heart: stay safe, stay sober.

  1. Been doing some pondering on how I got to today. It was a simple concept, that I worked extremely hard at.

I place my Sobriety over EVERYTHING in the beginning. As the 24hrs stacked up, the “stuff” I “sacrificed” to be sober was well worth it.

If you are struggling, place sober over everything. Without being sober, i had nothing.

At 10 pm today reaching double digits. Am taking nothing for granted and checking in. Today, I plan to read, write, knit and find something to do with the delicious fresh corn I saved from the Saturday BBQ in which I didn’t drink. Cheesy cornbread and salad, I’m thinking. Grateful for this forum and melatonin!

Distract yourself! How about a walk? Loud tunes and a 15 min household chore? the memes thread! call someone who’s a talker and let them distract you? :laughing:
Deep breath. picture the craving as a something you get to the other side of. you’ll come out of it, intact. and grateful to be sober.

In a little less than 8 hours time I’ll reach double digits too! High five for that!

I’ve been quite tired today, had trouble getting up in the morning, and we had a short but intensive day at work. Still have one email to send though, but have been procrastinating :see_no_evil:

Those are some healthy goals you have planned for yourself! I will tell you once I started making my bed everyday it’s like I felt more put together and grown up. It’s honestly the little things :grin:

Day 217. Good morning everyone. Today off, up and in the gym for 6. Killer leg day, hit my 275 for 8 on squats again, 255 for straight leg deadlifts. And 700 fricken pounds on leg press, super fricken proud of that. Followed with 15 minutes of battle rope, Sprint and sit up interval’s. Can’t wait for my meeting tonight. Blessed and grateful, have a awesome day
