Checking in daily to maintain focus #20

It’s good you have acknowledged it before it’s gotten outta hand. Just sit down and write out a list of what it is you need to do to fix these hiccups and slowly tackle the list one by one… Talk to boss confidently, review school work and make study plan etc… Just do it one by one and know the out come you want and don’t settle for less. Have reason and be confident in your projection :grin: you got this!

day 185… It’s Friday :grin:… I woke up so many times last night while I was sleeping, maybe because I watched a bunch of Halloween films before bed :joy::jack_o_lantern::japanese_ogre:. Note to self - there are no monsters under the bed. Maybe in the closet but they couldn’t fit coz I have so many clothes hanging in there lol :joy: … Happy Friday y’all :trophy:

Can you sit down with everyone and have a one on one and let them know how your truly feeling?

Checking in today, ready to start the weekend! I. Just exhausted today for some reason, kind of in a bit of mood too, not sure why. I will get over it though I’m sure. I hope everyone is having a happy sober day!

I am officially one whole week clean!!! It feels like an eternity!
So, I found out today that I apparently have quite a bit of pent up agression…:grimacing:. My mom got a punching bag a few years back, and so I figured I needed the exercise. I was at it for two hours! My hands kinda hurt, but that’s my fault because I over did it.
What surprised me most about it is, I am a very gentle person. I like being nice. So I have no idea where all of that agression came from, but I’m glad I took it out on something inanimate😆.
Anyways, its been a hard and long week and I couldnt have done it without you guys! Thank you all so much fo being so kind and welcoming to me!

Way to go!!! It was great seeing your comments this week. Sounds like you need some boxing gloves! Keep at it, it is a great, healthy outlet.

Thank you! My mom has some boxing gloves, but they arent the giant mitten ones. They are just padded fingerless gloves.

Ha ha! Sweat is just your body expelling toxins, I like to think it’s even mental toxins!

Man I think you’re ok. My therapist, no matter how much I beg or ask what’s wrong with me I feel so off this that and cry. Will not prescribe me a damn thing, I took every medicine in the book for my anxiety, paxil, venflaxazine, prozac, Zoloft, welbutrin, aderal. He told me he wanted me to take nothing so that he can actually diagnose me. That taking the medication was going to alter any growth. Some days I thank him for it, some days I hate him. Some days I have anxiety some I don’t. I’m growing tho I do know that, you see my ups and downs, that’s life. Exercise and just be easy on yourself. Take it one day at a time, my therapist said at one year sobriety we will decide what and if I need anything.

Well congratulations on a full week! You are doing great :grin: The punching bag thing sounds fun, just hope your hands feel better lol Things like that can certainly help when you are having a tough day. I am very glad you are finding support in the group though, look forward to chatting more and seeing those days stack up for both of us!
