Checking in on what feels more like steamy stormy summer morning. Weather is just wild lately! Today is my first check up/physical and well women’s exam at the doctor in several years. Probably close to 6 years. I’m pretty anxious, mostly related to that fear of the unknown and the catastrophic thinking traps I get caught up in. Things I’m working on. But my most important promise to myself this year is to keep showing up for myself - that includes taking care of my physical health. And I’ve already had a meeting with the nurse practitioner to “establish care,” and she is lovely. Nothing to be scared about. Knowledge is power. It’ll be okay. Really, Rosa, it will. Hope you all have a solidly sober and fulfilling day!

Happy hump day! Checking in sober, Day 428. Had a good day yesterday, went for a long hike in the woods. It was a mild day, so I also sat outside and read a book on recovery, did some journaling, then did a meditation while sitting on a bench listening to the river. It should be even warmer today so I hope to do it all over again. I did a lovingkindness meditation yesterday, so today I’d like to do forgiveness this time as I know I’m still holding onto some resentments. May we all have a strong, sober day!!!

Des, Thank you. It’s hard even after all these years. I thought I was ok because I’ve felt this grief before but this has been different. I know I’ll be ok. I’m so sorry about Solomon. My daughters name is Reona I had her for 47 minutes of her little life.

Rosa! Thinking about you today! I recall the post when you first started looking and you shared your fear of going in. For me, that usually means I have something on my mind I am worried about a. telling my doc or b. her finding. We are not that scary on healthcare and only have your best interest in our minds! 
I will be holding extra thoughts of health and wellness for you today.

Thank you! I already spilled my guts at my first appointment about my history of alcohol use and mental health issues, got on antidepressants (they’re working!) and so I feel that weight lifted for sure. I have mystery pains that scare me at times…so that’s where my fear lies. But I want to figure it out, so we shall see!!! Thanks again.

Checking in at the end of day 66. 14 hours of mostly looking at a screen today have left me feeling a bit nauseous. I’m just a bit soft.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are. Goodnight.

Day 401. Thanks for all the love everyone, sorry I didn’t respond yesterday. I was recovering from my tattoo, it wasn’t a good idea to do three that big so close together, it definitely hurt and knocked my body down big time lol. I’ll be ok just definitely drained like crazy. Things are things and life is life, yes I’m doing good I am comfortable, I’m getting things together and having fun with harley and tattoos, but I am slacking on my recovery it’s self a little bit I feel. I haven’t actually had the chance to work on it bc my uncle is up all the traffic in and out and then hanging with my friends, so i haven’t got much me time and time to focus and work on my recovery which can be dangerous. Or maybe I’m just being to hard, i still say my gratitudes try to talk to my higher power the best I can. Idk much love

Checking in. Day 10. Going to start the day off with a 5km walk as it’s spring weather where I live.
The other prep cook I work with at the restaurant quit, so I will have all the hours next month, until June when it closes. I’ll be busy but it will be good and then I can slow down for summer. Enjoy the day everyone!
