we have 24 hours a day to define the person we want to be unfortunately not everyone has read the script but we can only control our own reactions. Iāve never had a fight in my life and the other day I really wanted to have a go at some bloke who pissed me off, my mind was saying go follow him punch him in the face and walk off, my mouth just wished him a good day. Your doing amazing BTW, I love watching your journey and commend you on your openness and honesty. Take care

Checking in sober, Day 348. While it is 17 days until Iāll have gone a year alcohol free, it was a nice reminder to see this badge appear this morning. It was a year ago today that I joined this community and began my new life!! Thanks, everyone, for all the love and support this past year!!!

29 days behind me. Starting the day in a bit of a sad funk. Going about my regular Sunday routine. Hope to pop out of it at some point. Trying to figure out what may be the cause. Starting the day AF and I will end it the same way.

Congrats on your graduation!! WOOT WOOT!! 
So proud of how far you have come. HOLY SHIT! I cant believe that happened to you! I am so glad you have support and people around caring for you and also us here at TS. Nobody deserves violence. I agree with @Conor689908 that it sounds like your mom has some serious cobwebs in her closet she needs to deal with. I heard this saying āOnly hurt people hurt people.ā I hope she can get some help. Its not fair to you. You are putting in the work!! I am beyond proud of you!! Sending you lots of love today!

#26 down. Got my step son, taking him on a roadtrip to see some sights today. Wouldnāt be able to do that if i drank last night. My friends invited us over for games, i declined due to headache (not alcohol related which sucks) and able to have a good day today!

This past week I had a similar reflection. Then I thought about this: do you remember when I started my journey to sobriety and switched the thought of ānot drinkingā into a choice to be better, sober? Like, instead of going into the restriction (not drinking) I chosed to give myself something (all things that come with sobriety). Anyways, in the same idea that brain works better with positives commands versus negative (ex: āI want to be sober and do things to feel betterā = positive; instead of āI want to not drinkā= negative), I realized that with introspection and reflections it is basically the same : sometime I want to not overthink too many things, but at the same time I am not intentionnaly choosing anything else that I want to think about, so it doesnāt work. I realized I have to nourish and take care of my mental places, I have to nourish the ideas I want to invest in my head and in my heart. What do I want my internal life to look like? Where do I want to go in my head when I am alone? What would I like it to be in my imaginary places, my safe zone that I can always go back to? If I donāt intentionally choose what I want as a cognitive space, I would always be going either in to automatic ones I go or into the fight of not wanting to think about some things. I donāt know if Iām clear thereā¦ but we choose our mental environment like we choose our actions. If we can choose to be sober and nourish our actions towards our goals, we can do the same for our internal experience, and take care of that place which is, in the end, the place we live everyday by ourself.
Hope youād find some peace.
