Checking in daily to maintain focus #29

Totally have no idea what you were commenting on but the meme with the lil guy and the drums is awesome. I used to do that a lot like almost anytime i was being a smartbutt.

Jim, I’m sorry it took me so long to reply to you, but I saw your response right away, I just wasn’t ready to write back right then. You really helped me feel better about what I wrote when I was feeling uncertain about putting it all out there like that (even though I knew it was really important for me to do it). Thank you for your kind words and reassuring me of the benefit of my sharing. I really am hoping that it could help someone else be ready for experiencing something like that, especially with all the wonderful people who responded with really great experiences and information and perspectives also. Thanks again.

Hello again, all.
I am giving myself permission to rejoin this amazing community. Have been reading pretty much every day, just not posting. Was sad to see some of the friction that happened and some of the excellent people who decided to leave. Seems to have settled down a bit now. :crossed_fingers:t2:
Am currently reading We are the luckiest, and the chapter about AA and the support that it gave really chimed with me. Feel like I get that here and I’ve been depriving myself of it. No more.
Good to be back. :boom::muscle:t2:

I reckon you best stay up a minute longer to catch the 300.00. I’ll whip up a midnight cake. You shouldn’t have to make your own cake for a celebration.
You go girl !!

Love this idea about journey not the destination. Need to keep that in mind as I’m just off the starting point with mine.

Day 10. Met friends yesterday for park and rounders and I was the only one not drinking. I’d listened to This Naked Mind in the morning in particular a chapter about how it isn’t the alcohol you enjoy in a situation, it is the company and the activity. So yesterday I focused on catching up with friends and making sure I spoke to everyone, the sun on my skin, cold cloudy lemonade and the joy of getting back home and into bed with zero I’ll effects. It was good. One little test done. :heavy_check_mark:

I think @Lisa07 is stalking us. She liked a couple of memes of mine. I don’t usually see her there :thinking:
Or maybe she never liked any of my memes before. :thinking:
She’s popping up more than usual. Better be good.

You crack me up @Dazercat!! I haven’t been on the meme thread in ages and I was running low on my likes. I always left that thread for days when I was feeling down and now I’m noticing I’m not having as many down days. You’ll see me there more often.

Fixed it. I know which one she is. It’s just my big dang fingers. Thanks for the heads up.

Love This Naked Mind. Would have relapsed very early without it. Read it three times in the first few weeks. Working my way through the podcast back catalogue.
