Checking in Daily to Maintain Focus #22

Good for you for resisting. That first weekend back at it is a challenge, especially this time of year. Sounds like you handled it well

Day 281~ Its been a challenging few days. I’m sick and just not feeling like myself. I’ve had a lot of time to lay around and just think. Not always a pleasant thing for me because once my mind starts going it doesn’t stop. I was thinking tonight about how some people really can be so judgmental. It’s so not fair to just judge someone without really knowing them. People do it all the time though. I know I personally get judge on many things… my looks, my body, my living situation… the list goes on. I started my adult life being judged. I was young; only 18 when I got married and had our daughter… people always judged us. It’s like I always had to prove myself to someone. People still judge but you know what I really don’t give a shit. Peoples opinions and ideas on how I should live my life do not matter. I’m not living my life for anyone else but myself. It’s taken a long ass time to get to that place. Being comfortable in my own skin and making decisions based on what I want and not what people will think is something I don’t think I fully would have done had I not gotten sober. It’s just another blessing and perk from ditching the booze.

I hope everyone is safe, sober, and well. And remember someone is always fighting a battle you have no clue about. Try not to be judgy it really doesn’t benefit anyone.

I’ve heard it said that when you don’t know what to do be still and don’t do anything and I think that’s what I may need to do. I’m trying to do the right thing for myself for once but I don’t know which way to go so maybe I should just lay low like the doc wants me too for the week and let the answers come.

Oh Rob! I think you already know… if you lay low and carve out some time and space, the answers will come, like you say. I know you’re eager to get on with work and making a sober life for yourself, but I think your body’s telling you it’s okay to take a breather! You’ve been working so hard - at work, and on your recovery - maybe just let that body catch up to you and your amazing 171 days…

I’d be willing to bet there’ll be another opportunity, one that works out better too…

And super huge thanks for your support yesterday Today went much better. I could hear you cheering me on from the stands.

Sweet dreams and sound sleep to you. Big love to my big bro!

Goodnight! And I meant to thank you for the other post - and the (not small) clarification between oxygen and air, lol! That seems like something worth splitting hairs over when it comes to scuba diving. Keep us all posted on your plans for the Red Sea - we can look forward to more videos.!

[M-be-free49]

Amazing! Thank you for the gift of you. Here. With 500 days.

Better than yesterday. Thanks again for giving me a boost, @Mno, @Jennajen and @Rockstar24777 - and all of you just by being here.

Big welcomes and welcome backs to @FeelingBetter, @Sanuk, @Yomomma, @Joyce19 - and anyone I’m forgetting, by accident!

I’m gonna tuck in now, celebrating you and your milestones (@Lilemm! @CATMANCAM!) and another sober day for us all.

It feels soooooo good to play for the winning team
G’night all.

532. Coffee. Working weekend. Dinner dates today and tomorrow. Next weekend is already booked too. I should be a bit careful with all this socializing. Not used to it. But also looking forward to it. Clean and sober. Have a good weekend all! Love from Amsterdam.
     PS. It’s not great to finish work at sunset but it does give me some nice sights on my way home.

So far so good, except for the nicotine induced insomnia.

[FeelingBetter]

Yay for four! I can relate to the insomnia, but mine seems to just be life-induced

[Bears515054]

It will be okay Hoyer is a good GM

Hope springs eternal

Checking in on day 6.
I had a very realistic dream of drinking. In my dreams I have been together with some friends, I emptied the whole bottle of wine, felt ashamed, that I have been the only one drinking that much.
I woke up and it took a while to understand, that it jus has been a dream.
