Checking In Daily to Maintain Focus #25

It’s Sunday. We are sober. The sun has finally come out in london. Doing a little dance, eating a pastry and makin’ my coffee. Going to have a run after - slow and dreamy. Sending love for getting through Saturday night - I found it HARD, but I know that in the morning the problems look SO different. The lens is sky blue not an abyss!

Good morning everyone. Today is day 1. I relapsed as soon as I got out of inpatient treatment 2months ago. Like many of you, I have been struggling with my disease, and battling my demons for as long as I can remember. All I know is that I’m feeling extremely grateful for God’s grace and mercy. Seeing fit to spare my life, the rest of my days will be spent giving thanks and praise to my higher power for intervening on mybehalf and doing for me what I could never do for myself. Congratulations to those of you celebrating recognizable clean and or sober time, and thank you for creating this beautiful platform for us to utilize to remain focused on our recovery. Good day and God bless.

Wow, that sound like an interesting afternoon you will have. Have fun.

I sometimes am overwhelmednby all the possibilities we have today. Don’t know if it’s always for the better. I think you will take the right decision. Anyway, any decision will be the right one for you. :blossom::pray:

Some people can do it. Most can’t. My Dad was a terrible alcoholic but now he can pour a glass of baileys drink some and go to bed without finishing it.

Chances are if you are here, you can’t do it.

Good day to you what is your DOC if you dont mind and by the way welcome. It can be difficult getting out of rehab your on your own for the first time trying to use the tools you used to get off for the first time. Everyone and everything seems new and it’s coming at you so quick. Your said you were going to praise your higher power and intervening on your behalf. How did your higher power intervene? I’m curious and also God Bless you!

What time is it out there in the UK? you guys still on lockdown ? How you and your son I believe holding up?

Yeah, I fel asleep on the sofa by accident while watching a show. I ended up having a strange dream that woke me up. Now I’m in my own bed, but im having trouble sleeping. I think the not feel good is a result of my allergies (I forgot to take my allergy medication before bed) because I tend to get a lot of post nasel drip that makes me feel nauseous. It doesn’t help that when I wake up like this it makes me feel a bit restless.

Oh I see my wife gets that to also migraines I hate fallen asleep on the sofa or chair I always feel kinked up and aching I’m like take your butt to bed its softer. I hope you feel better!

Crisps what is that? A vegetable?

My drug of choice was whatever was available. If i had to number them from most destructive to least alcohol would be first, then cocaine, then methamphetamines, then Marijuana, then pills. I didn’t discriminate on my usage, and neither does my disease. It doesn’t need drugs to kill me, it could just as well kill me with a fork and a spoon. I will obsess over anything. My higher power gave me the ability to make a choice… when I am actively using the drugs and alcohol make my decisions. When I am using I loose the proper perspective of reality. It’s one thing to recognize that you have a problem, and need help, it’s a totally different ball game to do something about it. Thank you all for sharing with me this morning, and allowing me to share with you
