Checking in daily to maintain focus #29

McDonalds always sounds good to me! 12 years old! I hope he has a good day!

Iā€™m only a couple of months in. Sometimes it gets harder than others but Iā€™m really glad to have my family back on my side ā€¦Iā€™ve been in rehab four times prison in and out of jail and it seemed hopeless for a while but Iā€™m glad to see thereā€™s other people out there in the world that are struggling with the same things than I am

day 5.

Woke up at 10.30am. Iā€™m OK with that coz I didnt fall asleep till about 3am. I went out for a walk about the shops today because I actually felt like myself today for the first time in a while. My head foggyness is gone. I dont feel like sleeping all day. I have had ZERO moments of anxiety today which is wow yay wow :joy: the weather here today is just perfect. Its warm , clear blue Skyā€™s and autumn leaves everywhere. Its a spring in my step kinda day. And Iā€™m grateful for itā€¦ I think Iā€™m going to take myself out to see a film tonightā€¦ I want to see nomadland, the one that won the Oscar for best film?? I will head into the city to see it and then go to my favorite Italian place to get spaghetti for dinner :pray: no urges to use at all today so thatā€™s a win for today :tada:

Day 243

Happy Walpurgis eve everyone.
Today is the Swedish holiday Walpurgis even, its a pagan holiday. And has been celebrated in Sweden like forever.
We celebrate that itā€™s getting brighter, that the light returns and that itā€™s the end on the winter season.

Normally we gather at huge bonfires, listening to choirs with only men (menā€™s choir if thatā€™s even a real English word? It is in Swedish :joy:) and lit fireworks to scare evil powers and demons away. To keep the animals safe, because in the old days they where released out from their barns at this time a year.

And tomorrow the 1st of May, the workers day. Where I live itā€™s a tradition to have fika outdoors for the first time during the year if the weather is nice.

Everything is canceled because of Covid-19 ofc. But the Village where I come from recorded a concert with all the songs last year, which I plan to watch tonight. And I will use Chromecast for digital bonfires and fireworks as well.

Today me and my husband also celebrates 10 years as a love couple. On this day 10 years ago we decided that we wanted to be more than friends. Because as you guys know, I married my best friend. The towns gangsta :joy: (yes for real)

Unfortunately, I suck on dates so I had forgotten that. My husband asked if we should have something extra special for dinner today. I was like, I guess we can. Itā€™s Walpurgis so weā€™ll make something spring themed. And then he had to remind me that it was an anniversary too :joy:

Pa is still very sick, I talked to my Ma yesterday and he was worse when I talked to her.

This morning my brother called, he and his girlfriend had tested positive for Covid-19 too. Theyā€™ve got a boy who is 1,5 years old and sheā€™s pregnant so they where worried ofc.

But I still feel very hopeful about the future. Canā€™t help it, thatā€™s what Walpurgis does.

Happy Springtime everyone. :cherry_blossom:

  1. Coffee. Finishing my first week holiday, another week to go. Evaluated the first third of group therapy yesterday. It was a fruitful session and I feel good about it. Progress is slow and tedious, 10 steps forward 9 steps back, but progress is made nonetheless. That goes for all of us in the group of 7 and thatā€™s excellent to see and experience. One day at a time. Sober and clean. For me the combination with being here and sharing works really well I feel. Thereā€™s a fertile interaction going on in my head and soul. Thank you all so much. Love from Amsterdam where I need to get a new basil plant although and because this one has cute little flowers.

    @burk123 Welcome Will! Glad to have you aboard. Indeed the sense of togetherness, the feeling of not being alone and have like minded folks around who know the deal, is what has made this place so great and important for me. Hope it can be for you too!
    @Wakikki Happy you made it through the night! If you made it through day one, you can make it through day two too. Yes you can. Success.
    @apes2020 Glad to see you doing better April.
    @Beforemy30s Passed the two week mark already A! An A+ for you! Congrats.
    @MrsOdh Good things and bad ones Sophia. Life is life. Congrats on your anniversary and a happy Walpurgis to you en yours. Hugs.
    @Freeyourmind Vijf maanden Bart! Dat is enorm! Gefeliciteerd!
    @zzz Happy for you. Wish it happened here too.

I preferred Sound of Metal. Or The Father. Anthony Hopkins did the best acting Iā€™ve ever seen. And The Chicago 7 was great! And Promising Young Woman.
