Checking in daily to maintain focus #26

Checking in at the end of day 50.
50 full days, including 7 full weekends. Incredible. It has taken ages to get here, but Iā€™m loving the view.
Found out that a couple of close friends, who I have drank a lot with in the past and who drink every single day, are 7 days sober today. We had a chat about how great sobriety is about 10 days ago and they have bought in. I think that I feel about as happy about that as I do about my half century.
Have got a lot on in work but I am really enjoying it and hungry to get it done instead of avoiding it and just getting out of my head.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :sleeping::zzz:

I have been so busy, and have missed sooo many milestones and dont think I could possibly catch up. That being said, it doesnt change how amazed I am by each person on TS. Your stories, successes, pains, excitment, and the personal tests you all face give me so much courage and strength everyday. You are all so beautiful! Day 50 today for me. I am so amazed and fucking PROUD to post that today.

Big love to you all!

Day 168: Working on a sour mood this morning. Itā€™s a strange way to wake up from a restful sleep, or maybe it wasnā€™t as restful and thatā€™s the culprit? I find myself getting irritated by little things and then mostly just irritated at myself. I think Iā€™m feeling stagnant. Probably could do with some reading to occupy my mind today. :heartpulse:

Checking in on day 409.

Monday. Had a okay workday. But overall a pretty below okay day. Talked negative to myself. About myself. Had cravings. And now because of the house I still share with my ex Iā€™m forced to talk to her about the new electric bill that came in. EVERY TIME I see her name or chat with her my heart starts beating real fast.
She is every reason TO drink for me. The shit she did to me I canā€™t even begin to type it all. I am so glad I went through the breakup sober but man right now I need my sobriety and recovery more than ever.
Also Iā€™m super stoked about the sale of that stupid house. In a few months we can sign the last few documents and sheā€™s sold.
Se there is a light at the end of this break up tunnel.

I still amaze myself and my therapist every time I see her with my ability to stay sober on my own with all the break up stuff that has happened.

My recovery in general is from my alcohol addiction and the toxic and abusive relationship I had with my ex.

But heyā€¦ life is better now.

Today is a good day to be sober!!
Thanks for reading my crap and have a great monday!

Checking in sober. With major back pain. Looks like Iā€™ll be laid up in bed today. I didnā€™t do anything!! Actually I was getting up out of my chair to go to my chiropractor appointment I do every other week and OUCH! :tired_face: my back spasmed. How fortunate I was heading to my chiropractor. Looks like Iā€™ll be seeing him a lot in the next few days.
At least Iā€™m sober and have no desire to drink the pain away. Although a muscle relaxer could be nice :face_with_raised_eyebrow:. But I donā€™t have any doctors that prescribe things like that for me. Never have.
Itā€™s a great day to be sober folks.
:pray:t2::heart:
