Checking in daily to maintain focus #31 (Part 2)

Sorry you are eating too much. There are a few threads here. I have the problem and it is unsettling. Mainly sweets and cheese. Glad you are happy w the fasting. Please stay hydrated and your electrolytes up. This past week I ate some stroopwafels that I had put off buying for a long time. I did not come here and ask for help. I should have. I bought them bc I thought company was coming and we would have one and I would send the rest home w the guest. I had three. At least I did not eat the whole package which I have lots before. So, I know I need to use the forum when I need to! I need to say HELP, I want to eat all the cookies, please help me stop. It is easy for me to hope the drinkers and druggers will ask for help and then I do not. So, I get where you are coming from. It has also helped me to log my calories, sometimes logging the offending calories before I eat them. I do not know how to add a thread link in here. I am glad you have gained some control. My best MO is not to keep my triggering foods in close reach. Wishing you success and control. Be safe w your fasting. I know many appreciate the benefits.

Day 90.

Its Sunday. My favorite day. Coffee is brewing. The sun is creeping up over the hill. The birds are singing. The morning air is cold and oh so crispā€¦

Everything is as it should be. And I am grateful to be clean and sober :heart:

Wow. I have had the best day today. Travelling there and back was an absolute nightmare. Delays, getting on the wrong trains, cancelled trains, but my gosh it was so worth it, and it all worked out in the end and I am home safe, Iā€™ve fed the cats and myself, unpacked, and showered.

The universe blessed us with the most beautiful summer day you could ever dream of, we swam in the sea and laid on the beach. When I first arrived, we stopped at a cafƩ for lunch, and I even came out about being an addict, and it was fine.

I have walked 12.5km today and havenā€™t even been for a walk, itā€™s just from all the walking Iā€™ve done between stops trains etc. My feet are and legs are absolutely killing and have been all day, but even that is worth it. It was so amazing to spend time with my friend in my favourite place, Iā€™d love to move there. I think one day I will.

I didnā€™t think of drinking or using once, only in past tense when I was briefly summarising my addiction/recovery journey.

I am bright red in most places though, wasnā€™t expecting sun but it was full power today! I will pick up some aftersun tomorrow and smother myself in it!

Struggling a bit with my insecurities/self worth. I see myself slipping into caring too much about what others think. Iā€™m just an awkward person and never feel like I fit in. Even here. I know not everyone is going to like me, and I know I shouldnā€™t care. But for some reason I just let this place get to me sometimes and just feel annoying/unliked. Not a huge deal, I will work through it. Iā€™m working through it it therapy, and the truth is, not everyone is going to like me. Itā€™s not the end of the world. It makes me a little sad that Iā€™m regressing a bit in that way. Oh well, such is life. Happy sober day everyone :heart:
