Oh yeah.
I say that to people all the time : stop thinking, start acting.
Mood follows action.
My life took the best turn when I finally started to stop thinking about sobriety and just started to do the work.
Just take one damn step at a time.

Day 17
Im spending a lot of time to muting the voices and trying to change my thoughts about booze into the many possibilities that are now open to me. An image of taming a wild horse comes to my mind. Thoughts are going to every direction, changing my mood every day and sometimes every hour, have to be tamed and controlled by me again.
Good eve everyone!

Thatās right shake it off, all we truly have and can truly know is ourselves. They donāt make bunkbeds for caskets so we must march our own path. Congrats on 114 Beardy.

83 days.
Itās been raining here all day today. I did a very short walk before Zoom group therapy, and after a slightly longer one, trying not to overdo it whilst I wear these orthotic insoles in, they actually are really helping with minimising pain whilst walking, but Iām still struggling during and after rest, but itās not so bad really, Iām finding a peace with it.
I am struggling with thoughts of Xmas. I feel so inadequate this time of year, as this will be the 2nd year in a row that I canāt afford to buy gifts for people, and Iām always the weird awkward single one, while everyone else in my family is married with children and extremely successful and wealthy, and without mental and physical illnesses. Most of the time Iām okay with my solitary isolated and introverted existence, but holidays really have a way of making me feel lonely and worthless.
DBT tomorrow, the first session of the āEmotional Regulationā module. Then, the weekend again. My group therapy group have started a WhatsApp and this time of the week everyoneās asking what we all have planned for the weekend, Iām totally okay with how boring I might seem in my responses

But Iāll go tonight and talk to my sponsor about whatās going on. I should of already been reaching out to him once I felt this funk hit. But Iām a stubborn ass of course and throw my ego and pride in the way

Checking out on day 760. Feeling much better inside today. Found some inner peace again which arose also from talking to several people /friends yesterday and today. Today I spoke to colleagues and I was checking my perception and theirs. This gave me some kind of, okay, the whole process went wrong and not as it should have but for now at least I have to let go of fighting, my ego as I can only lose.
Had the MRI this morning and was lucky to have an appointment for physical therapy on Monday morning. Still I cannot figure out from my symptoms what is wrong with my shoulder or vertebral column. Only inner rotation hurts and feels stiff. Strange.
Then, what is really disturbing for me atm, talked to a good friend and she seems to be completely fix into some kind of conspiracy theory, end of democracy. 
I went silent. This is something I cannot relate to and as she only spoke of that it somehow poinsend the conversation as she was clearly seeking for āyeah, I agreeā.
Bonne nuit and a sober Thursday evening all 
And closed loop working again.

Maybe delete your account. When you feel cravings for tiktok, come on to TS and just read around, thereās probably some 500,000 posts on here, so it will take some time to get through them all. Maybe also delete YouTube/Reddit/twitch since they can be a pain in the ass when trying to quit something like tiktok. And I know itās very hard. I find it incredibly hard to quit YouTube since Iām not even close to a high rock bottom, but it does have the ability to do so.
How about we start a timer together. You for tiktok, I for YouTube, that way we can keep eachother accountable

Been working on my business. Feeling proud of myself for taking the plunge and learning the systems by taking action. Fear had me paralyzed for months. Iām tired of living in fear. Iāve been reconnecting with God and just navigating who I am as a person. Iāve cut out TV time by ALOT too and have been attached to my kindle. Iāve got to make this build up of my 2nd year of sobriety worth something. The 1st year was laying the foundation. The 2nd year is actualizing.

Wtf Mike.
Two years sober Iām still not financially secure, I struggle to get myself out most days to run or cycle. Iām no further forward on my mortgage
But Iām sober. Thats the most important thing in my life.
For that I am happy! For that I will walk around with a big fucking smile on my face whilst I have no money in my pocket!
Because itās 1000% better than where I was.
Gratitude my friend, works wonders. And I bet your girls love it.
