Checking in daily to maintain focus #26

Your post just reminded me I had a beer dream. SO and I were out eating somewhere and we each had a beer. Oddly, I didn’t drink mine. I remember looking down and it was full. SO doesn’t drink in real life, so he never would even have a beer. Glad you refrained. Beer tastes gross anyway. :rofl::rofl:

Greatly appreciated @Dazercat thank you.

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 175.

I’m planning on staying this way,no matter what.
And I really want to thank each one of you for being here for me when I needed y’all.

Honestly I’m thinking of leaving this app and deleting my account. Not because I plan to relapse, or because I don’t want to be here.

But because there’s still a lot of things going on in my life, and I’m planning to put all my focus on making it better. And eventually hopefully being able to create the lifestyle I’m dreaming about.

I don’t and won’t have enough time being here, it goes longer and longer between my check in, or checking at all.

To all of y’all, keep being the amazing people you are. :heart:

You take care Sophia. And do what you have to do. I’d say don’t delete, just don’t come here for as long as you want to. Might even be forever. But that’s just me. Big hugs, will miss you friend. :kissing_heart:

You’ll be missed. I hope the situation with tweenie gets better. It’s sounds incredibly stressful and draining but you’re strong enough to overcome it.

Sophia, I know you will do what’s best for you. I hope to still see you here. Whatever you decide…just stay sober. You are SO worth it.

Day 148. It’s also been 22 days since I stopped smoking. I got to spend some time with my family yesterday, which was really nice. I woke up early today to start this week’s blog project. No baking today! I’m making a treat from my childhood that I’d completely forgotten about until looking up recipes this past week.

@MrsOdh, I will miss your check-ins, but I completely understand your need to focus your attention on your family and all the things you’re trying to accomplish. Maybe we’ll see you here again. All the best going forward for you!

Keys located, in my partner’s pocket, so it wasn’t even me being absent minded!

Yes I think you’re right. We can put in place healthy habits and behaviours that help to reduce discomfort overall, over time. And help to cope with uncomfortable situations more responsibly. Sobriety is one of those things.

Today, the craziest coincidence happened. I met a client at a property for rent and he was the nicest guy, loved the place and gave me a check. We got to talking and turns out he also got sober. He said I’ve been sober for almost 2 years and I said omg me too! I said I quit in July of 2019 and he was like oh wow me too! He said July 27 will be 2 years for me and I said OMG! Did you just say July 27?! Me too! He said I have my little app I can show you I said me too! We literally had the same TS app and the same exact days sobers off by a couple of hours! There were so many synchronicities between us. He was a gay guy too, such an amazing personality. When I looked at the clock it was 4:44. Like my angel guides were reassuring me that I’m on the right path. I feel so hopeful about this year. Had to share!

@I.cant.We.can Congratulations on 400 days. That is fanfrickentabulous and so are you.
@CATMANCAM Happy to hear that the depression is easing. Sending positive vibes and prayers for it to completely fuck off. I also wish you the best with challenging the physical aspects of smoking. . .you got this.
@Misokatsu It’s amazing how much we can learn from the lil one’s innocence. Made my heart warm and fuzzy hearing she chose you.
@Rockstar24777 Please keep reminding yourself that what you had with her is not what you want and you deserve better. Keep fighting the thoughts as she’s so not worth it but you are. CHOOSE YOU
@MrsOdh It saddens me to hear you’re leaving but I do understand. I pray that you find the peace you deserve and obtain the life you want. Much love girl.

250 days. Battling with edginess for the past couple of days. The littlest things are pissing me off and despite trying to reframe my mind I’m struggling. I haven’t had the best sleep the past few nights and have been waking up from nightmares. When I finally feel like I’m in a good sleep I have been woken up by the girls screaming around. Tonight is my man’s last shift and back to online learning for my stepdaughter tomorrow. Hopefully this will help with the edginess as things return to normal after a week with no routine. I haven’t had this many consecutive days of wishing to drink in a long time. I know drinking won’t help anything but totally desire the temporary escape.

91 days no alcohol. Thanks to everyone for your encouragement. It’s helped me tremendously.

Sometimes a person just needs reassurance that they are better sober, and that makes this journey a lot easier.

Yesterday we had a few family members over for a birthday and I hadn’t seen many of them since I’ve stopped drinking. People noticed I was drinking sparking water and no beer. It felt pretty nice to be in full control and it didn’t go unnoticed.

Happy sober Sunday.
