I had it all planned out, but then this happened… 
Awwww, rats!! 
Ah, but maybe it’s just what I needed. Lesson learned: can’t go back and change the past. I’m here now - not in the before time, and not in the future. Just learning to hang out in each present, sober moment, no matter rolls in or out. No matter what.
Bring on more moments, hey friends? Let’s share 'em for another day. You know we can.
G’night all, big love.

Speaking of tardy, I’m so late to the party! Congrats, lovely!
Your presence and your story bolster me so much - like a bank account of resilience I can draw from when mine’s dwindling. Thank you for you.

Checking in on day 307?
Idk, how I am feeling today. My gym is doing this yoga training class to become a yoga instructor. I’ve been thinking about it. It’s really expensive and its 200 hours. There are so many doubts in my head. I am just really getting beat up today by my own mind. Even my daughters dad asked if I thought I could really teach a class in front of all those people because he knows about my social anxiety. Truth is, idk. Idk if I could really be good at… anything. Then I watched that video @apes2020 posted and the video has a point. I only have so many weeks of my life left to live I might as well do something I love. Plus, whether I end up actually teaching yoga or not at least I am doing yoga. And if I ever want to own my own yoga studio it doesn’t hurt to be certified, right? Honestly, my mind and my own self doubt are my biggest enemies sometimes. I think I would be disappointed if I didn’t do it. So, I guess that’s my answer. LOL phew.
Congrats to all you amazing sober people on all the milestones. So glad you’re all here.

I want to thank everyone so, so much. I love this place and all of you (even @Englishd) . I of course want to do a more personal appreciation post, and will do so tomorrow. I’m just finishing up studying and nodding off. Zzz z
Today as well as the past few days has been bittersweet. It’s hard not to think about where I was a year ago. I’ve been reliving it a lot this week and I’m so grateful I never have to go back to that. It’s just kinda felt like a darkness over me these past few days.
I wanted to say a little more but my old lady ass just fell asleep typing. Happy sober days everyone!

Yes I have! Thats right, she becomes a yoga instructor! She seems WAY more outgoing than me though… but yeah. Yoga has been my saving grace since getting sober so idk.

She also had the same uncertainty about the whole thing, but she pushed through and it changed her life for the better. Maybe go back and read it again. You might get something different from it from your current standpoint.

That’s awesome, Sarah! Way to work through your insecurities and doubts. If you have the time and capability to go through the training, you don’t really have much to lose by doing it. Especially if you have a passion for it. Remember one day at a time? You can break down these thoughts and goals in the same way. Get through this training and you can deal with the next step when it comes! The training will likely help increase your confidence. Now, I’ve only got to apply that logic to myself

@anon74766472 Yes, thanks! You are right. I am definitely at the crossroad in my life where I am ready to start a new career and just completely change my life.
@Singtone Great advice, I will re-read!
@RosaCanDo Takes deep breath Ah, yes when you put it that way, I can totally do it, one day at a time. Thank you. (I am going to save this response so I can read it if my mind goes crazy on me again.)

I agree you should try it, if you don’t try you will never know. I believe a person should do as many things they possibly can in their life time. If the opportunity presents itself grab it! Remember impermenance… if you take the course and you do become a yoga instructor that doesn’t mean you are locked into being one forever. But why not try… and what better way to over come social anxiety then being in a mindful state infront of a group that is looking to you for guidance?
You would be an amazing yoga instructor, I completely believe in you.

Awww, you are honestly the sweetest ever! You have a HUGE point that being in a mindful state in front of a group of people could be the perfect scenerio for working through my social anxiety. I never thought of it that way!!! Gah, I love life… how we all just keep learning and growing… 
Thank you. (Honestly, if I can overcome this fear of mine, anything is possible for anyone.)

Isnt it interesting, I’ve never thought about my life before in terms of the amount of weeks etc. It was eye opening watching the video. It put my perception of my time here on earth into a different perspective. A great video.
