Checking in daily to maintain focus #30

Day 29 for me. Day off work to make a trip to London for visa applications. Will be drinking coffee and mocktails to mark the occasion rather than wine and feeling happy about it!

Day 10
Started my day feeling grumpy, annoyed and really tired. Last 10 days I was very active and did a lot of workouts, cycled for hours and spend a lot of time with my 4 y/o son. But today I felt like crap. Started of cleaning the house and this helped me to go through my bad mood and do something useful. Then I played some music I like (was alone this morning) and realized I forgot how good it feels to let music fill your house and your being.

I guess I have to find and explore new things to activate my pleasure center in my brains. Another activity which helps with that is my little garden and growing some edible plants. Nice to take care of them and watch them slowly grow.

Hey all, today is a pretty big day as I check in on day 334…it’s officially :one::one: Months for me! I can’t believe it.

I want to thank all of you for getting me to this point, I could have never done it without you guys. I’ve never felt stronger in my sobriety. I just ordered Russell Brand’s book on recovery. I’ve heard good things about it here and I want to ensure that I’m continuously working on my sobriety and preparing for my 1 year mark as it quickly approaches.

Thank you guys again! I love this community and how supportive everyone is here. Have a great day guys :v:

Congratulations! I really like Russell Brand, even though he is very spiritual, his book is open to atheist perspectives and lots of swearing. Hope you enjoy it.

Checking in at the end of day 131.
Had a moment where I really wanted to drink today. Singapore is going back towards lockdown measures, and it made me feel hopeless. I haven’t been home, or seen family and friends IRL for almost two years. It’ll be at least three now, but things feel so hopeless that it could well be more. I was ready to resign.
It’s Friday. Things are easing up in work. I’ve been sober for ages. Etc., etc… Everything was pointing towards a drink.
When it came down to it, though - the reality of it, the actual idea of putting that poison into my body was utterly repulsive to me.
I have told my wife this evening that, for the first time, I actually believe that I may never drink again.
So, after some rough news, I feel pretty positive.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :zzz::sleeping:

354 days today. 5 months of white knuckling before I made my way into my first room. Today I am grateful that I did. Great sponser, working my steps, great fellowship and tonight I’m actually going to chair my first meeting. Little nervous, I don’t do public speaking well but I know my home group is a safe place with no judgment so that boosts my confidence on the matter some.
