Checking in daily to maintain focus #27

Checking in. Day 3. It would have been day 60. I’m trying to fight back the dissapointment I feel inside that I don’t have those 60 days to check in with.
But, I’m here. Checking in. It’s something. Have a happy sober Wednesday everyone.

55 days!! A little while back I mentioned I was working on something AMAZING that I didn’t want to share quite yet because my partner is also on the forum. However I already showed her so now I can show you all!!
Today is our one year anniversary as a couple but we’ve been best friends for about 20 years lol so there’s a lot we know about each other and still laugh our asses off at! Basically we have the greatest time together.
Anyways the gift I made her is a video of the past year together and a little throw back of our childhood.

Hey all, checking in on day 262.

I’ve been trying to cut back on caffeine a lot lately…I’m down to less than 1/3 of what I used to drink per day. I’ve noticed that I’ve had extremely vivid dreams every night since I started cutting back. Has anyone else who’s cut back or eliminated caffeine noticed this?

I figured it would be the opposite because I assumed I would sleep better but I also seem to still wake up just as frequently as before.

Day 265 clean and sober today. I was able to see a therapist yesterday and will be seeing him once a week but he said if I need to I can meet with him two times a week if I need to. He is going to be coming up with a plan for me by next week and is going to help me get through this. I love you guys very much thank you for your love and support. :sunglasses::metal:t2:

You’re doing great, Rosa. Slow and steady. Like you said, one day at a time.
I too can feel overwhelmed with all the things I’ve got to set right in my life. There’s a lot! The best thing about being in program is that I get to leave it all up to my HP to guide me to my next task. Breathe. You’ve got time. Take what you need and don’t compare your recovery anyone else’s. Whether six months or six years, all we have is now. It’s ok to turn the stuff outside of our control over to One who can handle it.

Checking in, day 118. I had some mood swings in the last few days, but handled it better than before. I exchanged mails with my father, and he let me know, that nothing has changed from his side, that means he still cannot accept me the way I am. I know that he doesn’t want to hurt me, but I’m not sure if he even tries to accept this situation, or just ignores it, because he is afraid to be hurt himself. Anyway, it made me sad, but that’s his life, he has to deal with it.
Also had some phone calls with my best friend, talked about some issues about a guy she is about to date, I even gave advice, and it hurt a lot less than expected. I think I start getting over it.
So these were a bit challenging, craved drinking too, but I wasn’t devastated over them and I’m glad for that.
