Checking in on day 420 from bed :man_facepalming:
My back is still killing me. It doesnā€™t hurt when I donā€™t move. So thatā€™s good. Maybe I shouldnā€™t have walked the dogs yesterday :thinking: Went to my chiropractor this am. I guess Iā€™m blessed that I can be a bum and lie in bed all day. :crazy_face: I mean I can get up and walk, make lunch, help with dinner. But thatā€™s probably about all I should do. Got my little Sancho by my side. Iā€™m so fucking bored!! Iā€™ll be better tomorrow.
Iā€™m not drinking today to kill the pain and I wonā€™t drink tomorrow. And Iā€™m grateful for all my blessings.
Yā€™all stay sober out there ok!
:pray:t2::heart:

199 days no alcohol.
167 days no cocaine.

Had an urge to go for a walk this morning so I did that early on and enjoyed it. The pain is just part of the process and ice feels good after.

Then attended zoom support group, I never say much but it was good to connect with the others.

Itā€™s the final session of DBT skills group tomorrow morning, may apply for MBT afterwards but will research it some more first.

Went for my 5pm walk as usual, that was nice too, now Iā€™m icing my feet again trying to numb the pain.

It has been nice to eat real food today and to not have any negative emotions attached to what Iā€™ve eaten. This is a well needed break/reset before approaching the diet for what I hope will be the last time :pray:t2:

Itā€™s the middle of the day and Iā€™m in my fucking bed. Why? Because I know if Iā€™m literally anywhere else I will end up drunk. It took everything in me not to get in my truck and drive to some far-away place this morning. But I didnā€™t do it. Instead, I left work early and Iā€™m here. Some days, I really hate this stupid marriage of mine. I regret it often. I feel like Iā€™ve ruined my life and Iā€™ll never be able to undo itā€¦ just one reason why I want to drink, because I want a break from FEELING LIKE THIS. More later, Iā€™m sure. This app is literally all I have in this moment. I hate my life today.

Oh man, Iā€™m so sorry you feel like that today. I totally get why youā€™d want to, itā€™s our knee jerk go to move. Do anything else but; you know youā€™d feel so shitty tomorrow. And donā€™t let that be the reason; youā€™re bigger than this situation. I know easier for me to say but itā€™s just not worth it.
Hang in there, buddy.

Youā€™re here, youā€™re sober, right now thatā€™s all that matters. Think about your marriage later. While still sober. Which you are. You probably think different, but youā€™re doing really well friend. One day. one crave, one breath at a time.

A reminder to myself. As my sober journey continues, I need to be mindful of how my actions and words touch people.

Good evening everyone. Since a number of people were nice enough to ask me, Iā€™ve finished my little video on my trip to Egypt, and Iā€™ve posted it on Youtube. Here is the link.


Itā€™s still kind of believe that I was really there ! You see it all so often on television and in movies, itā€™s hard to imagine the reality of those bloody huge pyramids and temples and all the rest.
Anyway, I hope that - for anyone who cares to watch it - you like it. Sorry that there isnā€™t more footage in the Valley of the Kings, but you arenā€™t allowed to bring in a proper camera, just your cell phone.
Goodnight all.
