Checking in daily to maintain focus #26

Wow! Congratulations!!

Checking in againā€¦ still feeling ā€œoffā€. Finished work and Iā€™m now heading home. Have a plan in place for what Iā€™m going to do once home to keep me busy. Thinking of HALT right nowā€¦ I am hungry and lonely (sort of)ā€¦ so that could be why I have thoughts of using. Wish I had some Epsom salts for a nice bath tonight. Will check in later on. Hope everyone is doing well in their sobriety right now :slight_smile:

Thought Iā€™d stop by for a check in.
410 days off the sauce.
Weigh in day was great :+1: no gain no loss. Iā€™m maintaining my goal weight even though I caught myself binging over the weekend. I guess it wasnā€™t so bad. And I recognize what I got to work on. Got my workout in.
Pretty fucking boring sober stuff. So I got that going for me.
:pray:t2::heart:

Every day of sobriety is like compound interest for your life.
And your worth it :hugs:
Every One Of You :hugs:

So I need to vent and let some shit out. Faith had texted me that she was having an emotional meltdown and asked if we could talk. Against my better judgement I agreed to meet for coffee. Turns out sheā€™s emotionally breaking down over the fact that sheā€™s drinking again and is having hard times with the guy sheā€™s with. That fucking crushed me to hear because I thought she was working on herself. Anyway Iā€™m feeling like the biggest piece of shit one more time. Iā€™m not going to get loaded but this hurts like a mother fucker and I canā€™t shake the feeling of not being good enough for her at all. I canā€™t do this anymore and I donā€™t know what to do.

If you ever catch yourself thinking you miss the old friends or thinking they maybe changed or are better is some wayā€¦ Just run, I really made a mistake going around these guys. Iā€™m good nothing triggering, just see how much of piece of shits they are.
I went to work on the girls sled, itā€™s at my buddies, none of them have helped me offered any sort of advice. They just leave me there, which is also find Iā€™m not expecting help, but one my friend pat keeps saying, jees or spending alot of time on this, heā€™s literally getting a kick and blast out of seeing me fail. Iā€™m not failing tho, heā€™s just blind and doesnā€™t see how determined I am. Failing would not be trying at all. Then they went to the store quick I asked them to pick me something up. My buddy ernie asked pat, pat said no he can go get it hisself. Its just funny, pat sits there and says I havenā€™t changed a bitā€¦ Iā€™m just SOBER. Fucker everything has changed, Iā€™m a beast now who cares about his two beautiful girls and Is doing everything in his power to put a smile on there face. Iā€™ve changed so much and Iā€™m the best fucking person compared to who I use to fucking be. Iā€™m gonna fuck with the sled for a lil bit longer tomorrow as his place. After that Iā€™m loading it up and bringing it home.

Thereā€™s nothing but truth in that statement, Mike. Donā€™t let them get to you. Your family, yourself and all of us know youā€™re not that old Mike anymore. Youā€™re an amazing son, father and friend!! Your friends are all jealous of the person youā€™ve become while theyā€™re stuck in their old ways. Get your sled out of there as soon as you can. Much love to you!! :heart:

Rob, sheā€™s obviously trying to make you jealous by coming to you with issues sheā€™s having with another guy. Donā€™t fall for her games. You deserve someone thatā€™s going to love you in return the way you should be loved.

Everyone is on their own path/journey. They donā€™t have anything to do with your life anymore. If anything take it as a positive experience, Mike. Youā€™ve grown exponentially! :sparkling_heart:

Hey Rob Iā€™m sorry that sucks a lot. But know that you do matter and you will to someone else that is meant for you. Itā€™s probably best to cut ties it only seems to hurt you every time. I know thatā€™s easier said then done. Hang in there. :yellow_heart:

You know you donā€™t have shit to prove to anyone. You are a changed man for the better. Most times I think people like that are just jealous because they do see the changes. Keep your chin up!

Block her from all avenues to reach you, Rob. That story is over. You have a lot to offer someone!
Hugs sweetie.

Good for you Eric. Maintaining is better than a gain. Like you said you know what you need to do and working out is the most important. :muscle:t3:

Thank you @littlemisschatterbox I appreciate that, just sucksā€¦ I canā€™t believe Iā€™ve been sober for so long through as much emotional shit as I have been. Itā€™s a fucking miracle really.

Thanks @Lisa07 I didnā€™t even think about the making me jealous part. She just texted me and said she loved me but canā€™t be with me. I have to do whatever I have to do to get off this merry go round.

Thanks @Dragonflygirl82, @anon79808082, @littlemisschatterbox and @CapriciousCapricorn that means a lot and youā€™re right. I just blocked her and Iā€™m going to do my best to I guess not love her anymore. What a painful fucking ride for sure. Thanks for letting me vent, itā€™s been awhile lol.
