Checking in daily to maintain focus #24

Hey Franzi! Did you tackle that wallpaper job? I haven’t done my painting project yet - got sidetracked, but hey - there’s always 2021! :laughing:

I am still waiting for an answer from my landlord if she wants it to be done. So I keep fingers crossed. I will ask her again on Saturday. I still have to figure out a somewhat manipulative sentence as it is really better w/o wallpaper. :wink: On the 11th I will get the keys for my new apartment and start the painting there. I am so glad that I got paint before the lockdown…

DAILY RESOLUTIONS
The idea of “twenty-four-hour living” applies primarily to the emotional life of the individual. Emotionally speaking, we must not live in yesterday, nor in tomorrow.

— AS BILL SEES IT, p. 284
A New Year: 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes — a time to consider directions, goals, and actions. I must make some plans to live a normal life, but also I must live emotionally within a twenty-four-hour frame, for if I do, I don’t have to make New Year’s resolutions! I can make every day a New Year’s day! I can decide, “Today I will do this . . . Today I will do that.” Each day I can measure my life by trying to do a little better, by deciding to follow God’s will and by making an effort to put the principles of our A.A. program into action.

And the award for biggest watch goes to… :rofl:

Day 129.

This is how my head works at the minute. Due to start work at 8am, saw there was a call coming in and got annoyed at it. Then was getting pissed off as I got a message to say who it was and what it was in relation to. Started giving out in my head about it, went through the conversation in my head.

The conversation didn’t go like that and everything was fine. Really should have organised it better so I had a break over Christmas. The 28/29 and 30th were all treated as normal working days this year (usually have to keep holidays and everyone sis off bar one in each day as emergency cover)

I told the team to book them if you want to and I’ll cover the days anyway. Probably take a week or two at the end of January start of Feb.

So no drama this morning apart from in my head :rofl: :rofl:

Checking in on day 37!!! I have not checked in since around day 28/29, but I’ve been sober and busy with the holidays. I almost relapsed on Sunday but luckily my daughter dropped my phone in the toilet and I wasn’t able to get a new one until late Tuesday. By the time I got my new phone all I could think was how great it felt to be able to pay for a new phone because I did not buy pills. I have money saved and to spend and even though everyday is not perfect I feel like I’m living my best life. @apes2020 that video was awesome thank you for sharing. 2020 has been a shit show but it also brought a lot of good to my life. We all had to slow down a little and take a good look at ourselves and that’s never easy but extremely necessary to grow in life. As the year comes to an end I feel like I’m not even the same person, I feel like the old Briella is going to stay in 2020 and new me has arrived. I want to give a huge thanks to this forum, you are all so supportive and inspirational. One day at a time, because today is all we really have so why not make it the best day possible. Love and blessings to you all!!! Happy New Year’s sober beautiful people! :tada::confetti_ball:

Checking in on day 4. I wish everyone a quiet and sober start into the new year 2021 leaving a very strange 2020 behind. I often have to think back to last new years where I celebrated completely sober with a bunch of drunk family members. It felt good and that’s what I’m aiming for today again.
Happy quiet sober celebration for all you fine people on here :tada::confetti_ball::sparkles::pray::heart:
