Checking in daily to maintain focus #28

Might have to do multiple check ins today you guys. Even though there’s so many people around the desire to drink is so strong right now. The only thing that’s holding me back from drinking is that I know I’ll start shooting dope again and it’s a complete horror show from there on out. Please pray for strength for me to stay sober. Thanks everyone, love you

Hang in there Rob. I find writing down all the things drugs and alcohol took from my life very helpful. It will turn your life into a total shit show. You don’t want to go back to that life. Sending you lots of strength and love to get through this. Stick it out, you know it will pass.

Here I am again too far behind to catch-up. I’ve just been really overextended. Getting barely any sleep. I really think we need more than 24 hours in a day. Sheesh. I worked until after midnight last night and didn’t get to bed until round 3pm as I had stuff to do. Today I slept crazy late, yay. I’m now getting ready to work ahead on my next and LAST CCIM class. I can’t believe how quickly that time flew by. It’s completely changed my business. Off I go… happy Sunday TS warriors :muscle::heartpulse:

489 Days: Been a while since I’ve checked in on here, but I’ve been reading a lot on here today so figured I’d check in.

It’s been a crazy month or so for sure. Winter just doesn’t want to end, it’s snowing pretty good right now. The anticipation of having a normal summer not being consumed by Covid just makes this winter seem even longer.

I’ve taken adderall for the last 5 years, prescribed and never abused, but I don’t like being reliant on pills. It has definitely served it’s purpose, but with the sobriety I’ve gained I felt like it was time to stop, so I did. It’s been a month now, some bad headaches, lack of energy at the start, but it finally feels like I’m getting it out of my system. Feels so good to be off of that. No more meds for me!

This morning all this snow and cold had finally gotten to me. So this Saturday I’m flying to Scotsdale, Arizona for four days of warm weather, sunshine, pool time and good food. I have to admit when I was booking my stay at the resort the pictures of alcohol and warm weather definitely caused me to pause, but the last thing I want is to ruin a truly relaxing getaway with alcohol. I don’t want it and I definitely don’t need it.

Feels good having something to look forward to!

Day 73. My girlfriend and I went deep into the mountains knowing it was gonna snow heavily but didn’t care. We just wanted to have fun and explore. And of course I got some really cute photos before a huge white out happened lol also thankfully we made it back home. The roads got super bad quickly where we were. :upside_down_face:

Enjoy the sun Chris, by February I always question my sanity and reasoning for living somewhere that snows so much and can be bitterly cold ( I am reminded by the lack of super scary bugs). I did a trip in January and found that sticking to my soda water with lime worked well and I never felt like I was missing out.

@OfTheNorth @Soundlab Well done! Beating a personal milestone is the best feeling, I think!

@Rockstar24777 Hang on in there, we are all rooting for you.

@AdvntrLane Looks cool! (What is that pink smoke thing?)

A day of washing, work-stuff, and a few bits and bobs. The peace I feel when I am alone is so wonderful, there was a time when I feared being alone because it meant I would have to fight against the desire to drink. Now I can just enjoy it.

Day 309. Made it through the 1st day of my trip sober. There were some temptations, for sure, but I’m going to sleep tired, sober and happy. Hope everyone had a good day!

Day 176 alcohol/day 50 smoking. It’s been a much needed quiet weekend. Headed to bed early so I can get a good start on this week. Sleep well, my fellow soberians!

At the end of day 120 … four months … I think I can say that making it to this day has been pivotal for me. The 90-120 day stretch has been the most difficult for me by far. I do feel different today though. I have survived. I have walked through the fire. I won today, and I will win again tomorrow.
