Checking in daily to maintain focus #24

Oh, my heart is breaking for you. I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. I do know that you sound good and healthy. You’ll get through this, and your sobriety will give you the strength you need. Sending love and prayers your way :heart:

Day 195.
Heading into another week tomorrow. I’m trying to stay focused on today while preparing for some stressful work things and life things in the week ahead, but this always seems to get my head into tomorrow and the days after that. I used to be so good at trying to drink away tomorrow’s stress before tomorrow even arrived! Sure, I may have to do some preparing for my tomorrows, but “being here now”, today - this is the stuff of sobriety, or at least what keeps me sober.

Lots going on in this thread too, let alone the world. Sending out love and light.
G’night all. We added another sober day to our collections today. I’m sure we each have another in us tomorrow. :orange_heart:

Checking in on day 51. Feeling a new level of acceptance regarding alcohols impact in my life and why it’s so important that I keep putting my recovery first. Get use to me guys… I’m not going anywhere. :purple_heart::purple_heart::purple_heart:

Things you accomplish because you are clean/sober… Assembling stuff :joy: previously I would of never had attempted to assemble this fan. I would of looked on line for a pre assembled fan and paid four times as much… Today I successfully put together a fan straight from the box and I couldn’t be prouder of myself :trophy: sober life = productive life! :tada:

Day 44 checking in! Low key Sunday for me. I am really proud of my brother in law. He hit 1000 days alcohol free today. And my sister is a couple days ahead of him! It’s inspiring that they both stopped drinking. We used to party together a lot, but my family is really turning more toward not drinking. We still have an awesome time together though! Even better without booze.

420 Days: Still taking on life one day at a time. Mindful of my emotions, keeping my ego small, doing my best to think of others before I think of myself, grateful for every sober day I’ve had!

  1. Coffee and back to work. Yesterday I hurt my lower back getting into my cycling tights. So instead of having a ride I spent the rest of the day lying on the couch with Luna which is nice too but not what I had planned. Hate getting older. And it did give me a small craving, remembering how booze relaxes the muscles a bit but probably I was just wanting to get wasted.
    Anyway, my back doesn’t seem as bad as last time when this happened and I’m good enough to work I feel. Sober and clean. Have as good a week as you all can friends.The pic is from last night. Love from Luna and me.

2nd check in today… I’m in my apartment this afternoon, blinds down, lights off, fan on, 3 cold showers already, its 39 degrees at 5pm and I can feel my blood boiling :joy: im so glad that I’m clean because if I was not I would probably be in hospital from hyperventilation or some heat stroke evoked event :grimacing:… On a brighter note, ATTENTION ALL WOMAN- sex and the city is returning!!! Not reruns, actually new series!!! 2021 you have provided :tada::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::heart: this is epic.

Oh man. That sucks Menno. Although it would have sounded better if you had said you hurt your back lifting your 100 pound or 45 K bicycle :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:. It’s the darndest thing the way you can hurt your back though. I did it once picking up dog poop :persevere:. Lots of ice on that back when you can.
Funny thing. I’m sitting here on an ice pack on my back before bed :persevere: kind of sore from taking down the Christmas tree. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
