Checking in daily to maintain focus #28

  1. Very early coffee as I’m going to drive a couple of hours to the north to take my bestie to her rather early appointment with her doctor for her autoimmune stuff. Thank god and all of you for being clean and sober or it would be torture to get out of bed and get going. Now it’s just early. Have as good week as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.

Day 7, here we go…

Had an awesome day yesterday. Had breakfast with a few close friends and told them about my sobriety. They were almost overly supportive lol. I’m lucky to have them.

Spent the evening watching tv with my wife, glued to the couch, sucking down sparkling waters. It was a little easier, but still tough. Still takes a lot of focus to not go out and buy something (and I understand it’ll probably be that way for a while). I’ve found 5-8pm are particularly hard. Thats the time I usually lurk around on here and talk to my wife. She’s also been so supportive.

Slept better last night than I have since I stopped, although I woke up drenched in sweat (much to my wife’s dismay lol).

Anyways, feeling really positive and thankful and better than I have in a long long time.

Day 100.
Thankful but very worried about my brother who has just been diagnosed with cirrhosis and has decided not to go to rehab.
The situation with him has more than ever given me the drive to not pick up.
I’m not sleeping much or eating because of the stress of it and I can’t work because I’m teary as well. This too shall pass, is what I’m saying to myself.

Day 266.
Early morning check-in (had to tuck in last night) before a busy week starts.
Happy that I had a gentle little sober weekend, that I can tend to difficult things in life without drinking.
Happy that I’m behind on TS posts and a few household chores but well-rested, instead of waking up with a hangover (and all the stuff that comes with it - shame, headache, inability to focus, etc.)

I’m not happy that I missed so many celebrations!

@Lisa07 1.5 years! you are a bright and shining star to me. thank you for being here. and congrats!

@Dolse71 lotsa days right there… :wink:

@OfTheNorth 42 days is 7 weeks! I hope you are proud!

@Teammeyer2021 and @Stupidrummer that first week is a huge deal. I hope you are proud too!

@Bill1 and so is 30 days a big huge deal. congrats to you!

@Dazercat - yep, I’m with @C_8… 456.78 pleeeeease? (I was plotting for 234.56 but that was the exact same day the new app roll out happened. For a short while - I had no numbers! I thought it would be a little me-centred to whine about it to Robin :laughing:)

Off to go to do this Monday thing. Have a fine day, friends. :orange_heart:

Day :two::one::eight: This morning my daughter went back to school. We had a very nice month. It was very valuable to spend a full time sober with my daughter. No alcohol, no regrets, no embarrassment, what more could I want? :slight_smile::v:

Checking in at the end of day 78.
It’s not just one more than 77, it’s another complete day of sobriety. I absolutely love it.
I went on the trip today. Lots of kids doing lots of fun outward bounds activities. It was great. It occurred to me halfway through the day though, that I have rarely done days like today sober. Ordinarily if I had known that I had a day of reduced responsibility, I would have done it hungover having smashed it the day before. Every single time.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :sleeping::zzz:
