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

Practicing my numbers game for Saturday. :laughing:

Back hurts.
Not laid up in bed though.
Nice lunch.
Little depressed.
Still sober.
Iā€™ll call it a good day.
Fuck. Letā€™s call it a great day.

Checking in on day 27. One great thing coming out of my sober 4th of July weekend is that I discovered Limoncello Lacroix and I love it. We bought a case on Monday and thereā€™s only one can left after the one Iā€™m drinking right now :flushed:

My 5 year old is outside playing with the tee ball stuff so I am going to go do some Dad Stuff.

BTW, I am really proud of you @Penguin for opening up to your friend and sharing your story with us. What a beautiful friendship you must have! Itā€™s great to have that kind of support.

Hope everyone is having/had a lovely Thursday (or Friday for my antipodal buddies).

I skipped out on veterinary school. :rofl: but that doesnā€™t sound too bad. Speedy recovery Luna :kissing_cat:
Iā€™m glad you got her in today. And least you donā€™t have to guess or worry about what to do for her.
:pray:t2: I hope she eats the new food.

Beautiful!
Proud of you.
I remember telling my mom last year that I was an alcoholic and just being so scared and feeling very vulnerable. Her reaction was exactly the same as your friendā€™s. She said ā€œI know, weā€™ve all knownā€ ā€¦ it felt like I was the last to know. It was such a relief! And since then I havenā€™t drank. Sometimes we need that support more than we know.

Checking in.

Life is good.
I am getting myself out there, allowing people to see me as I am. It doesnā€™t feel bad, nor as uncomfortable as I thought it would. I feel like relationships with members from the area I was attending meetings at the begining of my recovery were not happening naturally. I donā€™t feel that way nowā€¦maybe I have found my home.

So there you have it folksā€¦
That took me 18 months of meetings and homegroups and hosting Zoom meetings and 2 sponsors and three fellowships in 2 different areas. 18 months of trying on a bunch of different shirts to see which one felt best and I wouldnā€™t have given up until I found one.

We can not do this alone and I am not saying that 12 step fellowships are for everyone. But we definitely need like minded people in our lives and hopefully more than 3/4 of them have healthy recovery under their belts.

Keep putting yourselves out there.
Congrats on your recovery.
