Back here. Checking in. I succumbed to my desires. But I am here. Thanks for being there for me yesterday. I freaked out. I was convinced that my wife had Covid. Being seriously diabetic, Covid isn’t good for her. I have a full blown panic attack. Perhaps this is a wake up call. I need to change my life. I need to get back to work. To focus. Just checking in. Just disregard my ramblings.

Well as one of the (relatively) new comers, thank you for sticking around. Your posts and updates on your progress are so motivating!

Something that really helped and still helps me is to replace feelings of “need” with “want.” Do you WANT to make these changes in your life? Words matter. If you want it, it can point you in positive directions. When I would say I need to do something, it feels heavy, like something I have to do against my will or that has a lot of implications attached. That might still be true to some extent, but I’m more likely to find the energy to achieve my goals if I WANT to. For what it’s worth. Good on you for coming back here and checking in. I hope your wife’s appointment goes well.

Whoops! I forgot to check in on day #41 and now I’m at day #42 - 6 weeks! I busted a hump at work yesterday and was exhausted when I staggered home at 9 PM. Normally, I would have poured myself a drink and that would have charged me up. But, see, that’s the thing! I needed to go to bed, not fuel myself with toxins. So I took a hot bath, had a handful of maple popcorn - don’t judge! - and passed out, in a good way. Woke up feeling refreshed instead of tired and foggy headed which would have been the case if I’d succumbed. I can’t remember the last time I fell asleep like that out of pure exhaustion.
BTW, @RosaCanDo totally hear you on the “want” vs. “need.” Those are words we alckies have used all our drinking lives. Now, we can spin them to the positive. I WANT to work out to day. I WANT to write kickass stuff. I WANT to be sober. See you later!

She’s okay now. Thanks for asking. I think a bug bit her on the back of her neck. We live in a tropical country full of crazy insects. I was a false alarm. I am sorry about that. She is okay now. She’s making homemade pizza for all of us. Tons of cheese and toppings. Thin crust homemade pizza. She’s a tresure to be cherished. Keeps us boys together. She’s kept me sane through the last 30 years. I met her that long ago. I have gone through full blown alcoholism and weed addiction. The weed remains. The alcohol is gone. I panicked. I cannot lose her.

Hey Beth,
I hope you had a successful day yesterday.
Brooks called me yesterday and asked if I would sign at least a 3 month lease, if not a 6. As you know, I was all on board with doing that, until yesterday afternoon when you all came into the office. Not one person who works for you, could simply say hi to me. Then we have your daughter who is now here frequently, that’s worse. Overall, it’s a cold working environment, and I just want out. I do not plan to renew my lease, so you are more than welcome to negotiate with Brooks. As our agreement states, the lease runs due at the end of November and I am fine with you all being here until then, unless I hear from you otherwise. I also will keep my same level of friendliness towards you, as I have nothing against you and actually wished that it worked out for us. I just wanted to let you know where my head is at, so that you have time to either negotiate or plan accordingly.
Beth
Hey there,
Thank you for letting me know. I’ll get in touch with Brooks. I of course prefer that you stay, but understand if you’re not comfortable with it. If Brooks is needing a lease signed, I’m willing to do that. Then you could stay as long as you like without being locked into anything, just a thought.
I’ll keep you posted and you just think on it a few days. I have appointments all morning/afternoon, so I likely will be running in like a mad person right before my 4pm zoom, then I run right back out for a 5pm

Thank you Beth, but I am not staying, and for the reasons why I shared. I don’t know who was here yesterday, but it tipped me over the edge. I also do not like your daughter here. A sales office is no place for a 14 year old, with an absolutely horrible attitude.
Again, you have been very kind and I have nothing against you personally. I just need a positive, energy infused environment and having you all here, does not create that.

always a pleasure to follow your journey 
Man you’re not kidding! That is one of my favorite parts of sobriety.
Weekends seem so much more relaxed and stress-free because I don’t have to plan everything around the next drink and figuring out how to get the most drunk. Not to even mention the money I’ve saved…
